Chapter 1022 Cassandra as a Sparring Partner
Actually, even without Yang Le's reminder, Lightning Boy had already planned to hold back from the start.
As a well-established young hero, it's impossible for him to use all his skills when sparring with a little girl.
Kid Flash didn't intend to use the Speed Force; he decided to fight Cassandra with only his fists and feet, since he had heard that she was an 'ordinary person' without superpowers, just like Robin and the others, and only knew a little bit of hand-to-hand combat.
In order not to discourage the little girl, Lightning Boy also wanted to extend the sparring time as much as possible, without being careless.
However, the battle ended quickly.
Cassandra took down Kid Flash in just two seconds. Specifically, Cassandra used quick steps to close the distance with Kid Flash, who threw a punch. Cassandra dodged the punch and then landed a punch on Kid Flash's nose.
The Flash, struck in a vulnerable area, immediately collapsed to the ground, causing a complete 180-degree change in the expressions of most of those present.
The Martian girl was about to go up and comfort Cassandra, but she didn't expect that all the comforting words she had prepared would be useless. Oh wait, they could be used on Kid Flash instead.
"It's alright, Lightning Boy, two seconds is pretty impressive too."
Upon hearing this, Lightning Boy, who had struggled to his feet, blushed instantly, even redder than his nose where he had been hit.
The layman sees the spectacle, the expert sees the details; Robin, who was trained by Batman, naturally saw Cassandra's extraordinary qualities at a glance.
It seemed like Kidd of Lightning made the first move, but in reality, it was Cassandra who moved first. She first closed the distance to lure him into making a move, and then changed her actions the instant he raised his hand.
With a sideways swing and a swift, fluid motion, Cassandra had already anticipated the Flash's move long before he even made a move.
"Simple martial arts skills? Haha!"
Robin glanced at Yang Le sideways, his tone becoming sarcastic.
"Don't look at me, this assessment comes from Wonder Woman." Yang Le shrugged. Even he couldn't beat Cassandra without using the Omnitrix, so Diana usually trained Cassandra.
After all, the latter's martial arts skills are among the best in the Justice League, and Diana's fighting style, being a woman, is obviously more suitable for Cassandra than Yang Le's.
No matter how strong Cassandra is, she won't be a match for the Amazon princess. However, the former is like a sponge, and every training session brings her significant progress.
The training with Diana also brought about another change for Cassandra: her fighting style changed once again.
Originally, Cassandra was trained by David Cain, and every move she made came from the League of Assassins; her techniques were ruthless and insidious.
After Yang Le trained Cassandra for a while, her fighting style changed drastically.
Yang Le fought against Cassandra using three alien heroes: Bullfrog, Tiger, and Blade Eagle. These three alien heroes all had one thing in common: they were very strong in close combat.
If we only consider combat ability, then the above three should be the top three in the list.
These three alien heroes have different fighting styles. Bullfrog is the most well-rounded, using a style similar to mixed martial arts, and seems to know a little bit about everything.
Tiger is skilled in boxing and wrestling, and occasionally uses feline hunting techniques, while Blade Eagle, in addition to slashing techniques, also has outstanding kicking skills.
After facing three different alien heroes, Cassandra made significant progress each time, and Yang Le even discovered that Cassandra could learn and apply some of the alien heroes' attack methods.
This became even more apparent after learning from Diana; Cassandra now possesses an added touch of Amazonian agility. It's hard to imagine how powerful she will be when Cassandra truly grows up and her martial arts reach their peak.
...
Seeing that Yang Le had brought up Wonder Woman, Robin stopped pursuing the former's responsibility. After all, it wasn't him who was defeated in one round, so why was he in such a hurry?
"Don't you want to go up and give it a try?" Yang Le urged. "Cassandra may not have superpowers, but she has extremely high fighting talent. Maybe she can help you find your weaknesses."
Robin lowered his head in deep thought. He was genuinely considering the feasibility of what Yang Le had said. If it were true, then Cassandra would definitely be a great training assistant.
"Forget it." Robin shook her head. "Why think so much? Just try it and you'll know."
With that, Robin walked towards Cassandra without looking back.
This is exactly what Yang Le thought at the beginning, because he and Diana originally planned to make Cassandra a sparring partner for the Young Justice League.
Cassandra is powerful, but she is young and naive, and she is likely to be easily fooled by evil supervillains.
Therefore, Yang Le and Diana decided to let her first get in touch with the Young Justice League, so that she could gradually learn about superheroes and supervillains through her interactions with them.
As for why she chose the profession of sparring partner, it's because Cassandra is just too good at it.
Cassandra possesses a precognitive ability akin to seeing the future; she can instantly anticipate her opponent's next move and immediately exploit their weaknesses to launch a counterattack.
This is simply the perfect choice for a sparring partner.
For example, right now, Robin is using fighting techniques similar to karate, but Cassandra is countering him with her own jujitsu and wrestling techniques.
Just like the previous Flash Boy, Cassandra knocked Robin down in about two seconds.
Robin, on the other hand, did not feel ashamed after being knocked down by Cassandra. Instead, she stood up and began to ask herself about her shortcomings.
Cassandra wasn't intimidated by the stranger's question; instead, she tried to explain to Robin using sign language. However, Robin hadn't received any formal training and couldn't understand Cassandra's hand gestures at all.
However, this was no problem for Robin. He immediately brought over the Martian girl, and after connecting everyone telepathically, they began communicating again.
Cassandra was very happy; this way of communicating was quite convenient.
'Your timing was off, and your technique was rusty; it's clear you don't use similar techniques often.'
Cassandra's childish voice rang in everyone's minds, and Robin, as a student, listened very attentively.
"It's clear you're trying to use the same technique against me. I don't know who taught you this fighting style, but it's not suitable for you. You don't have the talent to master so many techniques."
"I suggest you focus on one or two skills and master them to perfection; that's the best approach."
