Date Pending
James had woken up that day full of energy. Getting his things, he made his way fairly early to the sparring grounds of the military. Soon, he was on the field, practicing his combat skills on a simple dummy; he only had his shield and sword with a few sparse pieces of weighted armor, to get him used to the weight again. Soon, he was getting back into the motions, slowly working out his energy on the dummy. It wasn't too late in the morning, but he knew that soon there would be a few units getting their own daily practice in. Secretly, he envied them for having an official unit, but that wasn't the matter. He just kept on striving to be the best he could be, stabbing and slashing at the dummy he was presented with.
I will meet one someday...and that day will either be the best or worst day of my life.

James would soon hear marching aproach him, the sound of lightly or not at all armored soldiers coming to train. Among them was Lucas, sword still sheathed on his right hip. A group of Pathfinders came through the door, and saw James training on his own. The officer leading the group spoke.
"Must be doing extra training. We're sparring today, soldiers." He then proceeded to call out to James "Soldier, attention!" And when James reacts, he'd motion him to come over.
I am a Pathfinder. I will do what everyone else thinks below him, because someone must do it. Call me dishonorable for it all you want. I serve justice, not honor. And Demacia, ofcourse.

James didn't pay much attention until he was called out for. Turning around and standing at attention, he then walked over to the lieutenant and saluted him. "Sir, yes sir! You called?"

"Soldier, these pathfinders will be sparring today, however, if you count us, we have an odd number of soldiers. Perhaps you would be so inclined to join us today?"

James nodded. "Yes sir. Can't learn through hitting a dummy." He drew his sword and stood at attention besides the lieutenant. "Just direct me and I'll follow through, sir."

The Lieutenant smiled. "Well that's settled then. Brightshield! This will be your opponent! "
Lucas saluted, said: "Yes sir.", and then drew his sword with his left hand, walked up to James, and spoke. "Let's get going."

James nodded. "Lets." He spun his sword in his right hand once, standing with his shield in front of him in a stalwart position. While he didn't move to attack just yet, he did inch towards Lucas slowly.

After getting into the pit, Lucas drew his shield from his back and put it on his right arm. "On your guard." He spoke, as an attempt to indicate the fight started.
As he spotted James inching in, he proceeded to get in a defensive stance. Shield forward, sword obscured behind it, standing on the tip of his right foot while his left foot was far to the back. Lucas was not planning on making the first strike.

James smirked slightly. "I fear that one of us must strike first." He took a step with his right foot forwards as if to lunge for Lucas, but then stepped again with his left, swinging his shield towards him with a blow he could block fairly easily, his other arm ready to parry with his sword. For now, he was just testing Lucas to see how he fought.

"Indeed."
As James feinted a lunge, Lucas moved his shield slightly more center. When he swung his shield, Lucas' right foot went flat and he swung his shield back, to block his bash. He would then follow up by lunging towards James' sword hand shoulder.

James deftly pushed Lucas's sword slightly to the side with his own, causing it to merely graze his shoulder. In a circular motion carried on from that, he tried to strike towards Lucas's midriff, which had been exposed by his attempt to block his shield bash.

Lucas quickly reacted by stepping back with his left foot while turning away from the sword, making the sword thrust infront of him. While he's doing that, he thrusts forward his shield in an attempt to knock away his sword. After the attack was dealt with, he'd try to push James back while taking a step backwards, to open the space.

James fell back slightly as Lucas disengaged. He banged on his shield once with his sword before starting to circle around Lucas, a surprisingly calm look on his face. "Fairly good defense. I'd expect better from a royal, though." He said flatly. After a moment, he stepped forwards in a lunge, bringing his sword down in a sweeping motion towards Lucas.

Lucas rolled his eyes when he heard the word "royal". Another one... great
Lucas struck upward and parried the strike with his sword, before rapidly taking two steps to his left with his shield raised, while pulling back his sword slightly, preparing for a strong thrust.

As Lucas would thrust, James would step out of the way, catching his balance from the deflected blow. When he caught his footing, he would then hold his shield in front of him, holding his sword posed to strike besides it. He would force Lucas to attack this time; counter attacking was more his territory.
