They Hated Me in My First Life, But Now I Have the Love System

Chapter 136: New Skills 2 Chapter 136: New Skills 2 As soon as her fingers wrapped around the hilt, a strange sensation coursed through her, like muscle memory reawakening from a deep sleep.

The weight of the sword felt oddly familiar, its balance natural in her grasp.

“Hold it up,” Lady Rose instructed, watching closely.

Nnenna raised the blade, but her movements were awkward.

The memory of the skill was there, buried somewhere deep inside her, but her body wasn’t responding the way she expected.

“You’re gripping too tightly,” Lady Rose corrected.

“Fencing isn’t about brute strength.

It’s about precision, speed, and control.” Nnenna adjusted her grip, relaxing her fingers slightly.

It helped, but the frustration of not getting it right nagged at her.

Why does this feel so familiar?

Lady Rose took a step back and demonstrated.

“Stand sideways to your opponent.

Keep your feet shoulder width apart.

Your dominant foot should be forward, and your back foot at a slight angle.

Bend your knees, this gives you better mobility.” Nnenna followed, shifting into position.

“Good.

But lower your center of gravity slightly,” Lady Rose adjusted her stance by pressing down lightly on her shoulder.

“Balance is key.

Now, hold your sword in front of you, point slightly raised.” As soon as Nnenna corrected her posture, the stance felt right, like something she had done before.

Lady Rose moved into the same stance.

“This is your guard position.

Always keep your sword in front of you, ready to block or strike.

The moment you lower it carelessly, you leave yourself open to attack.” Nnenna nodded, gripping the hilt more steadily.

“Fencing is all about movement,” Lady Rose continued.

“You must learn to advance and retreat quickly.” She demonstrated a forward step, pushing off her back foot and gliding forward smoothly.
