Jack had trained in swordfighting for nearly his entire life, so he was ready for the first swing. He blocked it and took a step back, his stance defensive.
While he had always excelled when it came to sword fights, he didn't want to hurt this boy and that was going to make this very difficult. He brought his sword up yet again in an attempt to disarm the boy, hoping to be done with this quickly to cut down on the chance of him getting hurt.
