If your teacher at the academy could see this, he’d certainly give you the biggest earful of your life. Oh well, you were here now, and there was nothing to it but to pummel the Morfisian until he surrendered. In an instant, he closes the gap on you, scimitar flashing from the light of the setting sun.
>Nestor: 18 STR + 7 (Scimitar) = 25 ATK - 19 DEF = (Roll: 65, No Crit) 6 DMG (Tristain: 44/50 HP)>Adept (Roll: 28, Fail)You pull your head back as Nestor’s scimitar flashes by, leaving a scratch across the bridge of your nose that hurts about as much as a bee sting. Cocking your fist back, you launch a blow across Nestor’s face that sends the Swordmaster’s head snapping back.
>Tristain: 25 STR - 12 DEF = 13 DMG (Nestor: 27 HP)Grinning, showing a row of bloody teeth, Nestor does not back down. He strikes at you again. This time though, his attack is far too quick for even you to see. You instinctively hold out an armored arm to block the attack, only for Nestor to divert his strike at the last minute. His blade finds the inside of your guard, and lashes out several times at one of your armor’s weak points near your armpit. A torrent of blood soon follows.
>Nestor: 18 STR + 7 (Scimitar) = 25 ATK - 19 DEF = (Roll: 17, Crit, x3) 18 DMG (Tristain: 26/50 HP)>Adept (Roll: 27, Fail)You stagger back as the onlookers from the brothel cheer loudly. It was clear that you were hurt, and that from their point of view, Nestor had landed the decisive blow of the battle. As you tense up, trying to regain your composure from that attack, you look up to see that Nestor also believes this fight to be over. He holds his sword over his head, waving to the crowd and bowing dramatically. In fact, he hardly seems to be paying any attention to you at all, the cocky little bastard.
>A): Finish him off with a one-two punch, courtesy of your Crest>B): Attack Nestor with your magic>C): You won’t use your magic nor your Crest. You’ll settle this with just your hands.>D): Surrender. This was a pointless endeavor. He could have Elric.>E): Write-in
