>CRITICAL SUCCESS: AV Auto-Pass
The heat of your panting breath against the inside of your helmet is stifling. You’re not even exerting yourself that much, aside from bringing up your shield or shifting your weight in response to your opponent’s rapid movements. Surely he must be tiring, even unencumbered as he is?
But it is you that is flagging. You’re overextended, faltering. Your stance is beginning to fall apart. Everyone can see it, and experienced swordsmen nodding sagely as if they saw this outcome as inevitable all along. The crowd waits with bated breath as Giovanni moves in for the kill, short steel twirling in his left hand.
That blade should have slipped right into your visor, taken out an eye or worse. Should have.
<span class="mu-i">*clink*</span>
The sound of your master-armourer’s lifesaving grace is as sweet to you as all the choirs of Heaven. Giovanni seems as surprised as you that the dirk’s blade caught where it did.
You leap into the attack, blade swinging at your back-peddling opponent.
