Spat

Days Passed, of which during those days Will and Cecily talked about their bond, not that they needed too but they had some physical intimacy that they realized they missed out on..

To the present, Will and Cecily stood apart facing each other at the training grounds, they both decided to spar each other, so she can improve as a fighter and for Will to better handle mages.

"So, darling~ you think you have the guts to hit a woman?"

Cecily's lips curled up into a playful smile as she shifted her posture, eyes narrowed knowing he won't back down from fighting a woman.

"You should know me, honey~ you know what you're getting yourself into, getting hit is to be expected in any battle, sparring or not"

"I can take you anytime"

'That's my girl'

After a bout of playful banter, Will adjusted his posture as he observed Cecily's form. Minutes passed in silence until, pat! The sound of a fallen leaf echoed loudly across the silent training grounds.

Two blurs, with one noticeably faster than the other collided causing shockwaves to blast outwards, picking up debris and dust.

The slower blur smashed into a nearby building, springing up as soon as contact was made. In a brief moment of silence to blood red gusts of wind blasted from the slower blur, Cecily, in the direction of the faster blur, Will.

The sound of the soundbarrier breaking was heard as Will appeared ten meters from the gusts of red wind as craters were eroded into where he once stood.

'My strongest attack can hardly keep up to him, is this the power of Qi? At this level, my ace will be the only thing that works, it's only meant for life and death situations..'

'I told her father! A tigress! That was below my waist!'

Cecily with her eyes widening, thinking, jumped back behind an artificial mountain as she started chanting and combining handsigns as Will pulled out a talisman. A rare practice with the incompatibility with mana, but common for Qi users. Tossing the talisman into the air, a single handsign later and the talisman streaked with blinding light towards the artificial mountain, only to be blocked by a wall of shadow emanating red mist as it swirled and caved into the direction of the artificial mountain only to fling the talisman back towards Will.

"Shit, the power doubled!"

Face paling, Will dodged his reflected attack moving to the side subtly and dodging the beam of energy from his talisman that was doubled.

'Cecily...This again, she really can't stand being surpassed by me! I couldn't see it clearly before'

Waves of power flooded the area as the earth slowly caved into itself, looking closely Cecily could be seen, her hair floating as if gravity didn't exist, her skin sparkling like white jade as it reflected the lights from the surroundings.

Blood red eyes, emanating a red mist turned to Will's direction, as a cute but frightening smile appeared on Cecily's face.

"My trump card, I don't think you've seen it clearly before? How do I look?"

"Beautiful-"

Cut off by a jade fist colliding with his face, Will dodged stunned he didn't see her approach.

'This is training! Just because you can't beat me doesn't mean you use your trump card!!'

"You're crazy!"

"You're a man right? Stop complaining!"

As the spar, now fight apparently continued, a throat clearing in the distance stopped them.

"You kids are interrupting my rest, damn it"
