- Hawai'i, Wednesday 3:15 pm -
The gradual struggle continued, and Ayuka appeared to be adapting at an unusually fast rate.
Surfing through the air from a front flip caused her body to spin and, upon landing, slashed straight down, at which point the man shifted back and came into the vision of a large aura explosion that drifted up in the air, terrifying everyone in Hawai'i.
Fortunately, Ayuka immediately recovered her position after being struck and then raised her top from inside the dust on the outside, quickly swiping her blade behind her back and covering her lips with a wrist to run through the dust and close in on the man.
However, after extending her blade forward in the hopes of hollowing out the man's heart, he squatted on the floor in front of her belly button, making her humiliated. She overcame this by elevating her sword and shrieking, then chopping down.
However, because the man was faster, he raised his elbow and smacked Ayuka at the bottom of her chin, causing her expression to change to one of anguish, and she sensed how her opponent's fist opened into a palm and unleashed a close-ranged pulse that knocked her up in the air.
The man jumped after her and quickly backed his leg, spinning and stretching his bent leg forward as he closed in on her, kicking right into his opponent, whereas Ayuka quickly blocked his hit with her arms, feeling more pain and pushing back into the wall, only to quickly recover from the pain and land on the floor.
Our heroine quickly wiped the scratch on her chin and returned to the struggle, only to see the man, land in front of her.
"Will I ever grow accustomed to these clothes? Tsch... I guess I'll have to deal with it or else I'll lose focus in the battle." She sped forward and swung her left arm forward, pointing her fingers straight up and twisting the blade's hilt behind her back, summoning a transparent aura.
"Is it some kind of 'Aura Spell?'" The man was on the verge of breaking down the secret technique that Ayuka had been unleashing.
To prepare for the upcoming strike, he swept the blade forward in a circular motion to confront Ayuka. Ayuka's scratch began to fade and clean her well-cared-for skin, and she swimmingly twisted the blade back forward to boost her physical effects, and she stomped the ground into little shards and sprinted ahead, faster than she'd ever been when rapidly getting to the front of her opponent.
She sliced straight at the front of the man's chest with a well-organized assault and remarkable accuracy, but he swiftly stepped back and readied a block with his own blade, so Ayuka continued to push ahead, delivering fast cuts and hoping to damage her opponent at least once.
But that wasn't the case until the very last swing was blocked, and just as she caught her opponent off guard, she turned sideways, raised her right leg, and stretched it right next to the man's ear, smashing him into the side of his head with her sole, causing him to flinch, and moving on to the next attack.
She slipped the back of the man's ankle, knocked him into the air, and then swiped her blade obliquely after his body got stomped by her leg, downward.
Despite her precise and accurate move, the man spun to avoid the cut and then rolled sideways, smashing his foot into Ayuka's back and pushing her forward, catching his balance on the landing, and quickly tackled Ayuka from behind, pinning her to the ground with his weight on her back, and disarming her.
"I believe you've been defeated..." His voice could be heard near Ayuka's head, and she was visibly angry, yet she did her hardest to escape his clutches and body weight.
"Get off my back!" She yelled out and attempted to get up, but the man increased his strength and pinned her to the ground.
"You shouldn't fight back; I still have my sword, and fighting without one would be unfair. Simply put, you've lost, right?!" The man yelled loudly.
But, as she was speaking, she declined. "You're completely wrong!"
"Huh?!"
Ayuka slammed her head into the man's nose, knocking him back to his feet, before rolling to the side and sweeping her leg into the man's bottom leg. She jumped to her feet, seized the man's shoulder and neck, and tackled him back to the ground, pinning him.
When the man got his blade hilted in front of her neck, they both remained still, as if they were on the verge of defeat, and it was evident that our Heroine had sweat droplets slowly dripping down her face.
"So, what do you want to do? Kill me? Go ahead, because I'm not going to let go of you," Ayuka asserted, as the man appeared serious. "If you don't let go, I WILL cut your throat."
None of them, however, gave in. "Go ahead, do it," the girl said, "But what answers will you obtain if I'm dead?" And he knew it, even though he had no choice but to take the blade away.
"All right... This is the end of our conversation..." And soon as Ayuka let go, the man bent his left knee and footed her into the stomach, causing her to taste another sensation of pain, and as he sprang to his feet, he turned on his leg into a hop and smacked Ayuka directly into the face, driving her back against the wall.
So the man dashed into her and slammed her up against a wall, clutching her tightly and staring down at her, their chests pressed against one other. "Do you really think I'd just let you win?"
His fingers were so tight around Ayuka's neck that she could hardly speak.
"Your compassionate heart beats too quickly to give in. Say it now! This duel is over for you! There isn't much you can do! There's nothing you can do because I've pinned you against the wall! Kicking me is also out of the question; after all, I'm so close that you don't have room to move your legs!"
"Oh, and there was a headbutt. Don't worry, I've got you covered!" The man leaned back and screamed before crashing his hard forehead into Ayuka's, nearly crushing her skull when the wall behind them crumbled, and Ayuka's pain quickly overtook her body.
"Warning. I'm sure I'll be able to do it again! But if I do that, your skull could be crushed at any moment!"
"Now! Please tell me! What happened to Kylin?" His yell rang down the alleyway, but black-like whips swung from Ayuka's front and the man's neck, catching them off guard.
When the man leaped back, Ayuka was immediately let off, and the black-like whip splintered into frightening energy, creating a strange wind and shredding and splitting the walls around them.
Soon after, both Ayuka and Kylin's brother shielded their views from the dust and wind, they faced the same way.
When a sharp, twisted blade continued to thrust forward onto the man's neck, forcing him to stay in one location, and just as Ayuka let go of her neck from the pain she was receiving, she smiled.
The boy's eyes were closed, and he maintained his composure until he finally opened them. "You might want to leave her alone unless you want to end yourself in the abyss of defeat."
Once the man grew serious, the sword slowly dispersed the black vapor. "You're 'he,' right? Stay out of our way, though, for we made a contract in a duel."
Said the man, who was getting uneasy vibrations from the boy's aura.
"I just wanted to stop you for one reason," Finally the person appeared to had been Tim, who sighed after being serious. "That was dangling dangerously close to her torso! I'll slash YOUR throat if you touch her again! I don't care if you win or lose if you're a real man! Just, seriously, don't go too close to her!" When both the man and Ayuka were confused, Tim yelled loudly.
However, after hearing that, Ayuka became ashamed and shy. "What? You fool, there was no other option for me if I wanted to win!" The man screamed. "Keep your mouth shut! Isn't it obvious that she's already self-conscious about her appearance? You're exacerbating the problem by getting too close to her skin, particularly her chest! I understand they're large, but please don't be such a jerk." However, Ayuka's expression changed when Tim said so.
A red fury symbol rose over Ayuka's brow, scorching in her face as she released a burning aura, making Tim uneasy.
"You..."
"Huh?" Tim's body seemed insignificant in comparison to Ayuka's when he noticed a mischievous look on her face. "You came here to play the part of a hero?! And all you talk about is how close he is to me and my breast size?!" When Tim's eyes appeared to be squiggly, she tightened both of her hands and cracked them.
"Whoa! Ayuka, calm down! Let's just talk about this for a minute! I'm sure we'll be able to set that aside, right?" He tried to chuckle, but he was too terrified of her rage to do so. "In this perplexing circumstance, there is no 'dialogue'! I'm going to tear your entire body apart once I get my hands on you! Along with your hair, of course!"
"Okay! Sorry! Sorry! I'm not going to annoy you! Just don't be like that!"
"Like what?"
"Like that! You're dreadful! Be your adorable self!" And, thankfully, Ayuka calmed down and placed her right palm on her hip the instant Tim stated so. "Fine. But after this, I'm still going to murder you."
Tim took a step back after taking a gulp and tried to relax. "Wow... I had no idea offspring of such teenagers were so strange..." The man said this while rubbing the back of his skull.
"Keep your mouth shut! This isn't the end of the story! I'd want to express my gratitude to my 'adorable' companion... But that will have to wait until after he's tragically dead!" Ayuka swiftly stretched her right arm forward and yanked her sword back with force, without having to reach for it.
"Just so you're aware... You're going to have your ass kicked whenever she's in her heat zone, man. Are we on the same page here?" Tim pondered as he leaned against the wall, his eyes closed.
The man, on the other hand, was unconcerned. "It doesn't matter if you're heated in a fight or not. She's still sluggish..." Tim sighed as he claimed the man's claim. "Just a thought. After that, don't come crying to me."
"It's time to have some fun with this wonderful toy! Prepare to lose! And, you!" Tim was concerned as the stranger returned his stare. "If you try to get in the way, I'll murder you."
"The only one who can kill him is me!" Ayuka stomped the ground with great force, releasing a cloud of ice spikes that proceeded to speed through the pavement, freezing everything in their path.
"Damn! I had no idea you wielded a Kineticism!" But, as Ayuka bounced high in the air, the guy swung his blade forward, holding it with both hands, and began to blast electricity from it, and just as the ice came into touch with the highly charged blade, the super-conduction of the ice arose, resulting in a great explosion.
"Now we'll find out who won this fight!" Ayuka's garments waved as she summoned immense cold wind energy, and a bolt of lightning flew through the air, striking her leg ribbon, and her expression changed dramatically.
Her garments began to untangle themselves, and her body connected with the floor in a matter of seconds, stripping her naked and shattering her body on the floor.
And, while her clothing was fully undone, she had her stripped right top on, displaying the most of her chest, but happily, the rest of her body was still covered.
When the mist awoke from the superconduction, Tim and the man both froze on the spot when they saw Ayuka dragging herself up, and she quickly noticed both of them, their faces flaming.
"Why in the world would you do such a thing?!" Tim screamed angrily.
"That was not my intention! I was attempting to hit her face!" The man screamed.
"For God's sake, you have no idea how precision works, do you?!" Tim screamed.
However, Tim, being a gentleman, turned away and grasped his head. "You've got to be joking, right? Why would she wear such loose-fitting garments if they're so easy to undo?"
When Ayuka looked at herself, she seemed to be even more humiliated than the other two boys.
She sat down and swiftly twisted around, covering her right side of the top.
"GET OUT OF HERE! DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!"
Hearing her scream, Tim and the men both turned around.
