Shin was currently lying on the ground and staring blankly at the sky. He lost his battle against David and it seemed to be a one-sided battle.
The unexpected reflexive dodge and counter that he did earlier at the start of the battle was just a fluke. Even though he was always closed at redoing it, he only did it once and didn't manage to repeat it in the span of the entire battle.
Meanwhile, David was thinking differently. Even though the battle looked so one-sided earlier, it was actually quite hard for him to defeat Shin completely. He might not use his full power, but what Shin had shown was more than enough to win against the other Mentalists who were in the Peak Grandmaster Realm.
David didn't use his real strength during the battle. In fact, he didn't even use half of his current potential because Old Benn instructed him not to use any special techniques; all of his moves were only restricted to the ones that could only be used by average Mentalists.
