Who: Neras
Picking up the wooden short sword of the rack, Neras walked to the center of the ring to spar with his first opponent. The thief had to show Marshal Iztel that he was healthy enough to head out into the street to do the gangs bidding. Jaren told him that he couldn't say no to her if she said that he was good to join the ranks of Sun Birth once again. He just needed to defeat his opponent to gain the Marshal's confidence. Marshal Iztel was always hard on him because she wanted to push him to his limits to unlock his potential. The marshal looked at him and said with a nod, “The Sun Birth's only want the best in the street, Jinx. I want to see it here...”
Neras a few practice swings with his short sword, and he waited for his opponent to step onto the arena. The rest of todays class was sitting in the seats around the arena watching him take on his opponent. Neras was dressed in leather armor with a thick leather helmet on his head. On his left arm was the Sun Birth issued shield, he had the wooden practice sword in his right hand. Eventually, his opponent came into the ring, and he saw it was Greasy with a blunted and padded short spear. The look on Greasy face seemed pleased that Neras was the person that he would be facing in the spar. He knew Greasy would do anything to put Neras back into the clutches of the doctor, so he steeled himself that he needed to score point with the doctor, but he needed keep himself from getting hurt too.
Getting into his fighting stance, Neras still felt awkward with the shield, so he kept the shield lower protecting his body while his short sword was eye level point at Greasy in his pimply face. When the Iztel called out, “Begin!”
Greasy wasted no time in his attack on Neras. Immediately, he jumped up in the air and doing a over head swing to catch him off guard. Neras jumped backwards out of the way to dodge the attack. He realized that he was at a disadvantage with the length of his weapon compared to his short sword, so he needed to get closer. Greasy got up to his feet with his spear pointed at Neras chest. Neras waited for Greasy to attack and quick thrust at his chest. The half breed stepped swung the shield left to intercept the spear and deflect it away. As he defected the spear, he stepped forward and did a long thrust his short sword into Greasy's chest.
All Greasy did to dodge it was jump back out of reach of his wooden short sword blade. Bringing up his spear as he jumped backwards trying to pull back his spear. Neras with a quicker and smaller weapon back after he missed the short sword once again swung his shield left to deflect the spear. He missed the shield swing this allowed Greasy to get back into position and back into a battle stance. Neras thought to himself, 'Petch I should have just attacked with my sword...'
