Skyward Sword [Angel]

Ah, so Angel wasn't here for a sword fight, but more for an actual spar? Well as long as no one was seriously injured (and the dojo not wrecked), then it was fine. For now, Kenshin would stick to the wooden sword, to see just how long it took for Angel to make him have to take this spar seriously. He imagined it would not be too long before the wooden sword was rendered useless. Still, if Angel wanted Kenshin to fight with his quirk, then she would need to force him to use it. Only then would the true fight begin.

Kenshin chuckled at the girl's words. "Oh really? Funny, I was about to say the same to you." But now was not the time for banter. It was time to show that the boy was not just all talk. He was more than capable of backing up his words. And with the match starting now, it was time to do just that.

Right away, Angel would charge in with impressive speed. She started with a low leg sweep. Kenshin was more than familiar with this kind of strategy. Make the opponent trip, or make them try to jump and avoid the attack. But with the girl having wings, Kenshin knew that that was probably exactly what Angel was planning for him to do. Try to make him jump to avoid the attack, but then punish him for doing so by striking. The boy grinned. Rather than try and jump out of the way, he would instead roll to the side as quickly as he could, while doing his best to intercept the girl's next attack. If possible, he aimed to counter it.



Kenshin's goal was to use his wooden sword to both block Angel's attack and get in a quick strike, and then follow that up with a quick jab or several. But alas, not everything goes according to plan. Hangeki is by nature a counterattack technique. But with how fast Angel was and how strong her attack was, Kenshin could only just barely protect his shoulder. And immediately afterwards, he heard a cracking sound. Fortunately, it was not the sound of his bone breaking. Unfortunately, it was his wooden sword. Upon a quick glance, there was a noticeable crack on the blade. It was clear that it would not survive a second attack.

"Very good." Kenshin smiled. "I didn't think you'd force my hand so soon. You really are faster and stronger compared to last time. Very well then. Time to match your speed and strength with my own!" He tossed the damaged sword out of the arena. It was time to go all out, just like Angel wanted.

"Henshin!"

The green grid of lines appeared on the surface of Kenshin's body, forming the frame of the boy's armor. Almost immediately after, the red armor itself began to materialize. Once it had finished doing so, Kenshin extended his left arm outward, when the hand began morphing into the red blade of hard light. Grinning, the boy then repeated Angel's earlier words to her. "Just try to keep up, alright?" And then he lunged forward, with his armor providing the boy a boost of speed. He wanted to see how Angel would react to one of his fastest sword techniques.



Kenshin then unleashed a barrage of extremely fast sword jabs. Kōsoku Ken translates to Lightspeed Sword. While the name may be a tab bit of an exaggeration, it was nevertheless very fitting due to the sheer speed of the blade movements. Most opponents had neither the speed nor the reflexes to even react to such a fast technique. Would Angel fare any better in that department? Fortunately for her, even if Kenshin's attacks proved to be too fast to avoid or block in time, she would not get hurt too much by it. After all, while the technique was certainly fast, it lost quite a bit of power for the sake of speed.

Of course, Kenshin was still being cautious. Regardless of whether or not he nailed Angel with his attack, he backed up a bit, getting ready for whatever move Angel decided to throw his way next.
