The hobgoblin quickly got into a battle stance, holding its primary weapon, a thick wooden stick.
"Aw shucks, we can't spar with that." William quickly went to the greenhouse and came back with two wooden swords.
"Use this instead, Goblo." William handed the wooden sword to the confused-looking hobgoblin then went to the other side of the room and was ready for battle. He put the rapier sword back in its sheath and kept it at a corner.
"Gruga ru guga ugar…" The hobgoblin pointed at the wooden sword and looked at William eagerly.
William gestured comically as he spoke, "Youuuu... Fight… Me… understand?"
The hobgoblin stared at William blankly for three seconds before immediately charging at him!
"That's it!" William charged back and crossed his wooden sword with Goblo's.
Clack!
Clack!
Clack!
Wooden swords clashed with each other repeatedly.
Goblo retreated a few meters and scrutinized William.
