The blows to his abdomen are met with dodges and blocks, sidestepping back when he had to. He couldn't believe she'd improved so much in such a short amount of time. The girl hasn't been in Luceti any longer than three months and only training, as far as he knows, for a couple of months at best- but he feels he really shouldn't be surprised at the improvement, but rather at her motivation to actually learn to fight.

The uppercut comes in fast, and he's not expecting it; and just as it flies at him, he raises his chin up and bends back, her knuckle grazing the side of it. Unfortunately it's left his abdomen wide open.
