It seemed that the new person still misunderstood Umichi a little, but Suki cleared it up, explaining the EXP again.
"It's in the guidebook the beta players wrote. Information is very important in these situations, although, it should also be taken with caution." As he explained "where" he got his information from, he realised he had yet to see Ayame fight.
Did she finish before he noticed, or was there nothing left for her? he pondered for a moment.
The new girl self-proclaimed to be a bitch. He paused for a moment, hearing her call herself an ass afterwards.
Not from Japan I guess? he thought to himself, drawing his blade.
"Not quite Suki, 20."he called, turning to his back. Eight more had appeared from behind.
"By the way, self-proclaimed bitch, I have no problems with you joining the party, but here's the thing. Do you realise that bitch over here in Japan means slut? You should be more careful with your words depending on where you are." he called out to her, out of earshot for Yui, before preparing.
"Tatsumi, your with me here, Ayame, you help Suki keep the Wolves off Yui and help ..." he paused, remembering he didn't catch her name. In fact, did they even introduce themselves? Well it wasn't the time for it.
"The new person to our group." He had taken up the aggro for all eight Dire Wolves, easily letting Tatsumi be able to pick a few off from behind them. As one came to attack, he sidestepped, slicing through the Dire Wolf with an arching motion. It was quick, but not as fast as a
<<Sword Skill>>. Back-dashing, he dodged an attack from a wolf, stabbing another that was behind him, but this one did not die on impact. As a slashing weapon, stab motions seemed to deal less damage, it seemed. Cutting out from the stab wound, he had his back to most of the mob.
The new girl activated sword skill after sword skill.
<<Ura>> and then <<Arc>>. A bit of overkill on that. Sword skills strained the mind and body, it is more appropriate to interchange between and only use what was sufficient to kill an enemy, as it would strain the mind and body less, leading to less fatigue, and lower chances of collapse in battle. There was some distance between her and the girl, and he noticed something. She was stuck in the post-motion. Picking up a pebble, he activated
<<Single shot>>. The wolf that had attacked her was stopped in the middle of it's second attack.
"And that's another reason why you have party members, to help in the post-motion." With a short moment of waiting, the wolves were closing in. They came in from high and low, side stepping, he readied his blade for a simple
<<Vertical>>, cutting down on the two wolves. What he didn't notice was the one that had come to attack him as he side stepped.
Registering the attack, although the post-motion was short, he still had to wait for a quick moment. As it wore off, he emergency dive-rolled to the side, but the Dire Wolf still got his leg. Rolling away and standing up, he didn't take any significant damage, but took some nonetheless.
Guess I lack the training still he took a mental note for himself.
