1213 Underestimated

Alas, he too underestimated Rui.

WHOOSH!

Where Rui was a moment ago, was nothing besides an empty image. His eyes widened in shock as he realized that Rui had side-stepped him with ease.

('He dodged me despite attacking them?') He gritted his teeth. "Damn you!"

He launched a barrage of powerful and swift blows, breathing deeply as he manipulated the entirety of the air behind to push his body forward, increasing his speed and power tremendously.

Yet all of them failed to reach Rui. He evaded them with a degree of proficiency that only Kane could surpass.

Yet it wasn't the failure of the attacks that hurt Squire Varay the most.

It was the fact that Rui wasn't even looking at him.

Everyone could see that he had firmly turned his attention back to the two Martial Squires that he had been targeting.

That was a statement.

A statement that Squire Varay wasn't even worth acknowledging.
