The fighter called Night Raven was a rather tall practitioner. He had a white mask covering his mouth and had green shade in his eyes. Just like me, he was without any weapon. However, that made me more cautious against this new opponent of mine.
He had long hands and fast legs. The moment the judge started the match, he started circling me. The spectators weren't so sure about my victory now and the cheering had subsided. Even they didn't think that I could win against a Meridian Opening practitioner. Everyone had a limit, after all.
I started with Shining Rush to boost my speed and shot to my right side. We met in a flash of movement, clashing against each other by exchanging punches. I wanted to measure his strength here.
'Tempest Fists!'
Contrary to the expectations of the audience, there was no booming sound. There, finally appeared my first hurdle.
