Anfer, unable to use the broken staff, decided to use the sword previously entrusted to Herega. Eavelin held the katana.
♦️
Both went to each other at the same instant, locking with their weapon. Anfer improvised a kick to the girl's left ankle, but she was strong enough to stand, so it was the master who lost some balance. Falling backwards, he made a stand with one hand on the ground while, with the other, he stopped vertical hits by the girl. Relying only on his left arm, he raised his legs in the air, hitting her chest and bouncing her back a few feet. Just a second later, he set off again towards her with a series of sword slashes, blocked blow by blow by Eavelin, who was still backing away. Anfer took a chance, he left the sword in one hand, and with the other locked both hands of the girl, close to hold the weapon. He dropped his weapon, and took out of his grip that of Eavelin. She did not give up and began to hit Anfer in any way she could, but he kept dodging, there was no way to touch him even once. The last blow was a direct kick to the face of the master, he managed to block it with both hands (one still held the katana) and, using great force, put her upside down, then throwing her away. While she was not yet landed, Anfer was already at the point she later reached, pointing his weapon at her neck.
«I surrender.» Eavelin said with a calm tone.
«We have a lot to work with you... But you're here to improve, right?» Anfer replied.
The girl was a little upset about that sentence, but she didn't go further. After all, he was right. Ren carried Eavelin on her shoulder, and accompanied her near Herega, then took the wooden daggers and approached Anfer.
♦️
She set on guard, holding the daggers in front of her face. Anfer held Eavelin's katana, and pointed it upwards. Not even the time to think about it, Ren charged the master and reached him in a split second, hitting him with the dagger on the face. Anfer had foreseen it, but he could not avoid the blow anyway, so he tried to block it with the katana, but it broke, making it almost impracticable. Ren continued, trying to hit him on the neck. Anfer dodged, though with difficulty, each blow.
«The master has changed his weapon three times. This is because he is good at stealing it from his opponent. I have an advantage, it's hard to steal a dagger.» She thought.
Anfer waited for a double horizontal slash, when it arrived, he lowered himself, kicking Ren's ankles at full power in the back. The girl began to fall with her back turned to the ground, but she was fast enough to put her hands on the ground and make a back flip, while she did it, she was able to kick Anfer's chin, who took some steps back. The master was bleeding.
«Now my uniform will get dirty...» He said.
Ren was confused for a moment. Anfer came closer, he also blocked her wrists, gave her a headbutt, knee on her side and kick her ankle, causing her to fall. She immediately rose, kicking a parable just under his chin, but she could not hit it. As soon as she got up, Anfer caught her by wrapping his arm behind her back, managing to lock both arms. He drew her body to his and pointed the weapon at her face. Ren gave him some headbutts. Although Anfer suffered from it, he did not let go of the grip, and soon struck her on the neck with his weapon. She did not have to tell her to surrender. If it had been a real clash, she would have died. With difficulty, with her head a bloody hair, reached Herega and Eavelin.
Anfer approached them.
«You have surprised me. I thought you were much less strong. I must reckon, perhaps you could face five of demons, not three. However, let me give you a tip:
Herega, it is good to rely mainly on sorcery but, once consumed your strength, you find yourself making bets too risky, thus risking die. Eavelin, it's clear that you are the least combat-minded of the three of you. You're afraid of the consequences of a battle, but let me tell you something. A disastrous outcome is more likely to be achieved by fighting with fear than by force. Ren, you may be superior to me in strength, but you're too impulsive. Your attacks are powerful, but not versatile, it is easy to counter-attack. In essence, by injuring enemies, you easily hurt yourself. In a normal fight it would be fine, but against demons it is essential not to let yourself be touched even once.» The master said. He then invited them to rest. The next day they would attend the first demonology class.
