Fenris kept dodging the wind slashes that Buck was generating from his hands. Honestly, there seemed no end to them. Some hit Fenris but little to no damage to him. "How are you holding up Fenris?" Buck asked, "I'm going to stop going easy on you now!"
"Wait, you were going easy on me?" Fenris asked in disbelief. Fenris wasn't tired yet, great stamina was another perk to being a werewolf. He could do the training all day but to hear that Buck was going easy on him was a shock
"Sure I was" Buck replied "I'm going to count to three then I'll start one, two... " Buck then began to swing his arms not like before, this time his arms were in a blur almost forming after images. This time the wind slashes come at buck rapidly with no end.
"Crap crap," Fenris said as he tried his best to run away from the attacks. When the wind attacks hit the wall there were loud bangs hard with small cracks showing up on the wall.
"You want to go all out huh? Fine, it's not like I was using all that I had before" Changing the forming of his legs Fenris got on all fours and started running around the room. He was faster in this form, the wind attacks kept coming at him from every angle.
He evaded as best as he could leaping great distances to avoid the wind slashes coming from Buck. "Good, Fenris buddy", Buck said with a grin in his voice. "Now you're starting to take this seriously".
"I was never not taking this seriously!", Fenris yelled. Then suddenly Buck stopped swinging his arms and in doing so the wind slashes stopped as well. Fenris noticed this and stopped in his tracks.
He was still on all fours, he was ready to run at any moment. Buck started to breathe heavily. 'Is he tired', Fenris thought. 'I'm guessing those wind attacks have some sort of limit or some strain on his body. Whatever it is I'm not going to wait for him to recover.
Fenris leaped from his position to Bucks. Buck had his head down, and his hands were moving up and down. It didn't seem exhausted exactly more like he was done carrying something heavy and was taking a breather.
Fenris was a few inches away from Buck when he regained his composure. His eyes glowed yellow, his fangs and claws were out. It was like a predator was in the middle of catching his prey.
Buck smiled at Fenris. "Sorry friend, but I'm not that easy", Buck said. He caught Fenris by the neck of his shirt and slammed him on the ground. There was a cracking noise from the floor and from Fenris's back.
He coughed out blood which landed back on his face. 'His stronger too?', Fenris thought. 'I could deal with him just being faster, but Buck Being stronger than me?'
'What did he do to get such a power boost'. Fenris quickly got up from the floor. His broken back healed quickly with no surprise. "So ready to admit defeat or shall I continue just kicking your ass?", Buck asked with a huge grin on his face. "Both options are fine with me".
"You've always been annoying. But you've become quite a cocky brat", Fenris said. "Cocky you say?", Buck asked. "I'm just being confident, nothing wrong with that".
'Should I just give up', Fenris thought. 'He was faster and stronger than me. Plus with those wind strikes, he can attack from a distance, SInce this entire thing started I haven't even landed a hit on him'.
Fenris for a second considered giving up, but seeing Buck grin rubbed him the wrong way. 'Stop it. If this was a hunter in front of you, would you just give up?'
'You always found a way to defeat them because you were desperate to survive, and you can do the same with Buck.'.
Fenris kept thinking to himself what would be the best form of attack that would work on Buck. He did so for a few minutes just standing on his two legs now. Then it suddenly hit him maybe he didn't have to do anything.
"Hey, Fenris aren't you going to attack?", Buck asked. "Aren't you?", Fenris asked back. "I don't see you throwing those wind attacks. What's wrong, can't you keep making them?"
Buck said nothing. "I'm right, aren't I? You can't keep generating those attacks, so that means there's a limit. I'm right here, if you want me then come and get me", Fenris declared.
"Suit yourself", Buck said. In a moment he was right in front of Fenris. "What?!", Fenris exclaimed. He didn't have them to think, because Buck attacked him with one of his claws.
Fenris barely managed to dodge. He had jumped back a little. Buck's claws manage to scrape Fenris's chest. Blood dripped from Fenris's chest, he was healing but slowly.
Claws and Fang attacks from other werewolves seemed to heal slower than other injuries. Fenris didn't know why, it just did. Buck dashed at Fenris an attack with his claws.
He didn't use his wind strikes at Fenris, he just kept swiping his claws at Fenris from every direction. Claw marks started to appear all over Fenris body, His limbs, chest, stomach and even back.
Buck was careful not to scratch Fenris's neck because that would have been deadly. Soon Fenris was in a little pond of his own blood, if you could call it that. His wounds were sealing themselves visibly, but as a result of the blood spilled, he was standing in a small circle of blood.
"Okay Fenris I think this is enough.", Buck said. "Let's just stop".
"I'm not done yet!", Fenris roared. His fangs were visible and he growled in anger, he was quite persistent. "All right then", Buck said. Buck retracted his claws into his fingers and made a fist.
Fenris positioned his claws apart, placed one foot forward, and had his eyes on Buck. He was ready for him. Buck using his great speed, went straight for Fenris while Fenris didn't move from his position
When Buck had reached him, Fenris went for a vertical strike with one of his claws, Buck sidestepped to the side completely evading Fenris's attack, and gave a backhand swing to Fenris's face.
His body flew, bounced off the floor, and ended up being close to Lycan and Gwendolyn. "Not bad Fenris", Lycansaid. "I'm giving you a four out of ten".
"Isn't that a bit generous Lycan?", Gwendolyn asked with a huge smile on her face. "He sucked, he didn't even manage to land a hit on Buck. Honestly Lycan four out of ten sounds too much. Zero out of ten sounds like a more appropriate score. Ooh, wait how about we give him a negative score".
Gwendolyn enjoyed Fenris and Buck's fight more than she intended to. 'Serves him right for choking me, not apologising and claiming I liked him in from of Buck and Lycan', she thought.
Lycan noticed this and gave him a non-threatening glare. Gwendolyn just turned away. "No, I think four out of ten sounds right", Lycan said. "Yeah, He didn't manage to get a hit in Buck even once but he wasn't discouraged even once. He was also creative when he threw that rock at Buck which caused some debris to enter his eyes. His evasions aren't half bad, we both know Buck's swings are no joke".
Lastly", Lycan said looking down at Fenris whose body was still lying on the ground. "Your indomitable will, you could've given up during the final moments of the fight".
"Some may call that foolish". Gwendolyn coughed on purpose after hearing that. "But I see it as having the true spirit of a werewolf. So well done, Fenris. I mean you still lost but well done".
"Yeah, great do I get a prize now?", Fenris asked being sarcastic. "And Buck how the hell did you get so much stronger than me? It doesn't make any sense."
"Oh, wouldn't you like to know?", Buck asked teasing Fenris. "Yeah, I would actually that's why I'm asking", Fenri answered. Fenris tried to get up but only managed to sit on the floor.
The hit Buck had given him in the end was really something. "You'll learn all of that very soon, but for now let's see if we can heal those cuts", Lycan said.
Lycan looked at Gwendolyn. "NO!", Gwendolyn said quickly. "The last time I healed him It didn't work out so well for me, and his wounds are non-threatening they'll heal in less than an hour. I don't see any reason that waste any energy healing him when I don't need to".
Lycan looked into Gwendolyn's eyes it seemed she was dead set on her decision not to heal Fenris. "Alright, fine", Lycan said. "We'll work on your fighting skills another day, now that we know what areas we need to work on, it should go differently. Come on let's introduce you to the rest of the pack".
Lycan extended his hand to Fenris, he wanted him to take it, so he could pull him up. Fenris didn't, he struggled to get to his feet even though he knew that taking Lycan's hand would have made the whole process easier.
"Sure.", Fenris said. He passed Gwendolyn and Lycan, heading for the door. "See what I mean about being rude", Sarah said.
