He'd passed the boil a couple of times - the Stealth Trials, training outside, sometimes he'd heard the boil in the Gym while Invictus sat in the lair of the heirs with the girls. Hardworking, stubborn, even. There was simply something about Shun that had told the horseman that he was working hard.
And Hard work always deserved an opponent of skill to rank oneself against. It wasn't that Invictus thought himself the almighty lord and god of the battledome, but he did know that he had a certain extra degree of skill from experience many students at the school had been unable to topple yet. For that, he was at least a doorpost to measure against.
A letter was written - clean and pristine handwriting, carefully folded, placed in an envelope which was then sealed..... it was very similar to the issued challenge of the Forest Fortress that he'd had the students walk for him (it had since been altered), only this time it called for the Gym instead - a form extension of a challenge to battle.
However, Invictus wasn't about to assume he would win this fight - there would eventually be one with good bite and luck.
He would wait there and then see what happened.

Shun was rather surprised to receive another letter. He recognized the handwriting, but again, he needed Mitsu's help with reading what the contents were exactly. Once they were deciphered, he was rather intrigued to hear what it said. He wasn't sure what called for this sort of challenge exactly, but he wasn't about to pass it up.
Grabbing his jacket, he made his way to the gym, mentally preparing himself as he moved on along. No doubt, this would be a difficult battle for him. He had felt Invictus's power once before. Granted, that time, he was a little less prepared to feel it. Regardless, he was going to give this his all, and see just how well he matched up to a horsemen heir.
Once he was at the gym, he spotted Conquest there, waiting for him. He didn't say anything, but he did slowly bow before summoning his daggers and crouching down to get into his usual stance.

Shun saw Invi doing something, but he was having some trouble seeing what that was exactly. It then came rocketing towards him; far faster than he could really react against. He essentially saw a glint of light, then felt something tear straight through his abdomen. Letting out a cry, his step faltered and he dropped down onto one knee. Several drops of blood splattered against the gym floor as this happened.
"Kusoo.." he hissed, while trying to deal with the pain.
Controlling his breathing, he shut his eyes tightly for a few moments, attempting to clear his mind. He needed to focus on his opponent. Not on how much that last strike hurt. Getting back up, he slowly reopened his eyes, and got back into position, staring hard at Conquest.
Focus.
Another breath.
The Reaper suddenly disappeared, leaving inky shadows in his wake. These dark wisps reappeared as he shadow stepped from spot to spot around Invictus. With each one, he struck out at the heir, aiming to cut into him from different angles. Another moment or so passed before he appeared a few feet away, breathing a little heavily from the exertion.

That had hit solidly, and somehow....somehow Invictus just didn't feel guilty for it. It wasn't a malice thing, it was a matter of the fact that the boil was still ready to keep going. In fact, he was more than ready to keep going - he lashed back at him - quite painfully, at that.
But Invictus did not try to shield himself from the attacks - that would only hinder his ability to counter attack, a move he made even as his clothing and skin was cut into, leaving sleeves cut up and small trickles of blood dripping down the slices, staining the cloth and dripping to the floor as he moved.
However, he had already prepared it. One hand drawn flat out in front of him, the other drawn back as though he was pulling a bowstring. Sharp looking, yet stone seeming, projectiles solidified in the palm of the Horseman before he 'released' with his drawing hand and sent them all flying in unison, just as he had the one prior.
HP:36/60 Damage: SWIFT STRIKES - 11
