Orion had decided to test his swordmanship without any skill or magic before applying Protocol; his new transition had to have an improvement on his physique, no matter how minimal.
The courtyard of the Chronos estate echoed with the sharp crack of wooden blades colliding. The sun hung high, its light spilling across the stone tiles, where Orion and Iris circled one another.
Both wielded wooden swords, stripped of any ornament or magic. Pure technique, pure grit.
Iris' grip was relaxed, almost casual, the tip of her blade dipping slightly as though it weighed nothing. Her posture carried the quiet confidence of a predator who had hunted the same prey countless times.
