"So how are we going to do this?" Jace asked as he spun his knife in his hand. Rather than get a response his opponent jumped forward with her sword. She swung at a downward angle. Instead of blocking or fully moving he just leaned to the side and moved to her side. He brought his knife up, but flipped it in his hand.
Before he could attack she managed to dodge backwards. She then went into a stance and walked around him. It gave Jace a chance to think.
A test like this would have rules where he would fail if he broke them. He first needed to figure them out. At the same time he needed to make sure he did not lose the fight. So now he needed to find out a way to win within a set of rules he did not know.
Jace's arm whipped forward on instinct as his opponent dashed toward him with the intent to impale him. His knife grinded against the side of the sword and redirected it away from him, throwing his opponent off balance.
