En Garde
"En garde!"
The two fencers then went into their fighting stance, their swords pointed towards each other.
"Prets?!"
Anticipation running within. Fencing is one of the most mental of all sports, it needs mental acuity and agility. A chess on your feet, using a weapon. The mental demands of competitive fencing require strong control over mind, body and emotion, and any fencer wishing to win under fire needs calmness, poise and mental toughness.
"Allez!" Upon hearing the referee say the word, the two fencers bolted out of their spots, and ran towards each other.
Two people, the other much smaller than her opponent, however. As the smaller opponent approached, she lunged forward with a jump, and hit her opponent in the chest. The light and buzzer sounding on her side, indicating that the score was hers. Afterwards, she slipped, and fell knees on the floor, due to floor's slippery friction, and inertia.
"Riposte!" the referee announced, as Annabelle struggled to get up, and removed her helmet, panting, trying to catch her breath. Sweat beading her forehead.
Applause were heard as the scoring was made.
"Not bad for someone who hasn't fenced for a long time." her larger opponent said, as he took off his helmet, and approached her. "Are you alright Annabelle? Don't force yourself if you're not feeling well."
"I'm fine Ed, I'm fine..." she said, as she tried to catch her breath.
She watched as other fencers practised with other opponents, "I think they want their turn." she said, seeing some of them, eager for their turn, wanting to use the electronic equipment.
"Sit this one out..." Ed said, as he tapped her on her shoulders
"Yes... I will" she said as she removed the body cord from her vest, and handed her electronic sword to the next fencer.
She approached the bench, and smiled when she saw a familiar face, watching her.
"I see you're back into fencing again."
