Bab 529: He Is HIM [Part 2]

Northern felt so good in a way that he never had before. Was it the fact that he could somehow now tell where his mistakes lay as he moved, or because he directed the flow of the Chaos Footwork with more definition than before?

Previously, Chaos Footwork had seemed to make him move like someone diving in for a fall but happening to take advantage of it.

It was in taking advantage of the relapsing moments of both him and his opponent.

But now that he could see the chaos ahead of him, he could vividly see those relapsing moments. Hence, he didn't need to take advantage of his fall.

He needed to meld himself and his flow into a line that caused and controlled those relapsing moments.

Hence, the difference being that before, Northern was susceptible; he had to move like he would fall, and in such a fall came the execution of the Chaos Footwork.
