Boom!
Slamming his back into a wall, Yuji immediately threw himself to one side to escape a kick.
"That strength!"
Blocking a kick aimed at his face, he tried to retreat, but a crazed Choyun just pursued him while hitting him with dozens of attacks.
"That speed!"
Holding Choyun's wrist, Yuji tried to manipulate his flow of power, but a well-placed knee to his chin pushed him back, blood flying from his nose as he raised his guard.
"It's incredible!"
Advancing, Choyun shattered Yuji's defense as he grabbed his throat, a supernatural glow appearing on his arm, only for him to be pushed away by a kick to his stomach.
"It's no use!" With a smile appearing on his lips, Choyun turned to attack again, but a kick to his face forced him to retreat.
'Shit... This guy's techniques are too weird.'
While the difference in strength between the two was one rank, this turned out not to be such a problem for Yuji, after all, he had already faced countless opponents stronger than him.
But what made Choyun a strange opponent to face was his strange techniques. There was nothing very special about his style, but the way he changed during combat was difficult to predict.
The man didn't even need to get into any kind of stance to use boxing and taekwondo techniques, but only worried about attacking constantly.
It was as if he was using a skill in a video game, where he could use it in the midst of simple attacks.
!
Blocking a punch with his forearms, Yuji felt his body tremble, his eyes widening as a bolt of pain shot through every muscle in his body.
[Attack Card]
[Internal Damage: When used, the user's blows are able to overcome their opponent's defense.]
[Duration: 30 seconds]
With a dangerous smile appearing on his lips, Choyun punched again, Yuji clenching his teeth as that strange pain hit him again.
Seeing his opponent retreat, Choyun exploded towards him, Yuji immediately lowering his defense to block a punch aimed at his ribs.
Boom!
Spitting blood when the attack hit his forearm, Yuji clearly felt as if his organs had been directly hit.
'Son of a bitch.'
Preparing to attack once more, Choyun's eyes widened as a fist appeared in front of his eyes, hitting his face with enough force to send him into a wall.
"That's enough." Wiping the blood from his lips, Yuji slowly started walking towards Choyun, who was already recovering from the attack. "You've annoyed me enough."
Turning to face Yuji, Choyun felt danger explode beside him, immediately jumping up to escape his opponent's palm, which grazed his shoulder lightly.
But as Choyun hoped to have escaped danger, a bolt of pain exploded on the right side of his body, his eyes filling with disbelief as he turned to see a part of his flesh twisted.
"I'm going to kill you now."
Turning to face forward, Choyun's eyes widened when a palm appeared in front of his face, his eyes, previously filled with dread, filling with pride when he saw his opponent's hand standing right in front of him.
[Trigger Card]
[Exhaustion: When the user has accumulated 20 hits, the opponent hit will be paralyzed for 10 seconds. This card has a cooldown of 1 day]
Veins appeared on Yuji's forehead as he struggled to move, his eyes filling with fury as Choyun stood up with a disdainful smile.
"Kill me? That's not going to happen."
Stopping centimeters away from Yuji, Choyun slowly moved his hand towards his neck, his expression darkening as his murderous aura leaked uncontrollably from his body.
"You're the one who dies today."
[Ding!]
[The System has finished adapting. The effects of the invading system have become completely ineffective]
[The Host has recovered its battle capabilities]
Boom!
The instant Yuji regained the movement of his body, he immediately attacked Choyun with a punch, his fist smashing into his ribcage as he sent him across the room like a bullet, his body colliding with the wall with enough force to go through it.
With Choyun falling from the top floor of the school, Yuji immediately reached him in mid-air and grabbed his jaw, crushing it the instant they both hit the ground.
"I would have won easily if I'd gone all out."
Putting his foot on the defeated Choyun's face, Yuji spat out a mouthful of blood.
"But it wouldn't have been as much fun."
Crouching down next to Choyun, Yuji looked at him curiously when something suddenly appeared in his hand.
"What's that?"
Taking the item from Choyun's hands to his chagrin, Yuji analyzed what appeared to be a bright green bean, his eyes narrowing as he sniffed it for a moment before putting it in his mouth.
!
Feeling his wounds disappear, Yuji's eyes widened in surprise.
"I see... Your system is really quite different from mine, I'd say even better."
But as Choyun struggled to breathe, Yuji just held him by the throat, lifting him up at once while scratching his chin with his free hand.
"So... Is there any way I can extract this from you?"
[Ding!]
[The System noticed your victory over another system user!]
[The system stole the style of the invading system]
[The system blocked the presence of a deity]
[Would the Host like to assimilate the system completely?]
Yuji hummed for a moment and threw Choyun to the ground.
'Divinity? Boy... That's a bit scary. What if I'm cursed or something?'
Looking at the window in front of him, Yuji rubbed his chin in doubt.
While his system provided everything he needed, a supernatural system didn't seem at all unpleasant. It would help him grow stronger more quickly and even reach heights never reached by humans.
"..."
Smiling slightly, Yuji moved his hand towards that system window.
"Nah!"
Closing the window without a second thought, he sighed.
In the end, he didn't want to make his life any more boring. He wanted strength, but making it even easier would only leave him with a bad taste in his mouth.
He liked to push himself to improve, and besides, the last thing he wanted was to be given missions.
Seeing Choyun stop breathing, Yuji raised an eyebrow.
He could hear the man's heart stopping all at once, which was a warning in itself.
'Maybe a penalty?'
Even though he was extremely injured, Choyun was not at risk of death. His heart stopping so suddenly was strange, especially considering that his body hadn't given a single sign of cardiac arrest.
'I think I was right to deny assimilation.'
