Sure, Why Not (P, NK, EL y Aqua)

Aqua would accept the nod as approval to go drop off his things at the hotel. He would watch El rush out of the room in excitement and happiness. He would pay his dues for the food and then find his way to his inn. This was going to be fun. He thought of it as an oppurtunity to see the strengths and great feats that this village has, and with his students too. Not too long ago Aqua himself was a student and was training with people in the village. Not only that he knew the desire that some people have to be great and do great things with themselves, so it was of course going to be an interesting match.

When he got to the inn he would drop off all of his armor and weapons there and go straight to the facility. When he go in he would go to the center of the building and see El had already gotten there and was beginning to stretch out. When he got there he would wave towards him and usher him to come closer to him so that they can chat. It was about time to get this show on the road.

El continued to stretch and loosen up his muscles for the spar between himself and Aqua, which should prove to sharpen the mind and skills of the young knight. After a while he would look around before catching sight of Aqua as he motioned for El to come over to him, he would shrug slowly and walk over to him to see what he had required of him," Yes? Did you want to set some rules and conditions for our duel or was there something else you wanted to tell me?," he would wait for Aqua to speak before saying anything although he was quite curious on what the ninja would have to say before a spar.

Well. To be quite fair I left all of my items at the inn to make sure that I did not hurt you at all. I have no kunai on me either at the moment. If you don't either then we can just do hand to hand combat. I will only use nutshell that you yourself use in this fight. Deal?"

Aqua would say this to el before theybegan to lay the ground rules od the fight out. If he agreed then he would go to the edge of the facility and be about a meter away from the waterfall. If el would do the same at the other end of the facility and had no objections then he would tell the boy"whenever you are readyEl"

(To be clear for fighting purposes the room is a circle. The diameter of the room we are in at the facility is 25 meters. Sorry for typos if any doing this from my tablet. )

El nodded to Aqua's terms and conditions seeing as they were not only fair but fitting of a spar between two noble men. Raising his hand for a moment he would point out to a couple of sticks that were at last six feet long and perfect to be used as swords, El quickly walked over to them and handed one to Aqua," I think this would benefit me better Ser Aqua...seeing as i am currently being trained in the way of the sword i think it would be better for us to engage with these...if you do not mind changing the rules for engagement a bit. So if you are okay with Taijutsu and Kenjutsu that will be good for the both of us," of course if Aqua agreed to this, El would put the distance between the two of them at five meters.

Looking around the room for a minute he would try to memorize the range and distance of himself from the walls as he took one deep breath and nodded, commencing the spar by running at Aqua at his maximum speed (5) in an attempt to reach Aqua's right side and use the stick to perform a horizontal strike at his shoulders, and if Aqua managed to block his strike he would drop low and perform a sweep kick before jumping back.

Aqua would take the sword and nod in approval before he went to his starting location 5 meters away from Aqua, facing him, with his stick in his right hand. As soon as El would run towards Aqua would run forward towards his opponent as well (speed of 10) slightly faster than el, with his hand holding his stick (facing towards the sky) at shoulder length tucked in so that it was close to his body.  He would run so as soon as he would get into range he would launch his stick towards El's left shoulder. If El would continue with his path he would find that he would get hit before he hit El, seeing as though he was faster than him. The idea was to see if El would go for the hit or the block.

As El went in for the strike he did not notice the test that Aqua was setting up for him, but at the current moment he would continue on his current course towards his opponent. As he had finally came closer he would notice the attack that Aqua was preparing and in his mind came the thought to just parry and go for the shoulder rush, but El did not know what to expect from his opponent. Taking another deep breath he would slide to a stop and parry Aqua's strike as a form of defense before shoulder rushing him at full speed [5] hoping to catch Aqua off guard. If the strike was successful, El would then slide in for a small strike to Aqua's left side. It wasn't an attack to hurt him instead it was a simple tap to show that he had been hit. The spar so far had put a small smile on El's face for the simple fact that he was having fun although this was the kid in him speaking, he could not help but have a little sparring fun.

Aqua would allow the attack to hit. When he finished he would step back to his starting position and reply with the smile if nothing else happened.

"Good job, you blocked the attack and then went for the counter. Good idea. but know that in a real fight i would have used my agility to attempt to block your attack. If you are ready we should go again, but this time i'm not going to let you do that unless you deserve it. are you ready?" He would ask the student, if he replied he would usher him to go back to this starting position and have him start the new fight.

El would look at Aqua as he began to praise him for his good hit, but also gave him a bit of a lecture on making sure he was good enough to strike his opponent. It was his first spar with someone outside of his family so he did not know what to expect, but now he would nod in affirmation as he gripped the stick slowly and took a deep breathe. It would seem that Aqua was faster than he lead on to be and was only lowering it to match up with his own speed which in a sense had hurt his pride a little bit, but knowing that soon he would be even stronger, El would smile and begin to smile as he ran towards Aqua. The attack this time would come towards his right, but as El became closer to Aqua he would switch directions and attack from the left. His aim would be towards his leg to see if he would dodge or not, but he would also keep his eyes on his opponent to make sure he did not get out of reach.

Aqua would easily be able to see how he changed the aim of his sword. It was an attempt to deceive the young man and show him his adaptability. No matter once he was in range Aqua would move his sword at double speed to block the attack by swinging his sword down so that it would arrive at the blocking position just beside his right leg (seeing as though El is coming from his left now i assume) only a few moments before Els attack. This was to see if El could react fast enough to make a third change in trajectory. If he was able to do so then he would dodge or block accordingly.

The fight between the two ninja was starting to become either a battle of wits or maybe Aqua was testing his resolve and strength through various trails which either way EL knew he had to pass them to show that Suna's Knight was strong. As he continued to come in with his previous strike he would begin to notice Aqua's wooden sword appear near his intended target which was now less than a couple of feet from him. Knowing that he had little time to switch his angling with the sword he would instead use his left hand while sliding to maneuver himself towards the left of Aqua. The way El had achieved this action was through using the strength in his legs to change the trajectory in his speed and move his body in the opposite direction while using his arm as a rudder to switch his body's positioning.

With the following movements he was about to attempt to strike Aqua but stopped a few feet short before jumping back and sticking the wooden sword into the ground providing he could. His eyes would look towards Aqua for a moment as he took notice of his form which in his opinion never changed or waned...it was as calm as water and that made him awfully curious," Say Aqua...how is it that your form never changes or moves...but it is always so calm and steady? Your way of fighting is indeed interesting and i would like to know more about it if you have the time," El was getting more and more interesting in this strange foreigner and was soon thinking that it was a good thing that he met him.
