No one could answer that question. They just had to continue watching. They saw their young master run to meet his opponent. He was weaving about as he ran so that it would be more difficult to target him.
His tactic succeeded. His opponent fired the bauling and missed him. But the distance between them is reducing which will make dodging more difficult to do.
The Martial teacher groaned, "He has a good head on his shoulders. But if only he had learned some movement techniques, he might be able to dodge this."
Their young master's movements while good at confusing his enemy are also sloppy to the trained eye. He was making unnecessary movements that wasted his energy and reduced his speed. If he was faster he would have covered the distance of a kilometer by now. But he was slow so he made it possible for his opponent to prepare the bauling for a third shot.
