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—


    The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.


    *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.
