Reese and Leif: The Same Fight Part 1
Leif was practicing on his way on a training dummy with a training sword
Reese entered one of the training grounds "Prince Leif! I can see that you are training...all alone," Reese picked up a training sword "Can I join you?" Reese asked
Leif turns around to face Reese "Oh, you must the newcomer, sure I don't mind in fact...is alright if we can test each other strength?" Leif asked with a straight look on his face
Reese smiles "Perfect, I have been waiting forever to test my skills in this...new world," He picked up a small shield "Let us test our strength,"
Leif point his training sword at Reese "Gladly, just remember that I won't go easy on just because you a newcomer," said Leif
"I expected as much," Reese position himself as they both charge at each other
Reese was focused on his agility and strength as he uses his shield to block Leif's training sword
Leif, on the other hand, focused on speed and dexterity but without a shield, he is forced to dodge Reese attacks or block with his training sword.
The Fight when on for a while with Reese and Leif clashing against each other.
Reese, however, always kept his shield right in front and his sword by his right side. Making it difficult for Leif to get close or to get a clear shot.
Leif attempted to strike Reese left side but Reese parries it with his shield and quickly countered back with a thrust hitting Leif's chest making him go down on his knees.
Leif dropped his sword and raised his hand "Huh...I guess this is my defeat, Your shield forced me to go on the defensive and I tried my best to go around it but..." Leif sighed
"Indeed, a shield can easily force your opponent to adopt a different fighting style that is unsuited to them...at least that what Ward said but I have to agree with his statements." Reese pulled up Leif to his feet "My shield forced you to go on the defensive and when you tried to land a blow against me, I can just parry your attack and countered back. Winning me the fight," Reese smiled as he raised his sword once more "What to go another round?" Reese asked
Leif picked up his sword "Sure, I got to train much harder to protect everyone," said Leif as he raises his training sword once more.
Reese smiles at Leif "Me too, I go train much harder to make sure that everyone dear to me is safe,"
Reese and Leif did another round of combat as they adept their different fighting styles
After a couple of rounds of combat, the result was 3-2 with Reese winning overall.
Both of them were exhausted as they sat next to each other on the beach.
"That was a good fight Prince Leif, it a truly an honour," said Reese as he extends his hand towards Leif
Leif accepted Reese as they both shake their hands "You don't need to call me Prince, Lord Reese, Leif is just fine," said Leif
"...alright and you can call me Reese, to tell me Leif...what that sword that you have sheathed" Reese points at Leif Light brand
"Oh, this...this is the Light Brand my...mother once used it during her time aiding her brother...my uncle when Lady Deridie gave to her as a gift," Leif unsheathes his Light Brand and reveals it to Reese
Reese examines Light Brand "Light Brand...the design...it beautiful and well crafted, It like my sword Garm that has been gifted from my sister," Reese unsheathes his sword Garm and reveals it to Leif
Leif examines Garm"Thank you, it looks like we do share something common. I have heard that you came from a different world than the rest of us,"
"...yes, it appears so. I remember the time when I first came into this world with everyone eyes upon me, it a little...' weird' to be only one out...at least until Ward, Dean, Czene, Larentia and Izerna were finally summoned by the summoner," Reese sighed with relief "Thank Verian,"
Leif looked concerned "So...you must have felt alone for a while,"
"Oh, yes I did feel alonely before they came, Ward was excited to see me alongside Larentia. They were just as lost as I was when I first came into this world, so I had to give them the tour around the palace," Reese looked around in the training ground "This world is completely different from ours and well Czene seems to be excited to explore more about this world named...Askr."
Leif pat Reese on his back "Huh...so your lucky," Leif looked away from Reese "Unlike me where I had to be alone without my father for at least a year during my time here in Askr," Leif looked down onto the ground where this time Reese started to pat him on the back
Reese smiles at Leif "So you have been in the order of heroes for some time?" Reese asked
Leif smiles at Reese "Yes, I have been around...two years I think, I don't remember that clearly...it been a long time," said Leif
"And yet you still lost to me who is just a newcomer..." Reese started to laugh "It proves that you still have more to learn,"
Leif nods "Yea, I still need to learn more,"
Ward enters the training ground with a frown on his face
"Lord Reese! There you are! I was looking all over for you!" shouted Ward as he makes his way towards Leif and Reese.
Reese turn towards Ward "Hm? Ward? Is something wrong?" Reese asked
"Nothing like the matter, your present is required at the war council," Ward cross his arms
Reese frowns for a moment but nods "...very well," turns towards Leif "It was nice talking with you, Prince Leif. Now if you excuse me," Reese slightly bows before leaving with Ward
Leif waves Reese goodbye "No problem, we can talk at another time," said Leif as he continues to train once more
