Lab Rat-1

Cassadrei's POV

"You need to use your left arm to shield yourself, put it in front of your chest like a semi cross, and swing the sword with your dominant right arm." I instructed, performing the same gesture myself to allow Michael to follow. 

He stood clumsily, trying to adapt to the pose of a warrior as he repeatedly left his chest exposed to attack. Michael focused more on striking with his weapon, which is prudent, but he is exposing himself to a fatal attack by not realising how to use a shield properly. 

I went over, correcting his posture and instructed him to put his right leg forward and stand with his spine straight and his chin parallel to his chest.
