118 Spar (1/2)

When morning came, I was unceremoniously pulled out of my bed and dropped in a place which had been cleared of all obstacles and where the ground was even and smooth.

I gave Netra a questioning gaze and to my horror, she takes out her weapons instead.

A kukri on both hands.

Kukri. A native weapon used by the tribes in the northern-east area of India.

The legend of Gurkhas who weilded this weapon and fought till every last one of them died in the battlefield is something most people knows.

The ones she's holding at the moment looks crude, old and rusted. But I know for a fact that those weapons can carve through a 4th tier creature's hide as easily as butter.

I took out my large cleaver and shield and got ready to face her.

I knew that I stood no chance. But if I can hold even a minute against her in the spar then I'll count that as my win.

With a feral grin and a growl, she charged at me.

Ten seconds later, I was lying face first on the ground.

With a healthy amount of respect and fear for the girl who cried in my arms last night.

My shield had been battered under her barrage of attacks and my my sword, which I was only able to use defensively, had three large nicks on it's bladed surface.

Yeah. Those weapons are deadly.

And Netra is deadlier.

”Get up.” She shouted and I jumped up from my position only to come under her attacks the very next second.

This time I lasted a bit longer.

I would like to say that it was because I was able to read her attacks and was able to counter them to a greater extent this time and it would be true.

But the only reason I was able to hold her off for twenty whole seconds was because she went a bit easy on me.

”Your technique is crude. We'll need to work on that.” She said as she circled my fallen form. ”Get up.” She shouted and I jumped up once again.

Only to eat dirt soon after.

This time she did not had to tell me to get up as I was up the very moment I fell to the ground and got to see a smile on her face for my action, which changed into a feral smirk soon after and the attacks continues.

A giant and heavy sword does not work very well when you're on the defensive. This was something I learned soon after the spar started.
