As the ferocity of battle intensified, Haruka's incredibly fast movements propelled him forward, his lethal intent palpable in the air as he closed in on Hikari with deadly precision. With a swift and calculated motion, he aimed a devastating blow towards her, intending to strike her with the full force of his power. However, Hikari, ever the vigilant combatant, reacted with ridiculous speed, her instincts honed by years of rigorous training and experience.
In a breathtaking display of skill and agility, Hikari deftly sidestepped Haruka's attack, her movements fluid and graceful as she expertly redirected his blow with precision. With impeccable timing, she retaliated with a swift jab aimed squarely at his stomach, her strike infused with her own formidable strength.
To Haruka's credit, he remained unfazed by Hikari's counterattack, his steely resolve unwavering in the face of adversity. Instead of recoiling from her blow, he simply acknowledged her skill with a nod of approval, recognizing her prowess as a worthy adversary. "Great, you've still got it," he remarked, his voice laced with a hint of admiration for her combat prowess.
Undeterred by Hikari's initial strike, Haruka pressed forward, his movements fluid and relentless as he launched another powerful attack towards her. This time, he aimed a body uppercut squarely at her stomach, his blow fueled by a decent extent of his strength and speed.
Despite the force of Haruka's assault, Hikari stood her ground, her resolve unyielding as she absorbed the impact of his blow with unwavering determination. Pushed back by the sheer force of his attack, she gritted her teeth against the pain, her focus unbroken even in the face of adversity.
In a moment of introspection amidst the chaos of battle, Hikari couldn't help but reflect on the dynamic between herself and Haruka, a bond forged in the crucible of combat. "Beautiful and strong... Just like you were when we first met," she remarked, her words tinged with a sense of nostalgia for the battles they had fought together.
However, Ryouichi, ever the pragmatic realist, couldn't help but interject with a dose of reality, his words cutting through the tension with blunt honesty. "You fought against each other no more than two, max three weeks ago," he pointed out, his tone tinged with a hint of exasperation at their tendency to romanticize their past encounters.
Unwilling to dwell on the trivialities of the past, Hikari brushed off Ryouichi's comment with a dismissive wave of her hand, her focus squarely fixed on the present confrontation with Haruka. "Shut up,"
As the tension between Haruka and Hikari continued to escalate, their verbal exchange mirrored the intensity of their ongoing battle. Haruka, ever the strategic thinker, sought to divert Hikari's attention by suggesting a more formidable opponent. "A better fight for you would be against Akuma no Seishin," he proposed, his tone laced with a hint of challenge.
Unfazed by Haruka's attempt to sway her focus, Hikari remained resolute in her determination to face him head-on. "No, you're my perfect fit," she countered, her voice carrying a note of unwavering confidence in her abilities.
Meanwhile, Sakura, ever the voice of reason amidst the chaos of battle, couldn't help but interject with a pragmatic observation. "You never think in terms of fighting, do you?" she remarked, her words tinged with a hint of exasperation at their singular focus on combat.
In response to Sakura's comment, Hikari reaffirmed her commitment to the fight, her unwavering determination shining through in her words. "I do," she asserted, her conviction unwavering as she remained steadfast in her resolve to emerge victorious.
While the verbal sparring continued between Haruka and Hikari, Haruka's mind wandered to potential threats beyond their immediate confrontation. In a moment of strategic contemplation, he considered the implications of facing Yuki, a formidable opponent in her own right.
Haruka's gaze hardened as he formulated a plan of attack, his mind calculating the best course of action to neutralize his adversaries. With swift and decisive action, he launched himself towards Yuki, his movements fueled by a fierce determination to gain the upper hand in the battle.
However, Yuki proved to be more than prepared for Haruka's assault, her quick reflexes allowing her to evade his attack with ease. With a deft teleportation maneuver, she managed to elude his grasp, leaving Haruka to grapple with the frustration of her evasive tactics.
Unfazed by Haruka's failed attempt to catch her off guard, Yuki remained composed as she calmly addressed his taunts. "I'm not falling for that! We all passed through rigorous training in the last week, and let me reassure you, it was not just a week," she retorted, her voice laced with a steely resolve born of rigorous training and unwavering determination.
In the face of Yuki's unwavering resolve, Haruka couldn't help but admire her tenacity, even as he remained determined to emerge victorious. "Hm, so, a place where time passes slower on the outside but normally in the inside? Haha, that's a cheap trick," he remarked, his words tinged with a hint of grudging admiration for her resourcefulness.
Yet, even as Yuki remained steadfast in her defense, Haruka refused to concede defeat, his resolve unshaken as he prepared to face whatever challenges lay ahead. "It has paid off," Yuki asserted, her voice steady as she met Haruka's gaze with unwavering determination.
In the midst of their verbal sparring, Haruka remained focused on his ultimate goal, his mind racing with thoughts of strategy and tactics as he sought to gain the upper hand in the ongoing battle. "No, not really," he countered, his voice laced with a quiet confidence in his own abilities as he prepared for the challenges that lay ahead.
As the battle raged on between Enishi, Ayame, Shin, and Kaito, the intensity of their clashes only seemed to escalate with each passing moment. Kaito, struggling to evade Ayame's relentless assault, found himself hurtling through the air as her powerful blow sent shockwaves reverberating through the battlefield.
With a resounding crash, Kaito collided with the unforgiving terrain, the impact jolting him to his core as he fought to regain his bearings amidst the chaos of the ongoing confrontation. Despite the pain coursing through his body, his thoughts immediately turned to Shin, his trusted ally in this harrowing struggle.
"SHIN!!!" Kaito's voice echoed across the battlefield, a desperate plea for aid as he watched helplessly from his prone position. However, Shin, consumed by the heat of battle, failed to register Kaito's cry in time, leaving him vulnerable to Ayame's ruthless onslaught.
As Ayame launched a blistering assault from behind, catching Shin off guard, he found himself propelled towards Enishi, who wasted no time in capitalizing on the opportunity presented to him. With ridiculously fast reflexes, Enishi delivered a devastating kick to Shin's face, the force of the blow sending him hurtling towards the ground with bone-crushing force.
The impact reverberated through Shin's entire being, sending shockwaves of agony coursing through his battered form as he struggled to rise from the ground. Meanwhile, Ayame, ever the loyal companion to Enishi, offered words of camaraderie and unity amidst the chaos of battle.
"We're fit for working together, Enishi," Ayame declared, her voice tinged with a hint of satisfaction at their combined prowess on the battlefield.
