There were plenty of things Rui had learned today. He learned that when a person abandons and sacrifices the prospects of winning, the prospects of actually inflicting damage on their opponents, all for the sake of stalling for ten minutes, it was pretty difficult to stop them from succeeding at that humble goal.
In a normal fight, they would die immediately after ten minutes, but not in this fight. In this fight, they would win if they succeeded.
He had been surprised that even Neo Godspeed and the predictive model together had been unable to weave past their attacks, but he also noticed that they had diluted their power and spread them wider. Yet it had done them good.
The reason for that was because it took less power to parry his charges away than to hurt him.
They compensated for a speed gap with a large area of effect by sacrificing potency.
It was a good counter.
They had adapted and evolved to him very well.
Rui froze.
