"Alright then, Atreides. Come at me with everything you've got. This will be the final bout."
Alex's face toughened as he heard that. He put his right leg back and left one forward as he leaned a bit. From the stance, it seemed as if he was going to put all in this move.
'Since you're ready to go all in, let me return the favor.'
I clench my right hand and get ready for him.
With the drop of a leaf, Alex burst forward. The tendons in his leg pushing forth pressure as he slashed the wooden sword at my stomach.
My hand was faster as it went to hit his face first. But at the last moment, Alex's body slowly went under it.
He's slash was a feint to let me open my guard against him.
He used that momentary space to slide into my stomach and thrust again. This was the move he had used a bit ago.
Nobody would have been stupid enough to use the same attack back to back. But Alex wasn't stupid, he deliberately used it knowing it will create this opportunity.
