" Well. I wouldn't be too worried, can't you see that look on his face? Besides, his leg already healed "
Fu said as that proud smile grew back up, though unbeknownst to anyone else; Shu was also smiling. No, it was more like a grin, a demonic and excited one, as he received punches and punches, one after another.
And without any form of warning, a strong kick landed on Arthur's face, shooting him down to the ground
" Finally free "
Shu said with a distorted voice as he then grabbed onto Ayami's face pulling her close before kneeing her in the center of her stomach before kicking Ean on his ribs sending him flying toward Arthur, who was slowly standing, just to be laid back down by Ean's body.
" Hmm. Something changed "
Ezra said as he walked forward, proceeding to stand next to Fu who looked up with a calm expression
" That doesn't feel like him "
Ezra added as he squinted his eyes, to get a better look at the boy, seeing only his grind and his now wide-open eyes
" Are you talking about Shu? "
Fu questioned whilst raising an eyebrow as he turned to look at the giant of a man, who simply nodded as if to answer the man's question.
" Yeah, he looks and—feels, different, his energy is the same but, it isn't at the same time "
Ezra explained, telling Fu what his worries were, which made the man sigh a bit
" Well nothing wrong has happened yet, so let's just keep watching for now "
Fu relied, making the bigger man nod as Ana walked forward, listening to them talk, to just simply stand next to them both.
The fight continued, with Shu aggressively hurling Ayami toward the ground, flying down at an insane speed, leaving behind a distorted trail before crashing against her stomach, making her spit saliva as a crater formed underneath them.
" Damm, he got Ayami "
Ean said as he stood up, holding both of his swords tightly as he moved his upper body down a bit.
" We'll have to go all out, against Shu there's nothing to learn about him except the fact that he's too strong for his age "
Arthur replied as he got up right after Ean, and the moment he did, both of their bodies began to glow a bright blue, before shattering into thousands of small particles, allowing their awakenings to be seen.
" Oh. "
Shu whispered as he lowered his upper body down, placing his right leg forward, leaving his left behind whilst letting his arms hang from his shoulders before disappearing in a blur of speed, creating a crater and a burst of wind from the sudden increase in speed.
To the two boys' surprise, Shu was behind them, grinning devilishly, which made the two shake in fear before gaining back their composure seeing as Ayami appeared right beside Shu, kicking him in his face with her left foot engulfed in powerful winds.
The attack sent him far across the weight, empty and wide room before he began to bounce on the ground, crashing violently against it, leaving nothing but small craters every time he landed, ending the moment he crashed against the far-away wall.
" Thanks for the save Ayami "
Arthur said as he patted her back, making Ean smile as he saw her appearance
" I've never seen your spiritual awakening, it looks cool "
Ean said, complementing her new look, as he pointed the tip of one of his swords toward her before giving her a thumbs up with a bit of difficulty.
Her appearance was a bit odd but oddly godly, there was a huge white halo floating behind her back, and her hair spiked up, colored white, her eyes were of bright yellow, air circulated and traveled around her waistline, shoulders, and neck like clouds would skyscrapers.
" Yes, I have to agree, it looks quite heavenly "
Arthur added before the three of them got interrupted by an odd laugh, of course coming from none other than Shu, who pushed his body away from the wall, using the palms of his hands, leaving his hand print on them.
" I feel weird "
Shu said, loud enough for everyone in the room to hear as that demonic smile grew on his face, letting the three boys feel his intent, but before they could do anything, Shu would lose his balance, allowing his body to fall forward before disappearing in a blur of speed, appearing in front of Ean, grabbing him by his head, slamming his knee right on his nose.
He'd hold on till the boy fell to the ground, pushing himself away seeing as the other two dashed toward him.
" I feel stronger, yet I haven't even used my awakening "
Shu said as he grabbed Ayami by her face, squeezing it tight before turning to look at Arthur with a grin
" No...no, not again! "
Ayami yelled before being hurled across the room, violently and aggressively crashing against a wall, her body sinking halfway in due to the force of the impact.
" Now, it's you and me "
Shu whispered as he disappeared and reappeared right below Arthur with a readied kick.
" You allowed me a clean hit, you bozo "
Arthur said, as he quickly reached down to Shu's face, holding it tight his hand engulfed in fire, forcing out more in an attempt to burn his face.
A few seconds passed, and a grin grew on Arthur's almost as if he was sure that had done in Shu, but to his surprise, the boy still had that weird and creepy smile lurking across his face.
This startled the boy a bit allowing Shu the time to knee him on his ribs
" Grandpa asked me once... "
Shu whispered as Arthur fell down to his knees, holding his now broken bones as all Shu did was watch Ayami free herself from the room's wall
" Do you want to specify your training in your legs or arms? Do you want to know what my answer was? "
Shu added as he grabbed Arthur by his hair, raising him up to take a closer look at his pain-imbued face before grinning
" I told him, my legs, because they pack a stronger force "
Shu finished before pulling Arthur higher up in the air, letting him go the moment his fade was above his own head, kicking him right on the rib he had shattered with all his strength, sending him flying against Ayami, who began to recover.
Not wanting to get injured anymore, the girl moved to a side, allowing Arthur's body to crash against the wall, creating a crater bigger than what Ayami's body did.
" Let's increase the intensity a bit "
Shu whispered as blood began to drip from his lips and eyes, yet that smile still remained
