A Veteran's Lecture

Cling! Clang!

Bang! Bang!

The battle between Arthur and Leonard continued for a few more exchanges before they threw a powerful strike that separated them from each other. And when they landed on the ground, they were sent sliding backwards as they lowered their center of gravity so that they could relieve some force from that last exchange.

The moment they stopped themselves from sliding, they immediately raised their heads to look at their opponents but didn't resume at attacking each other.

"Tsk! Looks like you are idle either since our last sparring match, huh? To think that you are going to have a lot of progress during that short span of time," said Arthur while straightening his back.

Leonard took a deep breath, trying to regulate his breathing before giving his reply. "But that is still not enough to beat you."
