  As I deftly dodged each assault from my adversary, my heart rate surged. Over the course of four months, Geralt had been meticulously guiding and mentoring me, employing his vast knowledge to test my boundaries. Beyond being just a sparring partner, Geralt had become my confidant and closest ally. Our bond has remained unyielding over the 16 years we've spent together. And now, at the age of 19, we were both readying ourselves for the ultimate challenge: the Death Dealer's examination. Training sessions with Geralt were consistently gratifying because he approached them with an unwavering fervor and never shied away from giving his all.
