"Damn… That was insane…" I mutter in awe, still reeling from the sheer precision and power of Ariella's strike.
I didn't even expect the rapier to cut that cleanly. This means that Ariella's swordsmanship is even more excellent than I thought.
"Ahem," I clear my throat, catching everyone's attention. "Lisa, you want to try as well? You look like you're itching to give it a go."
"Huh?" Sophia looks surprised, her eyes wide. "C-can I?"
"Yep! Here you go," Ariella says with a big smile and hands the rapier over to Sophia.
I watch that exchange with squinting eyes. Good… it looks like Sophia is now able to control her emotions while together with Ariella. She was having some trouble when we first started staying at the Harrow estate. But now, everything is good. There's nothing for me to worry about.
"Sorry, Bella, but could you please get us another dummy?" I ask.
"No problem, Master Asteria!" Bella replies cheerfully.
