You have only one chance.
Sword versus poleaxe? You might as well holding a paper straw.
As you dash towards Master, towards his stone-still form, you know that there is only one way you can beat him.
Get close.
Bait the swing.
Hit the dominating hand.
Thrust through his now-broken defences.
It’s simple enough, in theory.
You have tried hundreds of times.
You thrust at his side, but that’s just to bait his swing. He’ll hit you with—
Master gently shifts his stance, the bottom of his poleaxe swings against your legs, trying to make you trip. You jump over it and—
He shifts again, bending around your bait swing, only to pivot on his left leg and start pushing the weapon’s shaft towards you.
It make sense. It’s quicker than using the weapon’s head.
Also, it gives you a chance to survive.
Delighted by the fact Master still prefers his favourite disciple in one piece, you pivot as well, outpacing his movement — using your momentum to dash past his elbow, your sword’s pommel aiming for his hand, almost touching it—
And then something hits <span class="mu-i">your</span> hand.
The poleaxe’s bottom. Again.
It’s sharp, lightning-quick and it leaves your hand dull. Your sword falls off your paralysed fingers.
He catches it.
“Ow,” you groan, rubbing your wrists, or trying to. It’s not easy with a hand that has lost almost all of it sensitivity.
Master bows and pulls back, holding up your sword for you to pick.
You do so, echoing his bow.
