Chapter 52: The Result of Guessing the Fist
In an academic match, no one can tell what will go wrong with the opponent in the end, but Leo is 100% sure of what the opponent will come up with.
It sounds a bit ridiculous, and it all started when he was still taking the exam for Gaswell.
At that time, Leo followed Ryan to learn combat skills, and one of the advanced countermeasures that Rheth taught him was guessing boxing.
According to Ryan, judging the strength of a warrior, the control and use of the original energy is a crucial part, and the other part is to predict the enemy's movements, such as the direction of the sword, how much force is used, etc., so as to make effective responses.
At first, Leo didn't agree with Ryan's statement, because in his opinion, predicting the enemy's movements was a bit ethereal, and it was almost impossible to guess. But it wasn't until Ryan asked for a guessing punch and Leo lost ten in a row that he finally believed that as long as he mastered a certain skill and his own perception reached a certain level, he could indeed make accurate predictions about the enemy's movements.
The beating of muscles, the flow of eyes, the rhythm of breathing, and even the speed of blood flow can betray a person's true thoughts, so that the opponent can see through the movement. Of course, this requires not only a keen sense of insight on the part of the observer, but also a very fast reaction in order to have a chance to react.
After teaching Leo some methods of judgment, Ryan emphasized that this method is very common in high-level fighters, but it is not used much in low-level and mid-level battles. Especially before you have fully integrated the prediction technique, you should never try to use it. Because a mistake may bring about the consequences of ruining the miรจ character, it is better to follow the steps step by step.
And now, about to have a guess with Kamoya, Leo is naturally sure that he will not lose.
As a level 3 mage, Kamoya's perception may be good, but it is impossible to master the technique of controlling the body. At the same time, some physical reactions cannot be compared to Leo, who has been trained.
In the audience, the others did not know about this matter, even the level 3 warrior Niri had not been exposed to this advanced technique, and for a while, the atmosphere became tense again.
Kamoya has already lost one game, and if he loses again, it will be equivalent to losing the duel. The young mages of the Pale Hand admired Leo very much, but in their hearts. But I don't want to lose the duel. After all, after so many days of hard work, if you go back empty-handed, it won't look good to anyone.
Forado, on the other hand, was even more preoccupied, hesitating what to do next.
"Then let's get started, how about a best-of-five game?" Leo didn't want to delay any longer, and said directly. Of course, he wouldn't want to win a game, or a best-of-three game, because he hadn't practiced that technique for a long time. Most likely, a little bit of a try will be needed.
Kamoya didn't doubt him, and immediately responded, "That's fair. โ
Leo nodded expressionlessly, deliberately not showing a relaxed look: "Attention, I'm going to count down." โ
"Three!"
"Two!"
"One!"
Both punched at the same time. But unlike Kamoa's simple punches, Leo is always watching for any subtle changes.
As the fist was about to fall, Leo finally noticed a noticeable throbbing of the tendons in Kamoya's arm. Foreshadowing that he will give a sharp knife.
This short reaction time of ten seconds may be too short for ordinary people, but it is not very difficult for Leo. Because he gave the stone logically.
Unsurprisingly, Leo emerged victorious. The score was 1-0.
A cheer and a lament rang out at the same time, but no one noticed Leo's abnormality, and no one imagined that he would be able to judge in advance what punch his opponent would throw.
............
The tiebreaker of the fifth game came quickly, and in fact, Leo had already made up his mind after winning the first game, but he deliberately lost two more games to avoid being seen.
Once again, the entire hall was enveloped in a tense atmosphere, and everyone did not expect that a game of guessing would be so torturous. And Kamoya was even more sweaty, praying in his heart that he would never lose the last game.
However, Ms. Fate did not favor him, or Leo used cheating to take over Ms. Lucky.
There was no suspense, and Leo finally defeated Kamoa 3-2, and the duel ended here.
Although Kamoya lost, she let out a long sigh as if she had been pardoned. He wasn't satisfied with the results, but it paid off to be able to learn something new from Leo today.
Leo smiled, looked at Forado, and said, "According to the agreement, the demon's soul should belong to us, do you have any opinion?"
"......No," Forado replied helplessly, and then added, "Now we have to hurry up and have time, I'll help you seal the Demon Soul into the Sealing Box first." โ
"Thank you for your kindness, but no more. And now that the mission is accomplished, I think it's time for everyone to separate. Leo replied with a smile on his face.
Although his attitude is still peaceful, such words make everyone clearly feel his attitude, that is, distrust of Forado. Several of the young mages of the Pale Hand looked at Forado and Leo, not understanding what was going on between them.
At this moment, Forado has made a new decision, killing Leo is not the right thing to do, and the Demon Souls must be obtained, which can be regarded as a self-bargain in his heart.
With this in mind, Forado hurriedly said, "Is it not wise to separate? The situation outside is still not bright, and we should still pool our forces and deal with it together. โ
As soon as his words fell, a slight fluctuation suddenly rippled over, and after just a few seconds, the manic and bloody feeling that pervaded the place also disappeared without a trace.
Vicky reacted the fastest, and immediately shouted: "The evil suppression is over?
"That's true. Leo replied in the affirmative, but it felt very strange in his heart.
Even if Sula has the strength of the gods, it will still cost a lot to forcibly open a portal that can pass through the army. But why did they leave quietly after such a big move?
Fortunately, with this situation, Forado finally had no reason to stay.
Forado really had no reason, and his face became ugly for the first time, but in the end he could only shake his head helplessly and take the lead towards the passage.
And at this moment, with a buzzing sound, a feather arrow suddenly shot out! (To be continued......)
