'Huh? Is she actually avenging me?
Are my eyes playing any tricks on me?
No no no no, there is no way teacher would do something like that.
Wait… did he somehow offend her with her words?
That does sound like something that could happen, his tongue is poisonous indeed.'
A small smile appeared on Candice's face as she watched Arvina and Nux standing in front of her with wooden swords in their hands.
'Heh, you finally get what you deserve, you bastard!'
Candice laughed inwardly.
Actually, she wanted to laugh out loud, however, if she did, her teacher would find where she was hiding and would change the location.
She was now sure that her teacher was a shy type of person.
She won't help her in front of her, however, she would avenge her behind her back.
Hehe~ Her teacher was amazing.
Candice laughed inwardly and looked forward to this battle.
"Shall we start now?" Arvina questioned.
"Yes, teacher," Nux answered.
"Alright, attack me with everything you got," Arvina instructed.
Nux nodded and then he rushed towards Arvina and aimed at her head. Arvina, of course, blocked the attack with her sword.
Nux didn't give up, another sword appeared in his left hand and he attacked her waist.
Arvina raised her eyebrow in surprise and then, she stepped back and dodged the attack.
"You use two swords?" Arvina questioned in surprise.
"I use anything I can to defeat my opponent, swords, dagger, spears, stones, fist, anything."
Nux answered and a smile appeared on Arvina's face.
"Alright, come at me then."
Nux nodded and then, he dashed towards her again, he first aimed at her feet, Arvina raised her leg to dodge the attack, having already anticipated that, Nux stepped forward and attacked her other leg.
Or so he wanted to, however, there was already a sword that was placed on his neck.
Forcing him to stop.
"Don't just think about your own tactics, think about what your opponent might do as well. You gave me too much time here."
Nux nodded and stepped back.
He then dashed towards her again and repeated the same move, Arvina raised her leg to dodge and this time, Nux crouched and tried to attack her remaining leg with his right leg, Arvina, however, stepped aside and placed her sword on Nux's neck again.
Or not…
Before she could do so, Nux crawled over and created some distance between the two of them.
Arvina didn't want to miss this opportunity, so she rushed toward him however, Nux quickly threw dust on her face, trying to blind her.
Of course, this trick doesn't work against someone like Arvina, she quickly stepped away and waited for Nux to stand up.
"Despicable attack."
She smiled.
"As I said, I'll do anything to win, I am not a noble knight," Nux answered and although Arvina didn't like this answer and what Nux did, she accepted it.
It made his story feel more real, tactics like these are what many adventurers who hunt Star Beasts use, so she had expected something like this from Nux.
"You are a lot stronger than I expected, Candice stood no chance against you."
Arvina muttered.
"As I said, defeating her wasn't anything to celebrate.
Candice wasn't even a competition." Nux smiled and Candice, who heard everything from afar, gnashed her teeth.
'Hateful bastard!
I hope you die as painfully as possible!'
"Alright, now I will be the one attacking you, get ready," Arvina muttered and a smile appeared on Candice's face.
'Heh, even teacher didn't like what that bastard said huh…'
Arvina then rushed towards Nux, of course, it was a spar so she didn't use her full speed.
She was an Expert Stage Cultivator, there is no way an Advance Stage Cultivator would be able to defeat her, therefore, she held herself back.
She aimed at Nux's waist, Nux reacted quickly and moved his body, then, he tried to aim at Arvina's neck.
The best defence was an attack!
However, this time, Arvina didn't step back like before, she just tilted her head a little and then, she attacked Nux's shoulder.
She didn't lose this lead, she moved her sword and targeted Nux's knee, her speed wasn't fast, it was similar to Nux's speed, however, her attacks were still hard to dodge.
Nux was barely hanging on, and that was because his senses were a lot stronger than normal.
He was a Grand Master Stage Cultivator after all.
Nux dodged Arvina's attack and saved his knee, then, he used his sword's hilt to attack Arvina's neck, she shifted her body and let him attack her shoulder instead.
And at the same time, she punched Nux's chest.
Nux reacted quickly, however, he noticed that there was nothing he could do to stop this punch. His right hand was near Arvina's face, while his left hand…
Well, it was completely out of the battle area since he was trying to summon another sword in that hand.
In the end, Nux could only tilt her body a little and the punch connected.
"Ugghh!"
Nux groaned in pain as he was forced to take a few steps back.
"That hurts…" he groaned and then he glanced at Arvina, however, he was surprised to see a shocked look on her face.
Suddenly, Arvina disappeared from where she was standing, Nux's eyes widened in surprise, he quickly turned around and blocked her attack with his sword.
Arvina however, wasn't done yet.
She used dragged her sword down and attacked Nux's feet, Nux wanted to do a backflip to dodge that attack, however, his cultivation was restricted, his body couldn't react as fast as his mind and Arvina's sword hit his ankle.
"Aaahhh!"
Nux grabbed his ankle and jumped a few times, trying to cope with the pain.
"Teacher Arvina, that really hurts!" He complained.
However, he frowned when he saw the surprised look on Arvina's face.
Soon, the surprised look disappeared and she closed her eyes,
"As I expected," She muttered.
"What?" Nux frowned.
Arvina then opened her eyes and glared at Nux,
"You are not an Advance Stage Cultivator, what is your actual cultivation?"
