Rising One (18)

Masaki and the seconds sat Ryusei down and told him to calm down. They tried to soothe him, saying to take it slow and that if he got too excited, the fight would completely turn in the opponent's favor.

On Yu Jung-ak's side, there wasn't much discussion. They simply told him to keep doing what he was doing. He was performing so well that there was no need for additional advice. Yu Jung-ak was managing his stamina well and, above all, was fighting cleverly while staying focused on Ryusei. So there was no need for the seconds to disrupt his concentration.

Surprisingly, Ryusei lowered his stance and raised his guard. The reason he raised his guard was simple: to prevent cuts.

Bang!

Yu Jung-ak's jab hit Ryusei's guard.
