Just the words left the mouth of Arden, the smile on the face of Raymond vanished as if it was never there and cold bloodlust filled his eyes. Without waiting for a second, he took a turn and gave a roundhouse kick to Leo on his abdomen.

Without waiting for a second, he took a turn and gave a roundhouse kick to Leo on his abdomen. But before his feet could touch Leo, he backflipped and landed a few feet away.

A cold smirk on his face as he looked at Raymond who had a smirk on his face too.

They both ran towards each other and Leo punched Raymond, but he blocked the punch with his right hand and attacked the neck of Leo with other hand.

Leo tried to move away but his hands were still blocked by Raymond. His hands were in his tight grip, and Raymond smirked when he was able to hit his neck.

But just as Raymond's hands touched Leo's neck, Leo kicked hard on his upper thighs.

Raymond's eyes widened but then he tried to pull Leo up his feet so that he would throw Leo down on the floor. But Leo gave his torso a twist and his arms flipped on his wrist making him fall on the floor.

But just when Raymond was about to fall, he bent his knees and then tangled his knees on Leo's legs and both of them fell on the floor but they both used their palms to hold the floor so that their face did not get hit by it.

Loud gasps could be heard around them with murmurs but they both continued to look at each other with cold eyes.

"That was a good kick!

" complimented Raymond but Leo did not reply.

They both flipped up and took their positions back. Raymond was about to punch Leo when Leo raised his knees above his torso but before it could hit the chin of Raymond, he bent his body to the other side.

But instead of aiming at his face, Leo flexed his legs and kicked the torso of Raymond and he fell a few feet away.

But he folded his legs on the toes of the Leo to drag him too. The result was Leo fell over Raymond, with Raymond down while Leo was above him.

"........

" they looked more like lovers instead of warriors at that time.

"Would you let me go first?

" asked Leo in a cold voice but Raymond had a mischievous smile on his face.

In the next moment, he hooked his arms on the torso of Leo and turned in a way that Leo was below while Raymond was over him.

But before he could take advantage and hit Leo on his face. Leo moved his knees and hit Raymond straight between his legs.

Raymond's eyes widened and his face turned red instantly.

"Master, are you trying to finish my lineage today!

" he asked as he winced.

"Ohhh

" all the knights took a sharp breath as they felt the impact of the kick.

Raymond pushed Leo away with full force as she touched his legs with a still red face and shouted,

"isn't it against the rules, master?

" Leo just smirked and shook his head.

"Did I not say there was no rule?

" he tilted his head and looked at Raymond with challenging eyes who gritted his teeth.

"Fine, then do not regret your decision later.

" Raymond took out a dagger from his dress. He still had a few left from the shooting competition and everyone shouted once again.

"Hey, you can not use your arms. This is against the rules!

" though their master was behaving mercilessly and they all were surprised by the intensity leo was fighting. They still thought that using weapons with bare hands was wrong!

Raymond chuckled as he continued to look at Leo with alert eyes even when talking to others. He knew that the fight was on the crucial point and a single mistake could cause much damage.

"Didn't the master say there is no rule?

" In the end he even shrugged his shoulders to show that he had no responsibility. He was just following the rules!

".....

" they did not know how Raymond was surviving when Leo was so strong. They were sure that they would have lost a long time, yet they could not digest that Raymond was trying to use weapons on Leo.

"But still..

" Leo raised his hand to stop everyone from speaking. They all shut their mouths when Leo tilted his head and looked at Raymond as I challenged him to use the dagger.

Everyone knew that Raymond was the best when it comes to taking a shot or aiming at the target. Raymond chuckled when he looked at the confident face of his master.

He still did not understand why his master suddenly wanted to spar with him and the intensity of attack was so strong as if he wanted to kill him right there.

That was why he used the dagger as a last resort. He did not want to lose the fight. With that thought, he held the dagger tightly in his hands and threw it straight at the chest of Leo.

He knew that Leo would run away and then he would get the chance to plan a better attack. But even when he threw the dagger, Leo did not move at all, making his heartbeat fast.

His eyes widened when the dagger was about to stab Leo but before it could happen, Leo moved his hand and joined them on the dagger holding it just an inch away from his heart.

Blood started to come out from his hands instantly showing the force he had used in the defense but he did not even wince or his eyebrows wrinkled. He continued to stare at Raymond with straight cold eyes as he asked, in a sharp voice,

"Now that the dagger is with me, I can use it too, right?

"
