"Oh! So your the new guy I heard the others talk about?" Taiyo said.
"Yes, Yes, but I've got a question for you." Apollo said as he relaxed his gaze on Taiyo.
"Have you seen any suspicious activity around here? Like a big red explosion or the corpse of a burned man?" Apollo said as he stares even more intensely.
'Shoot!' Taiyo thought.
"What? Nah man, I haven't!" Taiyo said with a confused face and waving his hand in the air.
'This man is lying to me.' Apollo thought in that very second.
"So it was you? wasn't it?" Apollo said, "It was you who killed that assassin we placed around this area to kill anyone he sees?"
'Shoot!'
"Huh? ohhh, that, I did it out of self-defense. You see, just 2 days ago, the same day that man was killed by me, I had just woke up from a 3 month coma, and things were kind of fuzzy and stuff so I killed him by accident." Taiyo said rubbing the back of his head.
'Please believe me.'
'He's not lying this time.'
"Oh? Ok, I understand, but I was ordered to find the man who killed the assassin and kill the man as well." Apollo said looking down
'Shoot.'
'I'm just lying of course, I actually just want to fight him and see how strong he truly is.'
Apollo looks at Taiyo.
That same second, Taiyo gets sent flying through the forest and into the air.
Apollo pulls out his sword and dashes towards Taiyo.
Taiyo goes crashing back down.
Taiyo had blocked Apollo in just a mere fraction of a second.
Taiyo stops himself from sliding.
"Light style."
Apollo dashes towards Taiyo.
"First Form: Crashing Light."
Apollo's sword clashes with Taiyo again.
Taiyo struggles keeping Apollo at bay.
"Cursed Flame Style, First Form: Soaring Flames."
Taiyo send Apollo in the air with a uproar of flames that burns him a bit.
Apollo lands in front of Taiyo.
"Quite the interesting sword you have there!" Apollo said as he gets into fighting stance. "I'm going to start calling my sword styles without the proper honorifics, try to keep up!"
*This could mean trouble... I kinda don't want you to die, so, I'll give you access to 3 more forms and I'll let you say it without honorifics, but this might cause a little strain, nothing too serious, it will still hurt though.*
Apollo dashes faster than Taiyo can blink and slashes his hand, wrist, and forearm off.
Taiyo just barely managed to block him.
Taiyo's sword gets stuck in the dirt and Apollo's back rips and bleeds out.
"How-" Apollo said as he reaches over to his back.
Taiyo heals back his arm and hand and grabs his sword.
He get into position and says "I'm not so easy to kill."
