Where others saw invincibility, Rui saw shortcomings.

First, while it was true that Fernan was able to output a huge amount of power from a huge distance away, the way he applied that power was highly inflexible.

The trajectory of the attack was linear. Linear attacks were easier to predict than attacks with a curving trajectory, this was a universal fact. The fact that Rui could effortlessly predict the trajectory of the attack well ahead of time mean that as long as he tweaked his predictive model just a little bit to Fernan's unique situation, it was almost comically easy to predict Fernan to the T

Specifically, Rui looked at his altitude rather than the wings itself. Whenever Fernan prepared an attack, he would stop the rapid flapping of his wings to maintain altitude and stretch them back to launch a powerful wind attack. This caused his altitude to drop just a bit since he wasn't flapping them to maintain his altitude. That was what Rui paid attention to.

The mistake his previous opponents made were trying to keep with his speedy flapping in order to react to his attacks. However, Rui merely kept an eye on his altitude and timed his movements with respect to fluctuations in that.

Because his predictions were pristine, he was able to spend a very little amount of energy for evasion. The guests were mesmerized as Rui danced away from Fernan's attacks with ease.

This was another flaw in Fernan's long-range strategy. Generating wind blasts cost a lot of energy, Rui knew this for a fact with his own Tempestuous Ripple technique. Neither side was hurting the other side, yet Fernan was expending far more energy than Rui was. Astronomically more.

Rui merely needed to exert himself mildly while Fernan need to execute one of those mighty swings each time he wanted to launch his attack.

This was the elementary adapted fighting style that Rui had created to counter Fernan's long-range style.

Not every adapted style was flashy. Not every adapted style needed to be flashy. Sometimes the most effective path to victory was the quietest and the most passive.

Besides, Rui didn't think he was quite on the path to victory yet. He absolutely confident that Fernan was capable of much more than just being a static flying air canon.
