SWOOSH!
The spear came at me again, its sharp edge cutting through the air like a whirlwind. Reed thrust it forward with speed and precision, but I swayed my body just enough to dodge. His strikes were relentless, like a machine gun firing on full auto.
"Bro… just let me hit you once." Reed's voice sounded pitiful, almost desperate, even as he continued his barrage.
"Just once, please," he added, his gaze pleading while his hands moved with ferocity.
I ducked and weaved, letting the spear graze past me, then angled my blade to deflect it lightly. With each clash, I could feel his frustration growing, and for some reason, the look on his face brought a small, guilty satisfaction to my heart.
Reed cursed under his breath. 'What are you, a slippery roach?'
"As a master, don't you have any pride? How can you stoop so low?" I taunted, smirking as I stepped aside to dodge his next strike.
