Though he had never actually face hardlight technology, he read up on some Iconoclast research into the possibility of developing it. So he knew some of its properties - not like that would help him if he were to be hit by the projectile made from it though. After jumping back through the air he landed on the ground and quickly took to an Iaijutsu sword drawing stance before a deafening crack followed by a white light ignites from Lucien's position: a flashbang. A sword draw so fast that it was covered by the detonation of the flashbang, Lucien's blade cut through the hard light through the blinding of the detonation. The first thing would Ronin see after the flashbang would be three kunai knives aiming for his face whilst a blue-flaming sword sliced upwards across his torso.
