It didn't take long for Guy to make the connection between what was happening to him now and what he'd endured last night. Once again, he was suffering from a wound that had come from an invisible blade, and yet he already knew that this situation was different. There was no sense of him being in another place, another time, living out a death that didn't belong to him. This was real, and he had to wonder if the wounds would be gone by morning this time. With the arena-like setup, he was starting to doubt that.
Still disoriented, not to mention distracted by Anise's pained gasp that came from behind him, Guy wasn't prepared to get out of the way of Sync's attack. The God-General's punch connected, knocking Guy onto his back, hard. He had never doubted the Tempest's strength, and he could already feel a bruise forming on his cheek as the blood continued to drip down his chest.
Guy was nothing if not a quick fighter, though, and he immediately reasserted his grip on his sword and swiped out at Sync with it -- bringing the fight in close put them on a more equal level.
He heard the Head Doctor's words from above him and caught enough of the explanation that he felt newborn anger giving him the energy to fight even harder than before despite the wounds he'd already accumulated. So Anise had been injured, too? He didn't even have the luxury of making sure she was okay, but he knew one thing; he needed to fight relentlessly, which was something he was completely willing to do considering his opponent.
But then he had to wonder: had he received this injury because of Claude's hesitation? If that was the case, then chances were he was going to continue to have to brave attacks that he was powerless to block. He didn't believe the Head Doctor's apology for one second, and he would have cursed the man more directly if he wasn't busy focusing all of his attention on Sync.
