Arriving at the training ground. Raiku looked around as he saw a large field in the middle with a raised platform with four people standing, beside them a rack holding four weapons. To the farther edges were several trees. There were only two entries to this place, from where Raiku came from and the servants section. This was an unused place as no one really came here to train. There weren't much of the royals and they had their own secret places to train anyways.
Suddenly, to the right he noticed Yaris and Nell coming. He didn't think much about it as it was a game who else would he play with, if not Nell?
Arriving at the center on to the platform, the four people kneeled,
"Greetings, Your majesty"
They all said at the same time,
"No need for formalities" he waved his hands saw Yaris and Nell about to follow.
"Now start." Draga said with a dignified voice as his disposition seemed full of authority. He and Mary walked to the side as Yaris followed standing behind them. They watched with a glint of anticipation.
"Well as his Majesty ordered, your highness please grab a weapon. " Samus declared loudly,
Raiku with excitement looked at the four wooden weapons, as Nell waited behind looking curiously.
He grabbed a wooden saber, as Samus called out to him,
"Come stand in front of this dummy"
Raiku stood Infront of the dummy with a distance of less than 1 meter, looking at Samus wondering if he was going to play fight now!
"Now swing"
"?"
"Like this" Samus demonstrated as he swung his great sword. He swung it lightly, but the air seemed to move with him as it blasted lightly to the surrounding areas.
Raiku seeing this his eyes sparkled as he felt the wind blow his silvery hair. He swung his saber though clumsily at the dummy.
"Now slash" Samus said as he demonstrated once again,
The air seemed to be cut as the wind blew even more.
"His showing off a lot" Yaris shaking her head at him.
Raiku seeing he slashed at the dummy, a bit better but not good.
"Now, please change weapons your highness"
"Huh?"
"Just do it Raiku" Draga said,
"Okay" Raiku nodded as he changed weapon wondering what kind of play this is.
He grabbed a sword.
Moving back Samus let him repeat the same movements. Surprisingly Raiku did it smoothly as if it was natural as breathing as he slashed the chest cleanly.
"Oh" One of the men standing behind Samus holding a sword said, while Draga and Mary nodded.
"Change weapon once more please" Samus said,
"Huh uh" Raiku left as he changed to a spear.
He once again repeated the same movements, even though it was better performance than the saber it was not as good as the sword.
"Change weapons"
Raiku repeated this with the great sword then he was told to stand by the side. Confused he walked next to Draga wondering what was going on? What game was this?
Nell repeated the same actions starting with the saber. She did quite poorly in fact.
Nell then tried the sword, A bit better but it was just average.
The men still looked as she changed weapons,
She wielded the greatsword as she did it better than the rest, surprising a few people.
She then wielded the spear as she held it as if it was her own hand. She swung it furiously, then she slashed the dummy head off with pinpoint accuracy.
A gasp sounded out, as everyone was shocked except Raiku. As he didn't know what it meant when a person that just grasped the spear could cut the dummy's head off. The dummy was made of materials that needed a trained amateur to focus on a specific spot and repeatedly hit it.
It was no surprise if Raiku did it, as he was a royal. But Nell was a maid... As she seemed to have a higher affinity with the spear than Raiku's affinity with a sword.
