It seems embarrassing, but in reality, all the initiative is entirely on his side.
With each clash, the existing wounds on Hibell's body bleed more, and Asou Ichirō aims to exhaust her blood drop by drop, eventually pushing her to the brink of collapse.
Hibell can see through Asou Ichirō's intentions, fighting desperately, trying to kill him in one swift attack so as not to fall into a cycle of attrition.
