Nix feinted with an overhand strike before spinning and attacking low. Chiba saw through the move and brushed his blade aside before easily sweeping his legs.
"Trying to use your dreaded 'peni$ slicer' move on me, Apprentice?" Chiba's old ugly face cracked a smile before she helped him to his feet.
"Who gave it that name?" Nix didn't really have to ask, he brushed the sand from his back and grabbed a towel from the weapons table. "How about the Wood Cutter instead?"
Chiba gave him a creepy smile and took off her shirt. Although she was female, Chiba had the concave chest of an old man. "Show me something impressive and I'll change the name."
"Fine." Nix circled the old woman, his blade held up. Focusing, he pushed Gemini flames up the blade, the pulsing flames crackled with heat. "Hope you're ready."
Chiba smirked and mouthed a yawn. "Going to get me a new apprentice if you don't do something amazing."
