55 Surprisingly Inexperienced (1/2)
”What again?”, Paul asked, he didn't quite catch that, 'Workout? Is that what he said?'
”Brother, I came here to improve myself by getting advices to you, fellow practitioners.”, Rin cupped his fist and bowed a bit politely. It sounded sarcastically because it is.
”Umm, okay.”, Paul took it seriously and didn't how to respond, ”…. Then…”, His eyes rolled left and right. He sweated, unable to think what to respond. ”I will advice you!”, Paul assumed a stance and said something that he thought was appropriate.
Rin held his laughter from his stomach and followed Paul and assumed a stance. He then said, ”I will take your advice carefully, fellow practitioner!”, behind the facemask was a huge smile. Paul might be acting stupid but it was still funny how he took a sarcasm. It greatly threw what Rin's first impression of Paul off the track.
However, Rin was still in trouble. He didn't know how to deal with a Second Stage of Focus. He deeply thought how he defeated Dragger back then. How he successfully hid his [cheat].
”Oh…”, Rin's smile widened and at the same time his body suddenly thrust forward and gain momentum, 'I just need to fight with all I got!' he readied his fist.
Paul just stared at him but then after observing his opponent, he closed his eyes, ”I see that you're strong”, Paul nodded agreeing with himself, ”But only in terms of pure physical strength!”, he too then punched forward in where Rin's punch was directed at while Paul's body glowed blue.
Pa!* both fist smashed to each other but Rin lost with a huge margin and bones cracked again. In this time, however , in Rin's fist before he was sent flying a meter away after the first round of exchange.
In the spectator's eyes, Rin was already a dead man. In fact, a stupide dead man. Why would he choose to fight a Second Stage of Focus Practitioner while being in the First Stage of Focus while being aware of it? However, to those who've witnessed the fight between Rin and Dragger in the Level 1 cage, they knew that the fight won't end that easily.
Only a night and day have past when they last saw this man fight. It was unexpected and blood boiling! When they heard the name Rin, a bell immediately rang inside of their head and a thought appeared in their mind, 'The Zombie!'
They kept their calm and just watched silently along with all the others who are silent too.
Inside the cage, Paul sighed while looking at the pitiful state Rin was in.
Rin held his arm, again in pain. He didn't want to show any of the abilities. The fact that he can't die if he include that as an ability but was really safe to assume that it was a cheat along the forced Natural Energy with it. He also have no idea if it was a common knowledge to direct all Natural Energy into one place to heal a specific part of the body but then again, he's the only one he saw who have done that so it is better to hide it as well.
