56 Underhanded Victory

The battle began with the katana-wielding girl taking the initiative, dashing towards Cyanide at incredible speed. Cyanide had checked her stats with Inspect II earlier and discovered that while she was only Level 21, she had an AGI stat of 100, which was higher than Cyanide's own.

Naturally, this meant she was lacking elsewhere—and Cyanide planned to exploit that.

First of all, since her INT stat was still the default value of just 1, she couldn't use any Soul Arts. However, Cyanide decided not to use any Soul Arts in this duel, since that might make the girl complain about how he didn't wear fairly or something like that, then he would have to fight her again… and it'll just be a pain.

Secondly, Cyanide saw that the girl only had a STR stat of 50, while Cyanide's own was 60. Now this, he could abuse. This meant when it came to a showdown of raw muscular strength and nothing more, Cyanide would emerge victorious.
