What is this sight! I have barely known Jiwoo, however I could never have guessed his spiritual pressure could be similarly matched with the Eagle King! It's barely enough for my brain and eyes to handle, their spiritual clash is too strong!
"Jiwoo, how much more can you handle!" the Eagle King asked.
"JIWOO!! DON'T FOCUS ON TALKING BUT FOCUS ON WINNING THIS CLASH!" I shouted.
I could see how much Jiwoo was struggling, he was slowly losing. He let me loose once we got into the building, if I wouldn't have started hiding behind one of the pillars immediately I might have gotten into serious injuries. If a third party intervenes between two clashes, the outcome could be severe!
Suddenly, both of them stopped at the same time! The ground stopped shaking and I could see that Jiwoo calmed a bit down.
"KARL!" Jiwoo shouted.
"Yes Jiwoo!" I answered quickly.
He was hyperventilating, most probably because of stress.
"I'm unsure.." he said while still catching his breath.
I stood there quietly.
"Unsure if I can beat this guy!" he said and stared right at the King.
***
I feel like I can't even breathe anymore, that clash was my first and was too much for me to handle!
"This seems to be your very first serious fight revolving around Jinni's!" he said.
I kept breathing and trying to say something back.
"Y-Yes.." I said.
"Hmph!" he said and quickly raised both of his arms mimicking a T pose.
"Well if you thought I would give you a break, I won't!" he said.
"W-What.." I said.
"You're not only the important one here, once I beat you I have access to Karl who is much more important!" He kept talking.
That's right! Karl's bounty has double the reward as mine! But why, why is he so important to them? What is Karl hiding from us, there must be something!
"Therefore! The fight must continue!" he said and suddenly disappeared.
I started panicking, what do I do?
"You're slow" he said and suddenly I got hit with a punch on my face!
I flew back and landed on the ground. He was standing in front of me.
"W-Wha-" I said before I got cut off.
"In a real fight, you don't have time to talk!" he shouted under his mask and tried to kick me, but I quickly dodged.
I quickly got up and held my fists up, I had no time to waste! I quickly jumped towards him and tried to land a punch, but he saw through me and dodged by only moving his head slightly to the side.
"Weak" he said and kicked me on my stomach.
"Sh-Shit!" I said and put my hands against my stomach while slowly moving backwards.
He's.. He's much stronger than me! I tried to keep my head straight and look at him, he was already walking towards me. I quickly held up my fists again, I can't get hit again by this guy!
He got closer and closer but didn't show any sign of attacking. I kept my guard up in case!
"COME ON, ATTACK ME!" I shouted behind my fists.
He didn't lay a single attack, but got closer and closer. He grabbed my wrist with immense force and slowly pushed it away from my face while he got closer behind my ear.
"You are weak" he said.
I couldn't move, at all! His pressure, it's too strong for me! He threw my hand away resulting in me falling to the ground.
"S-Shit!" I stuttered.
He started walking towards me again, I still had trouble moving.
"Hmph, it doesn't even seem that I even have to use my Jinni for this pathetic excuse that you call a battle!" he said while continuing to walk up to me.
This shit head.. He's making fun of me! I'll show him! I started to slowly get up.
"I'LL SHOW YOU A REAL BATTLE!" I shouted and punched him right in the stomach.
He moved back but only a little bit, but I still was able to land a punch!
"COME ONE NOW, WE HAVE ONLY BEGUN!" I kept shouting and put out my hands.
He was quiet, but he was looking at me. That punch wasn't enough for him, but it was an improvement!
"You.. Punched me.." he said in a quiet tone.
I didn't answer.
"Tsch-" he said and suddenly vanished!
AGAIN! Where did he go?! I kept looking around using my eyes instead of my whole head. I still had my guard up close to my head. Suddenly, all I could see was a flying kick coming towards me!
"Hmph!" he said and jumped back.
I succeeded in blocking it! I tilted down my fists just a little bit so I was able to stare at him.
"Maybe this will take a little longer!" he said with a more serious tone.
"No.." I said.
I started running towards him, he didn't make an effort to run away. I got close, just as he was going to jump away, I grabbed him by his legs and threw him back to the ground!
"Even if you are fast!" I said.
He got up in a flash.
"I'LL END THIS QUICKER THAN YOU!" I shouted and held up my fists again.
He disappeared again, I did the same and only looked around using my eyes and not my head.
"Good luck!" his voice said from behind me, I felt him grabbing my head.
"I don't think you'll be able to win this" he said and pushed down my head, smashing it on the ground.
I felt as he ungrabbed my head. I slowly got up, I could feel blood on my forehead, but it was nothing! I slowly got up and turned behind me to look at him.
"I.." I said.
"I will win this..!" I said and stared at him with a smile.
