Rein nodded.
The next second, he swiftly stepped forward and his Dual-Handed Greatsword traced a lightning-fast semi-circular arc. At a downward angle of forty-five degrees, he fiercely cleaved down towards Cleya!
"Clang!!"
A grating sound of metal against metal rang out.
Cleya held her sword with both hands, her chestnut ponytail swaying. She used the 'strong blade' near the crossguard to firmly catch Rein's Smooth Cleaving Slash.
The two quickly parted, and then Cleya began to explain,
"There are two variations of the Giant Bear Sword Technique's defensive stance to cope with different situations. The first is similar to using a one-handed sword, applying the strong blade against the enemy's cleaving skills."
"The second is different. Come, Rein, thrust your sword at me."
As she spoke, Cleya gestured for Rein to attack her again.
"Alright, Lady Cleya, be careful!"
"Clang!!"
The sound of this clang was quite crisp.
