When Akio told Masamune that his lack of knowledge was not his fault the spirit wielder had a slight smile on his face which made Masamune do the insect equivalent of a smile in turn. This made him feel less embarrassed about not knowing much about the Digital World.
Akio looked excited as Masamune was regarding the sparring match and much to Masamune's excitement the little Kunemon caught the spirit wielder off guard. However, also to Masamune's delight Akio showed that he was swifter on his feet than Masamune thought the spirit wielder would be in his first sparring match if only barely. "Akio, I have to admit that you are nimbler than I expected you to be seeing as this is your first sparring match, kew. I have a feeling with more practice you'll likely become even more agile, kew."
Masamune took notice of how Akio was standing before the Herissmon pounced at Masamune in turn. "This may not be an agressive technique, but this should be enough to surprise you, kew. Speeding Thread, kew!" Masamune exclaimed as thread spread out from his legs before he zipped out of the way of Akio's charge.

Akio appreciated the complement from Masamune even though he didn’t think he was as agile and nimble as the bug Digimon thought. He only barely dodged the pounce after all. “Thanks Masamune! I honestly don’t think I’m that fast right now but I do agree that with more practice I’ll be able to be pretty quick and agile I’m no time.” Practice makes perfect after all. That was something Akio could agree with. He knew he would be able to get faster in no time.
What Masamune did next did indeed surprise him. His speeding thread allowed him to get out of the way of Akio’s charge quickly. He would be forced to stop the charge as the other Digimon zoomed out of the way quickly. “Wow! That’s pretty cool! How about you try to dodge this! Electric Fur!” Akio would turn around with his back now facing Masamune. He would then fire off 5 quills from his back that were coated in electricity at him.

After thanking Masamune for his compliment Akio was surprised by Masamune's Speeding Thread being used to evade the hedgehog like digimon's attack. Then Akio called the move pretty cool, and Masamune said "Yeah I guess it is, kew. Shows with digimon that one definitely can't judge a book by its cover for they can be faster or stronger than they look at first glance, kew."
Then Akio turned with his quills facing Masamune before using his Electric fur to fire off five electricity coated quills at the small Kunemon. "Dodge, kew? I have a better plan and you'll likely find this pretty cool, kew." Masamune said before he reared up and exclaimed "Electric Thread, kew!" From the Kunemon's mouth came threads sparking with electricity. The arching electricity intercepted and cut off the electricity laden quills Akio shot at him and the taser barbs on the end hit and stuck into a nearby log the two attacks shorting each other out.

“I’ll be sure to keep that in mind the next time I’m up against a rookie Digimon.” Akio would say in response. The popular saying ‘you should never Judge a book by its cover’ seemed to apply to Digimon, especially during battle. He wondered if a rookie Digimon could defeat a stronger and larger one by outsmarting it with its own unique abilities. It was interesting to think about it but he had his own battle to focus on right now.
He would watch as Masamune took out his quills due to a good use of his ability.“ Yeah, that is pretty coo! That was a nice use of your ability.” Now it was Akio’s turn to one of his own. Akio would start running towards Masamune at a decent pace, he still wasn’t used to this form so this did give the other Digimon time to prepare. “Lightning slash!” One of Akio’s hands would coat itself in electricity, and he attempted to slash at Masamune.

"Well believe it or not but I had to learn not to judge a book by its cover the hard way shortly after leaving my forest, kew. Good thing I didn't get hurt by an evil digimon, kew. I only startled a rookie level Kamemon and the cyborg turtle knocked me into a puddle, kew. All was fine after I apologized to him and then he also apologized to me, kew. Good thing he seemed to be a gentle guy, kew." Masamune said as he still wondered how that Kamemon was doing and if the little guy had digivolved yet given they seemed to be both fairly young and similar in age.
After complimenting Masamune's clever use of his Electric Thread ability Akio began running at Masamune at a decent pace making the little caterpillar wonder what he was up to until Akio called out Lightning Slash and one of his hands began to be coated in electricity. When it became clear the intent was to slash at Masamune the little Kunemon glanced over at a smaller tree branch nearby on the ground that was small enough for him to pick up and used as an improvised weapon so that was just what Masamune did. Picking up the small branch he swung it infront of him like an improvised sword using it to intercept Akio's attack.

Akio would listen to masamune as he listened from his own experience where he had to learn to judge a book by it's cover. It was certainly something he planned to keep in in the back of his mind. He thought it was especially important not to judge a book by it's cover, especially when it came to other Digimon. "I'm glad everything turned out fine from that encounter, I'll be sure that I don't assume someone is strong or weak based on appearances alone." Once Akio went to attack Masamune with his special ability, thanks to Digimon's quick thinking, he grabbed a tree branch and intercepted the Herissmon's attack, blocking with it.
Akio, seeing that his attack had failed, would jump back away from Masamune, stepping back a couple of meters before he got on the defensive, waiting for his friend to attack. "That was some quick thinking Masamune! I was sure that my attack would hit for a second there."

"I'm glad too seeing as I had not technically had been a digimon near as long as other rookie digimon like that Kamemon, kew. It also could have been worse, kew. Let's just say I am entirely grateful that I wasn't attacked by something much stronger that wouldn't have had issues maybe gobbling up a little bug like me, kew." Masamune said with a lighthearted chuckle.
As for Masamune's attempt to block it had been successful causing the little Herrissmon to jump back a couple of meters moving into a defensive stance before complimenting Masamune on his quick thinking. "Thanks, Akio, kew. I wasn't sure that my block would have been successful but since we are merely sparring, I didn't want to possibly hurt you by using my sword Tenken or spitting acid in your eyes, kew. So, I figured using the log to meet your attack was the best approach, kew."

Akio would nod in response. He was glad that encounter Masamune had did'nt get worse, because they both knew it had the potential to get pretty bad. Good thing it did'nt. Who knows what could of happened if things did get worse. He would then listen to the other Digimon as he spoke. He would then proceed to listen to Masamune and he agreed with him overall. While using the sword could be very effecive here, it had the potential to injure Akio severely if the two of them were not careful enough. For obvious reasons, Akio was glad the other Digimon chose not to use his acid either. That more than likely would of been very painful.
"Yeah, It was most certainly the best approach given the situation. Now it's you're turn, or do you want to end the spar here. I'm good with either or."

"Definitely good I didn't use my acid indeed seeing as even though it wouldn't kill you getting it in your eyes would be very painful and unpleasant alright, kew." Masamune said in agreement and though the branch was still in his mandible it somehow was not causing problems with his ability to talk. When Akio said it was Masamune's turn, he also said he was also okay if the little Kunemon was okay to end it then that was also okay. Thinking for a brief moment Masamune then nodded his head in agreement before he said, "I'm more than game to continue this spar, Akio, kew."
Getting into a ready position Masamune held the branch in a protective stance before he said "Alright, Akio, here I come, kew. I hope you're ready." With that Masamune leaned forward a bit before he scooted towards the Herissmon moving in swinging the branch. Who knew how Akio would handle this move Masamune was making? It was unknown if Akio was expecting Masamune to use an ability or not but one thing the little swordsmon knew was that at sometimes one had to be unpredictable so hopefully this would provide a surprise for the young spirit wielder.

“Haha, yeah. That would have been painful, that’s for sure. Akio didn’t want to know what it would feel like being sprayed in the eyes with acid. He imagined it would have been very painful, that’s for sure. He probably wouldn’t have been able to see for a while after that too, so he was thankful Masamune did not do that. After hearing his friend say he was down to continue the spar, the Herissmon would nod once more.
“Sounds good! I’m ready!” He would say cheerfully. When Masamune began to scoot forward, trying to swing with a branch with him. Akio decided to counter with an ability of his own, “Lightning Aura!” Akio himself would then become coated in an aura of lightning. When the Herissmon was hit by the branch, the aura would seemingly block the attack for him, nullifying any damage he would have taken. The aura would then fade, and Akio would attempt to attack with his claws again as a counter attack.

Akio mentioned he was ready with a cheerful tone of voice. Yet when Masamune came in swinging the branch it appeared the spirit wielder was far from out of surprises as Akio summoned up his Lightning Aura. The Herissmon's very body became coated in an aura of lightning which the branch Masamune swung met head on. However, though the wood insulated against the worst of the shock from meeting the aura head on at worst it caused Masamune's antenna to vibrate and stand on end.
Such actions had Masamune standing there and as the aura faded, he was shaking off the tingling sensation he was feeling just as Akio began to come at the Kunemon with his claws. Realizing there was no time to plan a counterattack of his own he remembered the branch he was holding in his mandible and shifted it into a defensive position in an effort to block the claws.
"I have to admit it, but you aren't that bad for someone who has never fought before, Akio, kew. Who knows how amazing a fighter you'll become with more experience, kew."

Akio managed to block Masamune's attack before going in with his own claws for an attack of his own. The bug Digimon's antenna stuck up on one end due to the shock he got. Due to some quick thinking on Masamune's end, he was able to block this next attack. He would listen to his friend compliment. Hearing him say that made him feel good and confident about his fighting ability's so far. He seem to be doing a decent job, which of course was a sign that he was doing something right at least. He was was glad Masamune thought he was doing a good job.
"Thanks Masamune! I appreciate the compliment. I just need to train more if I want to get better. I'm sure the two of us will become good fighters as long as we keep practicing." Akio would then take several steps back as he waited for Masamune's next move.

Based on the attacks and counterattacks it appeared as if Masamune and Akio appeared to be evenly matched on the surface in those forms. Twitching his antenna as the tingling was fading Masamune was trying to figure out if he could somehow pull a fast one on Akio. Then it hit him though the little bug wasn't sure if this would get one over on the spirit wielder as Akio appeared to be a decently clever young lad meaning he likely wouldn't be easy to trick.
Didn't stop the young Kunemon from trying as he said "I may have only met a handful of digimon and humans but what is crazy about that is that most of the humans I've met have been spirit wielders, kew. Pretty crazy, huh, kew?"
Swinging the branch in his mandible his antenna started twitching as if he appeared to have come up with something clever. Thread began spreading out from the Kunemon's legs as he exclaimed "Speeding Thread, kew!" With that bam he took off at high-speed sweeping around behind Akio and swinging the branch low as if attempting to sweep the Herissmon off of his feet. Would the speedy little bug succeed?

So far, the two of them seemed to be evenly matched, attacking, guarding and counter attacking each others attacks. Akio was new to combat so he wondered if Masamune was going easy on him, at least to an extent since they were both rookies. He would imagine that the bug Digimon would have more combat experience than he did. The young spirit user was surprised to hear that most of the humans that Masamune had met were spirit users. He kind of assumed that spirit users are rare, but now it sounds like they could be a common sight.
"Yeah that is pretty crazy. To be honest I thought that spirit users were uncommon." Akio would say in response. When Masamune used his speeding thread. Akio would try to get out of the way, but he wasn't nearly fast enough this time. The Bug Digimon would sweep him off his feet and onto his side. The Herissmon would take a couple of moments to get up before saying, "Nice one! You're pretty fast Masamune!"

Masamune chuckled in response before he said "Guess when it comes to the chosen humans that Spirit wielders are more common than I initially thought myself, kew. Who knows, maybe you'll meet at least a few friendly more experienced spirit wielders, kew. Heck might even meet the ones I met someday, kew. Who knows as sometimes even the Digital World can seem like a small world like how I've overheard from passing humans that the Human World can seem to be, kew. Just remember other chosen humans are called tamers and xros generals and they form bonds with digimon and work together so the digimon can achieve their new levels of power, kew. Granted I don't know how that works given my nature as what in this world is technically considered a wild digimon, kew. We wild digimon still hunt for the eggs for armor evolution much how you spirit wielders look for spirits but as for our other evolutions we seem to achieve them naturally through various things that may trigger the transformation from adrenaline to pure rage and sometime just cause, kew. I don't know what necessarily triggers all evolutions, kew. It just seems to happen, I guess, kew."
When Masamune's plan worked out the Herissmon was swept off his feet as planned landing on his side. When Akio got up, he complimented Masamune's speed causing the humble swordsmon to say "I guess for a digimon with stubby little legs that I can go fairly fast, kew. Mind you there are digimon out there that are much faster and make a little guy like me look slow by comparison, kew. Let's face it though my threads boost my speed somewhat, I am no speedster by design, kew. I think at most I might move as fast as a Human World vehicle on a racetrack, kew."
