"Aaron."
"Oh? You know me?"
Standing on the spot where I used to be standing moments before, was Aaron. Theodora Academy's number one ranked first year.
"Of course, I would. You're pretty famous." Taking a step back, I replied. "...It'd be strange for me to not know you."
"That makes sense..."
As if it was the most logical answer, Aaron crossed his arms and thoughtfully nodded his head.
Looking around, he asked, "...but, you still haven't answered my question. Where are the other two?"
"You're talking about Kevin and Jin?" I shrugged my shoulders. "Beats me. They are off doing their own thing."
Even though I knew; why would I give him the answer? That was a stupid question to begin with.
"Mhm, I see. Then I'll get rid of you first."
Aaron's eyes coldly flashed. Disappearing from the spot he was standing, he reappeared a couple of inches away from me.
—Sha!
Slashing sideways, I could hear the faint sound of his dagger splitting the air apart.
"...khuk!"
Bending my knees slightly, I watched as his dagger pierced the area where my head used to be.
—Thump!
Stomping on the floor, I pushed my body back. Cold sweat trickled down my forehead.
"...that was close."
After distancing myself from Aaron, I placed my hand on the sheath of my sword and glared in his direction.
"Hmm, you're as good as I thought you were.", Aaron said as he looked at me from the distance.
"You too..."
There was a reason why Aaron was the number one ranked person in Theodora academy. Experiencing his skills firsthand, I now understood just how strong he was.
Furthermore, from the looks of it, he seemed to be taking me seriously unlike all of my other opponents before.
"Damn it."
Unknowingly, my grip on the handle of the sword tightened.
—Sha! —Sha!
Before I knew it, Aaron once again attacked me. Unlike before, I was more prepared and thus was able to dodge his attacks.
"...khuak!"
Unfortunately, cuts still appeared on my body as Aaron's dagger tore my clothes and skin.
'He's done his research on me...'
The more Aaron attacked, the more difficult my situation became. He was leaving me no room to breathe. Like a machine, he attacked, attacked, and attacked.
Because my rings needed half a second to make, and the Keiki style couldn't defend, I was truly in a stump. Slowly but surely, my injuries were starting to pile up as cuts appeared all over my body.
'Crap, I can't let this go on...I needed to create some distance.'
Gritting my teeth, I raised my head and directly stared at Aaron in the eyes. Slowly my pupils turned grey as I muttered inside of my mind.
'The one..'
Aaron instantly fell into a trance as his footsteps slowed down for a split second. Taking advantage of this opening, placing my hand on the sheath of my sword, a clicking sound resounded across the area.
—Click!
"K-kevin died?"
A/N : Sorry for the late chap, bit sick. If you find any mistake please tell me. Probably missed them cus my brain is a little bit fried. Oh, and yes. Cliff-kun never fails to arrive.
