The Martial Unity

"I mean, sure." Kane shrugged.

"Good, hear me out." Rui moved closer to him and began whispering his plan, he knew the Squire had sharp senses, so he took all the precautions he could, to avoid letting her in on the plan.

Meanwhile, Fae launched a flurry of powerful palm attacks, each one with incredible force. Yet Kyrie managed to parry all of them handily.

WHOOSH

Felix lunged towards her from the other side, looking for a takedown, but she simply evaded his attack with a summersault, cleanly dodging the shooting maneuver. This resulted in Fae's and Felix's attacks heading towards each other.

"Not this time!" Fae narrowly avoided Felix's charge while diverting her attack away from Felix.

"Looks like the same trick won't work too many times, eh?" Kyrie noted blankly. Yet four Apprentices attempted to dogpile her from four sides, while three more were circling around ready to pounce the moment they failed.

All eleven of them couldn't attack her simultaneously. It was almost physically impossible, there was limited space around a person through which they could be attacked. Even if it were physically possible, it could only be achieved through practiced and rehearsed well-timed and well-placed attacks. Such a thing was, of course, impossible in this sparring session, which was why no more than five people ever attacked Squire Kyrie.

BOOM

Kyrie blew away the last of her attackers with blitz kick, dusting her attire as the Apprentices recuperated.

Suddenly a commotion of the other side of the ring grabbed her attention.

"NO NO NO! That's a stupid plan!" Kane shouted at Rui. "That's not gonna work!"

"HUH?" Rui snarled. "You think you can do better?!"

The two of them started bickering loudly, uncaring for their opponent, who simply gazed at them blankly before sighing.
