> Complement Youmu on her focus and swiftness.
> Comment "You're not the only one who can't keep their eyes off me!" while glancing at our spectators.
>"Oho, she's definitely right about that.">"Make sure to be as focused as her!">"My focus and swiftness is nothing praiseworthy. The Tengu have me beat on swiftness especially." Youmu's mouth curls into a smile.
"But still, thank you.">With that, she moves towards you carefully.
> Take note of the angle which Youmu used to attack us and think of an attacking motion that would obstruct such strikes.
> From what we remember from Youmu's strike were there any openings from which we could've counterattacked from?
>Her attack was a fast thrust. If you had a less open or lower guard then you could have countered it easily, but this is one of the noted downsides of the stance you took: How open it is.
> Sidestep to give ourselves room to assume our previous stance. If Youmu makes the first move, expect a variation of her last move and try to take advantage of the openings we saw, otherwise go for a variation of our own, striking while taking into account the angles we need to obstruct.
>You adopt your previous stance, and Youmu dives in.
>You see her hands move for a swing rather than a thrust, it's aiming high-
> Make sure to also expect a move that will hit any important fatal points.
>Right! Fatal spots!
>You move your hands into a low guard, then swing upwards. The target was Youmu's body, but your Sword is (coincidentally?) in the path of her Roukanken, leading to a clash.
>You two are stuck in a bind. You take a moment to extrapolate what Youmu's target was. And realise it was your neck, as you thought.
>This girl really has no mercy, does she?
