When they were ready to start the match between Angela and Bonizo, Niko was fairly confident that she could take him, that there would be fast fists a'flying all too soon. After finally letting his place in the world, in this tournament, sink in for once, he was feeling a bit more certain of things. Angela was not only a natural fighter, but one at ease with her practice. No doubt, only the desire to push herself to the max. She was instantly on-guard with Bonizo, who had been effectively pulling fast ones on opponents prior to now, or so he heard from the crowd. Yeah, it sucked not getting intel prior to now. As much as he might be doing Athena proud, some of the other officers from basic training might not be so pleased.
Not much I can do about it now. At least, from this point ON, I know better, and that's what counts.
Angela was just countering every little attack coming her way. Bonizo had exceptional speed, but apparently she had some damn decent interception tactics. That...could become a problem if they met in the fighting arena later. He'd have to be wary of that...provided he beat the decently-skilled Rica and Angela took down Ace, besides. Bonizo was getting handedly worn out, to the point where his last attack wasn't even what you'd call an attack. It was like he just threw himself at her.
Now, the question is...who is actually the greater danger here? Rica seems the dedicated type, highly-skilled and quick. She and Angela might share that trait, but fight they completely different. Will beating Rica prepare me for a fight with Angela, or does the woman barely compare?
Really hard to tell, at this time. He'd have to fight Rica firsthand first... Niko smiled and applauded Angela's victory. Hey, if nothing else, he was a good sport. She should be encouraged to make it as far as she can and he should be obliged to try and meet hr halfway.
