AN: MB, got busy playing Palworld lol

Suddenly, Hiroyuki disappeared on his spot, and the next thing that Toji knew, a fist was already inches away from smacking against his face.

*swoosh~*

Toji, being the top-tier fighter that he is, had no problem dodging the attack obviously. But the fact that he was almost caught off guard is still a surprise to him to an extent.

'This kid is unbelievably fast.'

As Hiroyuki started raining his attacks on him, Toji just kept dodging all of them by jumping around, while observing each of Hiroyuki's movements. Because as the fight started getting heated up, he noticed something.

Initially, he thought that despite being hailed as talented by many, Hiroyuki was just subpar when it came to basically 'fighting' in general. He may be talented amongst his peers, but there are just some things that can only be obtained through real experience.

But now that he's seeing it beforehand...

*swiish~*

*swoosh~*

*woosh~*

'His speed is one thing, but the preciseness of his movements and positioning..."

Toji is having a hard time believing that he's facing a kid who supposedly hasn't been in the field or without experience yet. If he didn't know anything, he would've probably assumed that this kid was already being sent on some missions already.

He's that good.

"But, too bad. You could've been in a much better position given a couple more years. Right now, the difference between us is still just too big, so..." Toji thought to himself as a cunning smile appeared on his face.

He decided that his assessment was already complete and it was finally the time to make his move.

*swoosh!*

That's why, when Hiroyuki jumped midair and then threw a chop toward his neck, Toji dodged it again with ease but instead of backing off like he's been doing since the start of this fight, he now proceeded to make a slight maneuver that had easily put Hiroyuki in a pretty awkward position midair.

"Gotcha~"

After that, not waiting for Hiroyuki to make a recovery, with the intent of finishing this fun little fight as soon as possible, Toji sent a pretty strong kick towards him.

*woosh~!*

*Thud!*

'Huh??'

The kick landed and Hiroyuki... managed to block it, surprisingly enough. Given his awkward position, he still managed to precisely move his body in a way that would allow him to block the kick and reduce the impact as much as possible. Truly a surprising feat.

'What was that just now?'

But apart from that, something else happened that made Toji more surprised and confused at the same time.

The kick that Toji sent was pretty strong, that's why even though Hiroyuki managed to block it and reduce the impact to some degree, he was still sent a couple of yards away rolling.

However, Toji doesn't want to cause massive injury to him and make this whole thing an issue. That's why he made it only strong enough to knock some air out and possibly end the fight.

That didn't happen cause Hiroyuki managed to block the attack but still, Toji assumed that he would've gotten a bruise from that at least.

But Hiroyuki, apart from the dirt that got to him while stumbling on the ground, looks pretty fine right now and it seems that he didn't suffer any kind of injury at all.
