[@TheHangedMan][hider=Sol Windblade]"[b]Well then I thank you for that.[/b]" said cordially as ever as he waited for his opponents next move. Then Sol nearly did a double take as he realized the weapon, and most of the floor, was coming towards him without a man behind it. As the man wasn't in his peripherals he could only conclude that the axeman was behind him. Which left him to evaluate his threats. Blocking the axe was impossible, with the rotation speed and fatigue he already had the axe would tear through his defense and leave him vulnerable to the doubtless incoming attack from behind besides. That narrowed it down to dealing with the man himself, there was no way he could block man's attack with his body and only possible with his sword, once again leaving himself unable to defend from the axe. 

Then it seemed it was do or die time. Letting out a fierce yell Sol turned away from the axe and rushed to the man behind him. As he turned he found the man's fist already plummeting towards towards his head at this point. That meant the man must've been aiming for his spine or neck given their positions now. Regardless he considered his next move in a matter of moments between moments. He had one last chance to score a blow. It must be lethal as possible, stomach? Too slow a death. Throat? Too risky as well as too awkward to reach. The heart? Most dangerous point to strike in least amount of time with most strength. 

Sol shifted his body to the side as he moved forward, not enough to move out of the way, but now the man's fist would hit his shoulder instead of anything more vital. On the other hand Sol's sword lunged directly where the man's heart if he had a normal human anatomy, which admittedly wasn't guaranteed. But with no more time to consider and death getting closer every second Sol committed to the thrust that would decide the battle. He knew the man would hit his shoulder with most likely bone-shattering force and the axe would hit at nearly the same time. Oh well, either's Sol's sword would find it's target or he would be defeated then and there. Maybe even both. At least he knew he had passed his exam regardless and more importantly had a good fight.[/hider]
