Luan dropped his sword as an angry expression appeared on his face. "Fuck! Why do things never go as planned?"
Roan took his White Star back and shook his head, telling him, "You did catch me off guard there. I didn't expect you to be able to use your Space Powers to open a space in the aftermath of our own attacks. Normally, the remnant energy would only cause injuries and wouldn't let you pass through. That was a very good idea, actually."
Roan continued, "In any case, the difference that made you lose is that I'm a lot more experienced than you. Doesn't matter when or how. I'm always alert for any possibilities, as unlikely as they might be. With that said, what you need to work on is your follow-ups. In a battle at the same level, you have to think about your moves ten, twenty, and thirty moves in the future, as well as countermeasures for everything. If you don't do that, you won't beat me."
