unexpected pain caused both daggers to slip from his grasp, including the one he had just recovered.
Robert, instead of wielding his claymore, had foregone it in favor of seizing Tatsuya with his free hand, denying him the chance to create distance and subjecting him to a brutal body slam.
Tatsuya had been so fixated on the weapons that he failed to notice, or perhaps even forgot, that Sir Vincent had merely instructed them to spar without specifying the use of weapons.
His lack of focus had come at a cost, and Tatsuya was now paying the price.
The pain radiating from his back surpassed any blow he could have received from the claymore itself.
And he would soon regret entertaining such thoughts, as Robert closed in on him, expertly wielding the claymore and effortlessly kicking the daggers out of Tatsuya's reach.
