Winter knelt once more, this time a glyph appearing behind her. Weiss leaned forward, watching as the professor took a side-on stance, sword held at a forty-five-degree angle. He would be able to block the first strike, Weiss knew that, so did Winter.

But it was the return that would decide it, the choice of where Winter stopped and how she followed up.

True to form he dodged her initial thrust, stepping to the side as she blurred by.
