Summary: A fencer without powers aims to showcase how far humanity's swordsmanship can go against swordsmanship created by magic.
Update Schedule: Friday, 2pm EST!

The Referee
There were no kings in the Empireβonly City Lords in charge of managing provinces. Yet, there was a King in Cresna now and his name was Valle. A Declaration of Independence had just occurred and been transmitted across Imperial lands.
A rebellion was a serious business for most.
I could not, despite my best efforts, care about it.
βTHE SCORE IS 40-36! THE NEW BLADEWOLVES LEAD!β I thundered. At this, both teams turned to face me. βThe ghosts of the past are gone! Throw away thoughts of the futureβfor now, you must steel your resolve and march forward!β
Needless warning, that one. Both fencers were burning up with excitement for their next match.
The Clash of Real and Fake was to begin.
From one side of the piste, Duartes-Carr stretched, a sort of calmness about him. He cared little for the Echoes of the Past that had transpired a short while ago. Rebellions didnβt interest him either; there was no question in his being that Johan would stop such rebellion from ever taking place. Nothing about those extraordinary events that had occurred before him mattered to him.
There was only one thing he took away from that match.
βWeβre behind by four points,β Duartes-Carr noted dryly. βLooks like Iβll be fencing from behind.β
Max nodded. βSo it does.β By now Max was more than aware that the man beside him was not his old friend, but rather an abomination created mixing Carrβs memories and Duartesβ body. Still, the man was a competitor above all. βAh, wellβ¦it could be worse. Individual legs last longer than on Earth, so you have the time to work on this. Take it easy, you can win.β
Duartes-Carr raised an eyebrow at this. βNot gonna lie, I would have thought you would be leaving me like everybody else.β He hadnβt shown, but Katherineβs change of sidesβand the Executionerβs to a lesser degreeβhad wounded him.
βYouβre my teammate,β Max replied calmly. βI donβt care if youβre not my friend. I donβt care if youβre not the real Carr. I donβt care if youβre the Devil himself, and trust me I have met the damned man. So long as youβre on my team, Iβll be behind you until the very end.β
βIs that so?β Duartes-Carr sounded genuinely touched. βYou rea

At the height of the Vietnam War, the US army and the Department of STAAR (A covert government agency) began issuing experimental drugs and serums to medical patients and monitoring the effects in hopes that they could recreate a super team they once had. The experiments showed no immediate results in the subjects, and the project was abandoned after the fall of Saigon. However, while those whoβd been given the treatment went on to live their lives and remain unaffected by the experiments, their descendants would go on to have traits manifest generations later.
As kids The Four were brought together by their parents so that their Familias (the crime families in the city) could broker a truce between them. In time, The Four grew up to become the snobbish rich kids and bullies at their school, the kind of kids who rules seemingly donβt apply to and no one wants to mess with. Already a group of brats with low morals, once their powers began to manifest in their teenage years, The Four sought to not only use their abilities to tear down their parents empires, but to take them over for their own.

Zack can also travel through wires, electrical sockets, power outlets, telephone lines, computers, and even cell phones.
Robert Smith / Lava Man : A human volcano, Robert has the power to generate and coat himself in Obsidian armor thatβs as razor sharp as it is nearly impossible to break, can emit pyroclastic cloud bursts that incinerate and suffocate everything in their path, can heat metal around him into molten states that he can then throw at enemies, and is even capable of causing small yet powerful seismic quakes by stomping his feet.

I thought about not writing anymore DD's, but due to the presence of u/joeskunk's massive big dongus brain I decided it would be a nice challenge to race him to multibagger call count 10 in the r/SqueezePlays subreddit. So with that being said, I decided to whip out a quick DD before this thing possibly heads to the moon.
Usually it takes me 10+ hours to write a proper DD since I usually go more in depth + analysis, but since this is just a quick DD, I'll be writing this in about 2 hours with the help of some friends. As a result, there may be some holes in my thesis, so tread carefully.
Anyways, with that being said, and without further ado, I present to you, the boob stock $CNTX. The market loves boobs. In the words of u/RefridgeratorOwn69, who already wrote a DD on CNTX just yesterday (link)

"Ah, I see - you'll need more context," said Alexandra, "Back to basics then. Following the Second Cyber Crisis, there was a significant period of the time from the mid-2400s to the early 2600s where the entire Sol system was dominated by corporations. During the rush to Mars in the 2300s a claim system had been set up and legally recognised which massively favoured corporate interests - it pretty much said that if you had the orbital infrastructure to enforce a claim, it was yours, and with most of Earth's space infrastructure in private ownership after the Second Cyber Crisis, the conditions were perfect for a mad corporate rush to space. The assets of the solar system were divided over a number of decades, with corporations staking claims over large swathes of resources and planets, even if they had no ability to exploit them at the time - after all, what was an orbital station or small fleet of ships worth compared to the possible future value of an entire planet or moon?"
"Surely people resisted?" I said.
"That was much harder than you might think. The situation on Earth was much the same - the average private citizen owned very little, constantly paying off their debts to the corporations. It meant that troublemakers were effectively cut off, or for the worst Multispheres, disappeared. Most resistance came from other Multispheres - they were not averse to warring for control of resources. That being said where corporate influence was a little more tenuous some private citizens did try to strike back - the Jovian Pirates are probably the best example. But to really give you an idea of what the Multispheres had become, some corporations were even issuing their own currencies, giving them as much political capital as the countries of your own time and making their workers almost entirely dependent on their continued employment to live. That's not something that Crux did, I'd like to think we were better than that. But you can imagine that if you lost your job and were to be evicted from corporate residences on Ganymede, you'd have to take on a hell of a lot of debt to get yourself to somewhere else, and be in a great deal of trouble in the meantime. Simply put, the Multispheres made the monopolies of the centuries prior look positively competitive in comparison."
She shook her head slightly and sighed a little.
"Oh, and if anyone asks I would say that you should ignore whatever Earth

First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Summary: Carr, the genius swordsman without magic began his duel against his copy, a man with all his skills and the willingness to use such magic!
Update Schedule: Monday!

The Referee
Why are you coming forward when youβre so much slower? Duartes-Carr thought. A second later, shock wore off and he readied himself. No, thatβs exactly why youβre coming forward, isnβt it?
What is speed in a fight, pragmatically speaking?
It is the ability to collapse distance quickly. This point has two meanings; the ability to close the distance between yourself and your opponent and the ability to close the distance between your instrument of violenceβeither your fist or your weapon. In other words, your the speed of your legs and your hands. When outmatching your opponent in either department, you may control the pace of the fightβafter all, how can they fight against that which they cannot react to?
How, then, does one neutralize such an advantage?
For the leg speed, one theoryβand the most common, instinctive reaction for the uninitiatedβis to simply increase the distance between the two. The logic goes thusly: if one fencer can move across a certain distance faster than the other fencer can react, then by increasing the amount of distance the other fencer has to travel the slower fencer can increase the amount of time he has to react.
This logic is at times solid in both sports and in this world, but it falls apart often. It worked in Carrβs duel against Cassiusβthe latter was faster than Carr, but because of Carrβs intelligent distance management and Cassiusβ absurd bullrush he was giving Carr enough time to react.
This was not the case against a competent fencer like Duartes-Carr.
True, if he was trying to cross that absurd distance in one motion he would give Carr enough time to react. But he wasnβt just a master of stats, he was a master at fencing. This meant he knew that the faster fencer should, in response, just approach in two separate tempos. One step to close the distance, and another step to actually execute his movementβthis way, the distance he was traveling with his movement would be shortened and his slower opponent would not be given the chance to react.
Thus Carr picked the only other option available
