CH-10
[3 weeks later, I have defeated all knights and go to Arthur]
Felix: "Can we fight"
Arthur: "Okay? But don't say it like that, it sounds weird"
Felix: "Can be, battle now"
Arthur: "Call it spar"
[Felix and Arthur head to a personal sparring ground]
Felix: "Is this your own private ground"
Arthur: "Yeah and now you charge at me"
[Felix charges and Arthur keeps parrying him]
Arthur: "Looks like Gale is training you in a unique way"
Felix: "Unique is an understatement"
Arthur: "Not even a prodigy with Gale's training can fight in this style, it is from mostly experience, so who are you, I don't mean to invade or disturb your well-kept secret but I need to know"
Felix: "I will tell it after I defeat you"
Arthur: "So you think that when you are at a level you can defeat me, you can tell me and if your secret threatens me you can escape"
Felix: "Kinda and also I don't want you to lose your interest"
Arthur: "Cunning but honest"
[Felix is using fire now but it still isn't enough and he starts to focus more on the speed and number of attacks]
Arthur: "You can adapt very quickly, which proves that you are experienced"
[Felix does not respond but is focused on wind magic and agility]
Felix: Speed is definitely the solution for now fire in my right elbow for power and my left hand to aim and infuse mana into my sword and both at maximum
[Felix's stab is as fast as a swift hawk's hunting speed and Arthur can't parry it and blocks the stabbing move Arthur's sword breaks while blocking and is surprised and the spar stops]
Arthur: "Woah, what do you call that move"
Felix: "Don't know, how about fire stab"
Arthur: "You need to work on that"
Felix: "But you're weird"
Arthur: "Says the mysterious epic level knight"
Felix: "So now what"
Arthur: "I'll get a better sword and this time I'll attack"
Felix: "I feel Deja-vu now"
Arthur: "That's because of Gale"
[Now Arthur is attacking and Felix is barely able to dodge and gets a few cuts and bruises]
Arthur: "Your defense is horrible"
Felix: "It was attacked or run for me usually"
Arthur: "Now you should try using that wind magic in a similar way to the fire stab but with finer control, that means wind should come within the range of a coin and counterbalancing to stop and change midway"
Felix: "That will take me a month and I can't use you as a training partner for that long"
[Arthur stops and gets a bag of thin swords]
Arthur: "These are a type of sword used against titan snakes to get in between their scales"
Felix: "I know that you are going to cleverly use it to train me, but these swords are not meant for slashing or cutting"
Arthur: "Do whatever Master Gale told you"
Felix: "Again"
Arthur: 1 month is impossible for everybody except Leo
[Felix starts first to control where wind comes from and gets thrown around but by the end of the day he can release wind magic from 2 opposite positions in his body]
Felix: "My father's soul is almost merged with mine"
[The next day Felix starts to learn how to time and is able to move and stop, and it takes 5 days to learn it]
Felix: "This is awesome"
[Felix takes a sword and tries to cut the wood but the sword breaks against the log]
Felix: "This isn't enough"
[Felix speeds up and does it a couple of times and they break all the time]
Felix: This is too tough, how can I even possibly do this
[Felix suddenly starts to understand his father's style and tears well up in his eyes and he falls to the ground]
Felix: "Such a beautiful and graceful technique, Father I have inherited your power"
[Felix stands up and boldly starts slashing at the log at his fastest speed possible and starts cutting it into a rough ball]
Felix: I still need to develop the capacity to use my father's techniques
[3 weeks later]
Felix: This is the last word and my last chance to perfection
[Felix throws a wooden block in the air and before it falls down cuts it into a smooth ball]
Felix: Yes
[Arthur comes in clapping and says]
Arthur: "I was shocked when I saw you 3 weeks ago, you used Leo's style and I always knew that old man's favorite was Leo"
Felix: "You were close to my father"
Arthur: "Fellow disciple and he wouldn't train me as much as you"
Felix: "Are you serious?"
Arthur: "Yes"
Felix: "Now can we spar"
Epilogue
[Arthur and Felix fight for 2 hours and the fight ends]
Arthur: "15 years of training and I lose to Leo's son"
