Lucy charged forward with a burst of energy, and wind, closing the distance between them in a heartbeat.
She clenched her muscles in her right hand and left leg, then thrust her rapier forward.
"Gahhh!!" Ban Xen yelped in surprise, taking a step back and turning his short swords towards his chest, blocking the incoming thrust at the same time.
He staggered due to the force, taking a few steps back when Lucy clicked her tongue and charged forward.
His body was sent on high alert as he yelped in surprise again, dodging the attack by a hair's breadth and moving to the side.
Lucy followed immediately, closing the gap between them as soon as he attempted to widen it.
Each movement she made was like a flowing river, or more like a flying dragon, precise and quick, with easy steps.
It looked like she was gliding while she moved, twirling her rapier as she did so to attack Ban.
