I looked at my opponent who was wielding a mace in his hand.
I'm sure many would run away simply at his sight, but I had a duty to fulfill.
The duty to protect the girl I like. This was the responsibility I had to carry for being a man.
Nume Zian rolled his index finger and offered: "Come, I'll let you have the first attack."
I, however, didn't move.
My motive was to defend, not to attack.
My master has taught me that defending is easier than attacking.
Also, with my defensive skill, predictive dodge, I was sure to defend and stall time till my teammates escaped.
Predictive Dodge was a technique that my master has been teaching me since I entered his peak.
It was to leave your body light and remain calm without any unnecessary thought.
Just focus on your opponent, however, don't think about his next move, and leave all of your movements to instincts.
