A Student's Talent (Part 2)
Kai steadied himself against the gusting wind, gripping his sword tightly, his eyes alight with fierce determination.
His opponent, the Sword Hero Kiara, moved in a blur, her speed and precision beyond anything Kai had faced before.
His unique ability to read movements with accelerated vision gave him an advantage, but as Kiara closed the distance between them in mere seconds, he realized something crucial.

Kai's heart raced as he activated his sight once more, the air around him slowing down as his eyes tracked every movement of Kiara's sword, which crackled with a faint aura of soul energy.
But as she surged forward, her sword already cutting through the air, Kai's body couldn't keep up. His enhanced vision could perceive her every move, but his reflexes were too slow to dodge in time.
He barely leaned back, the blade skimming his face, sending a shockwave of wind that knocked him off balance.
