  This time, I didn’t wait.

  I met her halfway, fists clashing.

  The crowd was going wild.

  **"They’re insane!"**

  **"Lucian is actually keeping up with her?!"**

  Selene’s speed was still higher.

  But I wasn’t the same **delinquent trash noble** from before.

  I ducked under her punch—

  Then countered with a brutal uppercut.

  **"Guh—!"**

  Her body lifted off the ground for a second before she crashed onto her back.

  The first **knockdown.**

  The instructor raised a hand.

  **"Point to Lucian!"**

  The crowd gasped.

  I exhaled, shaking my fist.

  Selene blinked at the sky—then burst out laughing.

  **"You’re crazy, Lucian!"**

  She hopped back to her feet.

  **"Again!"**

  I sighed.

  This girl was going to kill me.
