"Who's that kid? He actually blocked Alton's strike..."
"He probably wasn't using much strength. Alton can be hot-headed, but he wouldn't stoop to bullying a rookie."
"Even so, he's a Professional! And that... that young Adventurer opposite him doesn't look like he's struggling at all. If anyone's holding back, it seems to be him, not Alton."
"Could he be a Professional, too?"
"Are you crazy? A Professional that young is a rare sight even in the Royal City. You'd never find one in a small place like Roland Town..."
Lin Mo's voice was drowned out by the surrounding chatter, so no one heard him.
Even so, Alton's face flushed red with embarrassment.
It was true he hadn't used his full strength in that last strike, but he hadn't been holding back much, either. Aside from not using any Skills, that was his normal level of performance.
After all, he had entered this duel intending to teach Lin Mo a lesson.
But now, it was hard to say who would come out on top.
