"Luna Inverse, I'm here to challenge you!"
Gourry shrugged as he looked at Lina. "Luna? What's going on? I thought your name was Lina."
Lina groaned, as she buried her face in her hands. "Luna is the name of my big sister."
Gourry replied, "Oh. That's right, you did mention you had a sister. So, what's going on?"
The pounding on the door continued.
Harry answered, "Luna is the best swordswoman in these parts. She keeps getting challenged by all these fighters to see if they can beat her."
Gourry stroked his chin, as the pounding intensified. "I see, I don't think he's going to go away. Do you want me to take care of it?"
Lina and Harry stared at Gourry in shock. Gourry shrugged, as he opned the door.
"I'll take that as a yes."
As the door was opened, a large burly man carrying a claymore was revealed. The man quickly scanned the room with his eyes and snorted.
"I see. Luna is not here."
Gourry smiled. "She might not be, but I am. How about a practice match, before you do face Luna?"
The man laughed hard. "Lad, you wouldn't stand a chance, but all right."
Gourry walked out of the Inverse home and led the challenger to an open area.
Lina and Harry walked out of the house and followed Gourry.
"Sis, I think he's bitten off more than he can chew," Harry mumbled.
Lina smiled. "I know. I feel sorry for that idiot who just came."
Harry looked at Lina. "I was talking about Gourry."
"I know," Lina whispered to Harry. "But, you haven't seen Gourry in action."
Harry watched the fight between the two men. What there was of it. Gourry had blocked the swing of the claymore and spun his sword in a circle, wrenching the claymore out of the guy's hands and into the air. Gourry caught the sword with the flat of his blade and bounced it into a tree.
Gourry smiled, as he said, "I think you need work on your downswing."
The man grumbled, as he retrieved his sword and left. Gourry shook his head, as he walked up to Lina.
"I have never understood that part of being a swordsman. I'm good, but I don't need to prove I'm better than anyone else. I can't figure out why others want to."
Lina grimaced and looked away, as Harry chuckled as Lina's discomfort
