Abilities:
This swift fighter moves at a base speed of 7m/s and 10m/s when sprinting. He carries an old but reliable sword loaned out by the coliseum capable of dealing C-tier cutting damage each blow. He is known for being an evasive counter fighter and can anticipate incoming attack trajectories with his years of skill and experience.
Steadfast Hold ~ A firm defensive stance followed by a striking movement made with the user's shield at 15m/s. This strike aims to clash with an incoming attack before batting it away parrying its trajectory safely away from the user. Capable of blocking up to 1 B-tier ability within a 3m range.
Sliding Board ~ The user anticipates an incoming attack and raises their shield to block it. The user then turns the shield and moves behind it as they allow the attack to slide off the shield harmlessly. The movement to position the shield occurs at a speed of 10m/s and it can be used within a 3m range blocking up to 1 C-tier ability.
Forward Cleave ~ The user leaps forwards up to 10m away from his starting position and slashes violently with his sword in a dowards blow. The slash moves at a speed of 15m/s and the leap 10m/s. If the strike succeeds it will do B-tier cutting damage.
The roar of a crowd poured over Liber Aurelius as he entered the arena battlegrounds and rose a hand to shield his eyes from the contrast of the blazing sun to the damp dark competitor's chamber he'd just spent the last hour in. The young former assassin was here to earn prize money to afford entrance to a ball of sorts where he suspected more of the information he sought could be harvested. But he needed to hide his past as an assassin so Liber resolved to leave his Assassin's Kiss needles behind and challenge the coliseum with nothing but the strong body his fanalis lineage had blessed him with. Looking down at his fist, Liber nodded to himself in confidence before looking up to see his opponent enter at the opposite side of the fighting area.
Another wave of cheers came from the crowd and an excited chanting began, RU! FI! RU! FI! RU! FI! It was clear the man Liber was up against was popular, meanwhile no one even so much as knew his name. The young man's maroon eyes settled on the older looking fighter whom beat his sword against his shield and gestured to the crowd to get louder.
Liber could tell that this man had much more experience in battles than Liber. While it was possible Liber had a higher kill count, the work of assassination made it key to kill without the opponent ever knowing you were there let alone having a chance to fight back. On the other hand, Rufi had likely fought countless head on duels and vicious skirmishes. This would not be an easy bout...
