They both dashed each other in hopes of striking first. Rad naturally gets it. He punches Titania right side with his left fist. He stumbles back a bit as he was forced to let out a breath of air.
He clutched his right side, hugging the pain. While Rad was bringing in his fist back, Titania let out a quick kick aimed at Rad's jaw. He could only react for now because Rad got the first shot.
Titania knew from the start that he wouldn't win against Rad. Everything was stacked against him. Rad had more experience, he was stronger, faster, and can take a hit. Just overall better.
You would think that the person who knew almost every secret to this world would be able to win with a simple flick of the wrist. He knew a small bit of Rad's history or past. He had a small part in a side quest in the game that would grant the player a talent.
From what he knew, Rad was always in the military. He started out as a private, lowest in the rank of military, and according to documents written about him during this time, he lived for it. He loved being out in the front lines, always smiling in the face of danger, laughing whenever he fought. In the documents it is mentioned on numerous occasions that he laughs when fighting, many of which thought he was creepy or mentally ill. However it was noted that he only did so when Rad felt that he was in danger or was fighting someone he found interesting.
As for how he earned the title, "Rad the Steadfast". If Titania remembered correctly he earned it when he was a private. He got into a fight with someone much stronger than him at the time and naturally lost, but there was a moment when he was thrown on the floor and his opponent got on top of him pinning him to the floor and started punching his face. Rad responded with what the documents said, laughter.
There was a documentation of the event by one of Rad's fellow privates, "Rad was thrown onto the ground and pinned, arms and legs locked in place with no hope of escaping. Private Elias rolled both of his hands into fists and started punching Rad's face. Rad in response, laughed, he manically laughed at him as blood started flowing from his busted lips, as though fueling. The crowd that surrounded them forming a natural area stared at him, with a mix of emotions, of fear and bewilderment. This caused all of them them to go quiet, leaving the only sound of his laughter ringing through the room. His smile never leaving his face."
His smile and laughter was steadfast, not he himself.
Titania let out a quick kick at Rad as he pulled his fist back. If he got to strike him in the jaw then Rad would be stunned long enough for him to strike him again and get the drop on him, letting him control the situation. Or so he thinks.
Rad saw the kick coming from a mile away, it was something that he would do in his situation. To praise his creativity in his way, he slowed for a moment.
Long enough for Titania to hit him.
When Titania kicked Rad in his jaw he heard a loud creak happen. Rad stumbled back, clutching his jaw with his hand to protect it, Titania wanted to take advantage of what was happening. He unleashed a combo of kicks never resting. All of them landing on Rad's body.
Rad jumped back to create some distance from Titania to give him some time to recover. Titania dashed forward as he knew that he can't afford to give Rad a break.
Rad had a small amount of time before Titania got to him. Rad put both of his hands on jaw and slammed his head into them. He popped his jaw back into place with a loud snap. Before he could put his hands ups Titania was already in front of him.
As the fight persist, with each side having a moment where they held the advantage before switching. Ajax and Beliz watch.
Ajax looked at the fight with no emotion at all, the only sign that he was interested in the fight was that his eyes were following where ever the two were in the room. Beliz on the other hand looked worried, his eyes look tensely at the fight. Yet, he still firmly grasps his tablet and is typing to record.
Who was the researcher in the room?
"The General is going to win." Ajax said to Beliz looking away at the fight to talk to him. He could see his worry. Beliz just shot a quick look at him while typing before turning his attention to the fight before them.
"I know Ajax, I've seen recordings of how he fights. But what I don't understand is why isn't he fighting like that now?" Beliz asked Ajax without looking at him. Ajax took no offense that Beliz wasn't looking at him while he was talking, he knew that Beliz was a researcher at his very core.
Ajax looked at both Rad and Titania and saw their current state.
Titania was sweating bullets, his shirt sticking to his body. He was tired to the point where he couldn't stand straight anymore but instead look hunched over. His breath was ragged, gasping for any air available.
Rad on the other hand, look completely well. His stood tall and erect. There were some bruises on his face and arms, but no significant injuries. His breathing is calm and control.
"I think he is just trying to have fun with Titania," Ajax said softly as he stared at his father, "It's a way of having fun which he knows very intimately."
Beliz shot a quick glance at him to make sure that he was telling the truth, then he looked at the fight before them. From the state of being the both of them were in, he assumed it was the truth.
He look at his tablet to input more data and saw a message notification.
'Enough data has been collect. Stop the assessment.'
Beliz quickly shot his attention back to the fight and saw that they were going to hit each other at the same time.
He took in a small breathe and quickly shouted, "The combat assessment is over. The fight is now over."
Still the both of them didn't stop and were close to hitting each other.
Beliz making a quick decision manipulated the metal on the floor to create a wall between the two of them to prevent them from hitting each other.
However, the wall was created so fast that the two of them couldn't react in time. Resulting in them striking a metal wall with tremendous force.
"F*CK!" They both shouted as they both recoiled from the impact.
