Remiel made sure the wound wouldn't harm any major muscles or strike any major arteries, instead, he allowed it to enter only a few centimeters into Mathius' leg.
"Be sure to keep watch on the enemy at all times; never let your guard down, even for a moment. The moment you do, your life is forfeit to a skilled soldier. Do you understand?" Remiel asked, stern but still relatively calm.
Removing the knife from his trainee's leg, Remiel leapt back and landed about half a meter away from Mathius' position. The trace amount of blood from his trainee was still fresh on Remiel's knife, so he cleaned it on the ground. Performing his next attack without warning, Remiel leapt at his pupil with both weapons in hand - longsword and knife - this time, however, he was aimed for the same spot. Attacking Mathius' shoulderblade, Remiel drove both weapons toward their mark with increased strength behind it.
If the attack wasn't dodged or blocked, a small cut would again remind Mathius of the consequences of a wandering mind. Remiel decided to bring his weapon down with a bit more force than normal, hoping that his trainee would think on his feet and be creative in parrying or dodging the attack.
