"Bang!"
In the corner of the courtyard, Brian slammed down hard, crashing into a pile of blunted practice swords and scattered them in all directions, clattering to the ground.
"Cough...!"
Brian seemed to expel all the air from his lungs with a violent cough, giving the impression that even blood might come out next.
Reiger's kick wasn't particularly heavy; at least, for someone of Brian's size, it should not have been enough to make him cough up blood.
Yet that kick had stunned Brian, who lay there sprawled on the ground, maintaining his fallen posture without regaining his senses for a long while.
"You..."
It was only after he came to his senses that Brian turned his gaze towards Reiger, his eyes filled with disbelief.
It wasn't just Brian; the reaction of the others present was similar.
"Caught, caught it...?"
Clem was staring, dumbfounded.
"That slash just now..."
Gegran too looked towards Reiger with a face full of shock.
