*Clang**Clang*
"Not good enough. Are you even trying you dumbass?"
"Tch, then how about this!"
*Clang**Cling**Clang**Cling*
"Oh, you are picking the pace now. Keep going."
Currently at a clearing in the forest near the black bulls' HQ, Yami and Sekke we're having their occasional sword fight training.
"Haah!" cried Sekke as he found an opening and tried to attack Yami.
But Yami immediately used his katana to block Sekke's strike and got pushed back because of the force.
Both of them looked at each other with serious looks on their face as Sekke pointed his sword at Yami and said, "Today is the day that I will beat you!"
Yami rested his sword on his shoulder and said, "We will see." and then dashed towards Sekke intending to attack.
Sekke who saw his captain going on the offensive immediately parried the incoming attack.
But the attack didn't stop at that Yami immediately changed his sword's direction as he noticed Sekke trying to attack him.
*Clank*
Blocking the incoming attack both Sekke and Yami went to a standstill as Sekke tried to push through.
But Yami being the physically stronger of the two pushed Sekke back and broke Sekke's balance.
Sekke who stumbled a step back noticed the incoming katana and immediately used the flat part of his sword to redirect the attack away from him.
Seeing that Yami smirked as he noticed Sekke's dead-set eyes on him.
Sekke who was successful in redirecting the attack immediately regained his balance and glanced at Yami who now gave him an opening.
Not wasting even a second Sekke's sword cit through the air in an upward slash.
Yami who noticed the incoming slash slowly took a step back to avoid it, only to immediately widen his eyes in shock as he saw Sekke take a step forward as well and change his attack's direction from a vertical upward slash to a horizontal slash aimed towards his chest.
"Parry this you filthy casual!!" yelled Sekke.
"Oi! Do you want to kill me!" yelled Yami back as he bent his body backward avoiding the sword which was still able to cut some of his hair.
"Stop dodging you bastard! Take it like a man!" yelled Sekke as he saw Yami avoid his attack by such a small margin.
He then swept Yami's leg with his own, making his bent body fall on the ground, and tried to attack him once again, only for Yami to block his attack with his katana.
Yami then immediately kicked Sekke away gaining some distance from him and got back on his feet.
Sekke who had his gut kicked by Yami coughed and glared at Yami who just wiped some sweat off his forehead and said, "Phew, that was close. Oi! Dumbass I will beat the shit out of you!"
"Tch, Even that was not enough. Kirito mode on!!" declared Sekke as he made another sword with his magic and took his stance.
"Huh, it's two against one, that's not fair!"
"Everything is fair for the dark lord!" stated Sekke as he rushed towards Yami.
Yami narrowed his eyes as he saw Sekke rushing towards him.
Being more serious than before Yami put his katana forward and blocked the two swords that were coming towards him.
'Hm? Too light? Shit!!' thought Yami as he noticed the smirk on Sekke's face.
'Caught you!!' thought Sekke as a malicious smirk containing all his frustration appeared on his face.
Sliding his swords over the edge of Yami's katana Sekke redirected his swords away from Yami, only to stop the moment his swords got out of the katana's range and change his attack direction once again.
Yami who saw the incoming attack tried to move his katana to block it, only to find one of Sekke's swords blocking his katana's path.
'...Shit' thought Yami as he got hit by the blunt sword which contained all of Sekke's brute strength.
"HELL YEAH!!! TAKE THAT, YOU BASTARD!! THE DARK LORD FINALLY WINS!!" yelled Sekke as he did guts pose with an excited smile on his face.
He then looked at Yami who had his mana skin on and said, "You used your mana skin so you lose!!"
Yami looked at Sekke with an annoyed expression on his face and said, "You were just lucky this time you dumbass. But still.....good job." and clapped his hands.
Seeing Yami clap his hand with a helpless expression on his face Sekke's smile widened as he felt that all the time he spent practicing his sword was worth it.
"Hm, let me reward you for successfully....luckily defeating me this time," said Yami as he picked up his katana.
Hearing that Sekke looked towards Yami and noticed his grimoire started flipping.
"Focus on my sword," said Yami as he held his sword tightly.
Without even questioning his Sekke focused on Yami's katana and noticed his dark magic gathering on the katana.
[Dark Magic: Dark cloaked Lightless Slash!]
Calling out the name of his magic Yami fired a dark magic slash towards the sky.
"....Looks like I don't need to tell you what to do with that, right?" asked Yami as he glanced at Sekke who was already into deep thinking.
"...Yeah, I guess so....cloaking magic, huh...." muttered Sekke as he took out his debuff magic grimoire.
Yami looked at Sekke for a while and then lit up a cigarette and thought, 'He is going to be more annoying to deal with now.' and then walked back to the HQ leaving an excited Sekke behind.
--------------------
Meanwhile, somewhere in a world filled with total darkness, a sudden flickering of light appeared as a deep voice echoed there.
"...Looks like I got a new host...."
But as soon as those words came out the light started dimming down and soon disappeared leaving the world in darkness once again.
