" Alright you two, this is a practice fight, you don't have to go overboard "
Ean said as he looked down at his son and later at Dio who was shining bright with confidence
" What did you teach him to make him act so confident? "
Ean questioned as he turned his attention over to Shu who was sitting on the ground, his arms crossed and his eyes on the two boys.
By the looks of it, Ean and Shu were holding a battle between their Sons
" Nothing much, he just tried to copy how I trained "
Shu said as he yawned a little, watching the two kids whilst Ean slowly started to back up, bringing three fingers
" In the count of three, you will both start fighting, Dio nothing extreme, and Asterlin don't use anything that could kill him, do you understand me? "
Ean said as his son would then nod, smirking as he would look over at Dio who seemed offended at Ean's remark
" I wouldn't tell him that if I were you "
Shu said as he scratched his cheek with the tip of his index fingers; his cold and solemn looking eyes staring deep into Ean's soul as he did so.
" Hmm. Well, you wouldn't want your child to die would you? Besides it's just a battle between friends, it shouldn't escalate to anything massive "
Ean replied as he would then sit beside Shu who could only stare at the children and hear the count down which came from Ean's mouth.
The moment the man shouted one, the boys would dash at each other with the intent to hurt one another.
Asterlin hurled a punch at Dio's face, but the black haired boy would simply catch it, bring Asterlin down with a strong pull and then bash his knee into the boy's face.
Dio would then let go of Asterlin's fist and then proceeded to wrap his arms around the boy's neck, squeezing it tightly in an attempt to knock him unconscious.
But to Dio's surprise, Asterlin was easily able to release himself by biting into the boy's arm.
Dio would hiss in pain as Asterlin would then hurl another punch, this time landing it right in the boy's nose, following it up with a kick to the neck which would make Dio stumble a little.
Asterlin would then jump back, taking a fighting stance to then jump forward, throwing a punch at Dio's stomach, causing the boy to spit out a bit of saliva only his mouth to be quickly shut by an uppercut from Asterlin which made Dio levitate for a few seconds.
" And you were so confident your son was gonna win, well, so far my boy has proven to be stronger "
Ean said as he proudly watched Asterlin bash his fists into Dio's abdomen and face, all which Shu watched with a calm expression.
Dio's face was almost completely covered in blood, and Asterlin was kind of tired, he seemed confident that he'd win with all the damage he made
" Are you done? "
Dio whispered as he wiped away quite a bit of blood from his face
" Huh? "
Asterlin exclaimed as he panted a bit, watching as his friend and rival wiped away all the blood from his face, carefully and slowly getting rid of the liquid which blocked his eye sight
" It's my turn now, right? "
Dio questioned, now done with the cleaning, there were still, bruises, cute and blood on his face, but for the most part it was clean enough for him to see clearly
" What is this? "
Asterlin replied as he took a step forward, hesitant to take another, but he would soon shake his head in denial and would then dash toward Dio who simply tilted his head
" I take it that's a yes "
Dio whispered as he would then close his right hand, forming a fist which he would later coat in Sanctuary Energy, the boy then dashed forward and swung his fist, slamming it into Asterln's face, sending him flying a few meters back, with a trail of blood which followed him as he flew.
Dio would then watch as Asterlin stood up, only to start to walk toward the boy, which frightened him a little, but Asterlin didn't back down, and instead ran toward Dio, coating his hands in Sanctuary Energy, and as fast as he could, he would swing and hurl a bunch of punches at Dio's face, but the boy dodged them effortlessly.
With a quick movement Dio would throw a jab at Asterlin's stomach, stopping him from doing any other attack, as well as knocking all the air out of him, bringing him down to his knees
" I've become more physically stronger and faster, plus father has taught me a way to fight in which would allow me to conserve energy "
Dio explained as he would then raise his hand up into the air, holding it open whilst forming a blade of energy around it
" You think you're better than me? "
Asterlin replied as he would then jump up, grabbing Dio by his head and then slamming his knee into his nose, causing Dio to lose all body movement for about two seconds, and in that amount of time, Asterlin would grip Dio's hair and then slam his face against the ground, proceeding to hurl him away right after.
" Let's fight for real then, let's see who would win in a real fight "
Asterlin declared as his blue eyes would start to shine a bright red
" Alright then you bastard, let's see who's the best once in for all "
Dio replied, wiping away the blood which dripped from his nose, and just when the two of them were about to run toward each other, both Shu and Ean would step in, grabbing both their son's by their shirts, stopping them from running any further
" Alright, that's the end of the fight "
Ean declared, which would disappoint the two boys who would then simultaneously say
" What!?! Why!?! It was just getting good!! "
" Well for one, you two were taking this fight way too seriously, and second, it's time we ate "
Ean would then point over at a maid who placed a few blankets on the grass, and later on top of it, baskets of food
" Don't tell me you kids aren't hungry? "
Ean questioned, only to look down, seeing the two boy's drooling almost as if they've forgotten they just had a fight
