Ha Joon's subordinate, an athletic physique and determined-looking student, stepped forward. With a smug grin, he gave Jin Hwa a hard shove, sending him stumbling back a few steps.
"Come on, hero, show us what you're made of," the student taunted, a cruel glint in his eyes.
Jin Hwa steadied himself, his fists clenched at his sides. He couldn't help but think, *This is a piece of cake compared to the Minotaur.*
As the first punch came his way, Jin Hwa instinctively ducked, avoiding the blow.
In response, he threw a quick jab at his opponent's stomach, landing a solid hit.
The student grunted in pain but retaliated with a wild haymaker. Jin Hwa sidestepped it, narrowly evading the swing.
The fight continued with a flurry of punches and dodges. Jin Hwa's movements were swift and precise, a testament to his growing confidence. He parried a left hook, blocked a jab, and countered with a series of punches that caught his opponent off guard.
The rooftop became a makeshift boxing ring, and the other third-year students watched in stunned silence as Jin Hwa demonstrated his newfound prowess. It was a fierce and heated battle, but Jin Hwa held his own, remembering his fight against the Minotaur and drawing strength from that experience.
Finally, with a well-timed uppercut, Jin Hwa landed a solid blow that sent his opponent reeling. The fight ended abruptly as the student stumbled backward, crashing into a stack of crates, dazed and defeated.
Jin Hwa stood there, with a clenched fist, a victorious but measured look in his eyes. He had shown his mettle, and there was no doubt now that he was not to be trifled with.
In a tense moment on the rooftop, as Ha Joon ordered his subordinates to gang up on Jin Hwa, Jin Hwa found himself outnumbered. He weighed his options, realizing he needed a strategy to handle this sudden escalation.
Thoughts raced through his mind as he assessed the situation. Ganging up on him was dangerous, and he needed to focus on defense. He decided to stay light on his feet, using his agility to avoid their strikes. He would aim to block and counter, making each of their moves work against them.
The group of third-year students approached, each with a determined look, ready to take him down. As they lunged, Jin Hwa dodged, stepping aside and blocking their attacks. His movements were swift and precise, as he used their numbers against them.
The gang of students began to realize that their attacks were backfiring, and Jin Hwa's defense was more effective than they anticipated. Frustration grew among them, but Jin Hwa remained focused and determined.
With a series of calculated maneuvers and well-timed counters, Jin Hwa managed to subdue a few of the students, leaving the others hesitating. The tide of the fight began to shift as the gang realized that taking on Jin Hwa wasn't as easy as they thought.
As Jin Hwa faced off against the remaining students, one of them, a significant troublemaker, spotted a makeshift weapon on the rooftop. With a sly grin, he picked it up, holding it menacingly as he charged at Jin Hwa.
The student swung the improvised weapon with threatening intent, aiming to intimidate Jin Hwa. It came dangerously close, leaving a small scratch on Jin Hwa's arm.
"Tsk"
However, Jin Hwa remained unfazed. With a stern look, he addressed the student. "Is that all you've got? You'll need more than that to stop me."
Despite Jin Hwa's calm response, the student couldn't shake the feeling of unease. He continued to taunt, "You think you're tough just because you took down that Minotaur? Let's see if you can handle—" Before he could finish his sentence, Jin Hwa swiftly interrupted with a heavy punch to his face.
Their fight raged on, and Jin Hwa quickly took down the other students, leaving only Ha Joon.
Ha Joon, though a bit fearful deep down because of the ominous aura revolving jin hwa, but he stood his ground, ready to confront Jin Hwa.
