Q:
Что значит X was already inside Y's guard?
A:
Hmm. This is tough. If I had to guess, I would say that this means something like “X was already past Y’s defenses, making it easy for X to defeat Y.”
Or, it could mean something like “X grabbed his blade VERY quickly, almost instantly, and then immediately slapped Y’s rapier to the side.”
It’s hard to say, honestly. Hopefully one of those scenarios makes sense with the story!

Other questions about "X"

(A correction) 'Are you the type of person who has a casual relationship with many people, a the type of person who has intense relationship with a few people.'
A:
もっとも自然なのは、"Are you the type of person who has a casual relationship with many people, or an intense relationship with only a few? だと思います。 しかし、theの問題は、深い説明が要ると思います。 Theと言うと、相手の知っている(あるい、すぐ知る)名詞を他のものから区別し示すのです。でも、この場合では、そのpersonは他の人と区別されていません。 区別されているのはtypeですから。 The type to...と言ったら、ニュアンスは「他のことをするtypeではなく、こうするtypeだ」です。Personという言葉は、そのように区別されていないので、theが要りません。 ちなみに、type of Xは、英語の決まった表現で、theか aが入ってしまったら、変に聞こえます。 私の説明は雑ですが、役に立つと望んでいます。
Q:
現在完了形でsince X years agoは一緒に使えないって本当ですか?
I found the fact that English education in Japan teach that we cannot use ‘ago' with present perfect tense, and it seems to be very basic rule even secondary school students know.
I have never been taught such a rule in my school time, although I was sleeping in English classes.
If I say 'I have been learning British English since 2011.' or 'I have just opened the parcel 10 minutes ago.', then do you think it 'an awkward English'?

A:
I don't think it is 'an awkward expression' to say those sentences :) but, sometimes people would say 'I just opened the parcel' instead, because it seems better :) but I understand the other sentence too
