Shoichi's strength was proving to be more and more powerful than Seiya originally thought.
His first impression of the boy was really off and Seiya felt nearly betrayed by his own thoughts considering how old he was when he first started fighting himself.
He wasn't that far off from Shoichi's age when he began his own journey and yet this boy seemed to be more powerful than Seiya had been and with no mentors guiding his path he could only wonder how dangerous this boy would've been if they were the same age or if he even had proper instruction.
'' This kid, he's almost like a monster in the shape of a young boy. '' Seiya thought to himself as he was being assaulted by the multitude of strikes that came.
Seiya forced Shoichi back by using his blade to redirect the force Shoichi was applying and with that moment of opportunity Seiya attempted to punch the orange haired boy.
