Chapter 36: Need a hand?

After giving the go ahead to Orchid I changed my stance my left leg was extended towards Orchid and right was firmly planted. I held Zircon with both hands In a tail guard awaiting for Orchids Advance. Orchid shot at me in an almost blur aiming at my left shoulder, In response, I swung my sword across my body diagonally switching my dominant foot in the process, Our swords clashed and I managed to deflect /the first blow and aimed to thrust in counter while I was in ox guard. 

Unfortunately for me Orchid was smart with her sword technique, she never used both swords at the same time, instead she used each sword as a follow up attack in order to cut down time on swinging as such before be she became a hailstorm of attacks.
