How I met my Shifu (continued)

"Vel."

"Yes~?"

"Fight me. I want to see how much damage I can do."

Finny loves to fight (and win!). Often, I watched as he duke it out with Vel in practice duels. I would always be amazed at how he could dart just out of reach from his opponents, firing whizzing arrows across a field with lightning speed, with not a strand of gravity-defying hair out of place.

I wanted to be good at fighting, too! So one evening, I decided to pop the question.

"Finny .. how do you manage to fight so well?"

Finny gave me a quizzical look. "... just fight, I guess?"

"Could you teach me how to do it?"

"Sure." 

Lesson started immediately.

"Alright. You should know the basic combo for a blighter. First you use this attack to shackle... then this one to trip... followed by this. Try it."

"Ok!"

"Good. But you need to be faster. If it was a real fight, you'd have been defeated already. And don't just stand there, run around and confuse your opponent."

"Yes shifu!"

And thus begins ... my roller-coaster journey into the world of dueling!
