Sometimes you got let em fight it out

[fallenambitions]

Who: Alexei (fallenambitions), Yuri (trueknight), Raven (crisisrain)
What: DUEL TO THE DEATH--Cept it's for the Training School
When: Sept 14th, afternoon
Where: The barracks
Summary: Yuri wants to use the Training School for Brave Vesperia, Alexei wants to test his abilities first before making the final decision.
Rating: PG...13? /shrug.


Yuri and Alexei have finally settle on a day and time to have their match now that things have calmed down in Luceti, for the most part. Today was that day and Alexei had already gone down early to the barracks to wait for his opponent. This wasn't exactly the first time he had fought Yuri, but this will be the first time where they would be fighting one-on-one. He didn't believe he had anything to be concern about with this match. If anything, this was an opportunity to gauge Yuri's actual abilities.

[Alexei backsteps, raising his blade so that it collides with Yuri's from beneath to try and knock his off course. Think he lost a few hair strands from that return attack...nothing too serious.

Alexei will be taking a moment to recover his bearings so he won't be attacking back anytime soon.]

[trueknight]

[It takes Yuri a moment as well to get his sword back into a usable position again after Alexei knocked it off course like that.

But it's only a moment. He'll be coming back at Alexei again with a downward diagonal swing as soon as he's done with that.]

[fallenambitions]

[Alexei side-steps to avoid the attack and returns with the same move Yuri had done to him previously, a horizontal swing from his right. He'll keep going though should Yuri not block that one and make a downward diagonal swing.]

[trueknight]

[The first swing, Yuri doesn't have the time to block properly, so he tries to dodge instead - this leads to a small cut being added to the sleeve of his shirt. Thankfully, the sword missed his arm, so a small rip in the material is all that happens there. Hell, Yuri doesn't even really notice it, and probably won't till the fight is over.

The downward diagonal swing, though, is something he manages to raise his sword against in time, blocking that blow.]

[fallenambitions]

[Alexei doesn't notice he had done any damage until they were stuck in stalemate with their blades. It won't last for very long though as he steps back and turns so that the blade just slides along Yuri's as he turns back round for an upper horizontal swing.]

[trueknight]

[Not wanting to get hit by a swing like that (especially an upper one; he likes his head where it is, thanks), Yuri is quick to step back when he sees that swing coming. Though, he does lose a few strands of hair from having to suddenly jerk back like that. You're a dead man Alexei. Double-dead.

Right after that swing passes, though, Yuri's coming in with a downward diagonal swing.]

Hello Yuri. Did you miss me?

[fallenambitions]

[Why does this attack look familiar....oh right, you did the same thing up on Zaude. He didn't have much time to react to the attack, but he manages to avoid the blade...or so he thinks. He'll find that Yuri made a cut near his shoulder by the end of this.

Which eventually it does. They may have seem almost evenly matched, but Alexei manages to get the upperhand easily enough and ended this match by disarming Yuri. Alexei doesn't really say anything after Yuri's lost though. He expected to win, but Yuri was stubborn enough to actually make it a little difficult. Just a little...and that's something he didn't exactly want to admit. Give it a few more years of training and Yuri may just become an impressive fighter.]

A good match. You managed to last a little longer than most recruits.

I thought this was a spam message at first, fff.

[trueknight]

[After all that, Yuri definitely had no qualms about looking annoyed after Alexei manages to disarm him. Although, he did have to admit - it wasn't a bad match, and he did yards better than the last time he faced Alexei on his own (even if he can't really remember the details of that clearly anymore).

But that annoyed and frustrated look only lasts a few moments before he settles for just looking mildly aggravated. ... Or in other words, the way he usually looks when he sees Alexei. He'll settle into that look right before making a move to pick his weapon up again. No sense in leaving it on the ground, even if it wasn't his.]

Right. Aren't I lucky.

[... He could have said much worse, all things considered.]

Wow. Rude

[fallenambitions]

[...]

I'll give your guild a chance to run this school. For the time being. [There's still some reluctance there, but he's trying and maybe he's a little curious to see how things will turn out.]

Well that'll teach you to use comment titles that usually show up on dating site spam emails B(

[trueknight]

"For the time being", huh.

[What was that supposed to mean? Whatever, he's probably just being tsun a dick about it. He'll throw in a non-nonchalant shrug after that.]

Better than not at all.
