Zeon Military Academy on Guardian Banchi, Side Three (Republic of Zeon)</span>
Before you left for Side Seven you agreed to fight your bunkmate Rix. Now that you're back at the academy it has become <span class="mu-i">very</span> clear that might have been a mistake.
Stepping back across the canvas, arms in a low guard, you void blow after blow as the short man continues his furious assault, his almost ogre-like brow set in a furrow and a huge violent grin spread across his rough face. You’re pretty good in a fight, but he must have been born to do this - He’s built like a tank, utterly muscle bound and with arms considerably thicker than your thighs, and in a fight like this the stout bastard somehow still moves with frightening speed despite his short height and stocky nature. Punch after punch pistons in, an unrelenting onslaught. Only your advantage in reach and longer legs have kept you from falling already - You’re sneaking in occasional blows, a few even struck his face, but they don’t do much to deter Rix. Glove or not, it’s like smashing your hand into a brick wall.
Elsewhere in the training gym other cadets are going at it in their own matches, but quite a few are gathered around your ring and watching. You don’t have time to identify all the others, too busy keeping from getting absolutely jackhammered by Rix’s unrelentingly aggressive attacks, but Tiff, Blare, and Izumi are all here, along with your siblings and the two Zabis - It seems that a lot of people wanted to watch this.
You're probably not going to win, that's almost certain already, but at least it’s all in good fun - Right?
“Only a coward retreats endlessly! Fight! Die as a warrior, Max!” Izumi shouts, the dark haired girl drawing alarmed looks from some of the other cadets nearby. Tiff agrees loudly, screaming out something even more violent you don’t quite make out as Rix manages to land a blow to your chest - The concussion is tremendous, knocking the air right out of you for half a moment, but you manage to recover and continue keeping away from the worst of it for now. Slipping for even a moment in a fight like this is inviting instantaneous punishment.
>Screw it, Izumi’s not wrong, you can’t just stay on the defensive - Attack, attack, attack! Today is a good day to die!
>As lightning fast as Rix is, you’re used to fighting against Casval - Perhaps if you really push yourself you can outmatch his speed. Yes, you’re sure to win because your speed is superior.
>Take a moment to center yourself and use your greater perception to predict Rix’s moves, perhaps there is a path to victory through finesse and prediction.
