"Aaaah!"
Ean screamed as he ran towards Shu swinging his newly gained sword at Shu who blocked it with ease
"The sword is amazing, so great it even makes the user strong but you, you're weak, you have the strength of a hundred men now so why do you fight like a child?"
Shu questioned before pushing Ean back with the stick via the clash they were having, to later hit him on his right leg making him kneel before whacking his face with the stick making him bleed
"This is my first time wielding a sword so why are you so hard on me!?"
Ean yelled before swinging at Shu's face with desperation in an attempt to push him away
"If I were to go easy on you then by 20 years you'll be as weak as those in the academy"
Shu whispered to them take a few steps back giving Ean space to stand up before hitting his shoulder with the stick, making him fall back down on the ground
"They aren't weak, you're just too damm powerful"
Ean exclaimed while holding onto his shoulder, helping himself up with his sword
"I'm not as strong as the Vice-Principal, am I? That's how strong I want to be, that's how strong I want to make you, so hold your sword well, and keep attacking"
Shu encouraged while swinging his stick to a side with force, causing a burst of air which made Ean take a few steps backs
"Alright then"
Ean whispered while copying Shu's past stance, holding his sword straight and with confidence
"Yeah that's it, come at me!"
Shu yelled as he dashed towards Ean causing a sonic boom before clashing his stick against Ean's sword, said clash dragged Ean back causing a gigantic shock wave in the process
"Ugh!"
Ean exclaimed, groaning as he tried to push back eventually doing so, pushing Shu back before following that up with a rush of his own, swinging at Shu attempting to slice the boy, increasing his speed as he continued to swing, leaving nothing but a blue trail of light with each swing
"Oh, you're getting the hang of it quite easily, and I thought you were a wuss"
Shu whispered disappearing in a blur of speed creating a small crater on the ground before appearing beside Ean, swinging his stick at his head in an attempt to knock him out but before it could reach him it was blocked, by Ean's sword
"Ho..ho-hahaha, I can feel it, I'm getting faster, and faster, and so much faster! I get it now, I now understand why you're so obsessed with beating up. This is...This is fun!"
Ean yelled before disappearing in a burst of wind appearing behind Shu with his head down, holding his sword with both of his hands as he then took in a deep breath
"Midnight Dark, Blue King of Death; Crescent Moon!!"
Ean yelled while covering the sword with his sanctuary Energy, making it glow a dark blue before swinging it up, underneath Shu's arm in an attempt to cut his arm off but before it could reach Shu would move his arm up, dashing to the side, avoiding the swing which shot a bright condensed lot of energy into the air slicing whatever was in its way
"Hah!"
Shu exclaimed before whacking Ean's ribs sending him flying a couple of miles away, causing him to slide through the ground at an insane speed, bouncing off of it as he slowed down, stopping underneath a boulder.
Ean would then try to stand up but right when he was about to he was slammed against the ground by Shu's weight
"Hey, where'd you learn that?"
Shu questioned while looking down at Ean who was breathing heavily
"What are you talking about?"
Ean replied as Shu simply looked at his sword
"The Crescent Moon thing"
Said Shu with simplicity, answering Ean's question
"Oh that, yeah—I just copied one of The King of Death's techniques, it's a classic within the guide books of the Omni Library"
Ean replied as Shu nodded looking down at him
"And what's this Omni Library thingy?"
Shu questioned while scratching the back of his own head as he kept looking down at Ean
"Oh it's like a huge library full of martial arts textbooks that only Nobles and Royalty can access"
Said Ean, answering Shu's question before being kicked into the air, to then be slammed back down to the ground from a whack of Shu's stick
"Ahh!!"
Shu yelled, falling down against the hurting Ean, pointing the stick at Ean's chest as he fell down at insane speeds, attempting to stab Ean's torso but before he could reach, Ean moved aside, dodging the attack to then kick Shu away standing up, right after
"Alright.."
Ean whispered while slowly swinging his sword from left to right as if he was trying to come up with something and all of a sudden, in an instant, Ean disappeared, leaving an afterimage behind, causing a sonic boom just like Shu before him.
And as if time had stopped both of them stared at each other, Ean in the air holding his sword up with both of his hands and Shu on the ground holding his stick down in a stance that would allow him to bring his weapon up
"Aaaahh!!"
Ean yelled as he brought his weapon down in an attempt to slice Shu in half but before his sword could rich, he suddenly fell to the ground, crashing against the ground with force as the sword stabbed itself on the ground next to Ean
"Uh. Hey, you alright?"
Shu questioned While looking down at Ean who laid head up on the ground
"No, I—I can't feel my body, not my muscles, not my bones, nothing"
Ean replied with a vein popping out of his head as he attempted to move
"Oh right, this happened to me before, grandpa told me this only happens when you have a sudden boost in sanctuary energy. Come on let's go, I'll take you home"
Said Shu before grabbing Ean by his waist throwing him over his shoulder to then grab the sword as he began to walk
"Oh t-thanks, I'll tell you where to go o-on our way there"
Ean stuttered in a whisper as Shu smiled, beginning to walk
