Spacequakes, an enigmatic occurrence known to only a few, with the timing of its triggers eluding even someone as intelligent as myself. Humans aspire for intelligence, yet they remain unaware of the challenges that come with it. Achieving greatness prompts a cascade of questioning.
Though I habitually measure my success against others, I find little satisfaction in comparison. Regardless of my actions, success seems inevitable, breeding jealousy within my circle. Yet, none of this envy hinders my relentless pursuit of achievement, and failure remains an unfamiliar taste. As I alluded earlier, heightened intelligence prompts incessant questioning.

With that in my mind, I made a bluff charge, calculated the exact pinpoint, and at the right time, instead of facing it head on, I evaded her attack few centimeters away from the tip of her blade. I barely did it, but that was still not enough to cement the results. Shinigami had her own set of surprises as well.
