Your POV
The time is now where there is no running away from this exam. We are now facing Gaval Walston, a trained and professional knight who is now an examiner for this exam. I draw out my sword while waiting for a strategy with Marferd and Ishei. Now, who's going to lead as a part of the group?
Marferd: Y/n, any ideas that you want to try out?
"Let me think..." I replied. I start to think through what role that each of us can do. Marferd is an average novice swordfighter who can use balanced play with physical and elemental skills. The elements that he has are fire, water, and electricity. Well, that's a classic Landsknecht to me. Ishei has her strong blade proficiency with slash attacks. Having her samurai skills means that she has to charge up her stance that costs only one turn. "Marferd, cover me."
Marferd: Got it.
Y/n: Ishei, you charge up your stance. And then, find an opening to strike. That's your way as what samurai stances can do, right?
Ishei: Oh right! Let me try it!
Y/n: Ok, now we can-!
"Look out!" Marferd pushes me aside. I fell and watch him having his sword being clashed by Gaval's vertical slash.
"Why you...!" Ishei charges forward with her katana holding up with no charged stance. Gaval kicks Marferd by the side of his waist as Gaval knocks him aside. She slashes diagonally and back horizontally, which Gaval already blocks each of them. She raises her katana, blocking Gaval's punishing strike. I'm standing up while Ishei tried attacking him but easily been blocked. I call on her to follow the plan. Gaval swings horizontal slash, but then Ishei dodges, moving back and sheaths her katana for a drawing stance. She's charging up, so I have to distract his attention before he could block her fatal attack.
I rise, having my sword holding horizontal right while charging my blade glowing blue. "Falcon Cleave!" I dash fast before him. Gaval snaps with a quick reflex that his sword holds in a window blade, blocking my horizontal slash. I plan on conserving my stamina and tension while I tried attacking him relentlessly without using my skills. Gaval moves to his right as he dodges my vertical swing. I went on guarding, blocking his punishing slash with a horizontal swing. I grind the blade over to the right while trying to pull his attention and memory away from Ishei. I continued attacking with more damage. I go for a smashing vertical blade down to his head. He blocks it quickly but having a small budge after a heavy impact.
"Marferd!" I call on Marferd's assistance.
"Alright!" He responds after he got up. He has his sword glowing blue with the fastest speed towards his back.
"Tch," Gaval slashes my sword while I suddenly move and got in Marferd's way.
"What!?" Marferd exclaims while he stops his attack quickly. My body crashes him to the ground. Ishei rushes in too late as she draws out her katana a bit too late right after Gaval managed to slash it back.
"What!?" Ishei's samurai skill is faster enough to hit him, so how can he be still moving after a slight budge of my vertical smash? "But how can you...?!"
"Not bad, for a kid." Gaval dashes forward with a rising sword swing from below. She cannot move but to guard his slash attack. The impact pushes her away but then launches her in midair. Gaval moves up with an up-holding blade until an overhead slash towards her head.
"No, you don't, Falcon Cleave...!" I rush towards his back while slashing horizontally.
"Nani!?" Gaval can't move while he's attacking. I slashed his back while Ishei managed to retreat after stepping to the ground.
