114 3.26 Start of the chaos

"Unknown doesn't scare me," Markus said as he charged towards me.

This move could be considered both brave and foolish. It was a good thing that he was not scared, but that doesn't mean he should charge in without analyzing his opponent's movement.

I was planning to make the match last a bit longer, but since he was getting all excited, I might have to end it sooner before he gets hurt. I could have just turned off the Dark flames and fought him at close range, but if I do that now, it might look like I am holding back.

'Time to go on a little rampage.'

When I was at the range of his sword, he attacked me from below. But this time, I pressed the ground and jumped backward right when the sword was about to touch my legs.

Now that there was some distance between us, it was time to put on a little display. I unleashed a Dark-flame slash at Markus but aimed it a little off so that it would just pass from his right.
