CURSE BOUND

"Now I want you two to pick a sword styles and but you are going to have to hold back or else we might sink the boat" Reiogard says as he chuckles

"Wait is it a two versus one" Mathew says with suprise in his voice

"It seems like" Benjamin says as he takes a stance as Mathew quickly follows

"Mhm from your stances I can tell you two use the sword strike style, makes sense" Reiogard says as he also takes a stance

"I'll be using both sword strike and sword flame style together at once so prepare yourselves" Reiogard says as he dashes at the two with great speed as Benjamin and Mathew to the same

"This is going to fun" Reiogard thinks as he grins in anticipation

As they charge at each other Mathew is left behind in the sprint as Reiogard and Benjamin clash with great force rocking the entire vessel, As they try to force the other one over Mathew appears behind Reiogard and strikes at Reiogard's neck screaming

[Armis Piercer]

Reiogard looks behind him in suprise

"Are you trying to kill me" Reiogard says in shock as in a swift motion he slides his foot under Benjamin tripping him and quickly turning around, strikes Mathew in the ribs which causes Mathew to stumble off balance before quickly kicking him in the gut before he can fall to the ground sending him into a wall rocking the ship once more

"Ahh come on, you two got the teamwork but your not fast enough" Reiogard says in disappointment

In an instant Benjamin gets up and dashes at Reiogard much faster than before

"Stop underestimating me !" Shouts Benjamin

They clash multiple times at high speed sometimes splintering the wooden floor and then Reiogard finds an opening in Benjamin's attacks rushing for his gut

"You're done Benjamin !" Screams Reiogard as he slashes at Benjamin's stomach not realizing that he's not moving. Then out of nowhere Mathew reappears charging at Reiogard screaming

[Hurricane Fury]

Followed by Benjamin's

[Armis Piercer]

Benjamin leaps ups in the air landing on the ceiling and propeling him self off it diving at Reiogard

"Alright am done playing with you two, time to end this before you destroy the ship" Reiogard says as he grabs Mathews sword before his attack could be done and twisting it with such force it causes Mathew's body to spin and then he aims his sword and strikes Mathew square in the stomach causing him to cough up blood and knocking him out

"Oh my bad" Reiogard says in a worrying tone

"Dont worry about him worry about whats behind you" Benjamin says in a calm tone as his sword is inches from the back of Reiogard's head, but reiogard is able to block it

"You know you might have been able to hit me if it weren't for you announcing yourself and i'll let you regret ever doing that Benjamin Claire" Reiogard says for the first ever time showing a serious look

Benjamin's eyes widen in suprise then in an instant Reiogard twists his hands back pushing knocking Benjamin off balance as his sword falls out of his grasp, As he slowly falls to the ground he can see a slight spark as he hears the words

[Armis Scorcher]

In an instant he is struck with a burning hot pain as he is struck atop the head by Reiogard and swiftly knocked out but, before he is completely out cold he hears Reiogard say

"Ha I had fun today unlike most, thank Benjamin, Mathew" Reiogard says in a calm voice as Benjamin's vision fades to black

A few years ago

Benjamin groans as he swings his sword with great force and speed

"Oh all shirtless and swinging your sword till you sweat, your just like him you even have his muscles" Setsuna says as she giggles while watching Benjamin train in the courtyard

"Hey let me train will you, why do you always come here and spy on me train" Benjamin says annoyed but Setsuna only stands there smiling at him intently as Benjamin begins to blush

'I see you blushing" Setsuna says in a teasing voice

"Ugh whatever" Benjamin says as hus whole face turns red

"Hehe i'll leave you alone for now Benjamin" Setsuna says as she walks off giggling
