Hayato quickly cleared the distance as expected but he stopped some feet short and entered a stance that was somewhat similar to his own but was looser. The looser it is the more opening’s it’ll have. It was kind of flattering that instead of fighting the way he did in the exams Hayato decided to now want to be on the offensive. Guess he recognized the skill gap, but Tiatsu would make himself look even further away now with what he had coming next. He saw the hitch in Hayato’s shoulder as he started the punch this is when Tiatsu acted.

As the punch was slung forward, Tiatsu had slowly lifted his right leg.

If it was able to garner attention Hayato would focus down which would leave his left side open. If Hayato looked at the leg his eyes would be somewhat diverted to the left meaning if Tiatsu threw a left he’d be less likely to see it coming from the angle. Tiatsu would let the left arm somewhat punch past him by leaning to the left. Though in the moment he leaned he punched over Hayato’s arm meaning he couldn’t pull back to defend that side. And if he did he’d only leave a wider area open for a strike.

If Hayato instead focused on the incoming punch the gently lifted right leg would turn into a full-on side kick aimed to strike right into his left knee area. If it landed it would cause him to buckle downwards which would make his entire stance crumble. Leaving him open for an even more pivotal attack to come.

Either way his experience was showing. He had to choose either or, or find some spectacular way to counter before he was taken down a notch.
