[ Caren will eventually find out that Setsuna is a combination of both. He's skilled in battle as he is intrepid. He isn't afraid to take risks if he calculates it as the better decision. Having only known the life of fighting, he's become dull against the sensation of fear. That's why even as she attacks his face, he isn't showing any emotion towards her approaching palm.
Setsuna tries to dodge it too, but that doesn't work this time because of her additional magic. As a natural trait of the Holy Knight, he's able to passively see the forming mana in front of her hand... But it happened more quickly than he could witness it. Before he could even process what's about to happen, the spell has already completed casting. She successfully manages to temporarily blind him. His eyes widen in their dazed state, but he doesn't panic.
Instead, he responds with several backflips to escape where he could sense her mana. Another natural trait of the Holy Knight is that he could feel the flowing mana around him, more strongly than others. So even though he's blind now, he can still use this to guide his movements. While his eyes are unfocused and is witnessing nothing but white, he closes them instead and begins to concentrate in place. He isn't sure if he'll be able to attack while he's like this, so he'll have to see how far his body will take him. ]
