[i]"Well, she certainly passes the speed test..."[/i] Sho thought as his martial arts uniform fell apart from her slicing attack, revealing his scarred and muscular body beneath it. [i]"On par with me when not equipping Halborym; no, even faster than that... Seems like I got myself a nice opponent this time around!"[/i]

Sho instantly turned around, just to hear her warning him before she unleashed a barrage of blows with her sword at him. He parried, blocked and dodged her blows. Admittedly, It had been a while since he had fought someone on this level and so was taken aback by the sheer force she put behind her attacks. [i]"Where does all this strength come from? Not that slender body that's for sure..."[/i] he thought, blocking another hit with Kaliz. [b]"What's the matter little princess? That's all you got?"[/b] he said calmly, trying to get into her head.

Sho dodged her sword once more and jumped high, landing several feet away from her, making some space between them. That's when he realized she was using the dull part of her blade; [b]"Better not underestimate me. I know its just a spar but I'm no so weak as to lose to a dull sword..."[/b] he said and extended his arms in-front of him, requipping Halborym. Once equipped, Sho dashed forward even faster than before, putting the extra speed the magic gauntlet gave him in use. [b]"Let's see how you fare with this!"[/b] he said and planted one foot on the ground, propelling him forward, his left fist coming down from upwards while his knee came flying upwards, a move he called Dragon's Roar. It produced enough force to shatter a large boulder into pieces. Had she dodged it, Sho would continue on his course and instead hit the building behind them.
