System vs Rebirth

Noel and Anna stood in front of each other. Now that the mansion had been built, they could use the backyard to have a little spar.

"Let's see whether your skill has gotten rusty or not." Noel smiled while raising his stance.

"I should be the one saying that. You have been buried by all those works after all." Anna harrumphed.

"The only way to prove that is by fighting. Are you ready?" Noel pointed his sword at Anna.

"Of course. I'm just waiting for you."

"What a provocation!"

Both of them smiled as Noel began to count.

"3…"

"2…"

"1…"

They said the last count together as their bodies began to move. "0!"

The moment they reached each other, Noel opened the fight with a slash from the bottom left going all the way to her shoulder in the opposite direction. Anna maintained her posture and struck Noel's sword in the middle.

Cling!

The clicking sound was the mark of the start of their battle.

Seeing Anna parry his sword, Noel was about to slide his sword on her before making a second swing.

However, Anna actually rotated her sword slightly toward her so that Noel ended up moving a step forward.

When adjusting to that balance, Noel couldn't retract his blade or take advantage of Anna's sword.

As a result, Anna took a step forward and tried to knock his sword off his hand.

Before she could do it, Noel used his usual strategy, which was to use the momentum to grab Anna's leg. Since he was going to lean to the ground due to the moment, he should take advantage of that opportunity to seal her mobility.

"!!!" Anna clicked her tongue. Because she took a step forward earlier, she had no way of avoiding this. So, she just let Noel grab her lower thigh while making another swing.
