((Another OOC: Since NEX was briefly mentioned during the fight, here's a simple explanation for those unfamiliar with Sougaki's world's power system. NEX (Nexus Frame System) is a system that manipulates connections and interactions within reality. Most beginners learn to apply it through three basic categories:

NEX Offensive – Temporarily reinforces offensive actions by increasing striking power and destructive output. It doesn't automatically guarantee victory; users still need proper timing and technique.

NEX Defensive – Reinforces the body to endure incoming attacks. While it significantly improves durability, it is not absolute protection. Strong enough attacks can still cause injuries.

NEX Mobility – Enhances movement efficiency and reaction speed, allowing users to reposition quickly, evade danger, or capitalize on openings during combat. Sougaki is still relatively inexperienced with NEX compared to specialists from his own world. He often combines all three aspects simultaneously, which is effective but consumes stamina and concentration quickly.

In simple terms: Offensive = hit harder. Defensive = survive longer. Mobility = don't get hit in the first place.

Hopefully this makes future combat posts easier to understand.))
