Stubbornness

"Ha… Ha…" Jay panted heavily. He had a hard time regaining his focus. His vision had deteriorated so much that he couldn't even see Rafael's face anymore. 

'My vision is already blurry. If he relies on speed, I won't be able to follow his movement. Still, I have to swing my sword. As long as there is an opponent standing before me, I have to keep swinging my blade. I can't stop yet!' Jay muttered inwardly. 

It was already hard to even stand up at this point. 

However, Jay still pointed his sword at Rafael.

Rafael didn't realize it yet, but he was actually smiling, acknowledging Jay. 

Rafael could see that the talent Jay had might not be comparable to Clovis. He had no hidden trump card because he was a rather straightforward guy. He just kept working hard until he could do it. 

But because of that reason, he wanted to settle this match in a straight way. Whoever was knocked out earlier would be the loser.
