Quicks victories

The crowd erupted in cheers, it was one of the fastest fights of the entire tournament. Throwing the weapon at the opponent would be an illogical decision for many, but that was precisely why it surprised his opponent, a powerful throw if it caught you by surprise was something that was difficult to dodge or intercept with your weapon, especially with a classic fencing stance where the angles for defense were quite limited.

"Congratulations, Zendra, although it would have been dangerous to fail…" Ikky began.

"I know, and if this had been a life or death fight, I would never have done it, but it is a simple tournament where it really doesn't matter if you win or lose. Most of us have already demonstrated our skills in combat; the rest are like Leira says… they are macho men" the girl had done well, and deep down she was right, once the real skills were shown, success at that moment was a matter of surprising the other, more than anything else.
