The moment the instructor signaled the start—

  **Dante vanished.**

  His **footwork was insane**. A blur of silver and black, he darted toward me at blinding speed.

  **"Too slow, Kaiser!"**

  His rapier lunged straight for my heart.

  I barely had time to react—

  If you stumble upon this narrative on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

  *CLANG!*

  I twisted my body, using my **Berserker Sword** to deflect the strike.

  Dante’s eyes gleamed.

  **"Not bad. But can you keep up?"**

  He blurred again.

  A flurry of **rapid strikes** came at me from all angles.

  I gritted my teeth.

  I couldn’t match his speed.

  But I **didn’t need to.**

  **[Villain System – Ability Activation]**

  - **Sixth Sense Lv.2: Incoming attacks detected.**

  My instincts screamed.

  I **sidestepped**, barely dodging a thrust aimed at my ribs.

  Dante’s smile wavered.

  **"Huh?"**

  I grinned.

  **"My turn."**

  I swung my **Berserker Sword** in a wild arc—forcing him back.

  Dante landed a few meters away, eyes narrowed.

  **"You… you’ve changed."**

  I smirked.

  **"Oh? Not what you expected?"**

  Dante chuckled.

  **"Not at all. This just got interesting."**

  Then he dashed at me again.

  The real fight had begun.
