His next opponent is Junn.
Sira has heard about him somewhat. A skilled gambler and sidesword fencer who got in trouble at Two Fencers regularly for flirting with the female customers and causing fights. Quite the homewrecker.
Due to his dexterity and skills in sidesword fencing, Junn utilizes thrusts more often than most. He can get away with extended lunges where one of his hand touches the floor since he is able retreat before getting hit.
He also understands the importance of entertaining the crowd, preferring to perform spectacular moves once his opponents have been hit multiple times.
Striking with only one hand, deflecting a strike with his back turned, and flourishes — he is quite the showoff.
The longer reach offered by using the longsword one handed also means he has less leverage. High risk. High reward. That’s his way of fighting. Getting in close could be beneficial.
