"That's not exactly what I meant by how a knight talks," Leo responded wryly as Tyrhallan finished speaking. "But I can show you the answer."

Then the Knight Captain drew his blade and Leo noted the shift in his demeanor as he took up his stance, his eyes like that of a predator about to strike. [i]There you are,[/i] Leo thought as he controlled his breathing, channeling ki into his sabre and bracing for whatever might come. [i]The Crimson Rider.[/i]

Time seemed to slow down as Arn called for the match to begin and almost immediately, Tyrhallan was upon him. His sword came as a blur from the left, tilting up towards Leo's head which he narrowly caught on the strong of his sabre, just above the hilt.

[i]My reflexes are a match for his speed,[/i] Leo realized in that instant as he countered with a vertical slash, only to meet Tyrhallan's follow up attack whipping around to the other side of his head. Their blades clashed once again and Leo leapt back to avoid a potential third strike.

"Trying to give me a haircut?" Leo casually asked as he slowly circled around his opponent, watching every little movement. "I see you're good with the high guard, but what about..."

All of a sudden, the Spider dropped into a crouch and swung his sword in a wide horizontal arc, releasing the ki in his blade into the very air and sending it forth as a blade of wind aimed directly at Tyrhallan's feet.
