Bruce summoned his blade of ki, electing to keep his other weapons out of sight unless they became necessary or advantageous. As far as he knew, Alvios only knew of his sword. He leaned forward and erupted toward Alvios, strafing to aim for his side opposite where he kept his own blade. In a short sprint, Bruce drew up near him, slashing upward at an angle. He kept his stance such that he could either press Alvios back or make a brief withdrawal based on his response.
