''Train me? Why?'' Ichiro was slightly untrustful.
Quella crossed her arms, ''It seems fun.''
''How does training someone seem fun to you?'' Ichiro doesn't understand what is going on in Quella's mind.
''Give me one of the swords.'' Quella suddenly said.
Ichiro narrowed his eyes, ''And if I don't?''
Quella smirked, ''I will beat you up.''
Ichiro snorted and pointed the two swords at her, ''Well, come on th…'' Before he could finish his sentence, he was already sent flying.
''UGH!'' Air left Ichiro's lungs; he flew to a nearby tree, splitting it in half.
Quella was still standing with her hands crossed with an innocent smile on her face; she crouched and grabbed the dropped sword.
Ichiro wiped the blood from his lips and stood up; he was surrounded by broken trees.
His body was aching, but not as much as expected. It obviously meant that Quella went easy on him.
''Damn.'' He looked at his hands and noticed one of the swords missing; he turned his gaze towards Quella and saw her standing innocently while holding a sword.
Sweatdrops started appearing on his forehead, 'Strong!'
''Thanks for giving me the sword.'' Quella smiled and said, ''Do you want to see how much you have yet to learn?''
Ichiro wiped the sweat off his forehead. He put his sword forwards.
Quella put her sword in front of her; with a calm smile, she waited.
[Weakness Detection Eye!]
Blue rims appeared in Ichiro's eyes; he used the Weakness Detection Eye!
But… Ichiro grimaced.
'Zero weak spots… How is that possible?' Ichiro stopped using the Weakness Detection Eye.
''Are you attacking or not?'' Quella asked with a smile, but then she looked with a mocking look at him, ''Or are you afraid of hurting a weak and frail woman like me?''
Ichiro didn't change his expression.
[Calm Nature Activated]
Ichiro was very close to start swearing, but Calm Nature activated at the right time.
'Impressive…' Quella thought with a smile.
Ichiro took a deep breath and started moving with calm steps, his eyes locked in Quella's feet.
Not because he has a foot fetish, instead it is the best way to know when she is going to make her move.
Ichiro will know if she is going to attack if her leg muscles twitch.
But Quella has no intention to attack.
Ichiro noticed that as well; she was only standing and waiting.
'Fine… Let's attack then.' Ichiro took a more firm hold on the sword.
*SWISH*
He slashed with the sword towards Quella's shoulder.
*WOOSH*
But the sword missed by an inch; Ichiro narrowed his eyes, the blade was almost in contact with the shoulder, but it missed only by an inch.
'Did I make a mistake…' Ichiro tried again and slashed with his sword, this time aiming at Quella's delicate-looking arm.
But the sword again brushed past her skin.
