"Begin!"
—Bang!
Sever was the first to move, dashing straight toward Bolder with a powerful strike. But instead of countering, Bolder took a defensive stance, calmly blocking the attack.
—Clang!
Sever didn't let up. He continued attacking with wild, aggressive strikes, using every technique he had learned. Bolder remained composed, defending and dodging each blow with grit and focus, his teeth clenched.
Seeing Bolder on the defensive, Sever taunted him again.
"What's wrong? Did you go soft?!"
"Planning to stay in defense the whole time?!"
Still, Bolder didn't respond. He kept a cool head, focusing only on the battle in front of him.
