He teaches you once more. You learn: -Horizontal Strike -Vertical Strike -Diagonal Strike -Thrusting Stab "Now countering." You learn: -Disarming -Forearm Block-Slash -"Down-And-Up" -"Friction-Scissor" ((Just ask me what any of these mean if you don't understand them)) The Man steps back, the Undhime toted in his arms. "Now, my friend, you will be as good as I am in a battle of close-quarters. Use these skills well." The Man says nobly.

[spoiler]could I have the definition of the last 3 counters? the rest im good with.[/spoiler] *jester bows slightly then returns to standing. he wipes his forehead as a bead of moisture (whether it be sweat or the mist from the ocean) runs down his face. he thanks the man and tells him if he ever needs anything, he can count on jester.*

[spoiler] The first one is where you hold your sword backwards so the blade is along your forearm, where a small gesture of your arm can block incoming melee attacks, as well as slash back at them with an elbow thrust. The Down and Up is where your sword pushes down the opposing melee weapon and then makes an upward slash at the opponent while their weapon is down. The Friction Scissor is where you slide your sword down the opposing melee weapon when they are held together, striking the enemy. [/spoiler] "And you may call upon me if you need my help, as well."

*jester thanks the man once more, then heads down the cliffs toward sector-2. as he walks he checks his weapons and gear. his shield is fully powered, his (now) silenced pinn-7 is fully loaded, the arrows for his bow and his new katana are razor sharp. he is ready for whatever waits ahead.* [spoiler]ill start a new comment for this. if you don't mind.[/spoiler]

One of my operatives stands on a building lining the coast. He watches The Man as he trains Jester. Suddenly, he leaves.
