"Begin."
As soon as the match had begun, Alexander was still steadying his breathing.
This would prove to be a massive mistake against his opponents...if they were either Alan or Lucas.
Alexander was fast, not even Alan could keep up with his speed for a long time.
And for such a fast man, not charging the moment the match began was wrong.
...but that applied only to people who knew about his speed, like Alan and Lucas.
If they saw this, they would have been cautious, but fortunately for him, his opponent was neither.
He didn't know about his speed.
He didn't know about his insane reflexes.
And so, his opponent stupidly shot a fireball toward him.
A fireball that covered his entire vision...yet appeared to be so slow.
Why is it so slow?
Alexander wondered.
It moved so slowly, it was as if he could cut it into fifty different pieces before it even reached him.
As if he could steady his breathing before it reached him.
