I can't imagine myself not fighting! I may have gotten started out of a misplaced wish to get stronger, but by now I can't not fight.
[Maybe if I think of his characterization in the fighting game spinoff as Akihiko chasing for this feeling of aha to try to understand it, I'll tolerate his writing in that game more. I'm salty over my boy's treatment in spinoff games, can you tell]
[Something about Akihiko seems rather admiring about them and about Saber. He can greatly respect strength, and also he saw what those two are capable of, thanks to memoryshare. Akihiko will never handle a sword, but if for some reason he took swordfighting, he'd hope to be as good as them someday]
There has to be someone here who can spar with you. [Because hoping Uruha will die and get here so there can be sparring would be rude. Akihiko likes Uruha, he hopes he doesn't die] True, we're mostly good with magic instead of using swords, but...
[Saber should have enrichment. Someone must be capable of providing it, and blasting them with magic from a distance won't do]

[Which probably means you're as old as Zhongli, or more]

I don't normally lose. But I have definitely fought against opponents where I struggled to beat them due to their strength. It's exhilarating.
[ but also a good way to see what your current limits are. ]

[ they say this very confidently. ]
... I will miss getting to spar though. I did it quite often with Uruha.

[ they will just
challenge the guy who killed him. yeah. ]
no subject
[Somehow he's not too surprised about this. Of course it'd be Lucas]
I guess if I were in your position I'd want to even the score and prove they wouldn't defeat me again...
no subject
[ lucas is still considered a friend. ]
no subject
[Because Akihiko knows that, if he had been murdered even by someone influenced, he'd have a hard time leaving that behind!]
