Fight Class 3 - Vol. 9 Ch. 70 - Round 70: In Essence

[BasilD]

He's turning out to be a more and more cerebral fighter as his training goes on! I didn't expect his power to be high enough at this point, but when you drop your guard like Young-joon did, it can definitely drop you regardless of power. I like all the callbacks to the other fighters, and I especially like that he finished (?) with the punch that took him out during the preliminaries, which nicely rounds out his growth for this arc.

Also not gonna lie, when he blinded Young-joon, I really thought it was gonna show the scene of Lee Sung-hee from ch 54 doing it instead of Maria, though both are nice.

I only just noticed that although he's supposed to specialise in Jiu-jitsu, he's doing much better at striking than grappling, probably cos of the volume of stand-up matches + a lot of the ground fighters sitting out fights (e.g. all the jiu jitsu specialists in D-rank). I hope we get to see some more high-level grappling in this, a la all rounder meguru.

I love how the MC is working his way up with small cheats.
It´s always weird when fighter get all of a sudden stronger (like they pushed a button)!
In this Manhwa it feels really natural. I appreciate that, thanks Autor and Artist <3
Probably i can´t take the MC serious anymore after this, but i love the way he thinks :3

Ahhh. It’s nice to see when a plan comes together or rather, the author’s plan. Honestly, I’m not surprised with jitae’s performance, I had a feeling he would exceed both Maria’s and our expectation. But here’s what makes this fight so good: in a fight, your rank doesn’t matter, whatever achievements you got in the past doesn’t mean anything, the only thing that matters is your ability to fight in that moment. Young joon is combat sambo veteran (as in years of training) and considering the fact that the school only takes the best, it’s safe to say that he’s probably a champion if not #2 in the country in terms of sambo so with all that ability, technically jitae shouldn’t be able to lay a hand on him, but here he is fighting on par with young joon because young joon lost his ability to fight the moment he got heated. Also, to say again, because I was right the first time: the manga only gets better from here so look forward to it. Thanks to the translators as always and hope you’re all staying safe.

@BasilD To me, it looked like a combination of both moves.

The initial feint is what Maria did against Young-woong.

Spoiler

But the follow-up moves are more in tune with what Sung-hee was doing when they were sparring.

Spoiler

As you said, both are nice. it just made more sense for Maria to instantly think about the one she made during her fight.
