"I guess this is my loss," Ven said, sitting and looking to the ground.
"Are you alright, Ven?" Kye asked, worried by his heavy breathing. "Is it because of your technique? Why did you use it?"
"I'm alright, don't worry," Ven smiled, catching his breath slowly but surely. "And, yes, even though I didn't need to use it, I wanted to try and use it. I thought I would have won easily if I used it though. I didn't expect Lidi to block my attack like this."
"It was pretty had, to be honest," Lidi said. "I never saw that coming, and it was almost only by luck that I blocked it. You're not the sword prodigy for nothing."
"What?! How do you know?" He asked, shocked of hearing that after so long.
"There is just one family that can control gravity and has white hair and gray eyes, you know? And there's only one sword prodigy. Your siblings got other titles."
"I an," Ven looked away. "I didn't expect to hear that again."
"Why?"
"Well, it's kinda personal, I'm sorry."
"It can't be helped then," Lidi shrugged. She didn't expect anything. They just began to talk to each other today, after all, so it would be stranger if he were to tell her what happened;
"Ven are you a sword prodigy?"
"Do I look like it?" Ven asked, with almost sad eyes.
Almost.
"Yes, you're very strong with a sword. And I'm sure that you're even stronger with your ability," Kye said excitingly with what looked like sparkles in his eyes.
"Thanks," Ven patted his head. "Anyway, I'm good now, so we can continue our spar."
Madison was just in ti when she said to switch roles again.
As always, ten ters was separating them. And this ti, Lidi and Ven rushed at the sa ti.
Kye made a forced smile seeing that. Having to handle both of them at the sa ti would be more than a hassle. So he readied himself and rush toward them too to kill their montum, even if it was just a little.
Lidi, with her greater range, spin her scyther rapidly, making Kye focus solely on defense, while Ven was slowly reaching for the close range. He too then swung his sword repetitively. And to make matter worse, Ven only aid at the opposite of where Lidi was attacking, thus Kye needed to make big moves to protect himself, letting a lot of openings for Ven to exploit.
But strangely enough, Kye didn't look like he was overwheld by those two attacks. No, on the contrary, his eyes were constantly moving to see everything that was happening around him.
He quickly understood that Lidi was spinning her scythe horizontally and not vertically. And Kye decided to exploit that. He ducked down and hit Ven's leg with his own before going behind him and pushing him right into Lidi's weapon.
Everything happened so quickly that Ven didn't even have the ti to react, while Lidi managed to retract her scythe at the last mont. She would have surely greatly wounded Ven if she was a mont late.
Kye didn't stop here. While they were still shocked, he rushed toward them with his sword behind him. Lidi swung her scythe while Ven dodged, but Kye knew that they would have done that.
Lidi seed to do a lot of light attacks that looked pretty strong at first glance, thus making her opponent stop in their tracks so that they could defend. And he also knew that Ven was cautious in situations like this, so he would have surely dodged.
And they did just that.
Since Ven had distanced himself from his friends, Lidi was now alone, and her stance wasn't good to either retract her scythe at a mont's notice or even defend herself. Thus, Kye only had to dodge before bumping into Lidi and pushing his sword toward her heart.
He stopped a few centiters away from her, before rushing toward Ven. It was now a 1vs1.
Lidi was taken aback by what had happened. She didn't expect Kye to defeat an opponent while neither she nor Ven had managed to. But with great field vision, he managed to overco the little experience he had by exploiting his opponents' reactions.
And she was now happy to see the fight that was about to co. Kye was very talented. But it wasn't really with a weapon. No, it was in general. Just yesterday, he managed to reproduce her move and Ven's, thus winning a lot more spar than he would have been able to. Kye was a fast learner, and even though his mastery over swords was still pretty lacking in general, it was just a question of ti before he could surpass even Ven, who was a prodigy in this field.
Kye rushed toward a baffled Ven. But his experience told him that he couldn't let his guard down. One wrong move, one opening, one opportunity was enough for him to lose. And he was sure that Kye wouldn't let an opportunity fly under his hands without exploiting it.
So Ven rushed toward him and swung his sword. But he just did a little move, not a big one, surprising Kye greatly. He didn't expect nor knew that such little movents were possible with a sword.
So he only managed to block his sword narrowly before Ven ducked to aim toward Kye's leg.
His katana wasn't very long, so only the tip touched Kye's leg. But it was enough to injure him.
Kye took a few steps back because of that, but Ven didn't let him regenerate. He had seen first handly how Kye's regenerative ability was incredible and efficient, so he couldn't let Kye the ti for that.
Kye on the contrary was destabilized. He didn't expect to be so much hurt by a small scratch, but it was very real. He could feel his body trying to regenerate, but it would take so ti. Ti that he didn't have because Ven was in front of him, ready to swing again.
And the mont he swung, Ven let go of his weapon and punched Kye who was shocked by that.
"Argh," Kye whined in pain and fell to the ground before feeling Ven's sword upon him.
"I'm sorry Kye, I didn't an to hurt you," Ven imdiately went to see if Kye was alright. The latter was holding his stomach because of the pain he felt. Kye's punch was far stronger than he had expected.
"It's okay," Kye smiled after Lidi ca over too to see his injuries. And seeing his leg already heal baffled her greatly, but she didn't have the ti to ask anything. "I'm already happy enough to fight against you two. I got a lot of experience through this fight."
"Yeah, you seriously surprised . You exploited every opening we left, and you were pretty damn cool," Ven said excitingly once he saw Kye letting go of his stomach.
"I didn't expect that to be honest," Lidi said. "You have little to no battle experience, but your field of view is great. So great that you seem to know exactly what happened during a fight."
"What do you an?" Kye asked, not understanding.
"I'm saying that you're great. Your eyes too are great. They seem to allow you to see the movents of your opponent very clearly. You even managed to stop my scythe spinning whereas your back was facing . And we all know how it's hard to fight well when two enemies continuously push you to a corner. And yet, you exploited the fact that I spun my scythe horizontally to duck and push Ven inside my attack range."
"That's true. It seriously baffled . I didn't expect you to use our own attacks against us," Ven added. "It was a great tactic."
