Levi had recently seen two people with amazing speed in his gym class, one of which had been on his team and, if he recalled, they made a pretty good team. Levi had left a note in Macht's locker that had only a small line of words written on it.
Meet me in the gym after school. I want to see more of that speed.
-Levi
None of the sports teams had class after school today and the gym would give them plenty of room. Room for what? Training or course. Levi did not like to lose in terms of speed and seeing multiple people that were much faster than him showed him just how far he had yet to go. The problem was that until he could reach that level of speed, he needed to get used to dealing with that kind of speed. Levi just hoped Macht would come.
The day went by in a blur, anything his teachers said being completely ignored as Levi thought about way to deal with opponents with superior speed. He headed to the gym immediately after his last class and stretched in the middle of the gym, hoping a teacher wouldn't come by to ruin their fun before it even began.

After Phys. Ed., Macht retreated to his locker to get changed in some clean clothes. Didn't even bother hitting the showers with everyone else because every time he did someone tried to slap his dick. He had a little surprise waiting for him inside, and he was half-expecting a love note. Seeing something from Levi, Macht was admittedly disappointed. But, hey, what could you do.
---
"What's up?" Macht asked loudly, stepping into the gym and seeing Levi already there. He said he wanted to see some speed, sure, but he never said how. A fight? A race? Hopefully it wasn't a code for gay sex. Macht would throw his bag down against a wall and begin to stretch his arms a little as he walked toward his acquaintance.

Levi smiled as Macht came in. He had been confident that a man like Macht wouldn't pass it up, if nothing else, to satisfy his curiosity, but Levi barely knew him, so this was only a guess. He would stand casually as he waved at the man, laughing at Macht's comment.
"Haha! Not quite, maybe next time...Well, like I said I want to see more of your speed. More to the point: You're not the only speed demon in this school, and I can't measure up, not yet. So I need to come up with methods for dealing with that speed, if nothing else, get my eyes used to it."
Levi put his hands up in a boxer like stance, but with hands open and out as he placed his left leg forward, solidifying his stance. He stared into the man's eyes, an excited grin on his face.
"Feel like helping me out?"

Fights. Everyone in this school wanted them for some reason, but at least Levi didn't just wanna kick his ass cuz he looked at him funny. He didn't seem like a bad guy, so Macht would humor him. The German shrugged, limbering up a bit.
"Why not?" After stretching his legs, Macht would stand up rather lazily, not bothering to get into any stance. Macht knew Levi wasn't too fast, but he was clever. How much, he had no idea. His throwing arm was also decent, so Macht could also tell Levi was at least average strength, if not a little more. He'd just play to his strong suits.
Without warning, Macht would dash toward Levi, throwing a quick left jab. At the same time, his right foot would hit the ground and he would pivot off of it to rotate to his left, meaning the jab was a fake. After the rotation, Macht would send out a swift left side kick to Levi's ribs. His right heel would be raise and the knee bent, prepared to move if he needed to.

Levi stood ready, watching as well as he could, Machts speed catching him off guard. He struggled to maintain his stance as he fought to read his opponent's movements. The jab was fast and Levi narrowly avoided as he swayed back. That's right, he fell for Macht's trap as the man pivoted and sent a kick into his ribs. Levi managed to jump backwards just before impact, reducing the damage. He took a couple of steps back to regain his balance, sliding back a couple of feet. He smiled
"No doubt about it, you're fast alright."
He had somewhat dealt with Macht's speedy attacks, but he had gained no ground either. He was simply just fast enough to mitigate the damage. Being reactive was not working. He would need to anticipate Macht's actions. He readied himself again, his stance still sturdy, but more relaxed and fluid, his hand out and open, but his left remained around neck level where his right was now level with his abdomen. This served to reduce the amount of time he would need to react in time. He continued to smile as he looked at his opponent.
"Let's see some more."

"I try."
Macht would walk up toward Levi, and he'd give the guy what he asked for: speed. Only, he was going to teach the guy a lesson, at the same time. He wanted to deal with fast people, but that wasn't all there was to it. Another quick left jab would be thrown toward Levi's face, and once it was retracted, Macht would bend his knees and bring his right shoulder inward, giving a slow uppercut for the guy's chin.
He would be prepared for speed. So how would he react to that slow attack?

Levi watched for the preemptive movements of his opponent's attacks to give himself a head start on Macht's movements and it actually worked, to a degree. As Macht's shoulder rolled to throw the jab, Levi read the punch, bringing his right hand up to absorb the jab with his palm, pushing the punch down and away.
Nice!
Levi's eyes would track the beginning of the uppercut, reacting quickly as he swayed backwards. The problem? He swayed too early as Macht had slowed down, allowing him to correct the trajectory before he threw the punch. With no way to stop his sway or change direction, Levi took the uppercut cleanly, throwing his head upwards to reduce the recoil to his head as Macht's punch landed true on his chin, forcing Levi to take a step backwards to maintain his balance.
"guh!"
As he regained his footing, Levi took his stance again as he began to think on what he had observed so far. Macht's strikes were fast, but certainly not the hardest punches he'd ever taken. To deal with Macht's speed, he would need to more than anticipate for a perfect counter; He would need to take away the man's mobility. Levi smiled and beckoned the man on again after rubbing his chin.
"Nice trick, I'll have to keep that one in mind."
With that, Levi took a swift step in to close the distance between them as he threw a trio of left jabs, the first one faster and stronger as he hand turned and snapped shut to give the ending a quick burst of speed and power. As Macht dealt with these, Levi's forward foot, his right, would snap out to try to catch the side of Macht's shin. He hoped this simultaneous, two-pronged attack would bear some fruit.

"I'm fast, but speed isn't everything. Most guys here just wanna be the quickest, so they get a tempo going. You get that tempo matched, and then mix it up, you screw them over."
He figured this guy knew that as well, but the fact that he got hit by the uppercut would mean he wasn't prepared. Lesson learned, though, so if he ever got pegged by something like that again, hopefully he'd know his way around it.
As Levi went for the jabs, Macht would catch them all with his right palm, fingers loose so Levi could pull his fist back. On the third, however, he would catch the fist, leaning forward to throw a quick palm to Levi's chest. If it connected, he would try to follow up with a palm to the chin and push the guy back.
Because he was preoccupied with Levi's fists, his kick would succeed, catching the side of Macht's shin as he turned inward. The turn would lessen the blow, but it would throw off Macht's attack enough that Levi would be able to catch his arm if he tried.

Levi would take that as a confirmation that he was on the right track. Part of one of the strategies he had come up with had a goal with something like that in mind. Levi wasn't entirely surprised as Macht seemed more than capable of dealing with his jabs, but his attack had not been entirely unsuccessful.
Here's my chance!
Levi would capitalize on Macht's imbalance, as the first palm strike hit lightly enough to allow Levi to keep his footing and snatch Macht's left arm at the wrist, the grip of his right hand tight. Levi would then quickly follow-up, pulling his left hand back forcefully as he stepped in and placed his right foot on the ground, turning his body to face Macht's right arm as he pulled the man's wrist across his own body to hopefully pull Macht off balance. If all went according to plan, Levi would finish his maneuver with a crossing left palm strike aimed at the bridge of Macht's nose.

When Levi pulled Macht in toward him, all the German could think was that he should have used his legs more. He was able to get his arm free, sure, but speed and balance were all Macht had going for him, so this maneuver was all too risky. When Levi shot his palm forward, Macht would lean his head to the side and, using the force of Levi's pull, slam his head right into Levi's face instead. The force would be enough to hurt, but hopefully not enough to break the guy's nose.
"Don't try to use my strengths against me. Use my weaknesses."
Like the fact that Macht had one eye.

Levi reflexively turned his face away from the headbutt, though not quickly enough to avoid the hit completely, Macht's forehead crashing into his cheekbone.
not yet!
Levi forced himself to whether the sharp pain in his face to turn his head back to face his opponent as he grabbed the side of Macht's head with his left hand, releasing the man's wrist as he swiftly brought his right elbow in and upwards, aiming for the underside of Macht's jaw. He wouldn't be able to torque his body behind the strike, but it would still have some good power and hopefully manage to be a good trade for the headbutt that had managed to break a little bit of the skin where it had struck. He would let go of Macht's head immediately after the elbow would strike, regardless of whether or not it hit, hopefully creating a little distance again.
Weaknesses? You don't mean...
Levi hoped Macht was not talking about his patched eye. Levi was more concerned with learning how to deal with opponent's faster than himself, not winning. If the two of them had separated, Levi would shake his head with a small smile a chuckle in his voice with his last sentence.
"Well, if I was trying to beat you, I might try that, but that doesn't really help me learn how to deal with people with your kind of speed does it?"

Given the position Macht put himself in, there would have been no way for him to avoid the elbow coming up to his jaw. Thankfully, there was also no way Levi could have put a ton of force behind it, so it wouldn't be a devastating move. But, it was still an elbow to the chin, and Macht wasn't a very strong guy, so it hurt. He would take this chance, though, to get away from Levi because the guy could clearly handle himself in close quarters.
"Every guy like me has their weaknesses, pal," Macht laughed, throwing a few quick jabs, not really intending to hit. "I can tell you now, they are not our balance. We're quick on our feet for a reason, so you gotta try a different way to beat us. Some of us, we're not that strong, so we can't take too many hits, so you just gotta watch where we're going and get a good punch in. In my case, one very exploitable weakness,"[/b] Macht would point right at his eyepatch.

Levi shrugged as he decided it was time to take the man's advice. He was trying to help and Levi would be folly to not learn everything Macht was willing to teach him. He didn't like the idea of using a weakness like that to his advantage when he wasn't really trying to beat the guy up. This was supposed to be a friendly sparring match and a chance for him to learn, but he supposed this was part of that learning experience because in a real fight, this would be critical. He gave a small smile as he took his stance again, left foot forward.
"If you insist..."
Levi would find it difficult to exploit the weakness in an initial attack given Macht's speed, but he had some ideas for if he could get inside again. Levi dashed in as fast as he could, bending his knees slightly to throw a short, compact right uppercut. He would lean slightly to the right as he did this to direct his attention to his left to set up for his next move. He would quickly follow with a high, wide roundhouse from wit his left, targeting Macht's blind right side to land the kick directly into the side of the man's head.

"I do."
When Levi went for the uppercut, Macht was already prepared. He would step to his right and avoid the uppercut entirely. When Levi went for his roundhouse, he had the right idea, but a move like that would be so telegraphed he'd notice it with his one eye before it actually left his field of vision. An arm would shoot up to take the kick, and while his other leg was exposed, Macht would shoot out a sweep to clip him on the inside of the knee. The shift in balance would, likely, cause Levi to fall, at which case Macht would shoot a right palm toward his chest.

Levi's first attempt to probe Macht's weakness had failed, but he was heading in the right direction. Levi would indeed fall, keeping his eyes on Macht as he exhaled to avoid having the wind knocked out of him as he landed on his back. The palm strike was fairly telegraphed as it required the man to bend down to deliver it and Levi intended to take advantage of that.
Let's try this!
As the strike came in, Levi grabbed Macht's arm at the wrist and elbow with each hand, left and right, respectively. He would attempt to hold onto Macht and pull his arm downwards as he raised his hips enough to snap his right leg up and around to catch Macht directly in the back of the head. If all went according to plan, Levi's pull would further turn the man's body to the left, widening the blind spot and making it more difficult to defend in an already compromised position.
