Chapter 550
Liza gave names to the fenrir parents
“While one mistake could have led to an injury, you two still did very well. …Perhaps next time we should switch your roles?”
“I think it would be a little difficult for me to do what Phillip did…”
“I suppose so. Sometimes I get a little carried away and want to move things along…”
Phillip’s movements might have looked simple at a glance…they were much more difficult.
He had tactfully timed his actions, anticipating the orc’s pause and attempted redirection towards him. He targeted the orc’s weak spots, like its legs, and quickly inflicted injuries before disengaging.
All the while not hurting the orc too much…
Had I been in his place, I would have likely cut the orc too deeply, so that its attention turned to me completely… Though, I suppose learning how to deal with that was also part of the training.
In any case, I still did not have enough skills with regards to finding the right timing, and injuring two orcs at the same time and then escaping.
It was better to train first, then learn to do that during real combat.
I didn’t want to fail and cause trouble for Phillip or get injured and cause Ms. Claire to worry.
“Wuff-wuff.”
