Krutos who saw the smile on Michael's face misunderstood it for Michael mocking him and got enraged.
Hap!
He pushed back Michael with all his might.
"Whoa! You do have some strength I guess, but let me give you a piece of advice, The swordsmanship I am using is quite strong, use your strongest moves while you still can," He smirked as he 'educated' his opponent.
Krutos gritted his teeth at that. It was the first time he has ever been humiliated like this. Never has anyone treated him the way Michael did, and it shows in the throbbing veins appearing on his forehead and neck.
He had endured countless humiliations as an orphan but none were on his swordsmanship, for him swordsmanship was life, he may endure humiliation on himself but never about his swordsmanship or his training.
He was boiling with anger, the fear he felt a while ago, all but forgotten in his new state of mind. He took a proper sword stance with no small amount of difficulty before starting his uphill battle.
