[i] He nods.[/i] "You want to know the reason why I've never tried to use four swords?"
-
"You're not a Genesis?"
-
[i] He smirks.[/i] "Id find a way. But no. Because by using three, I can treat them as extensions of my body. By using 4 and wielding them with telekinesis, they're only weapons."
-
"Weapons, exactly. That means I have all the versatility I need, and there's not threat of damage when used a certain way"
-
"The swords aren't the weapons."
-
"The person is, as we are the ones with minds. They are, however, the things that cut and don't feel pain"
-
[i] He tilts his head.[/i] "So you're afraid of pain?"
-
"Not at all, just prefer not to bleed out before my target dies"
-
"Do you know why I'm the best swordsman in the world Alexandra?" [i] He asks her, using her full name for the first time, his eyes showing some thing that seems much older than the rest of him.[/i]
-
"You trained your way to the top, accepting defeat, and only pushing yourself harder and harder?" [b]She asks, glad he didn't know her last name, as JT is only her fathers initials[/b]
-
[i] He shakes his head.[/i] "Because I'm willing to die for my title. A man who isn't ready to die for something isn't fit to live." [i] He quotes someone.[/i]
-
"Something my father said to me when I was younger"

Edited by Will: 12/15/2015 10:15:18 PM"That's why you need to learn how to use your swords with your hands, before manipulating them with your mind." [i] His figure blurs from across the room, and suddenly he's in front of her, pointing a finger into her chest.[/i] "Because you're the weapon. The swords are tools. It doesn't matter if they can't bleed and can't feel pain, you've got to be ready to bleed and hurt for something, to have it." [i] His icy blue eyes gaze at her with an intensity as he says this.[/i]
-
"Alright" [b]She says, amazed by how fast he moved. Her father told her about that when she was young, but he never said how fast[/b]
-
"Yes Alexandra, I'm fast." [i] He winks.[/i]
-
[spoiler]Oh, you'll regret that...[/spoiler] "I'll bet in more than one way" [b]She says, smirking[/b]
-
[i] He smirks.[/i] "Think what you wanna think. That's all they'll ever be, thoughts." [i] He winks again before taking a step back, conscious of how close he was to her.[/i]
-
"Can't blame a girl for joking, can you?" [b]She asks, chuckling [/b]
-
"Sure." [i]He smirks, before handing her another Boken.[/i] "Treat it as if it's an extension of yourself, and not a weapon. You're the weapon."
-
[b]She takes the boken, holding it in her right hand, getting in the same position as earlier[/b]
-
"Alright, come at me."
-
[b]She raises the blade in the air, going for a sidewards swing to his neck, right side, and stepping forwards a bit[/b] [spoiler]By the way, SOMEONE has to go full gladiator lmao. All you ninjas and shit...[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]lol, Lance isn't a ninja. Just a really fast swordsman.[/spoiler] [i] He cross blocks the swing, holding the block and her sword above his shoulder.[/i]
-
[b]She goes to swiftly kick him in the chest to open him up, putting her weight into it[/b] [spoiler]Katana's? Check. Speed? Check. Armour that looks slightly ninja-like? Check. [/spoiler]
-
[i] Before Alex even realizes what happened, he pushes the sword away from his neck, bringing the sword down and bracing it with his free hand, blocks her kick with the Boken, sending him sliding a few feet.[/i]
