CHAPTER 28: IN THE FRACTION OF A SECOND

"But I wont this time. I think I know what to expect."

His glare sharply met hers with frightening violence. "You think you have a chance?"

"As long as you keep underestimating me and lowering your guard... then, yes."

She gave him no time to retort; a split second later, she was at his side, thrusting a fist toward his stomach and readily following it up with another hook toward his jaw when the first Was evaded.

That's it. If you control the fight, then he'll have an even harder time conjuring his ability.

Don't even give him a chance.

Every time Jisuk dodged, Jiwoo followed after him in tandem and holding a steady boost in speed with each attack.

But it didn't take long for the tide to turn toward his favor again.

Using a brief influence of wind to help his swift back-step, he took what small opening he had to her exposed shoulder and rounded his fist toward the blunt of her arm.

His attack landed with bone-cringing precision to her elbow joint, but when I thought she was going to crumble from the awkward impact and lose her flow, she tanked the attack and ducked his other fist before it could reach her.

She cushioned some of the damage by forcing her numen into her elbow. Excellent response timing, but...

That second attack was his next biggest mistake this round.

...even if she cushioned it, it didn't repel it completely, so her attacks won't be as explosive in her left arm.

She moved swiftly at his moment of weakness, jabbing her fist straight into his diaphragm and he stumbled backward as a result.

But her attacks never stopped there. She lunged at him and continued her onslaught without hesitation for her newest wound.

She's doing impressively, but if she keeps exerting her left elbow, then she might cause a more serious injury...

...she isn't doing too hot with numen control yet, so can she really figure out how to cast her arm and support it?

"Whoa! Jiwoo's moves are so fluid!" Ihyuk awed, eyes glued to the fight ahead. Jiyoung's immovable gaze briefly turned to his expression of amazement. "With her speed, she's able to move and attack with far more momentum and explosiveness!"

His words fell on the wrong ears. Jisuk, expression of struggle hardened into tensed anger.

"All you have is your speed, you pathetic fool!" Jisuk's raging caused a massive outburst of wind-like numen with enough force to throw Jiwoo backward.

Wind surrounded the enemy with palpable blight, tossing his hair and garments and ready to lash out at any given second.

Jisuk's fist, powered and surrounded by cutting edge wind, thrust straight toward Jiwoo's face, and she dodged it.

The wind cut through her sleeves and jabbed into her skin.

Panic striking her expression, she propelled herself backward with quickening speed to regain control, but Jisuk was hot on her tail with speed equal to hers.

"Jisuk is increasing his speed with wind! His control over his numen is as excellent as ever..." Ihyuk commented with a frown.

That's right...

Jiwoo narrowly missed his rushing attack, speeding back more and more only to be met with Jisuk's oncoming fists with each moment of vulnerability,

...he's completely adjusted to her speed.
