Slash, counterslash. Parry, block. Spell, evasion. Healing, healing.
The two Tales swordspeople were evenly matched in most respects. While Rutee had a definite edge in magic and Bloody Rose matched anything Guy could do for raw offense, the noble from Hud's speedy combos kept her on edge. It was a brutal grinding fight, and one that was slowly favoring Guy. Till the worst thing that could have happen occured- Guy's sword sliced off Rutee's top, leaving her completely exposed.
But to the surprise of *EVERYONE*, Guy didn't so much as flinch, and kept on pressing his attack. Rutee managed to twist out of the way even so, and knocked Guy back with a kick to the ribs.
"Hey, you perv! Why'd you cut off my top!?!"
"Huh? Oh, didn't notice, sorry. You look just like Leon shirtless does. I'm normally bothered by girls you see and aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh MY ARMS!"
It's hard to use a patented two sword style of attacking when one's arms have been ripped off.
Lesson for the day: Never say a swordgirl looks like Leon.
