Chapter 26 - The Playful Eagle 22: Versus The Eagles! Part 13

"You never know when to stop, do you?" he asked me.

I held up my guard again.

"I only stop when I'm losing!" I said.

I'm still good! I have gotten two hits on him, whilst he has got.. A lot… a lot more hits on me. Who am I kidding?! I'M LOSING!

"Be ready!" I said and started to run up towards him.

He slowly moved his leg to jump away. The second before he jumped away I tried to swing my fist on him but he was too fast for me!

"COME ON JIWOO!" Karl shouted.

I took in his support, even if it doesn't mean much, support is still support! I looked around, he had jumped a distance behind me.

"Keep doing this, and you'll be wiped!" he said.

I pointed at him.

"Then how about YOU show me a real fight?!" I shouted at him with a smile.

He started to laugh. He kept laughing. I started to run towards him, I had my fist ready to punch him.

"STOP LAUGHING!" I shouted and went in for a punch, but he quickly dodged it!

It's almost as if he can see through me, or as if he can see into the future!

"Come on! Keep this circus entertained!" he shouted.

I couldn't hide my anger.

"STOP MAKING FUN OUT OF ME!" I shouted back.

I turned my body behind and started to run towards him again. He kept dodging me as I tried to go in for multiple barrages of punches. Every single punch did not hit!

"Better can you!" he said as he was dodging my punches.

"URGH!" I growled.

I in an instant leaped towards him and hit him with a kick on his gut. He quickly jumped back and got a good distance between me.

"FIGHT BACK!" I shouted.

He suddenly disappeared right after I shouted. Perfect! I know this attack. I held my arms tight to my body and guarded myself and turned behind me. He appeared and kicked me, but I had my guard up!

"TAKE THIS!" I screamed and punched him in the stomach.

He grabbed my hand tightly and threw my whole body away! I hit a pillar and fell to the ground.

"You're losing!" he said.

I slowly started to stand up again.

"I..I'm n-not!" I stuttered as I tried to stand up again.

I had lots of bruises on my body, I was bleeding a lot. However, I still put up my guard again.

"I-I'm not giving up!" I said and stared into him again.

He disappeared again! Shit, I don't know how many of these punches I can take anymore.

"JIWOO! YOU HAVE TO FOCUS!" Karl screamed.

I held my guard up while still trying to focus on Karl. He appeared again and tried to punch me, but hit my guard instead. He jumped back quickly back to the same distance, all while Karl was still going to finish talking.

"YOU HAVE TO FOCUS YOUR SPIRITUAL ENERGY TO YOUR HA-" he said before he got cut off.

"STOP CHIT-CHATTING" he shouted.

It was the first time I heard the King shout.

"WE'RE HAVING A FIGHT.." he continued to shout and disappeared again.

He suddenly appeared behind me and kicked me on my knees so that I fell to the ground.

"A FIGHT HAS NO TIME FOR TALK!" he finished shouting.

"Shit..!" I said as I crumbled on the ground.

"JIWOO!!" Karl shouted again.

Is this..? Is this the end for me?

I tried to get up, but he kept kicking me on my back. Each kick was more powerful than the one before!

"HUH? A REAL FIGHT?!" the King kept shouting.

Focus.. Jiwoo. Spiritual pressure, focus it! But how?! How do I focus my pressure on my hands?! He kept kicking me, I could feel how my sense of feeling on my back was slowly fading. Focus Jiwoo..!

"JIW-" Karl shouted but stopped.

Suddenly, I stopped receiving kicks on the back. I heard how he quickly jumped away, I tried to look up to see where he went.

"U-U-Unbelievable!!" Karl said.

"This isn't normal..!" the King said from a distance.

I looked at my hands, they were..

"Glowing?!" I said out loud.

Suddenly they stopped glowing, but they were glowing for a couple of seconds! It made the whole building lighter as there were no light sources but the street lamps and the moon outside.

"It should take several years to be able to do it, but you..!" the King said.

"B-But what.." I said.

"Jiwoo! When someone focuses their spiritual pressure into a certain body part, it starts to glow in a blue light, that is the spiritual pressure's light!" Karl said behind the pillar he was using to hide.

"That was.. My spiritual pressure?" I mumbled to myself and kept staring at my hands.

"A normal person should take 2 or more years to be able to master this, but you were able to do it in a couple of minutes!" Karl added.

I started to stand up again, I kept looking at the King.

"BE READY! I'll be the one claiming that king title of yours!" I shouted and pointed at him.

He was laughing, but it was clear a nervous laugh.

"You? A King? Do you know why they.." he said and disappeared.

I quickly held up my guard, he appeared behind me but pushed me to the ground.

"..Call me the Eagle King?!" he shouted.

I rolled away and quickly got up. He disappeared again, this time I didn't know where he went. I kept looking around.

"I'll show you my real powers!" he said from the same platform he was standing when I first went into the construction building!

"W-W.." I stuttered.

I could barely see from the darkness, but his face was slowly morphing. The spiritual pressure rose drastically! I could barely keep myself up!

"BEWARE JIWOO, TO SEE THE REAL EAGLE!!" he said and started screaming!
