Beads of sweat rolled down from his pale skin, his knuckles white from the tight grip he kept on his beloved blade, as various gashes were left on the poor tree he found himself training with.

Kazuma sighed, feeling his lips frown.

'Boring', he found himself thinking, stretching lightly his back. His light attire didn't help much with the hot temperature outside.

unfortunately, he had no one to practice his blows with.

he reached with his arm to wipe away the dampness from his face.

"I know you're here."

his voice rang in his yard, making you jump lightly, as you stared at the whole scene from behind a bush near to his place.

"....."

a small smirk pulled at the corners of her lips, as he stared right in your direction.

Without even knowing it, you found yourself playing kendo with him. You had to admit, the sight was something but also..

you never had the chance to play fencing with anyone before, so you didn't have idea of what to do, holding ankwarldy the katana he handed you completely clueless.

"No need to fear, princess. I'm going easy on you. I'm not planning to kill you after all."

he teased with a small smirk, keeping the blade pointed at you, about to give the countdown to start.
