Suii—
Lucas summoned his bladed spear.
As the weapon appeared in his hand with a flash of bright light, he pointed its bladed head at his opponent, Leo Kurogami.
Slightly bending his knees, he assumed a basic spearman stance.
'A good stance,' Leo thought in his head.
Someone's fighting stance reveals a multitude of insights about them.
It conveys the countless hours that they dedicated to honing their martial art, the harrowing battles they fought on the edge of life and death, and even their true nature and innermost thoughts.
Lucas's current stance was undoubtedly strong, yet there was still a big room for improvement.
Despite never showing it, Leo Kurogami had always harbored a certain level of interest toward Lucas, albeit not for positive reasons.
Leo's curiosity stemmed partly from his own complicated history intertwined with the Morningstar family.
