Fruitful Endeavor
Usually, fighting at such high intensity for a long time was a surefire way to burn through your stamina fast, so people tended to gradually ramp up the intensity throughout a fight, trying to see if they could take out their opponent without going all out from the start to save energy.
That didn't apply to Mike. The only reason he didn't immediately go crazy from the start was due to the need to start building momentum for Crimson Ladder. When he started going, he started going.
Many might question this, perhaps call it reckless or needlessly wasteful, and under normal circumstances, they'd be correct. However, they also weren't Lupines, so they weren't aware of the insane endurance they possessed.
Hence, many of the people who were watching Mike's fight who expected him to burn out quickly were shocked when they saw him keeping his intense pace for the entirety of the fight without faltering once.
