Chapter 124: Siblings(Part 1)
"Come on, Vice-Commander, you can do a lot better than that. Water is supposed to put out fire," Called out Jules, as she evaded an incoming slash of water, before driving her sword forward and unleashing a fierce blast of flames from the tip of her blade.
Siele quickly sprang back and raised a wall of water in front of himself, a sharp hiss ringing out as a massive cloud of steam burst out upon impact, beads of sweat running down the sides of Siele’s face as the steam surrounded him.
He then raced away to his right as he spotted a fiery glow zipping in towards him through the steam, evading it before his eyes widened in alarm as Jules burst out of the steam and appeared right in front of him.
He crossed his blades in front of himself defensively as she swung her sword down towards him, a sharp clang ringing out before he fell over with a startled yelp as Jules swept his feet, knocking him off-balance.
As his left shoulder hit the ground with a thud, he let out a groan before sighing as Jules pointed the tip of her blade in front of his face.
"You still have a lot of room for improvement. You should have an advantage against me with it comes to our Spells, all you need to do is put out my flames with your water," Frowned Jules, as she stepped back and swung her blade across.
"E-Easy for you to say, sis-...I mean, Commander. Your flames are way too hot to douse with any ease, and even if I do put them out, there’s always a ton of steam afterwards, which obstructs me," He replied as he got back onto his feet.
"It’s important to work on strengthening your areas of weakness when you discover them, so keep working on it. Our Royal blood gives us tremendous potential, it’s our responsibility to make sure that we fully realize that potential. Taking it for granted would send the wrong message to our subordinates, that potential and talent outweigh hard work. Well, anyway, let’s wrap things up for today, it’s getting late," Sighed Jules, as she sheathed her sword and stretched her arms up.
"Yeah, okay. And I’ll keep everything you said in mind, sis."
"That’s Commander-..."
"But we’re done for the day, right? So, we’re not on duty right now."
