Chapter 14 - Sparring

Master Daisuke - Anyways since the punishment has been decided and the problem is solved, let's get back to our training!!

-

Master Asahi - YEAH!! TODAY YOU GUYS ARE GOING TO BE TRAINING WITH REAL SWORDS though they are blunt BUT STILL THEY ARE SWORDS!!

-

Both (Me and Katsuki) - Woahh!! Finally!!

-

Master Haruto - And your sparring partner is going to be Aki-kun..... So be sure to put up a good fight!

-

Master Satsuki - Yeah, show us how much you guys have improved!

-

It may be a spar in our Master's eyes but in our eyes it was a chance to redeem ourselves, we had disappointed our masters by our actions and even if they have forgiven us we still have that guilt inside us... We both looked at each other with determined eyes, even without saying anything we decided that we were going to go all out in this battle.

-

Master Haruto took us to a room where there were loads of weapons that had blunt edges, I took a Katana that fitted my hand perfectly and took a short sword just like the time I fought the skeleton army. Meanwhile Katsuki was planning on not taking any weapons and just fighting with his fists..... Why? You ask... It was because he wanted to use his technique "Exploding Fist"

-

Me - Katsuki take a greatsword, I have a plan (smirk)

-

Katsuki - (smirk) Sure but I will drop the sword as soon as I get close to Aki-Senpai!

-

Me - That's exactly what I want!!

-

I was planning on using a fighting style that I had imagined when I was about to sleep, I don't know if I could pull it off nor do I know whether it even is possible..... But if I succeed I will be able to use all three types of swords at once making my arsenal limitless..... That was enough reason to make me try it.

-

Soon we left the room and joined all the Masters who were standing in front of a small stadium where there was Aki-Senpai waiting for us with his katana, we jumped onto the stadium with our swords ready...

-

Master Daisuke - 3......2.......1...

-

Master Daisuke counted down and we got into position and prepared to unleash our attacks anytime.

-

Master Daisuke - FIGHT!!

-

As soon as Master Daisuke said that both us and Aki-Senpai dashed towards each other, Katsuki was on my right and as soon as he got closer to Aki-Senpai, he immediately let go of his Greatsword and ducked a little and put his fist forward for a punch.

-

At the same time I threw both my katana and my short sword in the air and grabbed the hilt of the great sword with my right hand, I immediately turned a complete 360 and used the momentum to slash towards Aki-Senpai's neck.

-

Aki-Senpai was confused for a second and so were the Master's when they saw me throw my swords in the air, But Aki-Senpai thought that I was also going to go for a punch and used his katana in a defensive position to block the punches.

-

But what I did was completely unorthodox and unexpected, still he is a senior desciple for a reason. He immediately reacted by using his right hand to reduce the damage of the slash, but still it did a lot of damage because of the momentum and also because it was made of metal.

-

Still the attack wasn't over yet..... Just before katsuki's fist connected his hands turned red and right at the moment of Impact there was an explosion as Aki-Senpai was blown away by the force, even then he managed to correct his balance midair and landed on his feet.

-

Master Asahi - WOAH! THAT KID ALREADY LEARNT HIS TECHNIQUE?!?!?

-

Master Haruto - Lower your voice we are right beside you.... Though it is still shocking that he managed to learn a technique from a book which normally takes a minimum of 6 months.

-

<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>

-

But we were still not done yet, I threw my great sword in the air and grabbed my Katana, Aki-Senpai rushed in with extreme speed and with his sword in a stabbing position. He expected me to dodge or atleast move but instead the sword simply passed through me..... With no resistance of flesh or bones.... I had used "Swindle steps"

-

Master Asahi - Even him!!

-

Master Daisuke - I had expected him to learn the "Swindle steps" quickly but even I didn't expect it this quickly.

-

Master Satsuki - Not only is he able to use it, but he is also able to understand when to use it!

-

Master Haruto - We might have given rise to two absolute MONSTERS!!

-

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>

-

Now Aki-Senpai was between me and Katsuki..... The perfect place, immediately katsuki went in for another punch while I went for a dioganal slash... But not just any dioganal slash.....

-

Me (thoughts) - In order to take down a Senior desciple..... I don't need speed..... Nor technique...... Just POWER..... I NEED MORE POWER!!

-

I though with unwavering will just like the time I was fighting the skeletons, I had learnt one thing about "sword ki" after using it..... The thing needed to activate is not just desire but a pure desire with absolutely no hesitation!

-

My sword started to glow with a white light, the master's noticed what my sword had judging by their reactions but that isn't something I need to think about.... I just need to deliver this blow and WIN!

-

I swung my sword with all my power and twisted my whole body to make it even faster, the sword slowly cut through air as it headed towards Aki-Senpai's neck meanwhile Katsuki's "Exploding Fist" was also going towards him...... But every fighter that has fought strong opponents knows one feeling... The feeling when their instincts are shouting towards them to run away, the feeling when all of the hair on your body stands up just to increase the chance of survival even if it is just a little, the feeling when your throat dries up and your stomach chrunes.

-

That's exactly what Aki-Senpai felt as he immediately realized the danger he was going to put himself if he even tried to block the attack, he suddenly forgot that it was a kid he was fighting as he immediately let go of any boundaries that he had put on himself while fighting.

-

He used all his strength and forced each of his muscles to tighten and he jumped away from between us, That put me in a bad spot since my sword was going to hit katsuki and if it had a direct hit it would probably do lethal damage.

-

At that moment I entered flow state and immediately thought about all the possibilities and ways that I could stop Katsuki from getting hit, there was only one.....

-

Me - KATSUKI!! MAKE YOUR EXPLOSION THE STRONGEST YOU CAN!!!

-

Katsuki - HUH WHAT?

-

Me - JUST TRUST ME!!

-

I shouted as he understood that I had a plan, he made the largest explosion he could as it became a large orb of orange destruction, As it exploded Katsuki was blown away but I stood my ground and continued my dioganal slash and cut through the massive explosion.

-

I though that the massive explosion and my "Sword ki" would cancel each other out but the "Sword ki" was too strong it cut the explosion in half as it exploded and this time both me and Aki-senpai were blown away, but master Haruto who had already stopped Katsuki from hitting the wall came in and stopped us.

-

The "Sword ki" slash was still going straight towards the Master's but Master Daisuke just used his two fingers to deflect the slash with no difficulty.
