Alice, who had already regulated her breathing and regained some of her spent strength, stared at Samuel, who also had a serious expression; the relaxed and casual state completely disappeared.
The tension in the air is palpable as the two prepare for the second round while murmuring can be heard from the stands.
Seeing that Alice has no intention of attacking first, Samuel decides to attack first to end this quickly because he didn't expect a newcomer to put up such a fight when he has been in this place for a few years.
The first exchange of blows is fast. Samuel advances with an accurate blow, but Alice dodges with elegance and counterattacks with a series of quick cuts. Samuel is forced to retreat but doesn't give up, counterattacking with ferocity and looking for gaps in Alice's defense.
