Explained Seira how things were with vampires joining the military to Lucien. He was a bit surprised, because he expúected around only 20% of the entire race to join the army, but double of that number, 40% was better than his initial expectations.
"How is your progress in the Scythe Ars?"
Asked Lucien about her martial arts. Seira was very talented Scythe user and could be said that she was one of best in the whole Holy Niflheim Empire, though she didn't have there weren't a lot of people who used Scythe, only several of them. His grandfather Azrael was one of them, but sadly he was that type of person who could be said to be a terrible teacher. He was very bad at teaching others and could give only basic instructions about something.
"Good, I am making steady progress with the Scythe Arts, the only thing I lack is some real technique, but still mastering basics of the art is at a higher priority for me for now."
Answered Seira to his question, to which Lucien nodded his head in agreement, as he was also, aware of the fact that there isn't practically any high-level scythe technique to learn for her. Even he himself didn't have any good sword art which suited him and his sword, but he had hope for himself as he heard that in the vaults of the Washuu Clan, they had some superior Kenjutsu Technique, but they didn't use it because of unknown reasons.
"Do you want a spar?"
Seira then nodded her head in the form of agreement to his question and then both of them stood up and went to the training area which was used as sparring and training place. It was very nice and wide space, that could be used to fight.
Even though Lucien wasn't wearing his usual battle attire and was clothed in his normal clothes, he didn't mind. Even though it could get dirty as they were pure white in color, he was confident in his strength so he wouldn't be injured or something. He sensed that Seira was only at Baron Rank and also, she wasn't that huge training and battle maniac as Lucien who spent practically most of her time training of fighting.
Soon, Seira returned, clothed in black battle attire, in which she looked absolutely stunning because the attire itself was in slim style and because she looked even more erotic than usual. She immediately noticed his gaze aimed at her curves and her body, to which she blushed slightly, but she focused on the spar and her eyes started glowing in light red color and her weapon appeared beside her.
The scythe itself was bigger than her, almost two meters in height and blade looked incredibly shard and dangerous. It was pitch black colored scythe with minor gold patterns around the blade. She took the battle stance and waited for Lucien to congeal his own weapon to fight. Lucien as gentleman like he was, turned on his kakugan too, and congealed his kagune katana and held it in his right hand.
"Ladies first."
Siad Lucien in a polite voice as he took a battle stance and prepared to perform Iaijutsu, which was a technique in which one would draw katana in very high speed and strike as fast as possible and then sheath the sword back.
Seira than looked at him, and in a split of second appeared before him, slashing at him with her scythe. Lucien chuckled and with the thunderous speed he drew out his katana, which collided with the scythe, creating sparks in the air, because the force behind the impact was greater than Seira anticipated she almost fell back and this used Lucien to his advantage and appeared behind her with his katana on her neck.
"Good, but you should combine your other abilities with your Scythe Arts to create a better element of surprise and also, you could enhance your combat prowess."
Said Lucien to her as he still held his katana at her neck, only to notice that several blood orbs appeared around him and were flying at him with speed of the light. Apparently, she immediately put his advice into the practice. Lucien thought about using his other kagune, Ukaku to counter the attack, but he didn't want to be too hard on her as he already was superior to her in speed, strength, and endurance because of his superior cultivation base.
He defended against orbs with his katana, and in a meantime, Seira managed to escape from the range of his sword and was in the safe distance from him. The blood orbs ferociously attacked Lucien from all sides and they were too fast, Lucien smiled at this because for him this was rather good training.
With his Celestial Reflexes which were opened with the Eight Celestial Inner Gates Technique when he opened The Gate of Opening, these blood orbs weren't that fast, he still managed to catch them using his superior eyesight.
Seira now decided to use long-distance attacks to fight against Lucien as she noticed that in close-combat she lost to him already, because of large disparities in physical capabilities. To deal with an opponent who was physically stronger was better to attack from a safe distance, and more to say, Scythe wasn't a weapon for close combat, but rather something in middle between long-range and close-combat as the Scythe itself was a huge weapon and was rather unpractical in close combat.
It took several minutes for Lucien to destroy those blood orbs as they were rather hard and pretty though. Their attack power was also, rather high and one could conclude that they were good means of long-ranged attacks. The moment he finished disposing of the last blood orb, Seira who was preparing to strike him, finished her preparations and her scythe was coated in her blood energy she rushed at Lucien at top speed and slashing at him with her scythe with her full power.
