Ah, you must be a skilled

practitioner of magic. Mmm,

you must one of those Wizards.

High Wizards? I can't really

tell the difference. Ah, may

I be of service to you?

I'm surprised that you chose

to practice magic: judging

from your build, I'd say that

you'd be well suited to wielding a sword. Haha, but that's just

a humble Knight's opinion.

Wait, are you asking me

to teach you a Push-Back

attack technique? You can

defend yourself using spells

like Fire Wall or Fire Bolt

much more effectively, right?

Oh, I see. Yeah, Wizards

aren't very effective in close

range battles. Okay, I can see

why you'd want to learn some

Push-Back technique. Alright,

I can teach you a few basics.

Now, every adventurer knows

the fundamentals of attacking.

You strike, and then ready your

next action, which is either

another strike, a dodge or a

guard. Simple stuff, right?

To push an enemy back, you've

got to attack using a strike

with continuous force. It's all

in the follow through. Now, if

you strike the head, the push

distance will be too short.

If you deliver a pushing

strike to the legs, your

enemy will fall towards you.

The best target for pushing

attacks is the torso since it

allows more control of the push.

Well, I've explained

pushing as best as I can.

Concentrate and practice the

theory on your own, and you

should be able to do it. Good luck on your travels, adventurer~

Make no mistake:

swordplay is an art.

The techniques may seem

brutish at first glance, but

there's a keen strategy that

Knights innately understand.
