"Hi! I was just passing by," Luna said awkwardly.

"Come join us," Tank invited. "Do you want to spar?"

Her body was tired from the dungeon runs, but she still had energy left for a spar. "Sure. I'm game."

Tank laughed. "That's the spirit. Everyone, this is Luna. She would've been your fellow member, but another guild got to her first."

Luna drew her sword. Her heart was beating fast. She never imagined getting a chance to spar with the Knights Alliance guildmaster Tank! She embraced the excitement of battle and friendly matches.

"Ready, Luna?" he asked.

Luna smirked. "Ready when you are."

Tank launched an attack first, which she countered right away using her reflexes. He was quick to follow it up with a series of attacks, all of which Luna managed to counter. She realized Astrid's crazy training regimen greatly sharpened her reflexes.

He was impressed by her skill. "Not bad, Luna."

Tank's attacks were slower compared to most swordsmen, but were powerful. Next was to test how she fared against his hardest hits. Luna blocked his next attack with her sword, doing her best to counter the downward force that was pushing against her. With all her strength, she prevented the sword from pushing down any further.

Suddenly, she heard a familiar voice. "Hi Luna!"

Luna's concentration immediately disappeared in a flash. The sword came down at her, but she parried it to the left to keep it from landing a hit on her. By luck, she managed to dodge Tank's follow-up blow.

"What are you doing, Luna?" Amelie asked.

"Amelie! I'm in the middle of sparring!" Luna shouted back.

Amelie placed her hands on her hips. "It's Chris! Why won't you call me Chris?"

"I thought you were asleep at the base!"

"Oh it's Tank. Hi Tank! Why are you fighting?"

"Hi Amelie. It's a friendly match," Tank replied.

Astrid showed up behind Amelie. "I apologize for the disturbance my guild manager has caused. Please excuse us." She used her stun skill to immobilize Amelie and drag her away.

"Wait. I still want to talk some more!" Amelie said as she was being dragged away.

Tank stopped attacking and just laughed. "Your friends are funny."

"Yeah..." Luna laughed nervously.

"Your technique is good, Luna. You just need to work on keeping your concentration. In battle, getting distracted could cost you your life. Never keep your eyes off your opponent."

"Got it. Thanks for the advice. Your blows were really strong, you know?"

He grinned. "Thanks. Even if you're set on a tank build, you can use equipment to compensate for your low attack." He opened his inventory and pulled out a card. "Here. Equip this on your sword. It adds an extra 5% to your critical hit rate."

Luna took the card. "Are you sure I can have it? This card looks expensive!"

"Yeah. Keep it and use it."

She grinned happily. "Thank you so much!"

"Hey Tank, you're being awfully nice to that girl," his fellow guildmember teased him.

Suddenly, the atmosphere became awkward. Luna quickly thought of something to say, "I have to go meet up with my guild members now. Thank you for the spar and the card!" She waved and ran.
