If there is one thing Kent understood about himself, it was his way of handling odds stacked against him.
As a computer engineering student back on Earth, thinking outside the box was one of his many notable qualities, among others.
So, facing himself in combat and being completely outclassed wasn't too surprising.
The perfect clone, although merely 95% of Kent's true potential if he were to reach the peak of the Core Formation stage, was far superior that his current self.
The main Kent, who was still at the 4th level, having yet to form his core before refining it seven times, was lacking greatly.
He was outclassed in speed, strength, and overall stamina.
But that wasn't all.
Although Kent could tell the clone possessed the same combat knowledge as he, for some reason, the clone was superior in using it than he was.
They had already exchanged thousands of attacks in close combat, and while Kent gave it his all, he was outperformed at every turn.
