/DASH!/
With immense focus, Dale dashed forward, holding his spear in a stance as he drew in the distance to his opponent.
/Fwoosh!/
His reflection did the same, however, its steps left little to no footmarks on the sand as it ran, making it look much lighter than it likely was.
Dale noticed this detail, but he had little time to think about it as they finally got into range!
/PIERCE!/
/BOOM!/
Without hesitation, he pierced with his spear forward, intending to test his opponent…
"!"
/SLASH!/
But instead of defending, the reflection used its right hand to swipe Dale's spear into the air, breaking his balance completely as it slashed its own spear against his chest brutally.
This was all due to Dale's oversight, as due to his desire to test his opponent, he overestimated his own strength, which was usually higher than his opponents, leading to this awkward situation.
