Rui racked his brain as he thought of a solution. He couldn't rely on the VOID algorithm. He couldn't really rely on his techniques alone. Their physical parameters were identical.

WHOOSH

Rui barely managed to evade a strike. ('The only difference lies in mind that is controlling the mental bodies if the second hypothesis is correct.')

If that was the case, then Rui very well might have a tactical advantage. If not, then he could reasonably be assured that the first hypothesis was true. After all, what were the odds that the symbiote that was not supposed to be genuinely intelligent or actually sentient had the same degree of tactical intelligence as him?

He highly doubted that it was able to gain somehow gain access to his tactical capability either. That would require a degree of supernatural absurdity that was too ridiculous even by the standards of this world. His tactical capability was a product of his consciousness operating on his memories and senses. If the symbiote was able to access that, then it would no doubt have already won by now.

BAM!

Rui reeled from a powerful Flowing Canon crashing into his guard as he was marginally outmaneuvered by the shadow clone. ('But how can I possibly out-strategize a superior version of myself?')

It didn't help that he was truly not accustomed to the VOID algorithm being this ineffective in battle. Because the VOID algorithms being used by both sides were identical, they more or less canceled each other out and their effect was not really felt. This meant that this was a fight where Rui was practically fighting without any help from the VOID algorithm.

When was the last time that genuinely happened? He couldn't even remember. He had always used the VOID algorithm in at least a minor capacity ever since he discovered his Martial Path nearly three years ago.
