Now it came down to the last one.

Defence.

Melchior had no specific preferences for a defence technique. He just felt like he needed a technique to bolster his defences. He couldn't walk out of every fight looking like Swiss cheese all the time. Nor could he afford to go into week-long comas after every single battle.

Especially not when he was in the army and battles would probably be more common. All he needed was a defence technique that didn't do too much or interfere with all the other parts of his skill set.

That wouldn't be hard to find. The options were probably abundant.

He told Winn about his requirements and the man wordlessly walked over to another cluster of shelves and began selecting scrolls. He was faster than both other times combined and came out in less than a minute holding only two scrolls.

It was surprising to see.

"I told you that I didn't have many requirements for the technique. How come you only brought two?"
