Kamae : Jodan

Ah, it seems the influences of the colorful texts has died down a bit. I must say, that is pretty creative and eye-captivating. To be honest, I did not know that this mechanical device is capable of sort of things. It makes you wonder who invented them, doesn't it?

Related to that, I am openly amazed by the amount of bright young generations. Contrary on the saying of how self-obsessed teenagers could be, we were served by those who mature faster than they ought to be. There's the young Atsuro, there's young Ryudo-dono... Ah, I can't wait to see more of them in this land. Most interesting, Prospero.

That aside, should anyone interested in entertaining an old warrior to a duel, consider this an invitation. I would gladly settle with the rules and terms any of you might offer. That is all.

I think I could make time for that.

Where's a good place... It's my first time, you know, I don't have your level of experience.

[Sword in hand, Issei approached the man he considered an actual swordsman, unlike himself.]

Good afternoon.

What should we have be the end of it? First blood, surrender...?

I'm not going to duel to the death!

[Squeak.]

To surrender it is. Hmmph, don't startle me like that.

Action - aaaah fighting scenes how do I do these again

[Issei raises his sword defensively.]

If you're ready.

[Issei blocks the first slash, but the second grazes him. Not too badly, it's only an opening attack, but still. Issei returns the strike, slashing at Assassin's side.]

Thank y- ack!

[Issei hasn't yet mastered talking and fighting at the same time. The slashes push him back as he's forced to retreat at the flurry of blows.]

[Issei blocks a few attacks, but takes more attacks than he blocks. The situation is indeed favorable for Assassin, and he's not sure how to counter yet.

If there was an opening...]

[Issei hasn't been expending himself as much, having mostly been trying to block, and dashes at Assassin after the end of that slash. His sword doesn't have as much reach, so he needs to get in close to strike.]

[Stupid ridiculously long sword. That one hurt.

Back to the defensive while Issei tried to figure out how he was supposed to win here.]

Action

[Ow.

No matter how much Issei's defense was cracked, he wasn't going to surrender. No way.]
