"Ah, that ans your combat skills are still not up to par. After all, from the looks of it, you’ve already inherited the power of the Lion Heart. In terms of physical attributes, there are very few who can easily overpower you now."
Upon hearing Olivia’s nonchalant remarks, Kael squinted his eyes.
This woman seed to know more about the "Proof of the Lion Heart" than he had imagined.
As if recalling sothing, Olivia took another swig of her drink, then flashed a brilliant smile, and said:
"n have a lot of things they won’t tell won. Kael, you want to have a go with ? Let test your ttle."
Kael appraised the voluptuous teacher before him. The expression on her face was anything but joking; there was even a faint sense of danger he could feel emanating from her.
This woman... was probably stronger than he had imagined.
Of course, Kael naturally didn’t voice this thought.
He curled his lips into a smile and whispered, "Happy to oblige."
...
"It’s a good thing you two aren’t married yet, just in case I end up killing you..." On stepping into the enclosed training arena of the Royal Knight Academy, Olivia imdiately began her verbal assault.
"If you die, I’ll personally deliver your ashes to explain it all to Elanna," Kael replied nonchalantly.
In the heat of battle, Olivia appeared quite aggressive, even confrontational, applying pressure the mont she stepped into the ring.
Kael remained unfazed. Rather than seeing Olivia as weak, her pre-fight ntal tactics served as a reminder to him. Do not underestimate a seemingly easy-going Olivia, as she was more dangerous than she appeared.
Standing in the ring, Olivia smiled lightly and said, "Youngster, tell , what is the most powerful close-combat technique?"
Kael frowned, lifted a small stone with his foot, and precisely chopped it with his hand, smashing it into pieces in an instant, then said:
"Concentrating all your power and releasing it at one point. That is the strongest technique."
"And what about the strongest defense?"
"It’s offense. Instead of trying to defend, put all your effort into attacking."
Kael’s combat philosophy was one of utmost strength and rigidity. He believed in close combat, lacking either softness or hardness ant wasting energy, while being hard without being soft led to ineffective results.
Clearly, Olivia didn’t share the sa thoughts.
Kael didn’t say much more. Whether it worked or not, a fight would reveal the truth.
In the next instant, they launched their attacks, imdiately attempting to answer the question with actions.

Both mutually agreed not to use spells to enhance their bodies. Kael, believing he didn’t have much physical advantage, planned to suppress Olivia through swift attacks right away.
However, just as he was about to strike, Olivia raised her hand to stop him. She first neatly placed her Knight’s coat aside, revealing an unexpectedly alluring upper body, then assud a barehanded combat stance.
Kael shifted his feet, ready to attack, but Olivia interrupted him again.
"Kid, you’re quite strong. An unwanted old woman like , who drinks every day, feels a bit of back pain as soon as it’s ti to fight. Do you mind if I warm up a bit?"
Kael felt speechless, his patience thinning, and said, "Fine."
What could he say? He couldn’t exactly argue about respecting elders... though his quick glance at her did not see the so-called wrinkles of an elder, but rather a grand, magnificent view.
Whoa! Who would’ve thought this teacher Olivia, who seed so ordinary, actually concealed such secrets!
But Kael didn’t notice that, as they say, "start with vigor, then fade and exhaust..." Being interrupted twice by Olivia had already diminished Kael’s intent to decide the winner instantly in that clash.
With just a few words, Olivia sapped Kael’s morale.
Though cautious by nature, Kael didn’t drop his guard due to those words. Just as he was preparing his stance, waiting for Olivia’s attack, she suddenly launched herself forward, attacking with astonishing speed.
She delivered a powerful flying kick. Taken by surprise, Kael raised his arms to block, but was imdiately forced back several ters.
Olivia quickly followed up, leaping into the air, and descended with an axe-like downward kick.
Kael crossed his hands to block, but the montum carried the heavy blow; he couldn’t withstand it and was forced to one knee.
In that split second of landing, Olivia imdiately launched a left leg front kick. Using his kneeling position, Kael swiftly leaned back, narrowly dodging the heart-piercing kick.
As Kael turned to look back, Olivia followed up once more. With a shuffle step, she executed a right leg side kick. Kael reacted quickly, crossing his arms to block.
But Olivia, with her rich experience, instantly retracted the knee and attacked again, kicking away Kael’s crossed arms, and then swept her third kick towards Kael’s face.
