the torso would obviously be harder for John in his unbalanced position. Plus, there was a chance that John would have fallen from the strike to his torso, giving you the win," Sir Vincent calmly explained Rex's second mistake.
When Rex thought about it, it seemed true. After all, John only dodged the strike by jumping, but if Rex had aimed for his torso, it's unlikely that John would have dodged it while off balance.
Rex realized that he could have won the match easily if he hadn't been so impatient.
"Thank you for your advice, sir. I'll remember it and avoid making these mistakes in future fights," Rex thanked Sir Vincent while bowing his head in gratitude.
"Good. And don't be disheartened by the loss. You impressed me the most today," Sir Vincent complimented Rex, impressed by his serious attitude.
After all, such an attitude is rare among noble children, as most of them are just arrogant and not worth much in his eyes.
