Sparring

Jay was holding the saber with both hands, pointing it at Ragna's neck.

He stomped the ground and took a big leap toward Ragna.

'He is fast,' Ragna thought while holding his shield tight.

Jay lowered his stance to get all the strength he had before striking the shield from below, planning to launch it into the ceiling and end the spar right away.

As if noticing his movement, Ragna skillfully tilted his shield and let the blade hit the tip of the shield. 

"!!!" Jay was taken aback. Ragna's shield positioning caused him to be unable to knock the shield up. In fact, he was forced to let the sword slide on the shield's surface if he didn't want to lose his balance. 

In addition, Ragna took a step forward, slamming the shield at Jay.

Jay felt the impact, but once again, he realized that, despite such a great technique, Ragna didn't have the strength to actually push him back.
