Chapter 70: Hao vs Ava
It seemed like their match spread quickly, so there were already dozens of people sitting on the bleachers. Most of them are just strangers who need entertainment, but there are also figures that Ava or Hao know.
"I'm not sure this way will make Rina fall in love," Rai grumbled as she slowly fanned her face. Yong who was sitting next to her shrugged, "Okay, because from my own observation, Rina is not the girl who will open her heart with just a few dinner invitations, either, at least this time my sister can get the girl to do something, even if it's not the most romantic activity."
Dom and River were on the front bench, both screaming in spirit despite two different intentions.
"Excite, Rina!" River is encouraging.
"Harp to the brunt of that snot boy!" Dom, of course, would rather see Hao limp.
A line of unfamiliar faces cheered as well.
"Don't lose, sweet girl!"
"I bet the sword guy will win!"
"100 coins for that woman!"
Ava should have placed a bet as well, good enough for the extra money.
"Maybe it's best tomorrow - tomorrow we have to close the access so as not to be too noisy," Hao nagged.
"But the rent is bigger."
"I have money." Ava didn't reply.
The two of them finally prepared upright, then bowed to each other to pay their respects. Hao picked up the horses, both of his hands clasping the handle of the sword. On the other hand, Ava charged straight at him.
The first few seconds were very intense. The spectators who had been rowdy were instantly silent.
Hao sharpened his focus, slowly shortening the distance. Ava who caught the subtle gesture also greeted aggressively. Quickly, dozens of attacks had already been eased smoothly. The girl was also deftly holding her long sword with both daggers.
Meanwhile, in her heart, Ava complained about her body's reaction was too fast, so fast that she had three times almost fell due to unbalanced footstool.
Now it was Hao's turn to start the counterattack. He swung down, up, then sideways. Unfortunately all managed to be avoided with a thin gap, the effective movement of people who had been fighting on the road for many years.
It seems, fighting is the most effective way to quickly adapt. Ava is more comfortable with her own body. So he attacked his opponent with a barrage, aiming for his head, shoulders, waist, and legs.
Yet Hao was still a swordsman even though his level was still in his 20s. The hard training he took from childhood provided him with swordsmanship that allowed him to defeat medium-level monsters without any difficulty.
Instead, Ava had already started to get exhausted, so she intended to end this duel as soon as possible. The offensive is getting tougher.
Hao did not expect that his opponent would spin, in an instant behind him, he could dodge even though imperfectly, his horses were crushed. Ava immediately kicked hard Hao's leg, which instantly made the man fall on his back. The girl pressed down on her sprawled opponent, pressing Hao's arm with both knees, the two wooden daggers crossed under the man's chin.
Ava wins.
The audience became boisterous.
But Hao was distracted by the girl's warm body, her lavender-scented skin, and Rina's sweaty face that remained stunning not even a moment in front of him.
He only hoped that Rina was unaware of the heart thump practically pounding on her ribs.
