Juyal and I took our weapons in hand, facing each other in the middle of the grasslands some distance from the Balm settlement. I had spent some time...or rather, a lot of time, debating on whether I should accept his challenge. Juyal’s objective was obvious, and one that I didn’t agree with. But as uneasy as it made me, in the end I accepted. After all, it was a teacher’s responsibility to correct their students when they went astray.

I had spent three years teaching Juyal swordsmanship. No spirit arts, no archery. Just the teachings of the Yosogi School. The Yosogi style of swordsmanship I had learned from Kaeha was as important to me as my blacksmithing. So when it came to facing one of my students, I couldn’t hold anything back.

So we faced each other, weapons in hand. That said, though this was essentially a duel, I wasn’t using my magic sword. Instead, I was using the knife I had carved from a grand wolf’s fang. Juyal seemed a little disappointed, but that was too bad for him. If I used my magic sword, it would slice through his weapon instantly, and that would be the end of it. There would be no time for him to express his feelings, nor for me to share my answer to them. The magic sword was so well-suited to Kaeha’s swordsmanship that it was too good for this duel.

However, even if it was a knife, this weapon wasn’t something Juyal could take lightly. Sharp enough to slice through the hide of the most resilient monsters, it was more than capable of slicing apart a dull sword as well. And if I could use the Yosogi techniques I had been taught with my bare hands, there was no reason I couldn’t use them with a knife as well.

That said, the sword Juyal was using was one I had made myself, so even this knife would have a hard time cutting through it. The advantage in reach that Juyal’s sword gave him over my knife would be the perfect handicap for our duel.

Juyal leaped forward with a slash. I made no effort to dodge, no effort to block, using an attack of my own to sweep his blade aside. I doubted he expected to lose a contest of strength against a knife. As his posture broke, I continued my barrage of blows.

Though he was capable of deflecting the first few, my continued assault steadily drove him back into a corner.

Yeah, that should do it.

He had learned a lot in the past three years, but I had been training in the Yosogi style for over fifty. He would need another decade or two before he could hope to match me. If he wanted to make me fight seriously, he’d need to use more than his sword. He’d need to rely on his pyrokinesis.

Juyal’s eyes flashed open wide, and the air in front of him ignited. I managed to dodge the explosion, but that created the opening Juyal needed to regain his posture and counter, his sword grazing my cheek.
