Men Problems

"I think you're underestimating me a little too much!" Joanos could no longer take Mika's comments about his masculinity.

"Oh, really...?" Mika was enjoying the way Joanos' cheeks puffed up and eyes watered. Shaking her head, Mika felt herself turning into a sadist the longer she stayed around Joanos.

"Yes, really! Do you want me to show you? Let's go to the sparring grounds right now!" Joanos stood from his seat and stomped towards the door. Wyn has never seen his young master get so agitated from a little girl's teasing.

"Young master Joanos, that's fine with me. Just to let you know though I'm young and my gifts haven't developed yet I can already beat my personal guard in a sparring match. Isn't that right Kaze?"

Mika turned towards Kaze, who was minding his own business, for an agreement to her words.

"Yes, Miss Mikaela." Kaze didn't even look at Joanos when he replied to Mika.

Kaze vowed to find a way to wipe this stain from his life. Just you wait for Miss Mikaela, payback will come soon enough for you. Kaze tried to transfer this promise to Mika through his sharp stare.

*Tsk*

Joanos gave a once over to Kaze, he thought this man looked formidable but if even a twelve-year-old can beat him how strong could he actually be?

Joanos shook his head as he gave Kaze one last look before giving Mika some words of advice.

"You should change guards, I don't know why you would keep a guard who can't even protect you..."

"Well, he has his use..." Mika was enjoying Kaze face turning darker and darker from Mika's and Joanos' the conversation.

Kaze was slowly losing his patience from these two talking about him as if he wasn't even there.

Oh!..he's about to blow his top in 3...2...1, Mika thought as she watched the Kaze's veins pulsating out of his forehead.

"Fine! Let's spar. We will see how strong the young master is!" Kaze walked up to Joanos' face, cracking his neck before exiting the door with everyone following behind.

At the sparring grounds, Kaze and Joanos stood barefooted and free of their outer coats faced each other.

Wyn stood in as a referee, Mika and Saavi sat on the side as spectators.

"Gentlemen, when are you going to start?" Mika having gone to the restroom, satisfying one of her demands while the other, her stomach, was still turmoil for its lack of food.

Kaze threw Mika an indignant glare her way. He wouldn't be in this predicament if it weren't for Mika instigating the whole fiasco.

"I'm ready when this guy is..." Joanos was pumped up, ready for Mika to eat her words. He can imagine the girl's face as he beat her guard to submission.

She could beat him, but he couldn't...hmph, Joanos faced Kaze in an offensive stance.

Discerning Joanos' fighting stance, Kaze put his full attention on the match.

Seeing Kaze and young master were going through with the match. Wyn, whistled signaling the start of the first round.

Joanos attacked the second the whistle rang, throwing a fierce punch towards Kaze's face. Kaze block with one arm to the side of his face as his other arm reached out to throw a punch of his own to Joanos' lower ribs.

Seeing his attack fail and Kaze counter attack coming his way, Joanos tried to insert space between himself and Kaze.

Kaze swiftly changed his attack to send out a kick towards Joanos' thigh. Losing balance and confused by Kaze rapid change of moves, Joanos wasn't able to adjust in time. His body fell towards his struck leg leaving his whole body open for Kaze attacks.

Taking full advantage of Joanos' blunder, Kaze rained Joanos with left and right combo punches to his body.

Wyn, seeing his young master getting beaten so badly called a stop to the first round.

Kaze stopped immediately, walking a few steps away before turning to face Joanos again.

Wyn, ran over to check over Joanos' injuries.

"Young master, are you alright!?" Joanos was sitting on the hard dirt ground, berating himself for underestimating his opponent.

"I'm fine. Let's go again."

Cleaning away the blood trickling down from his nose, Joanos stood once again and faced Kaze. This time his eyes held an underline weariness and determination.

"Yes, young master." Stepping back, Wyn conceded.

Going back to his place he peeked a glance in Miss Mikaela direction. Wyn realized she wasn't even paying attention to the match. Her maid was representing snacks wrapped in a napkin for her to eat.

Sensing someone staring at her, Mika looks towards that area to see Joanos' steward staring at her.

Thinking he might be hungry she motion for Saavi to give him one of the snacks she wasn't going to eat.

Snack in hand, Wyn felt his young master was no match for this young miss. His young master was putting his all into fighting and was already bleeding, yet this young miss was enjoying her snacks!

Wyn couldn't let his young master see such a sight. Nodding his head in thanks to Miss Mikaela, Wyn positioned his body to block young master's sight of young miss Mikaela.

Blowing the whistle for the second time, Wyn started the second round.
