Liber VS Rufi Round 1 RR_Arena-Rex-Gladiator-Nameless
Enemy Name: Rufi
Rank: C
Needed damage to take down: 3 C-tier
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...

As the signal for the battle to begin sounded throughout the coliseum there was yet another roar from the crowd which was brimming with anticipation. Liber tried to filter out all the noise, all the movement in the stands, every distraction that had nothing to do with his opponent, but it was a vain effort. Fighting under the gaze of all these people was a first for the young man and he could not help but feel his heart beat heavily and his mind become dulled by the pressure of the people and this new experience. Noticing the amateur's hesitation, Rufi grinned and took a low stance before charging forwards running at first before transitioning into a sprint. Liber saw the man and noticed his movements, but found himself at a loss of how to react to this man charging at him with a shield raised. Rufi's sword was out of sight, hidden behind the shield and Liber knew not how to proceed even as the distance between them became dangerously smaller each passing second.

Liber's fanalis instincts eventually kicked in driving a primal feeling up from the depths of his body. The blood running through Liber's veins would seem to boil as a hot rush flowed through his limbs and willed them into action. Letting out a battle cry, Liber kicked off the ground and charged forwards the meet Rufi head on. The Fanalis legs carried Liber into a sprint as well and as the gap between them swiftly closed Liber leapt into the air and spun his body performing a spinning kick. The blow would have landed cleanly on Rufi's chin if his shield hadn't come up to defend against the attack. When the older fighter's wooden defense moved to the side to absorb the impact of the kick his devilish grin was revealed to Liber just in time for him to realize his mistake but it was already too late. Rufi's sword struck forwards like a spear and stabbed Liber in the abdomen. Midair, the fanalis could do nothing but shift his body slightly so the stab would miss vital organs but he took the blade for a shallow bleeding puncture wound.

As Liber landed both he and Rufi jumped back from each other as if they were mirrors of one another, but only for a second would they move the same. Following the mutual retreat there was a drastic difference between the two men's standing. Liber was holding his wound glaring at his opponent whilst he put pressure on his injury to try and keep the blood at bay. Rufi on the other hand was not even looking at Liber. Instead, the man turned his attention to the crowd and began beating his shield with his sword to work them up. The loudest round of cheering yet bellowed through out the arena and Liber realized why this man was a crowd favorite. He didn't just fight for entertainment, he entertained while he fought.

Rufi's encouragement towards the crowd seemed to leave him open to a surprise attack. Not wanting to let his opportunity pass by, Liber lowered his stance and then kicked off of the ground once more. His fanalis leg muscles flexed and explosively pulsed with strength as Liber propelled himself forward. Rufi should have seen him by now but the fighter was still waving to the audience, perhaps he was distracted! Or so Liber thought. The fanalis fighter approached with a clenched fist and performed a running right hook. Rufi wasn't caught off guard however and turned at the last moment with a Steadfast Hold that batted Liber's fist away with ease. Rufi quickly followed up with another stab but this time Liber would not be so easily surprised and the red haired man turned as he side stepped in order to avoid being stabbed once more.

As Liber circled around to Rufi's shield side he performed a high kick. As expected, Rufi blocked the attack with his shield once more but this time the impact had a solid line of force that was difficult to absorb and still counter attack. No follow up stab came as Rufi's body was pushed backwards forcing him to take two retreating steps. Liber followed up the attack by putting more pressure on the human with a three hit combo all aimed for the man's shield rather than himself. With each blow the force pushing Rufi backwards would increase little by little. First a sharp elbow strike, then left straight, finished off with a forward kick as though Liber were trying to kick down a door.

The last attack in the combo succeeded in blowing Rufi's guard open, but where his shield had failed, a fine blade floated ready defensively to take its place. Liber had stepped in and began to perform another punch but halted at the last second in face of the swords sharp edge and he made it a feint instead. Rufi moved to intercept the punch but found himself raising his sword up needlessly as Liber suddenly ducked low and performed a sweep kick. Rufi took the blow cleanly and his left ankle suffered a fracture from the hit. Liber jumped off the ground and away from Rufi but the experienced fighter refused to let the flow go in Liber's rhythm. Performing a Forward Cleave Rufi leapt forwards and attempted the slash Liber's torso, but the fanalis had been waiting for such an action. A Graceful Sway would carry Liber off to the side dodging Rufi's slash just in time.

The human tried to turn after Liber with another sword swing, but the blade fell short of just how far Liber's movement had taken him. Rufi cut empty air and then dropped to one knee as he tried putting weight on his fractured ankle. Letting out another battle cry, Liber leapt forwards and drove his knee into Rufi's face damaging his nose and forcing a concussion in the process. Rufi fell backwards and began bleeding profusely a the crowd went silent. Liber looked around a bit nervous feeling as though he'd done something wrong and then after a pause, rose his fist into the air as if to declare his victory. The crowd went wild and began cheering like mad. It didn't matter that a crowd favorite had lost if it meant there would be a new young upstart fighter with a promising future.
