Basic Sword Skills [Thursday, Period Three]

[furious-maximus.livejournal.com]

The class was set up almost identically to the way it had been the previous week. "Today," Max began without preamble, "we will be seeing how much you've learned. The exercise is simple: each of you will select a weapon and an area of terrain." His smile was slow and lazy. "And then you'll show me what you've learned."

"You're free to warm up before you make your decision, or to talk to your fellow students."

Max's grin grew slightly predatory. "Good luck."

Morgana picked a flat piece of land, so that neither she nor Max would have the advantage, aside from how he was still much more skilled than she was. She chose a sword that was around the same size as Arthur's and the ones she was used to, and was determined to simply hold her own for as long as she could. In the end, she lost, of course, but she fought better than she had weeks ago, and ended up feeling rather pleased.
