Jeremiah wrote: The Bronze kid was watching Hikaru closely so in the same instance that his opponent picked up his foot to step, Jeremiah ran at max speed. His opponent seemed to be moving slow, probably thinking that he would be able to get to him. Sike. With Jeremiah being in fighting position, his left leg was behind his right, so he would easily propel forward without the need to even position himself accordingly. Jeremiah was pretty swift thanks to all the training he put himself through. He would move at full speed towards his opponent. Regardless if his opponent saw him move or not didn't matter. Jeremiah ran at 15 meters per second and the distance between his enemy was 12, unless Hikaru was tall enough for one step to bring them a meter or more closer. Needless to say that Jeremiah's position made his running happen instantly. The young Fairy made his way towards his opponent, watching everything about him, his eyes never leaving his body. His foot movement, arm movement, or whatever he decided to move would be seen. When he reached exactly 1.5 feet away from his opponent, he would jab his left arm forward - but instead of his hand positioned as a fist, it would be open and aiming for his opponents neck. The reasoning of him attacking at exactly one and a half feet was to ensure his safety if this Rune attempted to dodge and strike, or was even fast enough to react in any way, that way he could successfully counter any attack. In a nutshell, Jeremiah would reach his opponent in less than one second.

Hikamaru wrote:Hikaru came to a halt and didn't proceed to move forward immediately seeing his opponent rush towards him. Hikaru was already in a defensive stance and had his guard up. He moved his arms closer to his body, but not too close, he shifted his arms, his right arm higher than his left, but still his left arm was still quite high reaching about the height of his chin. An aura surrounded Hikaru, one that showed might (lieutenants might) He hoped this wasn't the fastest his enemy was or that would mean Hikaru had the speed advantage. As soon as the man got closed, Hikaru watched as the man's arm came toward his neck. Out of instinct, Hikarus left arm moved to the left slapping his jab away and deflecting it. Nevertheless it hurt his arm, but it was better than taking a hit int he neck. As He slapped the Jab away. Hikaru Used his right arm to quickly counter attack with a right hook straight for the temple If the hit landed, the man would most likely be knocked out, but still it was a combo so Hikaru would follow up with a left uppercut to lay the man out on the ground. After that Hikaru backed away 6 meters from his opponent now assuming a boxing position and staying light on his feet, however if the hit landed the battle was as good as over.

Jeremiah wrote:Typical. If his opponent would have gotten hit by a simple attack then he wasn't worthy of being a Rune Knight. Jeremiah used the momentum to his advantage. Hikaru's deflection was strong enough to stop the attack, but nothing more. Jeremiah continued moving forward though. He never stopped moving forward and would be too swift for Hikaru to counter anything now. Jeremiah's body would crash into his opponents with enough speed adding to his own strength to knock his opponent down. Though Jeremiah wasn't aware, Hikaru threw a hook punch aiming towards his temple but it would easily miss since he did this while Jeremiah, ultimately leading to Hikaru's fall. Rune Knights had Jeremiah looking like a football player out here. Honestly, Jeremiah had no real reason for winning. The only reason he joined this tournament was to see how he would cope against other strong mages of Fiore. It was fun, but whether he won or lost he wouldn't continue further in the games so in the end, Hikaru would win regardless.
