Like her brother, Gwen preferred to use her legs. She may not be particularly tall, but she was blessed with long legs.
Normally, men would like to touch these works of art, but when they tried, their faces were likely to meet with it instead.
Gill would repeatedly tell her since she was young that men cannot be trusted and she had to keep a sharp eye on them. He taught to always employ critical thinking, regardless of how ’good’ a man seemed.
(She’d argue he didn’t really use much of his critical thinking when it came to his love life, but at least he used it on life-and-death situations.)
Anyway, his teachings made her very choosy growing up (beating up quite a few men in her lifetime) but, fortunately, she did find a good one in the end.
At this though, her sights swiped across Ryan’s very worried face and she couldn’t help but smile.
The sight seemed to have sent energy to Gwen’s hits and she sent flurries of swift kicks and swipes towards her opponent. Mart wasn’t weak, but she was fast and she used her size quite well, avoiding the man’s attacks with impressive flexibility. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
Her brother taught her a lot about handling bigger opponents. After all, with her size and the fact that she was female, bigger opponents comprised 99% of her opponents.
Eventually, Mart’s movements turned a bit sluggish after her barrage of attacks and she took advantage of the minute opening to finally land a good one at his stomach.
"OOOUGHHF!" he gasped, slightly pushed back. Gwen’s eyes sparkled and she didn’t take a pause at all. She jumped and raised her legs 90 degrees from the ground—finishing the fight with a beautiful axe kick.
Bang!!!
The next moment, Mart’s face was on the ground, and his suffering was followed by boisterous cheers from the crowd.
"Amazing! Amazing!"
"So awesome!"
"Beautifully done!!"
Mart immediately stood up, though he seemed to have surrendered already. He was looking at her with admiration and a wide grin on his face (which was funny because he had a lot of soil on his face and teeth).
"That’s really good," he said, extending his hand. "Hope you can teach me some moves."
Gwen giggled, about to nod, but suddenly a familiar blonde appeared between them. "You okay?" he asked, looking at her in concern.
Gwen smiled. "Of course."
Ryan heaved a deep breath of relief before he turned to look at Mart, who was still standing there. He was probably waiting for him to leave so he could continue his conversation with Gwen.
This irked Ryan very much. "Dismissed," he said.
"Sir?"
"You may go now."
"..."
Mart had no choice but reluctantly leave, his shoulders slumped in disappointment.
Ryan nodded and then turned to look at Gwen again, only to see her staring at him with a sly smile.
His heart thumped and his face turned red in embarrassment. "W-What is it?"
"You’re very cute," she told him—quite frankly—and Ryan could only scratch the back of his neck in shyness.
