Her Majestic Battle Cry

Violet observed the group before her.

Two of them were shorter in stature, stocky and muscular. They had arms that appeared unusually thick, and their necks had visible veins bulging slightly. The other three were taller. Though their breathing seemed normal, Violet couldn’t help but notice that their shoes were nearly spotless, showing no sign of dust.

This suggested they practiced Silent Force, a type of internal martial arts.

Those who mastered Silent Force could control their breathing, making it shallow or deep at will. Judging by their composure, Violet suspected their skills were considerable.

“Do you know martial arts?” she asked.

The group all shook their heads, their faces looking notably sincere. “No.”

Violet took another look; in a sudden motion, she threw a punch at the shorter man.

His eyes flickered with alarm, but then he quickly shut them, his face showing a look of fear.

Violet retracted her fist. From the brief flash of light in his eyes, it was clear this was the instinctive reaction of a martial artist. However, he controlled it well and didn’t raise his hand to block.

This, in fact, revealed something. Even someone who didn’t know martial arts would instinctively make a blocking gesture if suddenly attacked in the face, regardless of whether they could defend it.

However, the short man didn’t do that.

Violet smiled faintly and turned to leave.

The group exchanged a cold, silent glance before slowly backing away.
