Chapter 375 Moving On Part 4
As Celine struggled to get back up, the man kept watching her with a cold, serious look.
"You've gotten weaker since I left you," he said calmly. "You were always too emotional for your own good."
Celine's face turned red with anger. "You think you know everything? I'm here for justice, Ryder!"
"Justice?" He shook his head. "You weren't supposed to seek revenge. I got rid of your parents because they were holding you back, making you weak. You should be thanking me—I'm the reason you're this strong now, even at your young age,"
"Fuck you!" she yelled, charging at him again, swinging her dagger with all her strength. But he was too quick, dodging her attack with ease.
Before she could react, he kicked her hard in the stomach.
She fell back, wincing in pain and glared at him, breathing hard. "You think you did me a favor? You killed them in front of me ! "
Ryder shook his head, "Controlling your emotions and mastering your skills is what matters. I trained you to be better than this."
He advanced again, his movements silent and refined.
Each step he took was precise, and every strike was perfectly timed.
Celine tried to defend herself, but her attacks were clumsy compared to his smooth, efficient motions. He easily dominated her.
Her face showed a mix of pain and embarrassment as she struggled to get back up. Her eyes were wide with frustration.
But the gap in their skills was too big, and it was painfully obvious.
Old memories flooded back.
She remembered asking him to train her after finding out she was a Divergent.
At first, their relationship as master and student was good. He had taught her a lot. But then, out of nowhere, he mercilessly killed her parents and left.
She tried to push the memories aside, but they stuck with her.
"I—I'm going to kill you..." she bit her lip in frustration, blood spilling from the small cut.
"You can try," he said, shaking his head with a cold expression. "But as long as you let your emotions control you every time, you won't grow."
CLAP!
CLAP!
CLAP!
Ryder stayed silent, focusing on his breathing as he drew another dagger.
Now wielding two blades, he prepared to intensify the fight.
"N— No," Celine's eyes widened in shock and fear.
She knew that her ex-master was ready to go all out. She could only imagine the kind of skill and power he was about to unleash.
"Run away...!" she warned, but before she could finish, Ryder was already a blur in motion, charging in for the kill.
'Run? Why?' Reign thought to himself, barely interested.
To everyone else, Ryder was moving too fast to keep up with, but to him, it felt like watching a snail.
When the blade came dangerously close to his eyes, he just tilted his head slightly to the side.
SWOOOOSH!
The dagger whizzed past him, missing by mere millimeters.
Ryder's eyes widened in surprise. He had expected his fast, deadly strike to land, but his opponent's reflexes were quicker.
He pulled back his daggers, and kept on putting a serious face.
"Is that all you've got?" Reign taunted. "I thought you were going to show me something impressive,"
Ryder's eyebrow twitched slightly, but he quickly brushed it off.
Instead, he signaled to his group.
They moved in unison, surrounding Reign with their weapons at the ready, prepared to strike.
"I'll give you credit," Ryder said while spinning his dagger.
"You're stronger than I thought. But our group is all about teamwork and tactics. Let's see how you deal with us."
"Teamwork?" Reign's lips curled into a smile. "Sounds like you're just saying you're too weak and needed help from others."
The remaining divergents stiffened, their body showing clear tension. They had always held their master in high regard, and Reign's words had left them visibly irritated.
"Now you're getting serious?" Reign taunted, his voice filled with amusement.
"Bring it on. I'm going to crush everything you learned from him."
