Kairos felt himself slowly come to a conclusion.
He didn't have to begin the swing when his knees were fully bent. Rather, he could begin the swing beforehand, and use that brief moment of stability in order to accurately land a hit.
Then, immediately after the hit was made, he could jump away in whichever desired direction.
And so, he tried doing just that.
He pulled back his weapon, then began swinging it as his knees began bending. Then right at the moment he felt it mattered most, his knees suddenly stopped, while the spear in his hands had thrust forth. It had only hit air, but Kairos felt that it was a success nonetheless.
After that, he abruptly jumped to the side, dodging one of the mana arrows the mana figure fired.
Kairos couldn't help but smirk, as nearly all of the awkwardness had disappeared. Instead of a faulty forced technique, it was an actual viable one, which he could truly use.
With those thoughts in mind, he decided to do exactly that.
