There were two reasons why I had put down the bet. One, I didn't want to go to school again. Two, I had an idea as to how I could win.
"Are you ready?" [Vincent]
He readied his sword, its blade gleaming in the light.
"Wait. Can I use skills?" [Solace]
"...Ah. I see. You wanted to buff yourself to handle the blow." [Vincent]
Well the cat was out of the bag. That was indeed my plan.
"So... Is that a no, or...?" [Solace]
"Sure. I don't mind." [Vincent]
("Nice.") [Solace]
With permission to use skills, I checked my status.

It's been a while since I've checked my status, so I was a bit surprised when I saw my stats go up even when the level hasn't.
("Could this be because of |Gentleman's Favor|?") [Solace]
Considering that the skill itself was level three, I wasn't too sure.
("Enough distractions, back to strategizing.") [Solace]
I looked through my skill list, only to be a bit disappointed.
("Is the only defensive buff I have |Reinforce|?") [Solace]
I expected to have so more, but I was wrong. At least the odds were still in my favor.
("Let's get too hasty here. First, I know that Master is going to use a vertical slash.") [Solace]
I thought of crossing my arms above my head to block the attack, but I still wasn't sure if my body could handle the pressure.
("...h. Sotis you have to jump before knowing how far the gap is.") [Solace]
Seeing as how thinking and strategizing wasn't my strong suit, I gave up. I simply decided to be a athead and faced Master.
"Are you ready?" [Vincent]
"Give a second. |Reinforce|!" [Solace]
I shone dimly, leaving a blue hue around my body.
"Now I'm ready." [Solace]
Master nodded. He raised his sword high, which made a bit nervous out of anticipation.
"Be sure to block." [Vincent]
Master took a step forward, then vanished.
("Aw hell naw!") [Solace]
Judging from the amount of manga, ani, and all the above I've read, I knew damn well I was about to get smoked.
("Gotta block!") [Solace]
Raising my arms, a sword then appeared before . Master had co forth, striking my arms with his blade.
"Urgh!" [Solace]
I imdiately dropped to one knee, but I still was in this.
("Crap! I'm gonna lose...!") [Solace]
My arms started to tremble. They felt weak, as if I had just finished doing two hundred pushups within the past thirty minutes.
("No! I can't go down like this!") [Solace]
I thought of my days in school, thinking that anger will boost my morale.
"I... hate... studying...!" [Solace]
"Disciple...?" [Vincent]
Energy surged, and I slowly pushed the blade back.
"Heh...! This test is going to be an easy pass!" [Solace]
That was when I jinxed myself.
"I see. It appears your rage is quite great for studying. However, I have different plans for you." [Vincent]
Master pushed harder, causing to drop to two knees.
"Ayo?!" [Solace]
If this was a video ga, I'd say he was hacking.
"Fall." [Vincent]
The blade slipped through my arms, and struck my forehead.
"Ow." [Solace]
My vision started to blur, as per usual. I knew I was going to pass out, but I managed to utter a few words before I did.
"You... cheating... bastard..." [Solace]
