('She's starting exert herself.') He noted. It was easier for the VOID algorithm to work against a more static opponent, but now that she was fighting more dynamically, things would grow harder.
He didn't mind, he needed to be pushed if he wanted to test the prowess of his Mind Palace technique.
He felt a wave of excitement. He had waited for a long time for what was about to happen.
It was time.
His preparations were complete. Everything was in place.
It was time.
Time to find out whether his efforts with the Mind Palace technique were in vain, or not.
She stepped forward, shifting her weight onto her left foot as she launched jab with her right arm.
Rui's eyes widened as his mind flashed into the Mind Palace.
('Probability of right-left-right combo; ninety-two percent.')
And almost like magic, his prediction unfolded.
Kyrie threw a right jab followed by a left and another right jab in rapid succession. She had completely expected it to land on him.
Yet;
WHOOSH WHOOSH WHOOSH
He cleanly weaved past her strikes with his maneuvering techniques, boosted by Wind Breathing and Primordial Instinct as he threw a weighted speedy jab at her.
BAM!
It crashed into a hasty guard, she had just barely managed to intercept the strike. She retreated, surprised. She had managed to completely close the distance between when she launched that speedy combo, it should have been impossible for him evade it in those circumstances, let alone land an attack while evading.
Yet he danced passed her attacks and launched a powerful strike before her attack was even over.
Rui's fixated on her as he watched her every movement like a hawk. Her every shift, twitch and movement.
Her body shifted weight, yet her arms were steady.
('Side kick; ninety-four-percent.) He computed as he flashed through the data in his Mind Palace.
He launched a crouching sweeping kick cleanly avoiding her side kick as his kick crashed into her ankle.
Yet again.
He dodged both attacks as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. Kyrie got the impression he wasn't even reacting, it was as though he already knew what move was the best to make. She launched a swift jab, hoping to tag him.
WHOOSH
Rui yet again, casually evaded her blow as he completely invaded her space with ease, launching a speedy jab of his own
WHOOSH
She swerved, evading the attack, yet before she could even counter, another attack from Rui had already arrived to the location she had moved to.
BAM!
The attack crashed into a hastily conjured guard.
She summersaulted away, opening up some distance.
('He knew exactly where I was going to be even before I did!') She realized, shocked.
