In a single breath, they collided.

The ground underneath them shook as a mini crater formed while the shockwave was enough to disrupt the air currents.
Even though Defender class Guardians were known for their defense, that did not mean that their offense would be looked down on.
A prerequisite for Defender class was that one must have sufficient physical strength to fight, if not how could you be the strong wall to protect your squad members?
Thus, their physical strength added a great boon to their offensive capabilities, allowing them to exert blows on the level of actual offensive classes.
Thus, the result of their first collision did not elicit that much of a reaction from those watching as they patiently waited for their fight to end.
