151. The royal duel-1

[Amor’s POV]

Zeve and Hikari took ten steps away from one another, turned and then stood facing each other.

The referee signalled.

Five.

Four.

Three.

Two.

One.

The fireworks shot into the sky one after the other.

Boom!

The fireworks exploded in the heights of the sky.

The balls of colourful light sprayed the dark canvas of the sky with sparkling lights over the stadium.

The ones following it lit the stadium with red, green, blue, yellow lights.

But none of the fireworks were grand enough to make Zeve flinch as she stood glaring right into Hikari’s eyes.

The last firework exploded.

Before its bang could seize, their swords clicked out of their scabbards.

The stadium was soon buzzing with the clanging of their swords.

The two very important blades of my life were finally clashing against one another.

The sound of steel slowly sliding on one another screeched in the stadium when they parried each other and stood feet apart, panting.

Taking Hikari’s one slash was no joke
