Another World Mall-Chapter 659: Chance of Winning
"Kh." Tesron gritted his teeth. His future sight could see Clovis swinging his sword from the left, and his vision would follow it. Normally, he could shift his stance and strike the blade in a way he could either deflect the blade or cut Clovis directly.
Yet, the moment he shifted his stance, the blade's trajectory would change as well. Even in his future sight, he could see himself changing to a certain stance, but that vision would soon change because Clovis responded to that stance.
He kept seeing the same change over and over again for tens, if not hundreds, of times during their clash.
No matter how hard he was using his ability, Clovis was able to keep up with him.
All those visions took a toll on Tesron's mind.
At the same time, Clovis was experiencing a similar hardship.
Clovis kept calculating Tesron's movement and changed his attack at the last moment again and again. His instinct was tingling because of all kinds of small movements Tesron made. His body was strained due to the sudden change in his movement.
Clovis experienced a similar toll but not just on his mind, but also on other parts of his body.
If this continued, Clovis might be the one to fall first.
Hence, Clovis made a decision. Instead of conserving his strength as much as possible, Clovis chose to go on the offensive. Yes, Clovis chose to spend his energy even more.
Clovis swung his blade horizontally, using the ranged attack to boost his attack.
Tesron still remained calm and jumped into the air.
Clovis immediately chased after him in the air and struck him.
"!!!" Tesron suddenly widened his eyes as if realizing what Clovis was trying to do. The moment he leaped into the air, even when he saw the future, his options would be limited. After all, he couldn't move freely in the air.
In addition, the map chosen this time was another plain, similar to Kanaria and Cyan's arena, but with more trees.
If he was blasted into the air, he wouldn't be able to respond to Clovis' movement as he liked.
Tesron hurriedly spun his body and struck Clovis' blade and actually launched him back to the ground.
"!!!" Clovis was quite surprised. Although he couldn't use all his power because he didn't recover his stance first before jumping up, his power was still quite strong.

Yet Tesron surpassed his expectation and completely overpowered him in that clash.
The moment Tesron landed on the ground, he pointed his blade at Clovis. "Do you think you're the first one to know that I have limited movements in the air? You're not the first and I have long since fixed that flaw!"
Clovis smiled. "If that's the case, we can test it again to see whether you have fixed that flaw or not."
Clovis charged forward and struck him from the right.
Tesron blocked it effortlessly, but Clovis actually slashed him one more time from the same direction, this time with his short sword.
With both hands striking from that direction, Tesron noticed that Clovis' overall strength was stronger than his. It looked like Clovis was planning to overpower him.
Tesron hurriedly kicked Clovis in the opposite direction, forcing him to back away. To his surprise, Clovis remained still. He accepted the kick just by slightly lifting up his shoulder so that the kick would hit his arm instead.
Then Clovis overpowered Tesron with his sword. When Tesron changed his stance to deflect the sword, Clovis let go of that power, which pushed his blade up.
It also meant that Tesron's blade was moving up together.
Clovis took advantage of his speed and forcefully shifted his sword's trajectory.
"!!!" Tesron looked shocked. He hurriedly took a step back, but Clovis' speed surpassed him, hitting him in the chest.
This strike astonished all the people in the arena. Finally, Clovis, after five minutes of stalemate, could deal some damage to Tesron.
Meanwhile, the principal shook his head helplessly, impressed by what Clovis had just done.
"This is insane." The principal rubbed his chin first before continuing, "Clovis has realized that his speed and power are one way to overcome the future sight.
"The strike that launched Tesron into the air was something to prove this theory. By knowing that he could restrict Tesron's movement even with that future sight, Clovis could replicate the same situation to strike a blow on Tesron.
"For example, he first overpowered Tesron from the right side, which caused Tesron to switch his stance to take it.
"Then he forced Tesron to push his blade up so that his blade would follow the same trajectory. That way, Tesron's blade would continue on that motion for at least one second.
"Tesron should be able to see it in his future sight as well, but Clovis simply overwhelmed him with the speed. He struck Tesron before he could leave. Even with his future sight, Tesron could do nothing to block it. After all, his blade was still moving up. He wasn't like Clovis, who possessed enough strength and flexibility to switch his blade trajectory.
"In the end, Tesron's future sight might be extremely scary, but it's not impossible. If I'm not wrong, he is able to see several seconds into the future, right? How many seconds is it?"
Utaha replied, "It's 3 seconds into the future."
"I see. This whole time, Clovis must have fought him with testing those 3 seconds in mind. Once he gets the timing right, he launches a full assault. What a terrifying guy he is…" Vhalor sighed. "And the one that makes it possible is that unique ability of his.
"Although I'm not entirely sure of the exact details of the unique ability, it looks to be a physical enchantment. His strength, his speed, and even his regenerative ability increase tremendously. I'm afraid that's not all.
"And with that additional physical ability, he creates a situation where Tesron has to fight someone who is stronger than him despite being a Tier 4. Even if they face each other in the future, equal in tier, Clovis will still get the massive advantage of his strength.
"I might have to take my words back. At first, I thought Clovis only had a 10% chance of winning… if not lower. But from the looks of it, he has at least a 40% chance of winning!"
