Lorn was glad the conversation ended.
"Let is then continue our training," Lucas said. "I've also thought of your next task."
Lorn's spirit was almost refilled, but he felt somewhat reluctant to get up. Since the last task was so difficult to achieve, he couldn't imagine what the next one would be like.
"Your next task is to use Four-strike Counter on me."
"What?" Lorn thought he was hearing wrong.
"Use Graceful Cuts on me four times and activate Four-strike Counter."
"How do you expect me to do that? At this point, I wouldn't even be able to use Graceful Cuts on you."
At the start of the sparring session, Lorn took Lucas by surprise by immediately using Graceful Cuts. That bought him an extra 0.5. Graceful Cuts took 15 seconds to activate, while Lucas's Effect and Cause needed 15.2 seconds to manifest on Lorn.
