Musashi's mental fortitude was exceptionally strong. After entering the Burning Will state, he had focused his mind to the utmost limit, but he failed to surpass Galina's aura. Galina smoothly suppressed Musashi, creating an oppressive atmosphere where no opportunity was given.
Both sides remained still, with the pressure piled entirely on Musashi's end. If this situation didn't change, Musashi would be thoroughly diminished in this stalemate.
This was a result of the NUP's research. Mental suppression in a golden zone match lasts longer and is more serious than in a regular duel.
Musashi's talents were apparent. Galina's Lightning Vibration psychic power was too unpredictable to prevent, yet Musashi managed to defend against it repeatedly. Not only that, but he was also able to abandon his defense and make a desperate attack in an unpredictable situation. If such a person were to grow, it would be unstoppable.
However, not every promising seedling can grow into a towering tree.
