Caden could see the concern in his opponents eyes, understandable when fighting someone like him, but Hunter continued to dodge and attack calmly. A pleased grin spread across his face as the metallic rings filled the air, blade against bat smashing together only to bounce apart every time Caden parried. They continued on for a little while in this manner, side stepping here, a swing there... The longer they went, the more excited Caden became, his parries becoming more and more forceful as the distance closed between the opponents. Slowly but surely Caden was decreasing each of their margins for error, attempting to force Hunter into a battle of strengths. Unfortunately for Caden, Hunter was much faster than he. It was his one physical flaw, lacking the same speed as his cabin mates but gaining greater strength in return. Eventually Hunter would figure that point out and use it to his advantage, so Caden decided to end things as quickly as possible. Swiping horizontally from his left to right, Caden aimed his swipe carefully to be close enough to spook Hunter but far enough to ensure that he would miss his head... but only by a few inches. Without waiting for a strike from his opponent, he left little time for reaction by immediately stepping forward with his left foot. Focusing on his strength, he aimed to drive his knee directly into the gut of his sparring partner. Caden might not have been the fastest but this blow wouldn't be easy to recover from, directed at slowing a quicker opponent.
