As Clad walks around, he sees a really big park and decides to take a small break there.
As he sat on a bench, he looked at the calm, dark blue scenery and the small lake before something else caught his attention. He saw a man with purple hair, pale skin, black clothes with a red bead necklace, a white coat on top of his clothing, and a sword, walk towards him.
?
"Is that guy a resident of the area?" He thought as his walking pattern became odd.
"Why is he walking directly towards me?"
"Is he going to ask me something?"
Clad noticed that it was pretty weird for someone to walk straight towards him, as he noticed that they were the only two in the park, his tone changed, more serious and ready for whatever came his way.
"What do you want?" Clad asked him.
"Don't take it too personally, man, but I'm getting paid to kill intruders."
"So you are going to die here." He replied as he unsheathed his sword with speed Clad has never seen before.
!!?
Clad rapidly unsheathed his blade before the mysterious man swung his blade at him, with Clad barely successfully blocking the attack as he jumped away from the bench and positioned himself for the upcoming fight.
"This guy is fast."
"Although, why is he looking over there?" Clad wondered as the man stood completely motionless, when, unexpectedly, a bird chirped, making him turn directly towards the source of the sound as he held his blade. Clad realized something that could be crucial for the fight.
"Is he...blind?"
To confirm his speculation, he took a step forward, and as he thought, the man reacted instantly, dashed to him at an unimaginable speed, swinging his blade at him as purple lightning followed. Although fast, Clad still managed to block the swift attack.
CLANG!
Upon hearing the blades clash, the blind man chuckled as he spoke.
"Heh, a duel of blades, it's been a while since I had one."
"I hope you won't disappoint me!"
