Longwei sighed, stood up slowly, and started walking towards Lai. He moved with a lazy slouch that somehow felt dangerous.
"So, what is your name?" asked Lai as he shifted his feet, getting into a serious attacking stance.
"Long- yeah, Long."
"Nice meeting you, Long."
Lai rushed with a full swing, putting his waist and shoulders into the blow. The staff whistled through the air, and hit nothing. Lai blinked his eyes in confusion. The place where Longwei had been standing a fraction of a second ago was empty now.
"Over here," signaled Longwei from directly behind him.
Lai spun around, startled. "When did you- That's quite the speed you possess, Long. Are you a Speed Venerable?" he asked, swiftly resetting his guard. His eyes darted around, calculating. "But qi shouldn't be working around here," he muttered to himself.
He rushed once more. And once again, he found his eyes widening in shock as Longwei disappeared from his vision and reappeared behind him.
