I pushed her backward before she could follow through with another strike.
The moment I forced her away, she immediately used the distance between us to dash backward.
She didn't waste even that small opportunity.
Her movements suggested that she was already thinking about where her next attack would come from before she had even reached her new position.
She wasn't merely moving quickly.
She was moving with purpose.
Her attacks were efficient, but they weren't completely lacking in strength either, because she was putting a considerable amount of power behind every strike instead of relying entirely on speed to overwhelm her opponent.
She was combining speed, strength, timing, positioning, and instinct into a single fighting style that seemed surprisingly well developed.
She had clearly received proper training, or perhaps this was simply how her natural battle instincts worked.
Either way, she was quite proficient.
However, proficiency had its limits.
