The atmosphere is so quiet, every second the adrenaline increases. Although it was almost silent, the tension there continued to rise to its peak.
Inside a long-abandoned building, dozens of people gathered around the four men who were staring at each other. Of the four of them, only one would stand, and he would one day lead all those who were there.
Edwin, Marshall, Zico. And of course, the one who challenged them all, Aldy.
Everyone was still silent, waiting for someone to open the first attack. And after a while, as expected, Zico who was the youngest among the four of them stepped forward and charged straight at Edwin.
Edwin and Zico began to attack each other. Meanwhile, Marsel looked straight at Aldy.
"No matter what happens after this, I will still consider you as a friend," said Marsel who did not get a response from Aldy. "Is there anything you want to say?"
Aldy remained expressionless, making Marsel chuckle a little. Finally, Marsel started his steps, slowly but surely he walked towards Aldy. Even though Marsel looks very ready to fight, Aldy's attitude hasn't really changed from the start.
Marsel who was still walking towards where Aldy was also guessed in his mind, is Aldy not ready to fight with him?
Did Aldy underestimate him that much?
For whatever reason, even though Marsel considers Aldy his best friend, he also doesn't like to feel humiliated like that. Even though Marsel didn't know the truth, that Aldy never changed his attitude because from the start he was already ready to fight anytime and with anyone.
Marsel clenched his fists, quickened his pace, and jumped. His fist darted straight towards Aldy's face. Aldy could see the direction of Marsel's attack which he thought was too monotonous.
Maybe he'll teach Marsel how to fight more effectively next time.
Aldy did not dodge the attack. What he did was kicked Marsel's stomach with the sole of his right foot very hard. Marsel's body that had been floating in the air thanks to the jump he did to attack Aldy now flinched. Marsel did not expect Aldy to immediately launch a counterattack, making him not ready to accept it.
As soon as Marsel's feet were back on the floor, he fell to his knees on one leg while holding the stomach that had been kicked so hard by Aldy. As a result of his low body position when he fell to his knees like that, Aldy didn't give Marsel the slightest rest.
While Marsel was still kneeling on one leg, Aldy grabbed Marsel's head with both hands. And at that moment, Aldy rewarded Marsel's face with a very heavy knee strike.
Duakkkk!~ ...
Fresh blood was flowing from Marshall's nostrils. Marshall fell lying on the floor. Even though he still wanted to continue the fight with Aldy, Aldy immediately knocked him unconscious because when Marsel's head touched the floor, at that moment Aldy threw a hard kick like he was kicking a soccer ball into Marsel's face which instantly made Marsel lose consciousness.
The fight between Marsel and Aldy ended in no more than ten seconds. All the gang's member that led by Marsel could only stare in disbelief at Aldy, the person who overthrew their leader like it was nothing.
Aldy was standing right next to Marsel's head who was lying unconscious on the floor. His gaze fell on his friend's face. "Sorry, Sel. But I warned you from the start that I wouldn't hold back."
Aldy turned around and fixed his gaze on Edwin and Zico who were still fighting. Although Edwin looked cornered by the attacks that Zico launched at him, but the expression that Edwin showed seemed to say that he was in complete control of the fight.
Zico did continue to attack Edwin blindly, but Aldy could see it. Edwin was not unable to retaliate, but he was waiting for the right moment to launch a counterattack.
And sure enough, when Zico's attack started to slow down, Edwin immediately threw an uppercut on Zico's lower jaw. Zico looked up at the ceiling of the building, took a few steps back, and created some distance between himself and Edwin.
Edwin grinned and stepped forward. He jumped and landed his knee on Zico's chest.
Bammm!~ …
Zico fell on the floor clutching his chest. Edwin quickly sat on Zico's body lying on the floor, pressing him down while throwing punches from his left and right hands to Zico's face repeatedly. Zico could only protect his face with both hands.
Edwin continued to attack Zico while laughing, and finally Edwin decided to end the fight by taking Zico's one hand and locking it with an arm-bar lock using his both legs.
"Aaaaakkh!" Zico couldn't hold back his screams when he heard a loud 'crack' sound from his wrist and right shoulder which was locked by Edwin.
Edwin released Zico's hand from his lock and immediately kicked Zico's face, making Zico also unconscious.
Now only two people are left standing.
Edwin stood back up and took a deep breath while giving Aldy a very condescending look. "I thought you guys were great. I guess I did have high hopes for you."
Aldy also smiled. "Done?"
"Not yet. Can I advice something for you?" Edwin asked Aldy. Even though he knew that Aldy would not heed it, Edwin finally continued his words without waiting for a response from Aldy which he knew he would not get. "You'd better join my gang. If you kiss my feet, maybe I'll consider not making you stay in the hospital for a few weeks. You know what I mean, don't you?"
Aldy cast his gaze down and started laughing. For some reason, Aldy's laughter made Edwin chuckle too. But when Aldy turned his gaze back to her, Edwin felt like his throat suddenly went dry.
Aldy looked Edwin straight in the eye, "I didn't want to do this at first. But, it seems I changed my mind."
Edwin frowned, curious about what Aldy meant. "Change your mind about what?"
Ally was silent for a moment.
"I changed my mind," said Aldy as he stepped forward towards Edwin. "Looks like I really have to dislocate your jawbone."
Edwin who heard that smiled and started his steps towards Aldy. The longer their steps got faster. And finally, they both ran to each other.
Aldy jumped up and pulled his fist back, while Edwin remained on the concrete floor of the old building and pulled his fist back as well.
The battle between the two most respected and feared monsters in the Caius Ballad Private High School was unavoidable.
