[center][h3][color=f26522]Asher Brandt[/color][/h3] Lustre Academy - Combat Class [@CadenGallic][/center] The sound of a gunshot echoed as Asher's blade flew right out of it's sheath, saving him the need to pull his arm to his blade and grab it to draw it. The incredibly fast retaliation would meet Terrance's maul's shaft, striking against the large weapon with the added power of being propelled by the gun mechanism. He loaded Gravity dust for this fight, and only that, adding more weight to the strike as he aimed to mitigate Terrance's power-based response, by cancelling the force with his own. Asher's katana's blade glowing dark purple with the effects of the dust. Terrance's grip was too tight for this to completely throw the heavy weapon out of his hands, but it was enough, as his move worked as a parry, deflecting the attack, if not deriving it of any power he would have built up. Assuming it succeeded, Terrance would be vulnerable and forced immediately on the defensive, with Asher's blade drawn and ready, he would be under immense pressure from Asher's succeeding assault.
