[Kisetukai]

17th Of Spring 513 AV

"Well, Kise looks like your in the drivers seat." K said "Looks so." Kiss replied as he yawned. "Well...Get up?" K said in an annoyed voice. "Ser Corben is awaiting our presence in the training grounds." "Right!" Kise said as he began to comb his hair. "Oh! Make sure you eat something before you go." K said in a concerned tone. "I won't have you giving me cramps in the midst of training because you awoke late." "Okay mom.." Kise said in a sarcastic tone as he grabbed an apple and smiled. Kise then stopped as he looked into the mirror. "Wow, just think, one day we will be a knight." Kise said in a soft tone. "Yeah..Because of my work." K claimed.

"Oh and who carries the stuff?" Kise smirked as he exited the room placing some honey candy from his chest in his mouth. As he walked out of the dorms he saw all the other squires preparing for their day. "K, do you think we can make some friends here?" Kise said in a hopeful voice. "Who needs friends? Friends are weak..." K stated. "Look Kise...the only people we need are those of power." "And the occasional fair maiden if you know what I mean." K said as he bursted into laughter. "No..what do you mean?" Kise asked innocently. "Just hurry up and get to the fields..." K said in regret as he sighed. "Yeah! Your right! You know Ser Corben disapproves of tardiness." Kise said with a chuckle as he began to speed walk. 

As they began to approach the training grounds it was apparent they were at the right place. The clings of steel, the scrapes of armor. "And the screams of mild, pain?" Kise hoped it was mild at least and exaggerated. As he began to enter the grounds he twitched a bit, causing another squire to gain interest. "Are..Are you ok?" The curious squire asked. A smile covered the boy's face when K answered, "Yeah...better than ever." "Well Kise, I guess I'll be training today." K said with an arrogant chuckle. "It's okay, I preferred not to train anyway, so I understand." Kise stated in a relieved voice. "I don't know why your so scared of fighting Kise...This world has peace because of great fighters." K claimed as he sighed and walked onto the fields. "Yeah but a lot of great fighters are the cause of great wars." Kiss replied. "Whatever.."K said as he saw his patron on the field.

"Alas Ser Corben, I am here, as you requested Ser. K announced with a bow as he walked up to his teacher. "How many times must I tell you...no need for the formalities my boy!" Ser Corben stated with a smile. "I am proud to see that your 5 chimes early though, if I may say." He added. "Also pretty relieved to see your not complaining about the weight of your armor." "Well it's still no picnic." K said with a smile as he tapped the armor. "But you shall grow used to it with training!" Ser Corben stated as he tapped his. "And move on to this!" "Well anyways I'm glad you brought your weapon." Ser Corben said in a rising tone. "That will make this training more efficient." He added. "First matter though..." He said as he sat on the floor patting for K to do the same. "I have one question I should've been asked you." Ser Corben sighed. 

"I will ask you now and once more when you are a knight." "What are you goals and ambitions? What motivates you to fight? What keeps you going? What is your biggest fear?" Ser Corben said with a piercing stare at K to see his answer. K looked at him not intimidated by his stare. "Well Ser Corben." K said as he sat opposite from him. "Power." Ser Corben looked at him confused. "My boy..What do you mean?" "Well Ser, I want power. Just as simple as that." "Every knight wants power and respect. We all just want it in different quantities." K stated. "You could call me greedy...Maybe I would call myself greedy. I want power and great respect for my power. I want people to shudder at the thought or mention of my name." K added in a monotone continuos voice. "My ambitions?" "My ambitions would most likely be...The thrill of surpassing my rivals in power." "So far I only have on rival. My mother..." K said as he shivered a bit.

"And fears?" He began to chuckle. "I have none." He said in a cocky voice. "Well..." Ser Corben said as he stood up wiping himself off. "Now you have two rivals." He added as he drew his sword. K's face lit up as he stood up quickly and jumped back a couple feet. "Damn still getting used to this armor!" He thought as he notice he didn't jump that far back. "You know...I have been waiting for this since day one." K said as he slowly started to pull out his scythe. "Oh that's great." Ser Corben said playfully. "But can that farm tool really be considered deadly?" "Well I bet it's more dangerous than such a tiny sword." K said in retaliation. "Well yes that scythe is quite long..is it compensating for lackage of something?" Ser Corben teased back. 

[Kisetukai]

"That's it!" K said as he charged at his patron with great vigor, swinging wildly. He grew more rage as he began to miss his target increasingly over time. "More speed! More emotion! Are you even trying?" Ser Corben said as he easily dodged the wild swings. K expectantly grew more rage every passing second. Swinging heavier, and stronger, yet more sloppier. K then got an assumption, that if he couldn't reach him horizontally, his scythe could still definitely reach him vertically. He quickly swung his scythe to the left as he spun it around his back.  Grabbing it in his right hand and instantly connecting to his left he swung it overhead as he plunged his scythe into the earth. Missing his patron by only a mere few inches. "Agh!" K yelled as he couldn't retrieve his scythe's head from the earth. "Damn!" He mumbled. 
Ser Corben quickly took his advantage and jumped off of his scythe, bopping K on his forehead. "Dead..." "Because you lost your weapon." 

"No!" K said as he pulled his scythe from the earth and widely swung around to the direction of Ser Corben's voice. "It's not over!" "You haven't won yet you--" K stopped as he noticed his masters absent. "Ser? Were have you gone?" K turned around as he saw the hilt of a sword in his face. "Dead...Once again." Ser Corben announced as he bopped K once more. "Kise...You need to learn to control your rage." He claimed as he sheathed his sword. "You swung like a mad commoner, and I for a fact, know your better than that." K had dropped his scythe, huffing and puffing he said, "You..I had no idea. You." "Kise, I'm a knight. Do you think I made it here because of my dashing good looks? Ser Corben said playfully. K picked up his scythe and then bowed. Sheathing it, and upon catching his breath he said, "I am so sorry Ser. Forgive me." 

"It's ok boy. I understand your ways." Ser Corben claimed. "But know that we have ally of training to do." "Your form is completely distasteful." K stood there blankly for a bit..until smiling innocently. "Yes sir, I understand." Kise said happily. "Thank god." K said. "Kise I want you to also train ok?" "Do I ..really have to?" Kise said in a whiney voice. "Yes. I know this will help you." K stated. Kise sighed as he walked up to Ser Corben. "Ser, if I may ask. Would you spar with me once more." Kise said while looking blankly. "Well sure, you need all you can get right?" Ser Corben said with a smile. "Thank you.." Kiss said with a small smile as he walked back a bit. Ser Corben began to draw his sword until Kise interrupted him saying, "No Ser, I'm afraid that won't be necessary." "I request hand to hand combat." Kise said he popped his knuckles by squeezing his fist. 

[Kisetukai]

Ser Corben smiled as he put up an awkward set. Kiss wasn't sure if he was a fighter, but definitely would treat him like one. "Ready!" Kiss announced as he put on a softly serious face. "Ser! Don't hold back! Because I won't hold ba--" He was immediately silenced as a demolishing straight put him in his place. His body went limp as he was forced to the ground. "Rule one..You must always be prepared to take a hit. Always!" Ser Corben lightly yelled as he walked back to his starting spot. Kise, who was utterly shocked by the viscousness of that blow, was facedown with a blank look on his face. He was amazed by the fact that a simple punch had rocked him so deeply. As he rolled onto his back he seemed to let the pain flow in. He instantly let out a horrifying scream to show his agony. "AGH! AAAAGH! AAAAAAAAAAGGGHHH!" Was pretty much all he could utter out. He was mortified by the dull pain ringing in the center of his face. So awful he had to close his eyes, and just scream some more. He rolled to his knees holding his face.

"Get a damn grip Kise! Your making me look weak!" K yelled in a ticked off voice. "A knight should never be seen on his knees in battle!" K screamed at him. "I know...I know but--" Kise was interrupted as his nose started to drip blood. That dripped quickly formed into a leak. "K! It hurts! It hurts so bad!" Kise screamed out loud as he was still talking to K. "K it hurts!" "May Tyveth so help me I will utterly destroy you if you do not stand up."  "It's not as bad as you think it is! Stand up Kise!" K screamed as Kise began to stand up. "Kise! Staaaand up!" Kise was standing..Barely, even though his nose was still leaking. Kise wobbled a bit before screaming outloud. "Your gonna have to try harder to beat us..Ser." Kise said as he recuperated. It made Ser Corben wonder why he referred to himself as 'us', but he found it unrelated to the subject at hand. "You call yourself a future knight. You have potential but you need to unlock it. I want you you to thrive to become stronger! Stronger than me, and try to create a better world! Now stand up straight and show me that you are not just another squire!" Ser Corben began to shout at the boy. 

Kise had stood up straight by now and replaced his smile with the face of a fighter. "Did I tell you How much I love it when you snap like this?" K said in an excited voice. "Kick his ass Kise." Ser Corben took a couple steps back. "Ah your a boxer I see." "Well make this interesting then boy." Kise had slid off his top armor and had put on his black knuckless gloves. Kise stared at him blankly for a bit, from a distance of seven feet. "My boy, your a little different. I wonder have you--" Ser Corben soon found himself dodging a multitude of jabs and hooks. Kise didn't say a word as he was planning the fight in his head. "Haha! Yes Kise! Don't let up!" K said egging him on. Kise threw a   right hook forcing his patron to go left, then right to bring him back quickly. He then threw another right hook to do the same, except he followed with a left straight. Ser Corben dodged the left at an awkward angle, trying to finish the fight he took the opening. But Kise drew back his left hand and dropped into a quick crouch thus dodging the potential straight left. He then sprung up with a right uppercut containing a deadly intention. Forcing his patron to side step and think quickly he knew he also had to act quickly or his efforts would be in vain.

Kise then did something unexpected, that shocked everyone except him, especially K. He crouched once more and poorly executed a backwards heel leg sweep. Forcing his patron to jump he had gain some momentum. "Yes! I know what your thinking!" K said as he was backseat fighting. "Do it know Kise! You won't get another shot!" K added in a bit of a rant. Kiss instinctively jumped out of his crouching position and kept into the air with great speed but barely much height. The squire threw his strongest punch in an attempt to bring his teacher back down to the earth in victory. "Hughwagh!" Kiss yelled as he swung downwards with a punch backed up by his whole body. He came down after punching the air and his fist had hit the ground with a thud. "Yes Kise! You got that bastard! That'll show him to mess with me." "Wait..." Kise said confused. "I was sure that I had hit him." "Of course you hit him!" K stated. "He probably has a dent in his armor!" "No...It felt like I hit the air. Like..--" Kise stopped as he heard the sound of a metal blade hissing at him. He stood up, and looked at his patron in shock. "Ser, there were no weapons." "I never used a weapon..." Ser Corben stated. "I was merely showing you that your life could've been over." 

"Tell me Kise...Would a common man of another honor hesitate to finish this fight with his blade?" Ser Corben asked knowing the answer. "No...No Ser." Kiss replied as he bowed. He smiled as he returned back to his normal self smiling and taking off his gloves. "Stand straight up...A knight shouldn't be seen like that." "Also Kise I want you to go enjoy yourself tomorrow. Give those bruises time to heal." "I will see you in two days...We will have a rematch." "Thank you Ser, I would bow again, but I think you broke my spine." Kise said with a slight chuckle. He walked over to his patron and smiled, as Ser Corben playfully messed up his hair. Kise hugged him, which shocked his patron saying; "Thank you Ser, thank you for being there! Thank you!" Kise said innocently. "Stop! Stop! He's gonna think I'm some sissy like you!" K said increasingly becoming more embarrassed every second. "And to think you were so bad ass a while ago..." K announced as he sighed. "This is torture to watch..."

"So were do you wanna go tomorrow?" Kise asked as he was finishing brushing his teeth. "Well how 'bout a bar?" K said bluntly. "No! Of course not! We are to young to be--" "Shetup mom" "It was a joke..Now turn off the light. I need my beauty sleep."
