" 0-21!" Hunk yelled out, " Shiro is in the lead!"

Katie was exhausted and her muscles were sore but she clenched her teeth and looked up at Shiro, " Again."

He sighed, " Okay only one more then you gotta stop."

Shiro walked to his position and waited for Katie to walk to hers.

" Begin! " Hunk yelled out and this time Katie ran to Shiro and kicked at his chest knocking him back a little bit but getting enough time to punch his face before he recovered.

Shiro had enough reflexes to get up quickly after being punched, " Nice Pidge."

He added while wiping blood from his cracked lips that were in the sun too long.

Katie gave a glimpse of a smile before she attacked him again.

Shiro grabbed her arm before she could touch his neck and pinned it so that she could only defend herself with an arm.

" I win....Again." Shiro said and released his grip on her.

Katie stretched her arms and legs and wiped her sweat, " Good spar.."

She collapsed on the ground leaving both boys to think she passed out but she started laughing.

" I guess you really won by 22 wins huh?"

Shiro and Hunk shared a grin and Shiro said to Katie, " Don't worry, you'll get better."

Lance bowed before Keith, " Your Highness, may I have this spar?"

Keith heard no sarcasm so he asked, " Why?"

Lance sighed, " Just wanted to get into the role of a knight, the King thinks I should be your personal guard and almost just gave me the job but I refused and said I needed to earn it."

Keith couldn't help but feel faithful towards Lance's honesty.

" I accept."

They both got wooden swords from the rack and got 10 feet away from each other.

3...2...1..

Keith counted in his head before he and Lance  ran towards the middle to meet.

He strike his chest but Lance blocked it with his sword making contact with Keith's sword.

TWACK -

" Seems like you got better since we were 14." Lance said while Keith glared at him trying to knock the sword out of Lance's hand.

That went on forever until Lance finally released his defense, smirked for a second, and did a back flip so fast that Keith was caught off guard.

Lance quickly pointed the tip of his sword to Keith's chest while he was distracted.

" If I was an enemy, you would've been dead, watch your offending and defending skills." Lance said while Keith growled having heard the same words all the time, 

" I will beat you one day." Keith whispered under his breath.
