Despite the apparent recklessness of fighting without weapons, Jason's strategy focused on the use of his Barrier. This spell allowed him to nullify all the damage from the minotaur's powerful blows. The Barrier created a protective field that absorbed and deflected the minotaur's attacks, ensuring that Jason remained unscathed throughout the fight.
Fighting barehanded tested Jason's agility and precision. He needed to rely on his physical skills and quick reflexes to avoid or deflect attacks while strategically deploying the Barrier at critical moments. This approach required a high level of concentration and control, as any misstep could result in severe injury. He couldn't test blocking critical hits, after all.
Still, in the end, the experiment was confirmed to be a success, but he didn't feel that good since the core of the minotaur didn't appear.
