Blade Class [Nils & Roy]
Starter for @wanderingsstar
Swordsmasters of Elyos and Hoshido have long inspired people with their signature finishing move: the ability to cut through an opponent with dazzling speed, so fast that one can’t even perceive the blade leaving its sheath. The Battle of the Eagle and Lion reignites interest in learning these techniques. Determined students have made some progress but haven’t quite mastered the move. Think you can help them? [ Grants Sword +1 ]
Roy was rather skilled with a sword. He had to be to even be alive by then, and he’d had Cecilia as a teacher and a father with an impressive legacy to live up to. Any new technique wouldn’t be too difficult to master, right?
He mimicked the way he’d seen swordmasters pull their sword from their sheath and use the draw as a lethal strike. Focused, he put all of his focus and power into it, whipping his arm as fast as possible for the move-
So intensely, that his training sword flew through the air, clattering against the wall of the training hall and a suit of armor along the way with a bang. It landed only a couple of feet in front of Nils and Roy gasped, hand over his mouth.
“I’m terribly sorry! I’m having trouble with the latest move they’re teaching. Are you hurt, Uncle Nils?”
Rushing over to Nils, Roy picked up his training sword again and blushed, hot with embarrassment. He’d wanted to be able to teach Nila some sword basics and even more advanced techniques, but he was handling his blade that day about as well as a wet spaghetti noodle, and much more destructively.
“Have you tried out the Elyos and Hoshido technique yet yourself?”
