The Scholar fakes a Horizontal Blow to the Players head, drawing the expected counter cut. Know this, the Scholar pulls his blow at Long Ward, and half swords it while knocking the players blade. The Scholar can finish with what he likes. The Player however, is no slouch, and realizes that he can do the same thing.
