TILL THE VERY END [MK X F!Reader]

[5. Noodles or Death]

"You have my greatest hatred for tricking me to come here, Jiu Yuzhou!!" You complained as Jiu Yuzhou sharpened her knife.

She laughed a bit, "Woah, respect your own grandmother, (Y/n). This is the last time, I promise. Now, pay close attention to the training."

"Ugh, no powers?"

"No powers."

Unsure of your readiness to face death directly at this time, you tightened your grip on the handle of your knife.

You're not afraid to admit that you were terrified.

When Yuzhou ordered you to get prepared for a duel, you were already nervous since this was the first time you had really performed knife combat with your grandmother.

Her intimidating demeanor and extreme strength leave you a bit shaken.

But this is only practice. Therefore, why would you be scared?

Your muscles began to relax as you gave it some thought, becoming calm and prepared.

"Ready, dear?" Yuzhou asked kindly and before you even had a change to respond, she pounced towards you real quick.

When she attacked, she landed behind you, and you just needed to go forward by a single step to avoid getting stabbed by her knife.

Your grandma remained ahead of you despite the fact that you moved very smoothly and gracefully. She had time to shift to the right as you attempted to strike.

"I'm definitely not prepared for this!" You wailed in fear as you stepped back and crouched down.

Yuzhou made another high kick motion, her crimson eyes glaring at you as if you were an open prey. You moved back once more, follow it up with an attack. Yet again, Yuzhou can fought back by clashing both of your knives together.

Again and again, the timing of your counterattack was always off.

You began to ponder this inside. Are you the one with sluggish reflexes, or does Yuzhou have quick ones?

Although you made swift defensive actions, they all continued in the same direction as Yuzhou's knife, which she was using to block your strikes.

The two of you were now circling one another; Yuzhou held her knife in front of her and slightly upward while you crouched, held your knife low.

Yuzhou attempted another attack, but this time she shifted to the right, where you usually move to avoid attacks. Taking a quick glance at her movement, you unexpectedly turned to the left and slashed her skin with your knife.
