This guy just asked to spar with me?
Well truth be told, I should've expected it. It was obvious he wanted to start monitoring me.
"Sure".
———————————————————————————————
Azreal ended up being the one who sat out, honestly I'd rather be him, I like watching more than doing but that's besides the point. The girls have already become their spar, ignoring the noise of a hand against a fist for some reason, i readied my stance against Kevin.
Should I try or not? This was the main question on my mind
I could honestly care less for losing, winning is for losers with egos. But considering this is the hero of the prophecy, he probably won't let me go if I pretend to fall.
3.2.1 begin.
He dashed forwards me, aiming for my chest, I reflected the hit and redirected it to the side,I then twisted my body around to do a kick before getting grabbed
This kid has better reflexes than I expected
He attempted throwing me to the side but I rid the momentum and did a spin, landing on my feet
I could feel the teacher's gaze, I should end this battle quickly by losing.
I blocked a sword hit and prayed another one before aiming for his chest while leaving an opening for him to hit my gut, I decided to let this battle end through a battle of speed and leave openings to make myself seem inexperienced.
Kevin's hit ended up hitting first, though he didn't look satisfied, I immediately called out and smiled at him :"good fight! Azreal your next!" As I walked away, I looked to the other side to see saoirze on the floor with Selena laughing on top. Tough life huh?
___________________________________________________________________
Most of the class's profiency with weapons isn't bad, and that apostle of harmony is exetremely good in fighting given that she is one with harmony. There's just one pair that hasn't fought yet.
Mr hong looked to the side:" that blond boy.. he got grouped with those guys from the orphanage. He knew from the principal that those orphanage kids could hold their own in a fight. The blond boy if he remembered correctly, ranked at most 150, there's almost 0 chance for him to win unless he (Kevin) goes easy.
What he saw next however surprised him.
Zaire had fought on equal ground against Kevin and even almost won. Though it was a short duel, it was one where a single mistake costed the loser the loss. But.. the way he had fought reminded him of someone. Though the person wielded a dagger, they also usually adjusted towards the person, just like how Zaire mostly fought by countering and reflecting sword hits. Though Zaire had lost in the end, it was through an opening, given that Kevin could find d-c ranks.. Zaire was around that level too. How did someone like that end up ranked 150? Better yet.. how did someone like that leave such a huge opening during a spar?
Mr hong looked at Zaire before looking away.

An hour later, class had ended. I ended up fighting Serena too though she didn't look too happy. Well given that I lost in only about 10 seconds I don't get it either, why would she not be happy? As I stared at Kevin's sweating figure, he was talking to Azreal who was lieing on the floor exhausted, muttering something about never using a bow again, Kevin looked up, meeting my eyes.
He then walked forwards me.
"… need a towel or something.?"
He frowned
I asked him whether he needed a towel and he frowned
Really.?
Is that what you should react to someone offering you something?
Before I could complain more in my heart.
"You let me win, didn't you?"
.
Well I technically did but I couldn't tell him that could I?
