Gritting my teeth in preparation, I let every single training session I had ever gone through come to the fore. I would need it to handle the monster before me who was attacking ruthlessly. Ducking his moves, I steeled my nerves, assessing all his moves. Internalizing what I would need to defeat him, coupled with our first round.
He's good...But he relies more on the brute force of his punches and forgets to adjust his form...
Grinning, I took a deep breath, preparing myself for offense.
"Don't look so cocky. I have you on the ropes, Luna."
He spat, throwing a kick that I effectively evaded before summersaulting back, putting enough distance between us for my next moves.
"Are you sure about that? Really think about the last couple of minutes and the fact that you haven't landed a single blow on me despite your increased speed."
