"Do you want to test it out?"
........
Reve turned to face Nikan as soon as he heard that.
He later revealed a smile as he thought, "Hmmm….why not? It would be our last spar anyway!"
"Sure," he revealed his thoughts to Nikan.
For the past month, they had been focused on developing the theoretical aspects of their styles, leaving them with little time to spar.
It would be alright to test the results of their long seclusion. They could not deny the bubbling feeling of excitement that was breeding in them. Their smiles arced well on their faces as they both stood up and faced one another.
As per normal, Reve quickly distanced himself from Nikan. There was no way he would forget that he was a mage, not a battle-brawler.
He took in a deep breath of fresh air and concentrated on the cool sensation he perceived.
His mind resonated, 'Like the fresh wind. Like the winter leaves. Like the chill lake.'
