"It's too bad, but you won't have your teacher to protect you this time!"
Crowing, Rei slashed at me with his katana, and I was forced to draw both Gan Jiang and Mo Ye, I mea Hei Yue and Bai Ri to parry them. Yeah, I'm sorry for still not being able to get the names of my swords right. Force of habit. I spent too much time pretending to be Archer (basically Kanshou and Bakuya were the Japanese names for Gan Jiang and Mo Ye) that I totally forgot the real names of my swords.
Oh, well.
Rei didn't hesitate, and continued to swing his katana from what he thought was an unexpected angle, teasing out an opening from me and darting his katana through an apparent gap in my defenses. I reversed the grip on Hei Yue and caught his curved blade with mine, causing sparks to fly between us as silver metal screeched against black steel.
