/ Clang! Clang!/
" What are you doing!?"
Prince Adam yelled out a question, but I had no reason to answer it. He was wondering why our sword clashes were starting to make less and less noise as they clashed. I wasn't about to tell him that it was because I could see everything he was doing.
" Well... TAKE THIS!"
/ THUMP! SHING! CLANG!/
" Damn it!"
" You need to try harder than that!"
I was able to block a weird attack that Prince Adam tried to use. He stepped back and made a movement like it was a draw and re-sheath technique, but it looked like his form was off? I was able to guard against it pretty easily. Having said that, it still was difficult to get my hands on him to land a blow. It's like that speed increase is also affecting his reflexes or instincts... Actually, knowing my luck when it comes to fighting. Either way, it's making it more difficult to land a graze let alone a slash against him... I need something to make me hit him faster without using Holy Mana Body... Not using magic really makes things a lot more difficult for me. Let alone the fact that Angel's Swordsmanship is constantly aiming for attacks that would cripple Prince Adam. I probably would be able to graze him if I didn't have to focus on shifting my sword away from actually hurting him, I mean, this is a sparring match after all... I don't want to hurt him that badly... Just a small amount for how annoying he's been.
/ Clang! Clang! Clang!/
" Why don't you try doing something other than blocking! Eh!?"
" Maybe I will in a bit, you need to do a bit better if you actually want to land a blow on me though, Prince Adam."
" Don't talk down to me, Human!"
/ CLang! CLAng!/
Seems the Prince has gotten angrier, I can use that though. His attacks are already looking sloppier than when he started attacking me. I position my arms to counter swing when he lifts his sword from mine. He does like I thought, and I swung my sword like I wanted to, but...
/ ThumP!"
" You're not going to catch me with something so easy to see, Human!"
Despite how well timed the attack was, Prince Adam was still able to dodge it. He simply jumped back and was able to flee from any real danger of a strike. I still need to find a good way to hit him. Something inside of my mind is telling me it's possible... It kind of feels like Angel's Swordsmanship's influence... But it's somewhat different? I had a similar feeling when it came to Parrying and this new Skill I gained that made it easier to follow Prince Adam's movement... I remember Warrick, Aqua and Crest saying that our Jobs influence us in strange ways, but does that also mean they influence us so we can unlock new Skills and abilities as well? I'll need to ask after I finish up here with Prince Adam.
/ Thump! ClanG!/
" I'm getting really tired of you not taking me seriously! Get your act together!'
I blocked another attack by Prince Adam, he came jumping into me while I was thinking about my Jobs and their influence. It was almost bad; he was aiming his sword at my neck that time. What's got him so hot under the collar in the first place? I mean, I get wanting to get a win against me after landing that blow after parrying him, but there's got to be something else? Is it just discrimination because I'm a Human? He's been referring to me as such for a bit now... But there's something else... it's like he's hiding the real reason he's angry? Either way, I need to end this soon, his speed is starting to become a handful even with my ability to track him. But again, I go back to how to hit him?
