>>5892189Glaring profusely at one another, both you and Satsuki ramped up into a series of attack rushes and parries. Machine gun-like sounds echo across the room as both you and Satsuki match each other blow for blow. The Kiryuuin clan heiress was doing exceptionally well for a human. Already she had shown before you awakened the peak performance physique that pushes its physicality to nigh-superhuman levels. But since her first taste of True Life-Fiber Synchronization, she was gradually stepping into the realm of the superhuman.
Thus, while you set yourself to fighting with the sheer strength and performance of a mere human, you didn't limit your capability far more than one would presume. From her imposing fighting spirit alone, you could tell that Satsuki Kiryuin was not to be trifled with. Even so, as you continued to exchange a barrage of punches and kicks in between dodging and pairing Satsuki's sword strikes. You still refrain from going all out. Feeling rather vexed that Satsuki wasn't using everything in her arsenal despite giving her all at you.
Every sword swing that came your way was either deflected through the brunt of your knuckle, outmaneuvered by your graceful technique, or downright countered through pinpoint accuracy from your cross-counter blow. It has only been a month since you used this synthesized body, yet it felt as if it was always intrinsic to you. It was moving precisely how you desired at all times, allowing you to essentially dominate the fight with no wasted movements or long-winded attacks. It was a battle between an enlightened grandmaster against a young prodigy master.
As the tides start to turn in your favor, you begin to back Satsuki into a corner with your next series of attacks. A punch to the face, a quick turn to the side, followed up with a roundhouse kick to the waist. Smoothly transitioning into an uppercut to the face, simultaneously blocking the next sword swing with the side of your forearm. Throwing in some feints with some rabbit punches and swift kicks, you staggered your blow accordingly. Completely throwing off Satsuki as she was forced into the defensive.
"Are you mocking me by continuing to fight at this level Junketsu?!" Satsuki narrowed her eyes with a shout, already quantifying through those series of punches and kicks that you were far stronger than you led on. To which it was true considering you took very little to no damage in your bout with Satsuki. Compared to that, she was far more scuffed up by the various exchanges. Yet she still stands firm with unwavering conviction overpowering her battle-damaged body.
"No, I think you're the one who is insulting me, Satsuki. Or do you believe that you can beat me without using my power as well?" Glaring profusely at Satsuki, you snarled in response as you cracked your knuckles together.
