"Let me check."
Orion spoke as he moved towards his son with a concerned look on his face but then, with a sudden burst of energy, Vaan lunged at his father, attempting to catch him off guard and aiming at his eyes.
A deadly attack that would for sure take away Orion's vision for this battle.
Yes, it was all a feint.
Vaan was trying to fool Orion in order to win.
However, Orion's instincts were razor-sharp. He sidestepped Vaan's attack effortlessly and he then moved his leg in front of Vaan's leg, causing him to lose his balance and fall flat on his face.
*Thud*
"…"
"…"
The room fell silent.
Feeling the weight of his failed attempt at deception, Vaan didn't move. He was embarrassed and was ready to hear another round of bashing from his father, but then,
"That was good. I am impressed."
Orion praised.
"Huh…?"
Vaan blinked.
