The administrator observed the large crater Kai's strike had left in the floor in front of it, and the smoke and dust rising from the impact.
And it couldn't help but smile and look at Kai with the same enthusiasm and analysis as always.
"Whoa. Phew, wow."
"That was close," the administrator said.
"If that had hit me directly, it would have been a real problem."
Kai raised his fist again.
"Still not wanting to talk?"
Nothing.
"Prolonged silence during combat suggests one of three states: extreme concentration, active emotional suppression, or the tactical decision to give no information to the opponent." The points of light flickered.
"Which one is yours?"
Kai launched his left elbow at the side of its neck.
The administrator blocked it with its arm — the transmitting energy reached the elbow.
The elbow went numb for two seconds.
Kai used those two seconds for the heel to the administrator's knee tendon.
The administrator raised its knee.
