Chapter 10

CH-10

[3 weeks later, I have defeated all knights and go to Arthur]

Felix: "Can we fight"

Arthur: "Okay? But don't say it like that, it sounds weird"

Felix: "Can be, battle now"

Arthur: "Call it spar"

[Felix and Arthur head to a personal sparring ground]

Felix: "Is this your own private ground"

Arthur: "Yeah and now you charge at me"

[Felix charges and Arthur keeps parrying him]

Arthur: "Looks like Gale is training you in a unique way"

Felix: "Unique is an understatement"

Arthur: "Not even a prodigy with Gale's training can fight in this style, it is from mostly experience, so who are you, I don't mean to invade or disturb your well-kept secret but I need to know"

Felix: "I will tell it after I defeat you"

Arthur: "So you think that when you are at a level you can defeat me, you can tell me and if your secret threatens me you can escape"

Felix: "Kinda and also I don't want you to lose your interest"

Arthur: "Cunning but honest"

[Felix is using fire now but it still isn't enough and he starts to focus more on the speed and number of attacks]

Arthur: "You can adapt very quickly, which proves that you are experienced"

[Felix does not respond but is focused on wind magic and agility]

Felix: Speed is definitely the solution for now fire in my right elbow for power and my left hand to aim and infuse mana into my sword and both at maximum

[Felix's stab is as fast as a swift hawk's hunting speed and Arthur can't parry it and blocks the stabbing move Arthur's sword breaks while blocking and is surprised and the spar stops]

Arthur: "Woah, what do you call that move"

Felix: "Don't know, how about fire stab"

Arthur: "You need to work on that"

Felix: "But you're weird"

Arthur: "Says the mysterious epic level knight"

Felix: "So now what"

Arthur: "I'll get a better sword and this time I'll attack"

Felix: "I feel Deja-vu now"

Arthur: "That's because of Gale"

[Now Arthur is attacking and Felix is barely able to dodge and gets a few cuts and bruises]

Arthur: "Your defense is horrible"

Felix: "It was attacked or run for me usually"

Arthur: "Now you should try using that wind magic in a similar way to the fire stab but with finer control, that means wind should come within the range of a coin and counterbalancing to stop  and change midway"

Felix: "That will take me a month and I can't use you as a training partner for that long"

[Arthur stops and gets a bag of thin swords]

Arthur: "These are a type of sword used against titan snakes to get in between their scales"

Felix: "I know that you are going to cleverly use it to train me, but these swords are not meant for slashing or cutting"

Arthur: "Do whatever Master Gale told you"

Felix: "Again"

Arthur: 1 month is impossible for everybody except Leo

[Felix starts first to control where wind comes from and gets thrown around but by the end of the day he can release wind magic from 2 opposite positions in his body]

Felix: "My father's soul is almost merged with mine"

[The next day Felix starts to learn how to time and is able to move and stop, and it takes 5 days to learn it]

Felix: "This is awesome"

[Felix takes a sword and tries to cut the wood but the sword breaks against the log]

Felix: "This isn't enough"

[Felix speeds up and does it a couple of times and they break all the time]

Felix: This is too tough, how can I even possibly do this

[Felix suddenly starts to understand his father's style and tears well up in his eyes and he falls to the ground]

Felix: "Such a beautiful and graceful technique, Father I have inherited your power"

[Felix stands up and boldly starts slashing at the log at his fastest speed possible and starts cutting it into a rough ball]

Felix: I still need to develop the capacity to use my father's techniques

[3 weeks later]

Felix: This is the last word and my last chance to perfection

[Felix throws a wooden block in the air and before it falls down cuts it into a smooth ball]

Felix: Yes

[Arthur comes in clapping and says]

Arthur: "I was shocked when I saw you 3 weeks ago, you used Leo's style and I always knew that old man's favorite was Leo"

Felix: "You were close to my father"

Arthur: "Fellow disciple and he wouldn't train me as much as you"

Felix: "Are you serious?"

Arthur: "Yes"

Felix: "Now can we spar"

  Epilogue

[Arthur and Felix fight for 2 hours and the fight ends]

Arthur: "15 years of training and I lose to Leo's son"
