Smack! Smack! Smack.
Sounds of fighting reverberated throughout the stadium, almost drowning out all the cheering that was happening.
Hundreds of fights were happening at the same time.
At the same moment, the third fight between Karuza High and Kaleidos High was about to begin.
"Kyler Connors versus Julian Noah!"
The referee pointed at the two fighters. Then she pointed towards the sky, backed off, and swung her arm down as if it were a whip.
"Fight!"
Kyler ground his teeth together and lunged at Julian. He started punching like there was no tomorrow, as if he just couldn't wait to beat the crap out of him.
'It isn't about strength. Think of stillness, and let your movements flow like water.'
Julian thought to himself and then pressed the sides of his hands against Kyler's fist, parrying them away as if he were using Rendering Edge.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The punches missed him.
'Isn't that rock-solid defense?'
