"Victoria?"
"What are you doing here?" Charles asked curiously.
"Did you forget? I am also an adventurer." She said with a pout. Which made her look cute.
Charles also found her actions cute. He could not help but look at her adorably as if looking at a rabbit.
Today she was wearing a top which showed her C-cups perfectly with short jeans-like cloth which showed her long white leg and ass-cheek and her hair was tied in a ponytail like before.
"Ahem! How long are you going to stare at me?" She said in a teasing tone.
Charles also realized he was looking at her for too long. He quickly reverted his gaze.
"I was just mesmerized by your beauty," Charles answered honestly, scratching his face.
Her face became red, She blushed as she did not think Charles would reply honestly.
She quickly shifted the topic "I-is this your shop?" She looked around and said hurriedly.
"Yes, I just opened the shop today. I sell weapons here, do you want to take a look?" Charles replied smiling softly.
"If you don't mind," she said to Charles.
Charles showed all the things in his shop. He then remembered that she is a dagger user.
"You use daggers, Right?"
"Yes?"
"Why don't you check these daggers? they are of very good quality." he started showing her daggers of different shapes.
"Let me see that one," Victoria said pointing at the dagger.
Charles handed the dagger to her. She held the daggers, closely examining them.
'Why is the quality of this dagger so good.' she thought.
She then checked the other daggers, and they were of very good quality, she also checked the swords and other stuff and to her surprise, they were of very good quality
'The quality of these weapons is better no they are on a whole other level compared to the army's weapons.' She had a very shocked expression. Examining the weapons, Charles misunderstood.
"Are they of bad quality?" He asked with a worried expression.
Hearing what Charles said she came back from the daze. Looking at him she could not help but giggle, founding his expression cute.
"You don't have to be worried, the quality of these weapons is very good, I was just amazed seeing the quality of these weapons." She chuckled saying that.
Charles sigh in relief,
Victoria then put on a serious expression and asked "Where did you get these weapons from?"
Charles was flustered hearing that, he could not think of a reply.
After a moment of silence.
"Th-these.." He could not think of an excuse.
Seeing that Victoria quickly said, "If you don't want to tell it's okay, everyone has their secret." Victoria wasn't thinking of putting him on the edge.
After looking around for a while, Victoria bought a pair of daggers, they were beautiful with a curve in the middle and a sharp edge.
She then asked Charles. "When would you be free?"
"I am free right now, I don't think there would be any more costumer coming here. As most of them should be doing quests." Charles replied tilting his head a little.
"I just wanted to check the quality of these daggers, if you don't mind would you like to spar with me?"
"I would love to, I also wanted to do some sparring. Let's go to the mountain nearby." He said with excitement in his eyes.
He also wanted to have some fighting experience.
After closing the shop, Charles and Victoria headed towards the mountain, It was not far from Charles's shop.
. . .
After about five minutes of walking, they arrived there.
Charles also used his appraisal on her.

Charles was shocked to see her level 'She is in superior low level.' He was also not that dense to not know that his talent is terrifying. But to think she is just a year older than him and is in the superior low level. It was just terrifying talent.
But Charles came out of his daze, when Victoria said "I will not go easy on you so don't hold back." She was pointing her new dagger at Charles who was five metres away from her. From her tone, she was very confident in defeating Charles.
Charles smirked hearing what Victoria said and set his position.
"Let's start at the count of three," Charles said to Victoria who was in her battle position.
"Fine with me." She replied a little loudly with excitement.
Charles was also feeling a little hot, his heart was pounding fast not because he was scared but because he was feeling excited thinking about the fight 'Is this what the feeling battle junkies get?' he thought to himself.
"One, Two, Three." Both Charles and Victoria said in unison.
After counting Victoria immediately rushed at Charles who was standing still on guard.
*Cling* *Cling* *Cling*
Both of their weapons clashed making sparks. However, Charles's skill with his sword was better on top of his strength. Victoria knew if it continued like this, she would be on the losing side.
*Swoosh*
She took a few steps backwards before stealthy throwing a shuriken at Charles.
Charles also noticed the shuriken rushing towards him, he instantly moved sideways avoiding the shuriken.
Victoria took the opportunity to strike. She was going for his neck. But Charles noticed that and used his sword to stop the attack but Victoria Midway's stopped her attack and gave Charles a roundhouse to his stomach.
*Smack*
*Cough*
He was caught off guard, he coughed saliva out of his mouth.
He was on one of his knees, the impact was big. Victoria thought she had already won. When Charles suddenly launched a fireball, it was the size of a tennis ball, from other's eyes, it was as if it would not inflict any damage.
Victoria's body shuddered unconsciously, seeing the small fireball in front of her.
*Swoosh*
The fireball launched at an extremely fast speed, Victoria was barely able to dodge it and
*Boosh* *Boosh* *Boosh*...
The fireball precised through the trees as if they were just paper, the fireball left holes in fifteen trees.
Victoria's body shivered seeing the impact.
...
Roundhouse- kick made with a wide sweep of the leg and rotation of the body.
