As Hikari joins the unfolding drama on the battlefield, her whimsical demeanor contrasts sharply with the seriousness of the situation. Addressing the regal presence of both parties, she remarks, "Majestic people against majestic people, the inevitable has happened, hm?" Her comment, a blend of nonchalance and acknowledgment, adds a touch of surrealism to the impending clash.
Sakura, who usually bears the weight of responsibility in the group, urges Hikari to focus on the imminent threat, "Could you stop joking about it and do something?" Hikari, true to her carefree nature, responds with a playful, "... No." Her reluctance to conform to the gravity of the situation echoes a sentiment that hints at an unconventional approach to combat.
In the background, Ryouichi, having managed to heal himself to some extent, rises to his feet. The bruises have faded, but the toll of the battle is evident. Kaito, however, remains grounded, still recovering from the previous onslaught. Hikari, seemingly unburdened by the intensity of the impending confrontation, jests, "Is it time for the show to start yet?" Her casual attitude prompts a response from Haruka, who appreciates her mentality, "I like your mentality." Hikari, ever the provocateur, playfully retorts, "Is that a confession?" Her banter adds a layer of lightheartedness to the grim atmosphere.
Meanwhile, Enishi, the silent strategist of the duo, ponders something to himself. His introspective silence suggests a deeper consideration of the unfolding dynamics. Haruka, ever confident in their abilities, asserts, "None of you stand a chance against us." His declaration, delivered with unwavering certainty, echoes across the battlefield, setting the stage for a confrontation that promises to unravel the depths of each participant's strength and resilience.
In the midst of the brewing conflict, Hikari, ever the inquisitive spirit, directs a question toward Haruka, "What are your motives for being evil anyway?" A query that delves into the depths of their intentions and sheds light on the enigmatic duo's purpose. Haruka, poised to respond, finds himself momentarily halted by Enishi's abrupt intervention.
Enishi, the silent force orchestrating the strategic maneuvers, points one of his arms towards Hikari, an ominous warning in his gesture. Sensing an impending threat, Hikari instinctively moves to her left, narrowly evading a devastating attack. A colossal slash, both in height and width, cleaves through the terrain with ruthless precision. The aftermath leaves a conspicuous scar on the ground, a testament to the destructive potential wielded by Enishi.
As Hikari gracefully dodges the onslaught, Enishi, unfazed by the outcome, muses, "Perhaps, I should have used a bigger one." His nonchalant acknowledgment of the destructive power he wields adds an eerie quality to his character. Meanwhile, Hikari, undeterred by the threat, interjects with a teasing inquiry, "Don't you like beautiful girls?" A playful remark that injects a momentary respite into the tension-laden atmosphere.
Ryouichi, catching the conversation, questions Hikari, "Is that your only concern?" The dynamics of the group's interactions, ranging from curiosity to skepticism, paint a complex picture of their interpersonal relationships. Sakura, silently observing Enishi's prowess, muses to herself, "Just how more impressive can Enishi get...?" The unfolding events deepen the mystery surrounding the true extent of Enishi's capabilities.
Amidst the chaos, Kaito, bearing the brunt of previous injuries, appeals for assistance, "Can someone heal me..?" Enishi, ever the pragmatic observer, remarks, "Your knowledge of the Enes is significantly worse than what I originally thought." A statement that underscores the vast difference in mastery between the opposing forces.
Haruka, shaking his head, offers a perspective on the unfolding situation, "Their potential is great, though." The acknowledgment of the adversaries' latent strength hints at a recognition of the challenges that lie ahead, setting the stage for a battle that transcends the physical and delves into the depths of each individual's capabilities.
In the midst of the escalating confrontation, Hikari, with her characteristic flair, decides to put something to the test. She announces, "Time to put something to test, then. I'll go easy just to test something." With a burst of astonishing speed, she accelerates to 53,990,000 km/h, a considerable fraction of the Speed of Light, making her move toward Haruka.
However, Haruka, the seasoned combatant, effortlessly outpaces her. Recalling his previous display where he moved at a tenth of the Speed of Light, Haruka executes a swift maneuver, dashing to his left at an astonishing 110,800,000 km/h. The difference in their velocities becomes starkly apparent as Haruka positions himself strategically.
As Hikari attempts to close the distance and launch an attack, Haruka displays his agility and experience. He smoothly counters her assault, landing a jab followed by a left hook to her body. Before he can execute a right uppercut, Hikari, quick on her feet, steps back diagonally, evading the potential blow to her face. The dance of combat intensifies as Hikari retaliates, aiming a straight punch at Haruka's face.
Haruka, unwavering, skillfully blocks the incoming attack. Seizing the opportunity, Hikari swiftly launches a jab to his body. In a seamless display of defensive prowess, Haruka employs his right arm to block the jab and instantly counters with a quick straight right. Hikari, undeterred, slips to the outside of the straight right, attempting to counter with an uppercut to his body.
In a masterful display of martial finesse, Haruka parries the incoming uppercut, redirecting it away from his body. Seizing the moment, he counters with a hook from his rear hand, targeting Hikari's head. This time, Hikari, unable to defend, succumbs to the blow, getting propelled several meters away.
The intricate exchange showcases not only their extraordinary speed but also the refined skill set possessed by both combatants. Each move, block, and counter unfolds with precision, creating a dynamic spectacle that leaves an indelible mark on the unfolding battle.
Ryouichi, standing amidst the aftermath of the breathtaking hand-to-hand combat between Haruka and Hikari, can't help but express his admiration, "Incredible..." His voice carries a mixture of awe and acknowledgment for the martial prowess on display.
Sakura, with her keen eye for combat techniques, chimes in, "They both are great at martial arts." Her assessment encapsulates the complexity and skill embedded in every move and countermove, highlighting the true artistry of their confrontation.
Aria, still processing the intense exchange, remains silent. The sheer spectacle of the battle has left an indelible impression on her, a testament to the remarkable skills of the combatants engaged in this high-stakes encounter.
Yuki, offering insight into Haruka's abilities, comments, "Of course, Haruka is incredibly fast and is also an expert in hand-to-hand combat." Yet, her tone holds a tinge of concern or perhaps frustration, hinting at the challenge posed by such formidable adversaries.
As the dust settles, Hikari, undeterred and seemingly eager for more, declares, "Time for round 2, don't you agree, Haruka?" Haruka responds with a simple yet enigmatic smile, a non-verbal acknowledgment of the impending continuation of their intense confrontation.
