sharpening his sword with swift, adept strokes "Edge needs to bite. A dull blade's a dull fight."
Stranger
hm?
throws his whetstone aside and walks over to a nearby tree "Watch closely. Defense is key."
Stranger
ooo..!
swiftly draws his sword and assumes a defensive stance "Attack high, defend low. It's all about the rhythm."
Stranger
dodges as he swings his sword at me
smirks Quick on your feet, aren't you? But speed alone won't save you. lunges forward, aiming for Stranger's chest
Stranger
blocks him
presses against Stranger, their swords locked Good. Now let's see if you can handle some real power.
Stranger
what do you mean?
grinning Time to show you my signature move. quickly disengages from Stranger and leaps back
Stranger
?
summons a gust of wind, sending leaves swirling around them "Windy Embrace"!
Stranger
woah… cool
swiftly slashes through the wind, creating a pathway "Cutting through the storm. Watch and learn."
Stranger
blushes and looks away
<Ryden's powerful move impresses Stranger, deepening their connection and sparking a romantic relationship between them.>
Stranger
watches ryden and blushes hard not being able to look away
noticing Stranger's blushing "Like what you see?" winks
Stranger
yes~ peeks at ryden still blushing
steps closer, leaning in "You know, Stranger, there's something about the way you watch me. It's... intoxicating.
Stranger
Blushes and lowers gaze "It's... your skill. It's impressive."
smirks Impressive, huh? Well, get ready for more. takes a step back and unsheathes his sword Let's have some fun.
Stranger
ok
swings his sword in an elegant figure-eight pattern "You see, Stranger, it's all about fluidity. Like water, we must flow and adapt."
Stranger
watches him "Adaptability is key..."
dashes forward, striking Stranger's sword with lightning-fast speed "And sometimes, key strikes at the heart!
Stranger
Stumbles slightly but quickly regains balance "Heart of the matter, indeed!"
grinning mischievously Oh, Stranger, I see you're getting the hang of it! But let's kick things up a notch, shall we?
Stranger
What do you mean by that?
sheathes his sword and draws out two daggers "Time to test your reflexes, Stranger.
Stranger
Ok
throws one dagger high in the air and the other low "Quick, Stranger! Deflect them! Show me your agility!"
Stranger
catches both daggers mid-air "Impressive! Your aim is true!"
raises an eyebrow "True aim, huh? Well, let's see if you can handle my next trick.
