[Performed a perfect dodge]
The system's voice echoed in Cassian's mind as he deftly evaded Robert's thrust, countering with a downward slash across Robert's shoulder, causing him to wince in pain. The system defined a "perfect dodge" as a successful counterattack immediately following a precise evasion.
It was a difficult maneuver to pull off, and fortunately, the system only required him to perform it a maximum of five times. After all, in a real fight, the same move rarely works repeatedly—unless it's part of a combination of basic maneuvers.

Neither of them thought they needed the instruction at first, but they were in for a surprise when Julius explained the advantages of holding their swords correctly.
