The sound that resonated through the training ground was bizarrely strange, considering it was just swords clashing. A storm-like wind that began between us spread in all directions. Clatter, clatter! The…

“Our family is cursed by a demon? Seriously, it never ends.” Lucia twirled her pinky around her ear, as if there was no longer anything worth listening to.
