Well sorry this took a while, still, its here

But first let me tell you a story

===========================================================================

The match continued as John from team MAJR swiped the legs of his opponent Alex of team AMBR, John grabbed hid bladed bow poised for one more stile when *buzz* the sound of the buzzer went off, showing how Alex's aura had dropped into the red. "Well done John your close combat skills have greatly improved" Glinda says as she walks out onto the stage, John thanks her but the match had taken a toll on him as well with his aura only just outside of the red.
"Alright student, we have enough time for one or two more matches," Glinda says as she goes through her scroll, the room erupts into noise, some angry that they didn't get to fight and some sigh in relief. "The next match will be Pyrrha Nikos" the room goes silent with only a few mutters of "please not me, please just not me" coming from some of the students "versus Y/N" the enter room let's out a sigh of relief as I stand up to get my stuff.

After getting ready I stand on the stage waiting for Pyrrha, it had been a while since we last trained. Pyrrha said she would help me in combat mainly, we would go to the training grounds and praise with only one sword each, no shield, no spear and no bow for me. The only problem was Pyrrha is a world champion and so I just got my ass handed to me the first few times, I'm better now of course but it's not like I ever won agents her and now she has a spear and a shield. I am so screwed.

Pyrrha gets onto the stage shield in hand and sword tightly griped "don't think I'll go easy on you just because we're technically teammates" Pyrrha say she says transforming her sword into her spear "I never expected you to, although it would be a welcome change" Pyrrha don't even bat an eyelid at my comment, a sign that Pyrrha has gone into the zone. "Are both combatants ready?" Glinda asks, her eyes as she looks at me. Like they're praying for me. I take out my twin blades and ready myself. "Ready?" Glinda says looking across to me, (I nod hesitantly) and then looks to Pyrrha (she also nods) "then, begin!"

The fight begins as the stage lights flash on and the rest of the lights dim plunging everyone into darkness except for me and Pyrrha. We approach each other slowly, this may be the only time I get to come up with a plan. "She has the upper hand in almost every area, she can keep me at a distance with her spear and then switch to a sword for close range combat and all the while keeping up her guard with that shield with she can also do a decent bit of damage with if she wants, so how do I beat her?" I begin to ponder as we reach each other, Pyrrha strikes first thrusting forward with her spear, I bat it away with one blade, "there has to be something I'm missing some weakness or flaw." Pyrrha uses the momentum from when I batted her spear away and continues to spin bringing her spear around to strike me in the side then follows up with her shield, forcing me to back off. 

"Well there no weakness with her sword or spear, so let's see how well she can defend with her shield, but how do I do that?" I spot that Pyrrha has changed back to her sword as she closes the gap between us when she gets within arm's length I strike with unrelenting force, my swords bash against her shield with enough force to cause her to support her shield with both arms. For a second I thought I might have this solved, then Pyrrha pushed back, she forced her shield upward, shoving both my swords up and off to the side leaving me wide open. Pyrrha slammed the thick shield into my gut, I feel the air leave my lungs as my ass hits the floor, but there's no time to wast as Pyrrha strikes looking to finish the job, I roll out of the way narrowly missing the bright red sword of Pyrrha. Now getting back to my feet an idea pops into my mind "she can hit me with anything with her weapons... but can she hit me without them?" stupid brain how am I supposed to disarm Pyrrha. I mean you even know her semblence is polarity, so she can just pollarittly? her stuff back "but she told you she doesn't like to let everyone see her semblence, she only uses it to get a slight edge on her opponent. that is why she is the best" huh well-done brain so if I get her weapons she won't use her semblence to get them back "oh Eyes say watch out for the sword" I narrowly dodge the wide slash of Pyrrha's blade and compose my self. After all, I will probably only get one shot at this.
