The Black Lion vs The Silver Dragon[Night]

Few days ago, while in a patrol with the other cadets, an interesting conversation had happened, they spoke of having friendly duels with Julius and the other royal siblings. The idea of having friendly matches against members of your own squad was not uncommon among the Black Lions... Hell, it was even encouraged for them to trade blows every once in a while. In the end, Albrecht felt encouraged to challenge another one of his peers for a duel, it would make feel him right at home, it was nice way to test his mettle and even learn a thing or two.

Shiina would have received a formal invitation earlier that day through text message, with the place and time. And so the Knight waited for his opponent, clad in armor, his sword in hands and a banner standing behind him of the Black Lions behind him.

Cecilia would sit at a distance observing the training grounds with remote interest. Normally she wouldn't have attended something like this, but she had been asked to stand by so that she could heal the two as needed and keep watch over the spar, a role which she was certainly willing to accept. Casual bouts of violence weren't exactly her thing, however, there was a clear practical purpose behind it as a matter of honing one's skill -- and besides, there was something she was curious about. The opponent Albrecht would be facing was Shiina who had a power unlike the rest of the Class Zero's abilities. Since that was the case, she had to wonder...

There was a strange glimmer in her eyes. She didn't say anything, but if Albrecht were to look back while waiting for the Wild Card to arrive then even the slightest speck of intuition would reveal clear as day who she was rooting for. After all, she had already let a piece of information relevant to this situation slip back during their first meeting at the church.

Cecilia was the first one to arrive, they didn't exchange any words but Albrecht would give her a small nod and then later on she arrived... The Knight quietly starred at the Wild Card for a moment, she was late yeah, but judging by the state of the uniform she likely had a good reasons. Albrecht had fought enough to know the signs of battle.

"Ah, welcome, I'm sure you had a good reason, Battle Sister Shiina. Albrecht nodded firmly, hopefully her previous conflict wouldn't affect her performance in their match, she did appear confident as always so she must be fine. He wanted nothing short of her best in this fight. "I have been looking forward to this duel, i'm sure you won't disappoint." He'd approach her for a handshake and even offer a smile from underneath his helmet and unless she had anything to say, he'd walk back to his original spot. "It will be a simple swordfight, only our weapons and Soul Skills shall be used.The loser pays the winner a good mug of Ale... Is that good for you?"

Cecilia would nod her head at Shiina's request and remove a piece of VC from her pocket. After letting Albrecht and Shiina decide which side they wanted she'd flip it into the air, catch it on the palm of her right hand, and call out the result. Afterward, however, she'd return to her previous silence as she observed the fight closely and carefully.

Coin Flip:

"I don't think i can afford a dinner at a fine restaurant. I suppose that's even more incentive for me to not lose." He stated, stern and flat as ever. He had figured she was just bantering though. With both of his hand, he tightly grasped Lamina Sanctus, the tip pointed at Shiina, holding it just below his chest height.

For a moment his left hand released the sword's handle to pound his chest. A single and prideful laughed followed.

"I always give me all, Battle Sister. It would also be an insult to your capabilities." He replied, there seemed to be a hint of joy in his voice this time. Beneath his helmet he wore a wolfish grin on his face, he was itching to fight now. While Shiina had proved to be an overwhelmingly powerful Persona user, he had yet to see how she fared in melee combat.
"Alright, let's go!"

Albrecht would perform a skip, quickly closing the gap of 2.5 meters between him and landing about a meter away from the Wild Card. From the back of the Knight a pair of beautiful golden wings would sprout and with it his movements had become faster as well. He'd perform a single thrust at chest height before sweeping his sword to the left. The golden wings flapped propelling the knight about half meter away from his rival.

Stuff:

He knight grunted and flinched upon the sword's hill colliding with his helmet, he was unaware her sword could do that, he'd have to keep an eye on her hilt from now on. He landed on the ground and slid for half a meter. He watched Shiina move with his teeth gritted, she was quick as the wind. Were not for the enhancements of his own Soul Skill it would be hard to keep up.

"Damn!" He muttered, she had managed to place herself behind him. Turning around would take a while and it would be risky. So, his golden wings were extended and snapped back at full force trying to compress Shiina between them and disorient her before she had the chance to strike. His wings would immediately return to their resting position. "Barachiel, lend me your strength!" His blade sparked with an intense blue.

His body twirled from right to left so he could turn to the Wild Card, his hands held Lamina Sanctus pointed down, they would bring it up on a diagonal and sweeping motion. The Knight's hands twisted to the opposite direction after completing the move and brought the blade down, following the same diagonal as before while he gave chase to his opponent.

In the case his move failed, Shiina's hit would connect. Causing pain and him to stumble a few steps forward. He'd turn around and use his wings to lift him 8 meters above the ground and quickly back away from Shiina.

Actions:

He expected her to give chase, but instead she just stood there. Doing nothing at all. It was almost taunting him. The knight growled and snarled a bit in response. His wings flapped as he flew forward, charging at Shiina at full speed, he held his grip tight. The knight came to a halt when the horizontal distance between him and Shiina was of about 3 meters. He'd land as fast as he could and assume a high defensive stance.
