"Do you wanna spar?" Katsu asked, holding out a training sword for me to take.
This was new. Katsu was never one for direct confrontations and even when he did he would always use magic.
"This is rare. What's the occasion?" I asked, taking the training sword he offered me.
I noticed that Megumi was behind a tree watching us. Why was she hiding though?
"You said you wanted to train so I thought I should help you. Is that cool with you?" Katsu asked.
How thoughtful. I nodded my head and backed off so we could get some distance between us. Both of us readied our weapons and grinned at each other. This should be fun.
We both ran at each other and collided our weapons. I brought my sword back and swung it again in an attempt to hit his arm but he used wind magic to blow me back.
I staggered for a moment but regained my balance quickly. This wasn't a fair fight. He could use magic but I still couldn't.
Katsu aimed his next attack for my side which I blocked. While our training swords were still clashing, Katsu once again used his wind spell to blow me away.
This time I actually did lose my balance and left myself wide open for Katsu's next attack.
Right as Katsu was about to deal the final blow he stopped and turned his head to the side. The both of us could hear footsteps coming towards us. Who's coming coming towards us?
I jumped to my feet and took a defensive position. Both Katsu and I readied our weapons and stayed on high alert as the footsteps got louder.
"Oh, so it was you two who was making the noise." Akira said.
Both Katsu and I dropped our guards and let out a sigh of relief.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"Well originally I was looking for the three of you but soon switched my focus on the noise I was hearing. Thanks to that I found all three of you." Akira responded.
Katsu looked confused by what Akira had just said. Did he not know Megumi was behind a tree watching us? Given his reaction I guess not.
