Chapter 79: Movements should be fluid!

"For your next training session, we'll reverse the roles! I will be on the offensive, and you will be focused solely on reacting and retaliating. You might think this is the same as what we did previously, but let me warn you: Being on the defensive is far harder than being on the offensive. Your goal is to take back the flow of the battle and force me on the defensive."

Alchemy considered his words and nodded. This outlook completely differed from the wars she was used to, in which the attackers constantly worried about supply lines, their flank, the terrain advantage, and several other things.

That wasn't to say those on the defense didn't have to worry about any of those, but it was far easier for them to manage.

However, in a small battle, such as a one-on-one, it would be much easier to keep the momentum in your favor if you forced the other person to react rather than reacting yourself.
