A loud ring went off in Valaria's head.
Her consciousness blurred the line between awake and numb.
"Urgh..."
A low groan escaped her lips, the continuous ringing causing an intense headache in her mind.
"Just accept defeat," Kurt said, bringing his sword down on her.
"No!"
Mustering as much strength as she could, she pushed herself out of the trajectory of the strike, her body awkwardly rolling to the side in a desperate attempt to survive.
"You heard the Headmistress... just because you lose now doesn't mean you lose in the future," Kurt retorted, annoyed by her persistence. He pulled back his sword and pursued her.
"It's an assumption," Val screamed, stabbing one of her batons into the wall.
She then forced herself up and launched the other one at Kurt.
He sighed, watching the incoming projectile with calm eyes before effortlessly cleaving it in two.
As the two halves flew past him, he continued pursuing Val, who tapped her ring once more.
