Axel stared at Kinsey for a few seconds yet he didn't answer her question immediately. Instead, he asked one of his own.
"Why? Why do you want to spar with me?"
Kinsey tilted her head slightly, as if the question amused her. Around them, students were already pairing up.
"Why not?" she replied.
"Last session, your mean acquaintance, Nile chose me. Now you're doing the same thing. That's very suspicious."
"First up, she's not my acquaintance. She's not even my friend... secondly, I just want to spar with someone on the same level as me"
Axel nodded slowly. "Right... still suspicious." He said.
"You sound nervous... are you scared of sparring with a girl?"
Axel exhaled slowly because he knew exactly what she was doing. She was baiting him.
Rick glanced between the two of them, already sensing trouble, but Axel didn't look at him. Axel looked at Kinsey and saw the challenge in her eyes.
