Her stance was transparent. Frankly, he didn't even need to use systemized thought to deduce her fighting style and intentions.
'Legs positioned to minimize lag in the transition to sprinting,' He noted. 'It can be inferred that she's going to be rushing at me the moment this fight begins. On top of that, a coiled upper body for maximal torque for a punch, based on the balled fist. So, a sprint and full-powered blow from the get-go, hm?'
Those weren't the only inferences to be made.
'She's not worried about the gaps in the defenses of her stance. She doesn't appear to have highly conditioned durability, either. Thus, it appears that she's going all out on her offense, disregarding defense, which means…' Rui made his choice in accordance with the stance evaluation system.
His arms rose up defensively as he spread his legs, dividing his weight equally. This was a stance that favored balance and stability without putting too much weight on maneuvering.
"Come," Rui commenced the battle.
She didn't hesitate.
WHOOSH!
She propelled herself forward at tremendous speeds, leaving behind a sonic boom in her wake as she raced forward toward Rui.
BOOM!
Her powerful blow crashed into his propped arm with overwhelming momentum. Yet her eyes widened as she felt the impact disappearing even before it could bloom. It was like water being drained away into a drain hole in a tub.
POW POW POW!
Rui blasted her with a barrage of blows after dispelling the impact of her attack cleanly with Flux Earther. She barely managed to block the sharply-timed swift attacks with her guard.
Yet…
