On my way to the arena to prepare for my second fight, I met Oliver in the corridor. As promised to Alesia, I gave him a little tip.
"Use your shield more. No one uses a shield in the battle except for Bill. Play defensive and only attack using <Shield Bash> when you see the opening in your opponent's defense. That's your chance to knock them back and end the fight in a move."
The aspiring knight looked a bit confused when I suddenly stopped him and said that in my passing. But then he bowed and thanked me with a wide smile.
I waved my hand and went to the arena after I used <Heal> and <Cure> on him. That would hopefully make him feel better and cure his sore hands.
My opponent was someone from the Patientia Academy again. This one wore 5 magic items, which was a little bit excessive. He used all slots he could just for two or three bonus statuses.
'A bit stupid.' I thought as I raised my sword.
