One Attack But With Secretly Another

 Xavier then raced after Pyke, rushing the fastest he could. He then drew his long sword and held it in his right hand. He closed the distance between them in a matter of seconds, he was now right in front of him. Now in front of him Xavier furrowed his brows, pushed his body forward, then applying force to his right foot he lifted his left leg and spun as fast as he could, spinning his blade at the enemy. The strike was almost too fast for Pyke to see, almost.

Pyke then swayed backward," Close but not close enough." He then said in a calm tone, almost too calm.

" Huh?"

 Clang, Xavier's blade had clashed against a formidable strong structure, the likes of which could not be seen. It was an invisible magic barrier, it explained why he had swayed his body backward a moment ahead of Xavier's attack, this was done on purpose to conjure a magic barrier while Xavier was too busy to notice.
