I could feel the tension between Evangeline and me. Our eyes locked, and we stared at each other challengingly. At that moment, the world around us fell silent; the sound of the wind, the chirping of birds, even the gentle lapping of the lake's waves seemed to fade into the background. It was as if only the two of us existed, and the world revolved around us.
As we waited to see who would make the first move, Evangeline suddenly lunged forward. Her movements were so swift that it was hard to grasp how her graceful body adapted to such power. Her sword descended upon me like a storm. I quickly defended with my Kaizer power, deflecting her blade and stepping back. Evangeline wasn't hiding her power; this was a moment that revealed her true warrior spirit.
"Good start," I muttered, gripping my sword tightly.
"I haven't even begun," she replied, her voice firm and calm. There was a glint in her eyes, waiting for my challenge.
