Prime Disciple Competition: Calming

'Shit!' Zian exclaimed, as he hadn't even sensed the woman.

Before he could react, she disappeared, and Zian's instincts screamed danger. He drew his sword and swung to the left, anticipating an attack there.

Clink!

Sword met scythe as Zian was thrown back from the unexpected power behind that blow.

He gracefully landed on his feet only to find that Mira had disappeared. 

'Fuck! Why'd this woman attack me?! We haven't met before, have we?' Zian complained but still spread out his Soul Sense in an attempt to find her, which turned out to be easier than he thought. 

However, Mira was already on top of him, in the midst of swinging her scythe. 

He raised his sword to block, creating a barrier around himself with his Sword Manifestation.

Clink! Clink! Clank!

He barely deflected her attacks as she repeatedly struck his sword, but he was slowly being pushed back.
