We do indeed love a good fight. If it's a physical apponent, a really elusive answer to a problem, a multi-day project, or a disease, we take great pride in a well-earned victory.
The boy knew that, as long as he took that one head, he'd already won the race. Everything else was victory laps. Not much sense being afraid when you could have died decades ago with a grin already on your face and no regrets.
I used to enjoy pugilism a great deal, though I used way more than just my hands. Nothing quite like a worthy opponent, even in defeat, there is something to be learned and in victory... Well, that's quite a high.
Always amazes me. That one side has such a huge advantage. Skill, strength, health, weapons…. And still call it a “fair fight” to take on an unskilled, undernourished child with no dagger, armor, decent weapon.
You see it in Star Wars alot...only thing I can think is, blades don't need ammo, in a sci fi world they might not be considered 'threats' and get overlooked, hi tech weapons might have conditions they don't work well in, or foes they don't work well against...etc. Hell could just be the people using the blades just don't have the resources for anything fancier and it's a case of make do with what you have, not what you wish you had. That's in setting. Outta setting most likely just a case of the writer thinking swords are cool
Why did George S. Patton carry ivory pistols when he commanded tanks? That sword is the one he won his freedom with, it is a mark of who he is and his position. Carrying the sword doesn't stop him from using modern weapons and it's unlikely hell be allowed to take those home after his contracts. Also there is the point that some men actually like wet work when there is an option.
In general they are designed to be used with one or two hands. Labeling them as one or two handed is something you pick up from playing DnD or Pathfinder.
I do enjoy the fact that it's a continuation from an older story

I have an absolutely unconfirmed suspicion that the "cranky old cyborg" may have lost a sword match many years ago
A headless cranky old cyborg?
I must confess. I love being in a good fight.
I love a good gunfight, it was what made the the angriest when I broke my back and uncle sam retired me.
@@xunheilvsnipezx3324 Me too, buddy. Me too.
I love a fight too, especially when I feel like the underdog, which is often considering how thin I am
Damn good cliffhanger author. Fantastic job as to be expected narrator
A fight is only as good as the reason.
Don’t give us one
i enjoyed the description of the fight but can't help feel there's a lot missing to the story
thanks for the narration
There will be more
Fights do cause a certain kind of adrenaline rush that I can’t find anywhere so yeah fair

Combat is a rush, nothing compares

Tbh fighting a malnourished tiger with blunted claws would be a fair fight for most people.
Is the interviewer and old cyborg friend from another story?
We do, especially against a skilled, if overconfident enemy. I mean, we are space orcs right? So bashin' the bloody git is de bestest thing eh?
De only reel kwestun iz: brutally cunnin' or cunninly brutal?
Oh only an hour and a half, maybe I'll wait...
Thank you for the reading
Greetings Mentlegent!
For the Rhyhtm that is Algo
Xenos: Are you not entertained??
Humans: No. But you will be DEAD.
A good story - but yeah it begs for more.
Also, why blades for war in sci-fi universe. It's curious. I see why for ritual combat - bur why past that?

"two handed bastard sword"
So not a bastard sword then. Bastard swords are one-and-a-half handers. 😁
In general they are designed to be used with one or two hands. Labeling them as one or two handed is something you pick up from playing DnD or Pathfinder.
Hand and a half is usually what I hear them called
Leaf-bladed and hand and a half are an odd combination. All of the leaf-bladed swords I see are single-handed.
