[That's fine! He's got a basic sword and has never fought against someone using a polearm before?? He's plenty experienced against other swords but he has no training for that because who the fuck uses a polearm in this day and age. Still, he knows, objectively, how to fight longer weapons. They have a larger range, but that works to their disadvantage in close quarters combat.
It takes a certain amount of boldness to pull that off, of course, but van Zieks is equal to it, and he's going for it. He may be a fancy man, but he's off the chain today, and even if he wasn't, he's unfortunately got a lot of hands on practice swordfighting in life or death situations.]
Don't get overconfident just because you have a flashy weapon! [He isn't using the sharp edge of his blade, though. Because he doesn't want to accidentally murder.]
