Chapter 55 - Duel

"Now that we've introduced ourselves I believe it's only right that you do so as well. Let's start with the boy with brown hair. What's your name young man?" Morgan said with a cheerful grin.

"Oh, uh, my name's John. There's nothing really interesting about my name. It's short and simple." I said.

Morgan gave me a curious look before moving onto Alice. Once he was finished with Alice he made his way towards Serene. Once she told him her name he walked back and stood in front of us.

"I'm curious to see how strong you people are. Specifically you John, there's something special about you. anyway, care for a little battle John?" Morgan asked.

Morgan removed his blade from his back and let it crash on the ground. A sudden gust of wind blew over our head as I stood there. I let out a sigh and removed my katana from its sheath.

"I could use this moment for training I suppose. I accept your request, as long as we're not fighting to the death." I said.

Morgan nodded and picked up his blade from the ground. From the way he was holding it, it seemed that it weighed nothing to him. Alice and Serene backed off a little to give us some space to fight.

Morgan suddenly vanished before my eyes causing me to look around and find where he went. Morgan suddenly appeared right next to me and tried to strike me with his blade. I quickly rolled out of the way and jumped back to my feet.

When I looked at where I last saw Morgan I realized he was gone again. As I watched my surroundings carefully I heard something break behind me. I turned around and saw Morgan's blade coming right towards me. I didn't have enough time to dodge so I used Genki to try and block the attack. The impact of his blade was so strong is caused to ground below me to lower.

I stumbled back a little leaving myself wide open to an attack. Morgan used this chance and kicked me in the side, sending me deep into the forest. As I bounced off the ground repeatedly, I ended up letting go of Genki.

Once I stopped moving I jumped up to my feet and brushed the dirt off of my clothes. I began looking around for Genki and saw that he was lodged into a tree.

"Can I get a little help here? I don't have any hands to remove myself from this tree." Genki said.

I let out a small laugh before walking over to Genki and removing him from the tree. Once I reclaimed Genki, I could hear footsteps coming towards me.

I turned towards the noise and saw Morgan running at me. I readied my blade for an attack and waited for Morgan to come closer. Morgan once again vanished in front of me making me have to look around.

"That's quite the annoying trick you've got there. With how it looks most people would think you're teleporting around me, but that's not it is it?" I said, closing my eyes.
