The instructor's eyes widened as he barely managed to dodge the strike, but Lucas anticipated the evasion. Using the momentum, he spun around and delivered a sharp elbow to the instructor's side.
THUD—!!!
The impact made the instructor stagger backward, clutching his ribs.
Lucas panted, wiping the sweat from his brow. "I'm just getting warmed up."
The instructor let out a short laugh, standing up straight again. "So am I, Cadet. Let's see how long you can keep up."
With a new burst of energy, the instructor rushed forward, his movements even faster and more relentless than before.
The instructor did a sidekick, but Lucas blocked it with his left arm. Lucas wasn't done with just blocking—he gripped the instructor's leg with his right arm and pulled it toward him.
The instructor frowned, quickly responding with a punch to Lucas's chest.
THUD—!!
