What would happen if you put a speedster who can attack before they can be predicted against someone who can predict everything before an attack can ever happen?
This was precisely what Rio was seeing occur right in front of him.
Sitting on a small hill far away from the main duel ground, Rio felt quite shocked by what he was seeing.
"If it was the me from before reaching rank S… this version of Lia could have easily defeated me… she's strong…"
With his current strength, it was impossible for even early SS-rankers to easily deal with him, let alone Lia, but the weaker version of him from a year or so ago could have definitely been defeated by Lia.
This wasn't Rio mocking Lia; her being able to keep up with Rio this much was already an insane feat.
When comparing Lia to Rio, you must also consider that Lia's original talent was only rank S!
