From your long years of training, you’ve learned that the best defense is simply not to be there. Coincidentally, if you’re able to strike your opponent without being struck yourself, victory becomes a simple matter. For these reasons, and possibly more, you have pushed your speed farther, breaking even the limits of what you imagined possible. Faster and faster, you keep moving, aiming to become the fastest in the universe.
