Robby took a deep breath and began to move slowly, eyeing Jack, who was also looking for an opportunity to attack and initiate the open combat. Knowing that Jack was a formidable opponent, Robby couldn't rush in, so he listened to his father's advice, maintaining a very measured movement and not acting impulsively.
"I think it's time to attack..." Keeping a safe distance, Robby, who was losing a bit of patience, initiated a probing attack.
"Now!" The moment this thought crossed Robby's mind, on the other side, Jack was practically thinking the same and launched his attack a split second earlier.
As they watched the fight unfold, many in the silent audience began to shout in excitement, supporting their fighters who had earned their cheers regardless of the school they represented. Being able to fight in front of so many people and doing it in such a professional manner requires more than experience, so everyone respected every fighter regardless of their performance in each match.
In his seat, Dash maintained a slight smile, knowing that the fights had been very evenly matched so far. As long as he didn't see Devon fight, he felt comfortable and content as a spectator.
Thud! Confronted with a straight punch from Jack, Robby took a step back. His clenched fists opened and closed slightly, forming a peculiar stance. Stepping forward, he struck Jack's arm, causing him to miss the attack.
Right as his attack was thwarted, Jack's expression changed, and his eyes widened as Robby's kick aimed for his side.
Forced to dodge, Jack took a step back. The force behind that kick was fierce, and he felt his body protest in pain despite adopting a defensive posture.
Thud! Thud! Thud! The sound of their hands dodging and blocking punches was so resonant that everyone was captivated.
Robby's defense was very effective, and the moment he saw Jack opening up to one side, he jumped forward and hit Jack's ribs.
"Point!" shouted the referee, keeping a keen eye on the battle.
"That's it, Robby!" shouted Daniel, who was intensely focused on the fight.
Jack shook his head, smiled slightly, and nodded, acknowledging Robby's level, who was slightly excited to have landed a hit.
"Maintain your distance; play more with your feet!" Kim shouted while being close to Jack.
"Regroup, ready? Fight!" shouted the referee instantly, seeing that both were ready to continue the fight.
"Now!" shouted Jack as he advanced forward, closing the distance.
In this case, fighting at close quarters was not the best strategy, but Jack was not listening to his head this time, opting for his more aggressive instincts.
While being assaulted by Jack's bold advance, Robby wanted to step back but immediately received a series of attacks that left him breathless.
"Point!"
"What's that speed?" exclaimed Johnny, surprised by what he had seen.
"He's a good fighter..."
"Dash, do you know who will win?" Demetri asked nervously, clenching his fists excitedly, hoping for their school's victory.
"Hard to say..."
Dash hesitated for a few brief moments before finally shaking his head. Robby had clearly mastered Miyagi's martial art, but he was still too rigid in more open fights compared to Kung Fu, which limited him. Still, he was very strong and good in close combat, giving him a certain reputation.
However, Jack was very versatile and could adapt to almost any martial art, keeping him highly regarded in Dash's expectations.
Because of this, it was difficult to predict who would win this match between the two. The previous fight against Miguel was not so true because Jack let himself be defeated, but this time, both had to fight seriously as they were the first ones to compete.
"Point!"
At that moment, Robby had managed to land a hit, giving him a point with which he never thought he would connect.
Everyone cheered with excitement, but many were not happy because if Jack lost, it would mean that the school where they resided would lose to a visiting school.

When Jack received an unexpected blow, he furrowed his brows slightly and removed a hairband from his hand to tie back his hair. At this moment, Robby felt a change in the entire atmosphere, believing that he was now facing a completely transformed Jack.
"Ready? Fight!"
Being one point behind, Jack couldn't afford to make any mistakes. As soon as the fight began, he sprinted towards Robby, instantly sweeping his leg and knocking him down.
Thud!
At that moment, as Robby tried to get up, a kick landed in his stomach, making him writhe in pain. When everyone saw this, they fell silent.
"Point!" Even the referee had been silent for a few moments, seeing how Robby had been taken down in less than a minute.
Robby got up, looked at Jack, and adjusted his clothes while taking a deep breath. He hadn't been able to see the attacks, leaving him with no chance to respond.
Despite Jack's martial arts not appearing remarkable, what made him a great fighter were his powerful attacks that left any opponent severely limited without good defensive technique.
While thinking about how to win in the next round, the referee nodded and shouted, "Fight!"
Tied in points, the next exchange of blows would be decisive in determining the winner in the male duet division.
As the referee's words echoed in the arena, the fight resumed, but this time it intensified towards a climax that would soon reach a conclusion. Claps, fists, and kicks collided, creating a series of deep sounds that reverberated continuously.
Just as the fight was about to become more aggressive, both took a step back in unison. Shortly after, they advanced again, but this time Robby felt he was increasingly at a disadvantage.
Jack, on the other hand, felt calm and free, gaining the upper hand with a fighting style he handled with utmost finesse.
Perhaps a few noticed, but this time Jack was fighting very seriously and practically with all his skills.
Knowing that Jack was not holding back, those who knew him had nothing to worry about because they knew perfectly well what would happen in these moments.
Thud! Thud! Thud!
"Now!" shouted Robby, desperate to get Jack out of his tight circle, but without the slightest chance of pushing him away, he continued to retreat.
Feeling a powerful impact on his right hand, Robby furrowed his brows and retaliated with a direct kick that Jack avoided by sliding on the floor.
Jumping again, Jack furrowed his brows but resumed his fierce attack. His clenched fists were thrown with more strength, speed, and precision.
Thud!
Robby wanted to take the lead, but the only chance he had was defense. Knowing that his path had come to an end, he raised his gaze and, meeting Jack's eyes, attacked with a kick.
This time, he was forced to take the lead, but in this moment when his martial art abandoned the defensive and focused on the attack, he lost sight of the possibilities of doing something much more effective.
Jack, who took a deep breath, dodged the attacks and entered Robby's vital zone, giving him the opportunity to attack directly.
Crack!
Feeling a punch land in his stomach, Robby knew perfectly well that he had lost, and a bitter sigh escaped his lips as he stepped back.
"Point!"
"Winner, Jack!" announced the referee, giving Jack the victory. Jack had faced certain difficulties in this fight only because he hadn't fought seriously from the beginning.
The entire audience erupted in cheers upon learning that Jack had won, realizing that their chances of continuing in this tournament were still significant.
"Perfect!"
"That was an incredible fight!"
"In the end, strength prevailed." Dash murmured as he saw Jack win the match.
Miguel, who saw Robby descend, extended his hand and said, "It was an incredible fight."
"Thank you..." Robby didn't know how to react to this congratulations.
