Private Finished Quit following me

William very nearly stopped the fight and sprinted in Honua's direction as the fireball hit her in the shoulder, but his fear stopped him. His eyes widened and a chill flew down his spine as she kept dodging the fireballs. Her body changed to some kind of metal and she stopped a fireball with her hands.

It was then that William faced another dilemma. Although he was very much concerned for Honua's shoulder, he know what kind of person she was. It was obvious that she didn't like being pitied, and she also didn't like feeling she was unable to handle the situation. That much was obvious from the encounter with Matthew. However, the more caring side of Will (which was most of him) was conflicting with this thought process, and it caused him simply freeze for a few seconds.

After those seconds, he made up his mind and redirected his attention to his opponent. "I'm... I'm sorry!" he called out. "I thought you would be able to dodge them." He quickly scolded himself after saying those words, as he realized she might take it as teasing. "You can... have a free hit on me if you'd like."

@Honua

Will breathed a deep sigh of relief. Even though he was the one that offered a free blow, he had been kind of hoping that Honua wouldn't actually do it. If he was being honest with himself, he didn't think that his roommate was the type of person to be honorable. Nevertheless, he just barely kept himself from smiling after seeing her own smile. He wanted to take this seriously from then on.

However, Will very nearly panicked when Honua went for a kick. He had to force himself to remember what to do, and decided to take one large leap backwards. She was certainly fast, which caused Will to realize he would be at a disadvantage in this fight. Thinking quickly, Will used his super strength to launch himself at her, aiming as kick at her arm.

Will had overestimated his own strength. He had fully expected Honua to be caught off guard by the speed at which he jumped, but she had sidestepped it with ease. He didn't have enough time to fully turn around after landing, so he ended up getting punched in the back. Using the force of the punch, he quickly jumped a considerable distance and turned around to face his opponent.

It was now obvious to Will that speed wasn't a problem for his roommate, and based on the smarting pain in his back, strength wasn't, either. After a few seconds of thinking, he decided that he would have to use his wings. He had only ever used them against opponents that could fly, but he figured that the added speed would be of great help in this situation.

Trying not to make it too obvious that he was concentrating, Will slightly tensed his body, and seconds later, flaming wings materialized on his back. Wasting no time, Will launched himself forward using the added speed from his wings. However, instead of going in for another direct attack, he forced himself to stop right in front of Honua, creating a strong gust of wind. He then twisted around and aimed a kick at her abdomen.

Sorry for the late replies. Studying for the midterms is a pain.

Will gasped as he watched Honua hit the wall. He nearly ran to her aid, but quickly reminded himself that this was a sparring match and that she would appreciate it more if he just went with it. Fortunately, she stood up, seeming fine, but unfortunately, her body had turned to metal and she had a hard glint in her eyes. It sent a chill down Will's spine, but he stood his ground as she charged.

When she leapt at him, he dodged to the right with the help of his wings. The swing only narrowly missed his body, and he had to curl one of his wings to make sure it didn't touch Honua. After stumbling a bit, he flew backwards, allowing himself a few extra seconds to catch his breath.

Wasting no more time, Will once again flew directly towards Honua. However, when he was only a few feet in front of her, he kicked his feet into the ground and flew directly upwards. He then made his wings disappear and landed behind her, taking a swing at her (while holding back ever so slightly).

@Honua

Will hadn't expected to be attacked from behind, and thus ended up not protecting his front. He was hit in both the back of his knee and his chest, causing him to simply fall flat on his back. He quickly rolled over and shot to his feet, and for good measure he created a ring of fire around himself to prevent her from getting too close while he recovered.

Will could feel himself slowly getting back into the swing of things, and a result, confidence started setting in. He approached again, slower this time, and formed fireballs on his hands. He went back to his original strategy of lobbing fireballs, but this time he purposely missed her. He threw fireballs to the right and left of her so that he could have some control over where she moved as he approached.

After a few seconds of doing this, Will abruptly stopped and charged Honua. He prepared his body as if he was going to jump, but ended up sliding at the last second, aiming to trip her up.
