but if you close your eyes

Sylphid was a frighteningly powerful opponent. Without a doubt the most dangerous foe I faced so far.

However, I was no slouch either. I did not spend all this time getting tortured in the void for nothing.

It is time to show Sylphid the fruits of my labor.

I closed my eyes and instantly my other senses where heightened. I could sense Sylphid approaching me. It seemed very clear that she wanted to end this within mere minutes. I could respond in kind but that would be a mistake. I absolutely can not allow myself to get taken in by her rhythm.

Sylphid first move appeared to be a grab, so I avoided it. I could sense that the martial artist was a bit taken aback by this.

“Wow, handsome. I mean, I saw your match against snakey but this is extremely impressive!”, she let out a whistle.

I decided to smile, making sure it was directed at her. Nothing wrong with a bit of intimidation. “You would be wise to not underestimate me.”

Sylphid was not the type of person who shrinks from a challenge. so of course she went on the offensive again.

Hmph!

Once again I avoided her grapple.

Sylphid was frighteningly fast but she can’t attack me. That would count as non erotic ****. Furthermore holding my hands was also against the rules.

In short, the actually movements Sylphid could do were limited. And with my heightened senses it was possible to completely anticipate them.

Yes, as long as I was focusing purely on evasion I can do this. My reaction time was fast enough for that. For now I would just avoid. I would slowly gain a feel for Sylphid’s movement before I start me counter attack.

One again, she attacked. Heh, hasn’t she learned her lesson yet?

Useless!

I deftly fell back. Sylphid, to my surprise, did not pursue me very far. In fact, it was difficult to tell but the feeling I got from her was almost one of bewilderment?

He He He He.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Yes, I suppose that is quite the fitting reaction, is it not? Sylphid no doubt expected this fight to be a complete curbstomp. Little did she realize how strong I have become.

As long as I just keep avoiding her attacks I can not lo…!

“Bzzt! Too much evasion from Mari! Thirty seconds penalty!”

Huh?

Too much evasion?

What do you meaaaaaaaaaaaan?

Before I even had the chance to complain, the paralysis spell hit me like a brick. I could still breathe, blink and in general use my facial features, but moving my body in any shape or form was impossible. In that sense, it was less paralysis and felt more as if was stuck in place. Regardless how I felt however, Sylphid had absolutely no qualms of taking advantage of my predicament.

“Wow, Handsome”, she chuckled as with impressive speed she stripped me of my shirt. “You know, I am definitely impressed, really. But you can be such a dork sometimes.”

I blushed and not just because she pulled my pants all the way to the ground. This was one hell of a blunder.

This was bad but luckily I had trained for this. Sylphid will certainly manage to get me aroused but I won’t climax in a mere 30 seconds.

I let out a deep breath. “Do your worst, Sylphid.”

Sylphid started with grabbing my right hand, extended my index finger and...put it into my nose.

...

“Oh wow!”, Sylphid exclaimed with glee, admiring her work. “This is soo cool! You really can’t move at all, huh?” She grinned at me. “Not so cool and suave now, Mr. Fight with eyes closed, huh?”

...

Well, I was completely ridiculed, but on the bright side, it didn’t look like Sylphid would do anything else. That means, despite this colossal blunder I was still in the game.

It also means, I will have to react extremely quickly and decisively once the spell wears off.
