Mission 3 [Voice, eventually Action]

Adell, I'm ready to spar if you are. Just tell me where you want to do this.

If anyone else is in the mood for training, I'd be happy to help if you don't mind fighting someone who uses swords. I need any opportunity I can get to become stronger, and I'm sure many people here feel would likely feel the same.

[Squalo quirks an eyebrow at the appearance of her weapon.] Neat trick, Red.

[He studies her a moment. Most people here tend to offer first-blood as the alternative. This is interesting.] And I'm not the type to forfeit.

Neither am I, but I'd rather leave the option open. After all, there are some people who would forfeit, and I have no reason to not accomodate them.

[She raises her sword, getting into a fighting stance.]

Are you ready?

Heeeey, I've been waiting around for you to stop talking!

[He grins sharply. Taking her question and stance as a cue to get started, Squalo he closes the distance between them quickly and attacks with a diagonal slash of his blade.]

[Rather than dodge the attack, Erza brings up her sword to block it. Once that's accomplished, she tries to push Squalo's sword back so that he'll be defenseless, albeit briefly.]

[Squalo holds his ground, determined not to move unless it's on his own terms. It's not a bad start. He's pleased to find his opponent is stronger than she looks. Shifting his stance, he manages to push forward enough to jump back and create space between them for a second attack. He readies his sword.]

VOOOII, now don't just stand there!

[The Varia swordsman gives Erza a look that clearly reads C'mon. Let's see what you've got.]

[Rather than rush in and attack, Erza slowly side-stepped around Squalo, thinking about what she could do. After a few seconds, she ran at Squalo, swinging the sword at his right side (the side without the sword on his arm).]

[A wide grin stretches across Squalo's face when he realizes she is willing to attack him on his most vulnerable side. But vulnerable does not mean undefended, not to mention he's too proud to dodge unless he absolutely has to.

Pivoting on the balls of his feet, he quickly turns so his left side is mostly facing the attack and barks out a laugh. He just manages to parry Erza's strike though he has to bend his wrist at an unnatural angle (http://www.onemanga.com/Katekyo_Hitman_Reborn/111/04/) to counter the direction of her swing, and he draws their blades upward.]

[ooc: so horribly late; sorry!]

((OoC: It's okay; I don't mind!))

[Erza quickly brings her sword into a defensive stance, so that Squalo won't be able to strike while she's off-guard.]

What happened to his hand? It shouldn't be able to bend like that normally!

[Shaking off her confusion, Erza swung her sword at Squalo's feet.]

VOOI!

[Scowling a little at that attack, he jumps back out of the way.

Squalo then straightens his wrist and charges forward with a wide swing of his sword.]

[Erza brings up her sword to block Squalo's slash.]

Stop shouting! You're so annoying...

Don't tell me you're easily distracted.

[He adjusts his footing and follows up with a downward strike.]

[Ignoring Squalo's taunts, Erza blocks his sword with her own. While he's in range, Erza tries to knee him in the stomach.]
