Both Elias and Clara flinched at the thought of Theo getting hit. The boar and the pup were right at the edge, too, with restless legs.
Nobody wanted Theo to get injured, and it was rare for tamed beasts to look at humans themselves fighting other beasts on their own. It was out of the norm in this world, even for them.
Theo stepped back with his footwork and looked at the situation while taking a deep breath. Giving a lot of oxygen to the body was a good method to calm the heart down.
The boar moved its face one or two times with its eyes wide open.
Theo had just smacked the blunt side of the sword right at its head, making the boar shake.
It was not in the plan, but Theo just did it due to the habit of fighting with Bram, where he only smacked him with the blunt side of the sword.
SQUEAKKK
The boar became a lot more restless and infuriated. It quickly made its way toward Theo again.
Theo waited for it and made up his mind about what to do.
