There was something different about Jock now.
He wasn't flinching anymore. His eyes looked cool as steel. He had a confidence in his stance that was impossible to miss.
With a sharp right hook, Oritori's punch came like a bolt of lightning, and his eyes kept brightening after seeing that Jock wasn't backing away now.
'Is he done hearing all those chuckles and laughter from the crowd? A stupid decision. This will end the match!'
"Argh!"
Jock swiped his right arm against Oritori's wrist—it smacked his punching arm away—the flesh-smacking sound reverberated through the room.
It was a successful parry! It shocked everyone watching! It was the first thing Jock did in the match that didn't end up in his loss!
While it quite wasn't like Rendering Edge's defensive style, it looked rather similar and was basically the basic version of it.
Jock could feel it.
