holo-lesson: blades [nessa]

At the holo-lesson station, I play with the buttons on the screen, and suddenly it bursts to life. "Welcome to your training session!" a robotic voice greets me, as the screen produces holograms of a small arena with two competitors. Each holds a sword and is sizing up each other. "You have selected to the skill: BLADES," the voice continues, and the competitors begin to move, striking and parrying as they fight to break through each other's defenses. "Please watch the tutorial. Any questions you have, please save for the end. Enjoy."

I watch closely, noting the different ways the competitors hold their swords or move their bodies. With each significant strike, the tutorial pauses, taking a moment to explain what is happening, pointing out specific details on how to place your body and where to put the bulk of your body weight to use it to your advantage.

'Thank you for watching, please take a moment to input your questions. If you don't have any question, we wish you a good afternoon, and will the odds be ever in your favour.'
