“Yeah! Fight like a man!” chanted several of the other girls in the stadium as well.
Gerald could only shake his head with a wry smile on his face. There was no way he was going to be able to worm out of this one.
Knowing that, he could only agree to the challenge and slowly got onto the main stage.
Throughout his brief training with Finnley, he had been taught a total of five self-defense moves. Each move was different, prioritizing on protecting the user from either punches, kicks, or weapons both long and short. The fifth technique, on the other hand, could be utilized under situations where one was being restricted from the back.
While all these would definitely help Gerald defend himself should he come face to face with danger, they were still essentially only self-defense moves. They were completely useless in a fight like this.
Upon entering the ring, Gerald was just about to try figuring out which move to use against Jasmine when she immediately lunged toward him!
Despite being a girl, her speed was no joke. She must’ve thought that Gerald was some sort of martial arts master.
“Oh! She’s going all out!”
“She seems to be exerting much more strength now!”
“Now this is going to be interesting! How will Gerald react?!”
The crowd was going wild, speculating the end results with extreme excitement.
“He definitely won’t be able to take a hit! He simply doesn’t look like he has enough strength!”
“Then how did he throw Wyatt to the side so easily? Was that possibly just a coincidence?”
While the audience continued discussing among themselves, Jasmine herself stopped right in front of Gerald before gracefully leaping and performing a spinning kick in mid-air! Her movements were so swift and packed with force that it almost seemed as though she had been practicing this move for years.
Gerald however, kept a cool head and recalled what Finnley had taught him.
‘Regardless of the attack, if your opponent attacks with a kick, block with the second move.’
