Reno was a better fighter than Duster expected. Most other Heroes could barely block an attack without help, but here was a guy that knew what he was doing. It had been a long while since the last challenge. Without forgetting his training, Duster adjusted his center of gravity by crouching.

But this put him at a disadvantage. With his leg trapped, he was limited in his attacks, though Reno was unable to leave the ground during that. He rolled backwards. If Reno were to get up, Duster would have a better time lying on his back than on his front.
