"Who was that kid? He actually caught Alston's sword..."
"Alston probably didn't put much strength into it. He may be straightforward, but he wouldn't bully a newcomer."
"Even so, he's a Professional! That little... that young adventurer on the other side doesn't seem to be struggling at all. Compared to Alston, he looks more like the one holding back."
"Could he be a Professional too?"
"Are you crazy? Professionals that young are rare even in the Royal City. Why would one appear in a small place like Roland Town..."

"Crack—!"
In the next instant, both wooden swords shattered. Alston stumbled back several steps, his face filled with shock.

Looking at Lin Mo, who had not moved an inch, Alston had undoubtedly fallen behind
