Pak!
His sword flew in the sky and it sticks to the ground. Hanna pointed her sword at him and Lumiel sat at the ground.
"Surrender, it's my win," she said while pointing her sword on his face.
He stood up and bowed to Hanna and said, "Thanks for your guidance!"
Stella clapped her hands in astonishment and was overjoyed with the spectacle she witnessed. Also, his sister Sunny felt dissapointed at her brother. She expected more but to only get dismayed.
"Hey, Rain, you're learning fast! I didn't think that you could cope up with my movements faster than I expected. In a few years of practice, you will be a great Hunter..
You are also welcome to come to our dojo to train anytime to become a kendo practitioner!" she said to then grinned in a bright smile.
"Thank you for the offer! I will come anytime to train," he said to her as he stood up. Bowing his head at her as he said his gratefulness.
"Wow, you know what! Lumiel has potential!" Stella whispered to Patrick.
"He is still lacking techniques but his foundations are far more improved than us," Patrick replied to her.
"Yep, if his father is always here to train him. He will be stronger than his current self. There will come a time when he will surpass his father Douglas," Stella added.
Lumiel then stretched his hands and his next opponent was Stella.
"This time it's a hand to hand combat," Stella said as she stretches her hands making a warm-up exercise.
"You know that I'm not a hand to hand fighter do you?" Lumiel asked Stella with a frowning face. Though Lumiel was laughing inside.
"Hahahahahah! That's right little boy! But don't worry, I will show you some skills, so observe and learn from me," she replied.
"Tehehe!"
She smiled triumphantly as she put her hand to her side.
"So let's begin!" Hanna said.
"Okay!" Lumiel replied.
He folded his hands and made his fighting stance.
"Stella go easy on me okay!" he requested.
Stella nodded in response.
Lumiel made a straight jab then Stella received his hand with a punch to his armpit. She let go and stepped back a little. Lumiel went cautious and he focused more on his opponent. He let out a fierce hook but Stella evaded. She then grabbed his hands and slammed him to the ground.
"Again!" she shouted.
Lumiel stood up and made a punch straight to her face. Even with how fast it was, she avoided it, giving her a chance to punch his face.
"Ouch! That was harsh!" Lumiel held his nose.
They exchanged blows but Lumiel was the only one who was hurt. Lumiel slowly learns how to evade her strikes but still can't land a hit. She adjusts her speed every time Rain copes up and Lumiel gradually learns her style for some time.
Lumiel didn't know that he has an innate talent in learning faster compared to others. Especially when he was focusing, he can learn the styles his opponent has and copy it to his mind.
They noticed that Lumiel was copying her attacks but still the original could counter her moves. She knows it better than Lumiel. So the result was, she won by a great margin of hits. Lumiel was glad that he learned new moves from his friends.
"Oh! You will withstand her in a few minutes! Just look at your face, it swells," Patrick advised him when he saw his face.
"Thanks! But will you go easy on me? I have enough of her punches on my swelling face. Just don't strike me at my face please," Lumiel added.1
"Hahahahaha!" Patrick laughed at him.
"Okay, brother but I'm gonna show you a newly obtained skill of mine, It's called the long lost [Fencing style] of musketeers," Patrick said to him.
He readied his sword and Patrick held the sword weirdly pointing at him. Lumiel slashed but Patrick countered it with trust and thrusted him several times at the body.
He just used [Rapid thrust] with precision. Lumiel could not evade his strikes because of his speed and could only step back. His thrusts were fatal that struck the vitals.
Lumiel felt the pain where he was struck and it was lingering as time went by. It could be life-threatening if this was a real sword on a life and death battle.
His hands were fast and he had good footwork but Rain was slowly adjusting to his speed, copying some of his counters. Lumiel strikes with a thrust but Lumiel parries it and then was followed by a slash. Patrick steps back to evade and he thrusts again to his shoulders.
Lumiel moved his shoulders a bit but it was scraped by him. Lumiel slashed a combination of horizontal followed by two diagonals.
Patrick blocked it all and made several counters but Lumiel evaded it this time. They sparred for some time but still, Lumiel couldn't win.
Patrick was faster but Lumiel was stronger. Though Lumiel can land heavier strikes, he still could not hit him with his current speed. This continued and it shows that Lumiel enjoying his match and was learning. Hanna stopped the fight because she's getting worried about Lumiel's condition.
