Meddy handed Lexine a wooden sword. Lexine thanked him and took the sword. The sword seemed light when Meddy was holding it. However, it was quite heavy. Lexine had to steady herself to get used to the weight.
"The first thing you are to learn when using any weapon is the correct stance. Every weapon has a different stance you can use to balance yourself and to correctly attack."
Meddy held up his own wooden sword. His left foot was planted slightly behind his right foot. The sword was gripped using both hands, the hilt being just below his chest. He stayed like this for a few seconds, giving Lexine time to study how he was standing. "This is the most basic stance as you plant your feet to steady yourself. It gives you a chance to steady your breathing as breathing is the most important thing when wielding a weapon." He turned to Lexine, "You try it."
