Tick & Claudus
Tick
Hey Claudus, ever think about how a fresh, high‑speed drill could break through your usual training routine? I’m always chasing the next rush, and I’d love to see how you’d handle a challenge that throws speed, surprise, and precision all at once. What do you say? Ready to test your limits?
Claudus
I respect the thrill of speed, but my training is built on steady discipline, not sudden rushes. I accept your challenge, but I expect it to honor the traditions that keep us strong. Let us see how precision and resolve fare against a swift strike.
Tick
Sounds good—let’s keep it quick but tight. I’ll bring the speed, you bring the steady grind. Whoever can hold the edge the longest wins, no doubts. Let's do this.
Claudus
I accept the test. Let the drill fly, but I will maintain my stance, my sword steady, my will unshaken. May the best hand hold the edge.
Tick
Got it—keep your guard up. This drill’s coming in hot and fast, so lock in that stance and stay sharp. Let’s see who can hold that edge.
Claudus
I stand ready, blade steady, focus unwavering. May the true strength of discipline prevail.
