Alex understood something from his current exchange. His body was way too weak to fight against the girl on its own.
If he wanted to win this match, he needed to help his body just a little bit.
He started using some Qi to improve his speed and defense. As for overall strength, he was okay with not doing much damage to the girl. After all, there was an alternate way to win for him.
Alex stepped back and let the girl get ready again, and once she was back up, he attacked.
The girl pulled her bowstring, only to realize that Alex was so much faster now. She could keep up, but it was definitely harder this time around.
Alex moved through the stage in a weird pattern to throw her off her aim, but the girl was way too good of an archer to get thrown off by something like that.
She let go of her bowstring and a fiery arrow came flying toward him. Alex struck it to parry it, but the girl used this opportunity to move as well.
