“I expected no less from Mr. Card’s idea. It’s impressive indeed,” remarked Ballmer, dressed in black, as he deftly blocked his opponent’s advance. He floated back, putting a distance between them.
“Although we’re fighting so openly, the supervisors couldn’t stop us,” he added.
“Come on now, this is hardly a fight, more like a chance encounter. In a duel like this, where our strengths are evenly matched, it’s normal to spar for hours without a clear victor.” Ness, the man dressed in white, chuckled as he smoothly countered Ballmer’s move.
“You have a point. We’re adversaries destined to clash upon meeting. It’s hardly a planned rendezvous.”
Ballmer and Ness exchanged a series of palm strikes, then separated lightly, each complimenting the other.
“Your dominance and strength are unparalleled. What an impressive palm technique!”
“Likewise. Your internal energy is formidable and resilient.”
“Hahaha, color me impressed!”
“Hahaha, likewise, likewise!”
