He handed me a wooden katana, he got into a stance and I just stood there confused, what type of training is this?

"Fix yourself into position, I would slice into you by now if that weren't obvious." Mr. Torvac said in an angered tone.

I fixed myself into a stance holding the katana in front of me, trying to look ready; however I never fought with a katana or had any experience with one.

"Let's Get started" I said

"I hope you're worthy."

"Ya!"

I swing at him, I missed, why isn't he fighting back?

"Hey! You gonna fight or what?"

"Are you sure you can handle it? I won't go easy, best to let you swing to get the hang of it."

"I'm really for anything you ha-"

"Wham!"

"Oof... shit that hurt like hell, it's on th-"

"Wham!" "Wham!" "Wham!"

"O-oh god.. damn"

I fall to the ground, the pain is unbearable damn I think he hit me in the gunshot wound, damn not good...

"Hmm, is that all?"

"... it's not over.. yet.." I said.

"You're all talk like the rest of them. It's a shame, I was expecting better." Mr. Torvac said with disappointment.

I can't lose! Not now! The struggle is gonna be hard and harder, I'm gonna get up despite my pain!

"YA!"

"Huh?!"

"Wham!"

"Hmm, interesting."

"Wham!"

"O-ohh... shit-"

"Wham!"

"YA!"

"Wham!" "Wham!" "Wham!" "Wham!" "Wham!"

He's skilled at this, I almost had a hit, the one time his guard was down. I continue to swing at him, but he keeps blocking, a plan is what I need and quickly too!

"Wham!" "Wow, I say I'm impressed with you, I thought you would be like the others however don't get too cocky kid."

"Wow I impressed you, well I'll keep that in mind."

"Wham! "Wham!" "Wham!" "Wham!" "Wham!" "Wham!"

Damn, he's get faster and more powerful the more this goes on, either I need to disarm him or I'm gonna be in a world of pain pretty soon..

"You know, not many have lasted this long, they would always give up mentally but you however... you're a special case, or it may be just luck."

"Yeah, maybe! I'm gonna win! YA!"

"Oh well, there goes your streak."

"Wham!"

"Damn... I didn't"

"Wham!"

"Ah, blocking my weapon are you? Well let's see how long that lasts."

Dammit he's putting more force! I don't have a way out! Wait a minute... he didn't specify any rules so his legs... are in the open! I have a way out now!
