Chapter 8: A Small Spar
Chapter 8
A small spar with his elder sister was all that was asked and he already knew how woefully he was about to lose here. Other than physical strength, and innate control, there hadn't been any other major training he had been undergoing since he lacked the ability to manipulate external energy.
He was at a great disadvantage, and even if they would try to make things fair, he would still lose to Rikiyo's experience, with her being three years older than him.
He didn't bother to change what he was wearing as he slowly stood opposite his elder sister with his gaze intently fixed on her. He dared not blink once as he stood there, quickly taking a stance, bending his right leg forward as he arched his body to the side; both his arms were bent backward, and his hands folded into fists.
The spar began, and for a while, they both stood there staring at each other. He was gritting his teeth while clenching his fists as hard as he could, whilst she stood there staring at him like it was nothing.
" I'll just accept my fate." He thought, breathing in heavily as he immediately charged forward.
He instantly closed the gap between the both of them and went for a straight punch toward her. The attack though very predictable, was very fast and precise, but it was blocked like it was nothing.
All he could tell was that his hand was moving just a moment ago and had stopped the next. He immediately let him go after that, prompting him to step back immediately.
He charged forward immediately after that, trying every other attack he could but it was all to no avail. All while standing in the very same spot, she had blocked every single one of his attacks without breaking a sweat.
He had kept on increasing the amount of innate energy he used with each attack, but it never made a difference, and now he was completely exhausted.
Huffing and panting, he fell to his knees, bowing his head as his gaze turned to the ground. If only he could successfully land a single blow on her, then he was sure the tides of battle were certainly going to change.
