Taking a small side-step to dodge a charge by the Dire Werewolf, Umichi replied to Fujiwara, "Well, I doubt anyone else has [b]<<Acrobatics>>[/b] so I doubt anyone else but me can reach that high. Also ... it's stuck in there pretty good, so I can't actually pull it out or even push it in further, I can't pierce the chest from the back by pushing it deeper, so let's just let it die slowly." Explaining the situation at hand, as the Dire Werewolf charged into the nearby tree.

"Well, while I dodge all of this let me explain some of the terms Ayame. DoT stands for damage over time. It refers to a type of attack that ..." The Dire Werewolf slashed at him, he jumped onto it's claw. "continuously damages the enemy for a set amount of time generally speaking. Some DoT can kill the enemy, others cannot, it depends on the structure of a game." The other claw came to slash at him, he back-flipped once more. "Aggro on the other hand refers to aggression. I am not sure how to explain it too well, but it means making the enemy angry. When someone ..." The Dire Werewolf went to bite his head once more, and he dive rolled to his right. A Dire Wolf came to him, at the end of his roll he bounced, and ended up on top of the Dire Wolf by pure coincidence. [i] Wonder if I can ride this thing.[/i] Umichi became curious over such a possibility. There was no way to control it's direction and it was headed towards Paka. Jumping off and dashing away to keep the Dire Werewolf away from everyone, he continued his explanation, "When someone takes aggro, it means that the enemy is currently targeting that person. Therefore the attacks are directed to that person. A good way to juggle aggro exists in this game. It's an outside system skill called [b]<<Switch>>[/b] that can occur between party members, switching the aggro from one player to another. This allows players to switch positions mid-battle to recover HP and burden the learning abilities of AI-controlled monsters. Was there anything else you needed to learn?" he asked Ayame, finishing his explanation, still dodging the Dire Werewolf.

More than two minutes had passed since the start of his explanation, it's health was almost red. "Almost there guys." Hitting the red portion of health, the beast howled once more, it appeared to have gotten bigger, but as it went to attack Umichi, it's pattern was the same. "No change in attack pattern, that's good." However, he underestimated the size change, getting a few claw scratches, barely cutting him. His health dropped about 10% from the small scratches. Having still a 1323 health left from the damage he received in total. It wasn't too much, but he would rather not take any more.
