Not only that, but the strikes backed by the momentum of his speed and ma.s.s were powerful enough to topple even Gorms.ĭoug was like an upgraded, ‘Holy s.h.i.t, what is that guy!’ version of Fii. Just the speed of his first leaps were much faster than Fii’s, and using his muscles to run brought his final velocity to a level beyond compare. That disparity in speed made all the difference. His thin frame was incredibly muscular.īy making use of that sinewy, muscular body, Doug could perform the same feats of agility that Fii did. And as aspiring knights, these boys were far from short.Īlso, despite being so slender, he was heavier than boys his height. On the other hand, despite Doug’s slenderness, he was still the height of the average apprentice knight. The main advantage that her body held was its natural lightness.īecause of that lightness, not only could she perform feats of agility with her meagre power, it was also easier to change the direction of her movements, giving birth to an irregular and unpredictable fighting style.
It was unlikely that her pure muscle power could match a boy’s. They were fighters who made use of their agility to avoid enemy strikes as they attacked.īut their ability was completely different.įii was certainly a natural jumper, but that was only for a girl.
In fact, Fii and Doug fought in similar ways. If Doug ever took this seriously, Fii would be defeated in the blink of an eye, without any chance to retaliate. The truth was that the gap between their abilities was immense. The whole mock battle had been like this.Įver since she had partnered with Doug, not once had Doug attacked her. His sword was still held loosely by his side, and he showed no signs of going on the offensive.ĭespite still being close enough to attack, as he had demonstrated in his battle with Gorms. The power in his legs were incredible, and the distance between them widened once again.Īlthough Fii stamped her feet in vexation, Doug simply maintained that troubled countenance as he watched her from far away. When Fii tried to break the gap again, this time Doug leapt to the left. If Doug didn’t take this more seriously, it would only disadvantage them both.
However, mock battles were a different story. Normally Fii preferred a docile Doug for the sake of protecting her secret. “d.a.m.n it, Doug! I told you to take this seriously!” The moment that the irritated Fii took a step forward, Doug hopped another three steps back. It was the opposite in fact Doug had not attacked even once. The reason that Fii had been angry all this time was not because he had hit her. The pair were not exchanging a thing.Ī troubled expression appeared on his face. Standing around them were other apprentice knights, exchanging fierce blows.
The location was the outdoors apprentice knight training grounds, and the pair were currently in the midst of a mock battle. Considering her short reach, it was far from her contact range. Standing five metres away, she pointed her wooden sword at him.
