Turnaround

They were arrogant words at face value, yet one could tell Rui was not merely grandstanding.

He meant every word.

That was why many could not help but believe him. 

Perhaps it really was too late. Perhaps they should have taken him down sooner, and no longer had any chance of doing so.

Almost as if to prove a point, Rui moved, rushing forward toward them.

His eyes were fixed on the Martial Squire closest to him. He lashed forward, launching his most powerful attack!

A powerful Flowing Canon flew in the direction of his closest competitor. Ordinarily, an attack from so far away would be easier to dodge.

Yet Rui knew he wouldn't dodge.

The man he was targeting was a powerful defensive Martial Artist with a body that was slanted toward passive defense. 

"Come!" The man firmly planted his feet into the ground, while adopting a defensive stance.
