Chapter 374: Sparring
With the announcement of a new emperor the entire hall was abuzz with excitement. It was huge news for everyone as they where all nobles who lived in the capital for centuries.
It was a good thing that the Baidu, Daedalus' grandfather, had been shadowing Ceridwen and learning everything since the beginning. The only time he hadn't been learning or shadowing was when he was cultivating.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the announcement was made Baidu said only one thing "Please, enjoy the banquet!"
And so everyone did as he asked, except a few arrogant people who stuck up their noses at his words. Daedalus and his father took this as an opportunity to see who would need to be cleansed. So weirdly enough a few of them felt a cold chill run down their spines.
Over the course of a few hours the banquet slowly grew louder and more boisterous, clearly due to the alcohol. Daedalus had rejoined the elite's table and made a friend. The friend was surprisingly enough Fire himself.
They had one thing in common, that of course being, love for battle. So they made an agreement to meet in a training courtyard for some light sparring after the banquet ended. The only issue with this was that there was a second banquet afterward where they would be meeting the dwarven elites.
A couple more hours passed and the Elven banquet finally came to a close. Most of the carefree nobles where laid out on the ground or on the tables while the more stuck up or serious nobles showed disdainful looks.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
As there was a second banquet starting in a couple hours Daedalus and Fire had to rush to get to the training yard for there spar. Daedalus and fire arrived at a training yard with only an hour of time for their sparring they, as battle maniacs, felt regret at this but sparred nonetheless.
As they had been at a banquet just before the two where dressed nicely so they had to change into something more comfortable for fighting. Luckily they had prepared extra sets as the second banquet was supposed to include sparring as well.
A short while later the two where where simple leather shirts and shorts that gave the bare minimum of mobility. It was an idea they had come up with to make the fight end faster. This was because it would force them to rely more on blocking attacks than dodging as the armour got in their way.
Standing at opposite ends of the training yard Daedalus and Fire both said "Ready!"
With them both ready the two charged at each other, Daedalus being slightly faster. Arriving in front of each other Daedalus threw a punch towards Fires chest. Fire didn't even bother trying to dodge or block and instead punched at Daedalus left shoulder.
Fire was the first to land a hit which caused Daedalus' attack to veer off course and into Fires right shoulder. Fire who took the punch was pushed back and stumbled from the exchange while Daedalus took a step back.
Clearly Daedalus' had the upper hand in strength and endurance. Playing on this the two continued to exchange blows, be they kicks or knees, even elbows. Eventually Daedalus managed to land a solid blow on Fire's chest knocking the air out of him.
Daedalus offered a hand to the downed Fire who excepted. The two then got dressed and walked back to the palace while talking about the spar.
