[ The pointed finger is met with continued calm. Setsuna nods a little to affirm the unsaid implication, looking forward to what else the other Hero will try. Although he is meant to be target practice in this scenario, as mentioned earlier, he is also benefiting from this. To be specific, he's interested in improving his own capabilities outside of the offensive role. Especially as a Holy Knight, a Rank that needs to be acquainted with the aura of the world and those within it. He wants to learn more about his abilities to read the mana flows of Enprise and of others...
Setsuna did notice this Hero is a Knight too, though he wonders if they hold similar traits. He's curious to find out. Once his training partner charges forward again, he braces himself for the upcoming move. It's easy to notice that the jump is done early... That means there's another trick behind the gesture. But what? A magic spell? Another weapon technique? A fighting style? He tries to calculate possible outcomes while keeping himself focused on reading the surrounding mana.
A ground attack...? Setsuna holds himself back from moving preemptively until he's certain of what will happen next. He doesn't want to mistakenly dodge and be caught in a possible snare. One foot does motion backwards though, ready to react as soon as he realizes the next move.
It's hard to predict this because he has no idea of what the other Hero's second weapon can do. That's why when the staff suddenly expands and dangerously thrusts towards him, his eyes may have momentarily widened. But there's no second to spare; collecting himself after that split second of surprise, the youngest Meister dodges right on the last opportunity to do so. His cheek is grazed this time, causing a cut against his face but he at least escaped properly. ]
Not bad.
[ There aren't many others who can outwit him. He can tell, this Hero is also an experienced fighter like him. ]
