Hinata's movements became sharper, faster, his strikes carrying monstrous power. Every swing tore through the air like a storm.
Raito realized it immediately, this was Hinata's true strength. The strength of an S Rank Hunter.
Last time, Hinata had underestimated him. He'd been toying with him.

The two of them clashed continuously, steel screaming against steel. Every strike, every parry, sent shockwaves through the chamber. Hinata had gone fully on the defensive, his dagger flashing faster than the eye could track, blocking Raito's relentless attacks.
But Hinata was fast. Too fast.
He lunged, his hands transforming into sharp, jagged blades aimed at Raito's neck. Raito twisted, raising his dagger just in time to block. He countered, slashing toward Hinata's stomach, but Hinata was already gone, dodging with a speed that made the air hiss.
