"Humiliated?" Teru taunted, his voice like ice. 'If your opponent is temperamental, seek to irritate him.' That was a basic tactic. This man had devolved into enough rage from losing an ear that taunting wasn't necessary--but Teru didn't care. If he couldn't kill him in one blow he could make him die a completely broken man instead.
The delinquents dove out of the way of the oncoming rampage and Teru weaved to dodge--and he was right to do it. The man's fists tore through his barrier like tissue. He didn't dodge completely unscathed, though--his left shoulder had taken a glancing hit. Even if the adrenaline was keeping him moving and focused, he could tell by the sudden numbness that even a glancing blow was potentially debilitating. He flex his arm--he could still move it, not dislocated--but he didn't have time to do more before he was on the defense again as the man continued his relentless attack.
