Remnants anomaly

Leon was sparring with genesis topless when the first ship carrying the students from vacuo arrived. leon's act of publicly wrestling with genesis served two purposes , first was to show off for the foreigners and the second was because much like leon himself genesis always looked for a challenge in combat. every familiar was summoned based off of what the person needed most at the time but genesis was practically identical to leon in personality. the only difference was the one thing leon desperately needed when he summoned genesis originally but got due to the events of the pest control operation , indifference.

Genesis simply didn't care what others thought of him or his actions and minus when leon tells him otherwise does whatever he wants. this most was fighting the goliaths that lived near the borders of the kingdom. these grim were several story tall elephantine creatures that waited patiently for the chance to kill the people living in the kingdom. they were strong enough to cause serious damage if they were to attack but since the leaders of the herd were centuries old they also knew the grim who did that got killed the most.

Genesis was a battle junky much like leon and as a result the goliath had been targeted for extermination by him. leon has seen the dragon come back at night with serious wounds more than once but genesis knew better than to fight until he died so it wasn't a problem. genesis knew that leon could physically contend with him and insisted on sparring every now and then. leon had simply took advantage of this to show off for the foreigners. genesis was careful not to injure leon with his claws as doing so would expose the fact that leon both had a very weak shield and hyper regeneration.

It was little surprise that the two of them had drawn a crowd to watch them spar mostly out of curiosity at the fearsome dragon that was at the docks sparring with it's partner. the general public knew about the familiars that had been summoned by this years freshmen thanks to whoever it was that kept live streaming leon's lessons. till now however none had personally seen any of the familiars so everyone was curious about them. more than a few people were terrified of genesis because of his looks but most of the publics opinion was positive.

The rules for this public showing was very clear as it was to first solid hit that was not blocked. this led to leon and genesis clashing knuckle to knuckle in a resounding manner. thanks to his mid level four body leon didn't need to shield his fist during this part of the spar. leon was physically weaker than genesis but considering he was an elder dragon that was to be expected. still despite this leon only needed to adjust his footing to compensate for the extra force behind each of genesis's punches.

Both of them were skilled fighters however and it showed as they parried and clashed each of the varied attacks sent at them. genesis was fond of using feints in all of his attacks while leon was more of a redirection and control type fighter. this showed with leon seemingly on the defense all the time but only those with a good amount of skill noticed that genesis was slowly being pushed into a corner as leon invaded his personal space. leon's style was precisely about forcing his opponents to make a mistake before ending the fight the instant they do.

Genesis lost this round of sparring as he panicked and went for a wide swing that overextended his reach. leon capitalized on this with a soft hooked uppercut to his chin while genesis was trying to recover. genesis snorted in irritation at the loss but cheered up at the applause that the crowd gave the two of them. as an elder dragon genesis was innately prideful so having a strong partner who was applauded did wonders for inflating his ego. leon's purpose for this display was completed since he could see the foreign students amongst the crowd looking at him in awe thanks to his sharingan.
