Sebastian and Max both moved cautiously towards each other, swords in hand.
There were no sudden movements and no reckless attacks as the first exchange of swords was almost powerless.
*Cling*
*Clang*
*Cling*
Both parties parried each other's sword strikes as they did not even use 50% of their full power, both of them waiting for the opponent to make the first mistake.
It was then that Max took the initiative to launch the first attack, as he tried to thrust his sword just as he had done a million times in the training hall before in a movement that came naturally to him now.
Sebastian jumped back after turning his body into an awkward reverse C shape as he dodged Max's thrust and countered by trying to go for Max's throat.
Max ducked and thrusted his sword towards Sebastian once more, who sidestepped it and landed a kick straight at Max's body which knocked Max down flat.
