Shadow meets Shadow pt. 3

It was too much for Gale to process. The only words that rang in his ears were, "You're dead." Andrew charged. Gale could feel the bloodlust coming from his instructor's shadow. He could see the scythe readying a fatal blow. He was scared.  His body couldn't move. 
'He's really going to kill me.'
'Am I going to die here?'
'But I was going to be a hero.'
'I'm scared but...' 

Andrew was upon him. Gale could see the intent in his eyes. 

'I don't want to die. I don't want to die. I don't want to die.' 

Gales shadow danced wildly underneath him. It jumped into his right hand. Instinct forced Gale to grab it. The shadow molded itself into a large object.
"I DON'T WANT TO DIE!"
Gale didn't care what it was and once he realized he was holding something in his hand, he swung at the incoming scythe blocking Andrew's attack.

Andrew: so you learned how to use shadow create. And with your untapped power you summoned giant sword. That’s good you’re learning. Now the question is can you use it.

Andrew starts striking at Gale. Gale can only block with his new sword. Not able to mount an offense. 

Andrew: you can’t win while on defense. So what are you going to do? Gale if you can hit me one time I conceded the dual and teach you everything I can.

It took all of Gale's energy just to block Andrew's attacks. However, every blow struck with such force, that it shook Gale's arms and ran down to his feet. The shock made his hands hurt. He tried to find an opening but under the wave of assault after assault it was extremely difficult to find an opportunity to strike back. 
 
Andrew was growing impatient. His attacks started to come faster and more forceful. It was in that moment that Gale realized that he had been holding back the entire time. He needed to put distance between them. He waited for the next strike before ducking to the left and backing up several feet. 

An idea suddenly hit him. Andrew called his new ability Shadow Create. Did that mean he could create other objects too? 'Worth a shot.' He thought. Gale dropped the sword behind him. He then took the shadow from the handle sword and extended it, making it look like a rope was attached to it. He then threw the blade at Andrew.

Andrew- What the...........flushedscreamcold_sweat
Andrew tried to dodge as quickly as he could be he reacted a second to late as gales sword cut him square on the chest. A little flesh wound but nevertheless he hit him

Andrew- Well I’ll be damned. You figure it out. Congratulations. Well we don’t have much time cause it’s stuff happening in the real world that I need to attend to and you need to watch so instead of me teaching you. Imma just give your shadow all the information and over time as you get stronger you’ll unlock more abilities. 

Andrew links his shadow with Gale’s shadow to transfer his knowledge of the shadows. After he was done he told gale to leave and wake up. Gale open his eyes to see he was back in the real world. A moment later Andrew woke up with a smile.

Andrew- Alright good job. Now it’s time for field study. You watch and don’t engage. Do you understand me. If you get involved you’ll get kicked outta UA and I’ll lose my license. 

Gale nods in compliance and they both head out until the night.
