Their punches were blocked by Celsi, using only one hand for each of them.
Aswa and Arca then followed up with side kicks—Aswa kicking from the left, while Arca kicked from the right.
Bhuakk!
Their attacks missed Celsi and instead struck each other. Celsi took advantage of the situation, standing between their legs before performing a backflip to create some distance.
However, Aswa and Arca didn't allow that to happen. They immediately rushed toward Celsi again. This time, they clashed using their own techniques.
Punches and kicks were exchanged in a fierce battle. Aswa and Arca unleashed relentless attacks, searching for an opening, but Celsi still dominated the fight, blocking all their strikes.
Aswa clung to Arca's body, using him as a pole to spin around and deliver a kick.
Celsi looked slightly surprised—it seemed she wasn't used to their combination attacks yet.
Even so, she easily dodged their moves.
Aswa and Arca adjusted their strategy. This time, their attacks were less aggressive, changing their rhythm.
Aswa grabbed Celsi's head and pulled it toward him while raising his knee for a strike.
Bhuakk!
Celsi blocked the attack. She had already figured out their strategy and was merely testing them. She took advantage of the moment and struck Aswa's head.
Bhuakk!
Her punch landed cleanly, sending Aswa flying backward.
Before he could be flung too far, Celsi was surprised to see Arca already in front of her. He had been running behind Aswa to stay out of sight. Aswa's body became a distraction, allowing Arca to attack.
Arca threw a straight punch at Celsi.
Bhuakk!
Celsi dodged by tilting her body and struck Arca's elbow, sending him flying into the air.
Aswa, who was just getting back up, had a bruised face. But before he could react, Arca, who had been launched into the air, crashed onto him.
Celsi seized the opportunity to move quickly.
Bhuakk!
She struck Arca, and the impact also hit Aswa behind him. The force sent them both flying even further, crashing through the school wall.
They tumbled into a classroom. Celsi stepped inside—the room was silent.
Wosssh!
Aswa kicked a desk toward Celsi.
She easily shattered it, but it was just a distraction. Arca then swung a chair at Celsi, but the chair broke upon impact with her body.
Arca froze for a moment, realizing Celsi's sheer physical strength.
Bhuakk!
Aswa kicked Celsi in the stomach, sending her flying out of the classroom. Aswa didn't want to waste the opportunity—right after getting hit, he sprinted toward Celsi before she could react.
"Tch, don't let your guard down!" Aswa smirked.
"I was just a little surprised," Arca replied, slapping his cheeks to refocus.
They stepped back outside.
Plak-Plak-Plak!
The sound of their footsteps splashing through the puddles echoed as Aswa and Arca charged at Celsi again.
They launched relentless attacks, punches, kicks, and techniques one after another. The battle grew more intense, with neither side backing down. Despite missing most of their attacks, Aswa and Arca grinned, enjoying the fight.
Celsi, too, seemed to be having fun, dodging their attacks.
But this time, she no longer held back—she started launching her own flurry of attacks.
Bhuakk! Bhuakk! Bhuakk!
Aswa and Arca didn't care if they got hit.
Bhuakk! Bhuakk! Bhuakk!
Bhuakk! Bhuakk! Bhuakk!
Bhuakk! Bhuakk!
Bhuakk!
Until finally, Aswa landed a punch on Celsi's face, and Arca's fist connected with her stomach. However...
They had exhausted all their energy. The blows they landed had no strength left in them. The two collapsed to the ground, smiling despite their exhaustion.
Seeing them like that, Celsi deliberately let herself fall too. The three of them lay in a circle, smiling at each other.
The rain had stopped, leaving behind a bright sun that illuminated their faces.
"What's the reason you guys fight?" Celsi asked, curious.
"Me? Well, it's because I'm the weakest in my family," Aswa answered.
"Yeah, same here," Arca added.
"In that case, I'll join you. How about it?" Celsi smirked.
"No way. If the strongest joins us, then you'll—" Aswa started.
Celsi cut him off.
"Don't worry, you'll still be the leader. I'll just be a member."
"There's no such thing in my team. One leader, and the rest are friends. Haha!" Aswa laughed.
