[closed] double the demon fang

Who: Flynn Scifo, Ruca Milda
When: 12/16 ic
Where: Dojo
What: A cute demi-god and a mother hen knight spar
Warnings: None!

[Keeping one's skills the best that they can possibly be means training whenever possible. Flynn hasn't had much time for it, but either ViViD or the dojo get visited every day. Today's choice is the dojo in order to beat up some dummies to sharpen a few skills. A couple artes have felt a little off form-wise so best to work all the kinks out before using them in a potential battle.

Before coming here, he'd returned home to put on all his armor and grabbed both sword and shield. Why train without the proper equipment? It's either all or nothing and Flynn isn't one to do things half-assed. His training methodology is the same. Each movement made has purpose and strategy to it. Practice it might be, but it gets taken as seriously as any battle. His attacks hit hard but lack their full strength. The purpose of this is refining artes, not beating a fake training tool senseless.

A slice downward here, an uppercut there and follow up with a Demon Fang. Flynn jumps up and backward, unleashing a Hell Pyre at it. A frown forms on his face as he lands. The damage is decent, as evidenced by the scorched dummy, but the timing is off by a small fraction. That won't do.]

[that actually doesn't sound all that complicated. it's honestly more similar to his world than he thought.]

Can a lot of people use them or only a few?

[demonicbookworm]

_{[Ruca likes thinking that everything is more complicated than it actually is.]}

There isn't too many people who can use them.

_{[But it's not a good thing to be able to use them.]}

[thatdamnknight]

[yup, it really does sound like something similar to the children of the full moon, though maybe less ancient and mysterious.]

But you can, right?

[demonicbookworm]

_{[Ruca hesitates for a second or two, before he nods firmly.]}

Yes, I can.

[thatdamnknight]

[flynn pauses for a moment, obviously debating something, before smiling at ruca.]

I know it's a bit sudden, but would you mind showing me what you can do?

[a spar showcasing artes from another world? how could he possibly pass up the chance?]

[demonicbookworm]

Ah, I won't mind at all!

_{[In fact he'll be more than happy to do it. Perhaps it will give them a clue as to why both their worlds have artes.]}

[thatdamnknight]

Great.

[a spar is better than just training alone, too. this'll be fun. flynn gets into a more battle ready stance.]

Come at me once you're ready.

[demonicbookworm]

Alright.

<sub>[Ruca somewhat hesitantly gets into the fighting stance himself. The big sword definitely looks like it should be too heavy to him, but he doesn't look like he has any trouble holding it.

There is a moment of silence, before he unleashes Demon Fang at the other.]</sub>

[thatdamnknight]

[flynn can't help but be impressed at the fact ruca can wield a sword like that without difficulty. proof to never judge a book by its cover.

the starting arte is all too familiar and easily side-stepped. despite all the armor, flynn's surprising agile and closes the distance between them in no time. once close enough, a sword rain comes ruca's way.]

[demonicbookworm]

<sub>[Sword Rain. This is a familiar arte to Ruca.

He reacts quickly and tries to block the incoming attack. When he gets the chance this time he decides to use Crescent Strike.]</sub>

[thatdamnknight]

[not an arte flynn's familiar with, though it resembles one Judith uses, and it's one gets deflected via the use of his shield. the strength behind the attack isn't anything laughable, either. ruca's definitely a worthy opponent.

once having parried the blade off to the side with the shield, he follows it up with a dragon swarm (done properly, unlike the way SOME people do it).]
