Chapter 326: Sparring with others 4
"Wow, you guys are going to have another round? Aren't you guys tired?" Nathan said while approaching them.
"Yeah. Resting for ten minutes is enough," Luciel replied after taking a drink from the water bottle Treyton had handed him.
"Man, I think that wouldn't be enough rest for me if I had been the one fighting with you guys."
"Don't think too much. You won't last that long against us, so 10 minutes would surely be enough as your rest time," Treyton said.
"What the—! I know that's probably true, but as a friend, did you really have to say it out loud?" Nathan said, shooting Treyton a glare.
"It's exactly because I still consider you a friend that I'm stating the truth for your awareness," Treyton replied with a smirk.
"Luciel, look at how smug Treyton is just because he's stronger than me," Nathan said, turning to Luciel and dramatically pointing at Treyton.
"What's the problem? Just let him be. After you defeat him later, you can also show it in front of him," Luciel simply said with a smile.
"Woah, Luciel, how can you say something like that too? You guys are teaming up against me!" Nathan said and acted as if he was really hurt by what they said.
Treyton chuckled and said, "Don't just accuse others. What Luciel said was indeed true. After defeating me, even if you showed off in front of me, I wouldn't mind it. I'll even praise you."
"Tsk. Praise me? I know you are just saying that because you know that I couldn't defeat you, even later."
"Oh, at least you are aware that you'll probably never defeat me," Treyton said with a teasing smile.
"Don't say that. You never know what might happen. You might be able to defeat him after training hard," Luciel said.
"Don't bother trying to comfort me. Even if I train hard enough, Treyton is also training hard, so the chance of defeating him after training hard is probably only one percent, as he is also getting stronger."
"At least there's still one percent. The chance isn't zero yet, so it's still possible."
"Tsk. I won't bother talking to you guys anymore," Nathan said and walked away.
Luciel and Treyton just smiled after seeing Nathan walk away. Nathan surely knew that he couldn't win against the two of them, so he didn't bother staying just to be teased by them.
Nathan had always loved teasing others, so teasing him was also very fun. So, if there was a chance, he and Treyton of course, wouldn't let it pass.
After Nathan left, Ashlee and the others came over along with Astrid and the rest. Aunt Cana also came with them.
"Big brothers! You are strong! I want to be strong too!" Sophie said.
"Brother Luciel! You became even more powerful! I also want to be able to fight like that when I grow up!" Ashlee also said.
"Don't worry. You guys can also fight like that and be strong once you guys grow up, as long as you continue training. As long as you properly train early, you can also be very strong in the future."
Ashlee and the others were still very young, so as long as they continued training, they would definitely grow stronger.
In fact, after months of training, it was already obvious that they were stronger than most other kids, especially Ashlee and Theo, who had started training earlier than the others.
Sophie's body had also gotten stronger, but because of her age, her training was simpler compared to the others.
So, if it's about the result of training, then Ashlee and Theo's development were good examples.
Ashlee had become stronger and could already throw lighter daggers. She no longer needed to practice with the lighter scalpels that he had given her in the beginning.
As for Theo, he still couldn't hold a real sword yet, but the number of swings he could do had increased a lot compared to the few swings he could manage when he had just started practicing.
So, as long as they continued training, they would surely become stronger in the future. They might even be stronger than him and the others when they reach the same age, because unlike them, who had only started training when they were already grown up, Ashlee and Theo already had a very solid foundation from childhood.
"Brother Luciel, you're really powerful, and I think the way you used the glaive is even better than Cousin's. Is it okay if we also learn how to use the glaive like you do?" Astrid asked.
Astrid and the others were also using glaives as their main weapons, aside from the daggers they carried, because of the glaive's long reach.
Treyton had also made a lot of short glaives for Ashlee and the others, so they had been using those weapons in their training and when going outside.
Since they were already using glaives, Luciel wasn't surprised that they asked about how he used his during the spar with Treyton.
"Sure. You guys can learn whatever you're able to pick up from watching me spar with Treyton. I don't have time to guide you carefully, so you can ask Treyton; he'll probably pick up all of it after one or two more spars with me.
Or, if he's not available, you can just ask the others since they're all watching us spar.
They've probably learned something just by observing, which should be enough for you guys to start with for now," Luciel said to Astrid and the others.
After the kids finished saying what they wanted and got their answers, they all went back to the side and waited for the next round of sparring, saying that they still wanted to watch the fight.
"Luciel, your fighting ability is really good. As for Treyton, you're still as strong as before, but I don't think you've improved at all. Still, watching you two spar is really exciting. It even makes me want to fight too," Aunt Cana said with a smile.
