A friendly match (4)

The two then dashed again, but the fight was going to end soon, given how it was progressing. Anderson was now having too many problems keeping up with Erik, not only because the awakener had stepped up his game but also because he was tired.

The fight went differently from how he imagined: despite knowing that Erik had won against Nathaniel, he still thought himself to be able to win.

After all, when they were still at school, he and Nathaniel were on the same level, and he didn't even need to use his brain's crystal power to achieve that same level of power.

It was true he lost against him during the tournament, but that was only a single defeat. He had won against him other times, and that loss didn't mean much.
