The both of them held their wooden swords tightly and faced each other while the other students watched the battle closely.
"Ready, fight" Jake announced and the two students swung into action.
"Haaa" both of them shouted as they clashed swords.
"Stop," Jake said and they halted immediately and looked at him, the students were all surprised, they didn't do anything wrong right.
"Why do you feel the need to shout before attacking an opponent?" Jake asked them.
All the students were couldn't say anything because everyone does that, everyone feels the need to shout before attacking it serves as a motivation, Ray let out a small chuckle and everyone looked at him.
"Ray right" Jake said.
"Yes," Ray answered.
"Do you shout before attacking?"
"Sometimes, I do it unconsciously," Ray said.
"Hmm, okay you guys can continue," Jake said.
The girl started as the aggressor striking the boy as soon as possible, the students were impressed with the girl as she was moving and attacking from all angles.
The students watched closely at how the girl was doing, all eyes were on her because she was the only one attacking, the boy on the other hand was just blocking and evading all her attacks.
Soon the battle was getting boring as the girl was starting to run out of stamina, Sir Jake was standing there smiling as he watched the battle.
The girl retreated back as she was clearly exhausted, the boy smiled and charged toward the girl to finish her off.
"Stop," Jake said and the boy looked at him.
"I said spar, I didn't say attack and block" Jake reminded them.
"We're sparing, I was going to win," the boy said.
"You were waiting for her to exhaust herself and then you can attack her"
"Sir that is a good option to use against an opponent," the boy said.
"Yes, but what if your opponent is also stalling so that reinforcement can arrive, what are you going to do," Jake said and the boy was speechless.
"Okay, I need another two people, you guys are much in the swords class"
"You guys are twice or thrice than most of the classes"
"Yes Sir," Gabriel said.
"Ohh, the rank 1, come forward," Jake said to Gabriel and he stepped forward.
"Where is the rank 2 and 3 are they in the swords class?"
"Yes Sir, Leia rank 2" Leia announced.
Xavier raised his hands up but didn't say anything.
"You didn't introduce yourself, are you shy, and your outfit is different," Jake said.
"I'm Xavier," he said in a small voice that Jake barely heard.
"Okay, which of you wants to spar with the rank 1," Jake said.
Leia has been waiting for this moment, she wanted to beat Gabriel so she had been training, now she was ready but before she could say a word someone already answered.
"Me" Ray shouted.
Jake turned his head and looked at Ray.
"You want to spar with him?"
"Yes," Ray said.
"What rank are you?" Jake asked.
"I'm 68..." Ray said.
"And you want to spar with someone at rank 1, everyone would get his chance, you would also get yours just not now," Jake said.
"Sir please can I spar with him," Gabriel said and all the students were shocked.
"You want to spar with him?"
"Yes Sir" Gabriel shouted.
Ray smiled and stepped forward, he took a wooden sword and faced Gabriel. Gabriel wanted to see if Ray was truly strong or if all he was saying were just lies.
"Okay, ready fight," Jake said.
Both Ray and Gabriel stood still waiting for who would make the first move, Ray held his sword and charged forward.
The two of them clashed swords and Gabriel could feel the strength behind Ray's attack.
"It seems you are telling the truth about your strength," Gabriel said to him.
"Don't worry I'm just starting"
The two of them pushed each other backward and this time Gabriel was the one who attacked first.
Gabriel swung his sword towards Ray's head, instead of blocking the attack Ray moved back and dodged the strike, Ray used this opportunity to attack him.
Before Ray could swing his own sword Gabriel had already swung his sword.
Now Ray couldn't dodge this attack he could only block it with his sword.
Apart from the first swing, Ray didn't have any chance to attack Gabriel, Gabriel was faster than him in everything. Ray couldn't do anything, he could only block.
"I thought he wanted to spar with Gabriel, this is a one sided battle" Ivan whispered to Leia.
"Yes, Gabriel is too strong, I wonder how he moves so fast," Leia said.
"How can a person in rank 68 defeat someone at rank 1, that's not possible"
"Sir Jake should end this battle, after all, Gabriel is going to win" two students talked among themselves.
Jake was just smiling, something was making him happy, maybe it was the fact that Gabriel was overwhelming Ray in the battle.
Slowly Ray was getting used to Gabriel's speed, he could now block his attack well and also attack him.
The battle was getting intense each second with neither side backing down, the students were surprised as Ray was keeping up with Gabriel's speed.
"Is this a spar or a serious battle"
Ray was getting too serious that it felt like he wanted to kill Gabriel, but if he wasn't serious there was no way he was going to defeat Gabriel.
"Okay stop," Jake said and the both of them stopped.
Beads of sweat were running down both of their faces, their breathing was ragged but they were smiling.
"I really underestimate you," Gabriel said.
"You are quite good yourself," Ray said.
"So Ray why are you at rank 68?" Jake asked.
"Uhmmm... nothing Sir," Ray said back.
