Chapter 16 - Joglo High School [6]

[IN THE TOILET]

Aswa was not there. It turned out that the toilet had eight stalls. The fat man checked each door one by one, and at the last door…

He heard the sound of someone relieving themselves.

"So you're hiding in there, huh?"

Hearing that, the fat man walked slowly toward the door.

Then, right in front of it, he swiftly kicked the door open, breaking the lock, and launched a straight kick forward.

BHUAKK CRAKK

But the one he hit was not Aswa—it was a student from SMA Joglo, now stuck in a hole in the wall, completely unconscious.

Seeing this, the fat man panicked. He immediately rushed outside.

Just as he reached the exit—

BHUAKK

Aswa delivered a sidekick.

The fat man was sent flying.

"What a shame. You seemed like a nice guy, but you're on the wrong side," Aswa said with a sad expression.

The fat man slowly got back up, slightly dizzy.

"I take back what I said… You've really grown," he admitted.

"Of course! Now, tell me your name, kind-hearted villain."

"Bayu. My name is Bayu."

Then, Bayu rushed toward Aswa, preparing a punch. But Aswa dodged it with ease.

"Gotcha!"

Bayu grabbed Aswa's right hand.

Aswa smirked. He pulled his arm back, grabbed Bayu's wrist, threw him off balance, and struck his chin.

BHUAKK

Bayu groaned in pain, but it wasn't over yet.

BHUAKK

Aswa kicked one of Bayu's legs, causing him to fall backward. Then, Aswa jumped and spun midair.

BHUAKK AGHH

A spinning kick landed, knocking Bayu out cold. His eyes rolled back, and foam formed at his mouth.

"Damn it, you guys are really pissing me off!"

Aswa, now visibly angry, walked back toward the warehouse.

[BACK AT THE WAREHOUSE]

Arca leaped toward Yud and—

BHUAKK KREKKK

Arca launched an upward kick.

Yud blocked it, but the ground beneath him cracked.

Arca then flipped backward, gaining distance before sprinting toward Yud.

Yud was stuck in the cracked ground, unable to move as Arca approached.

WOSHHH

Arca swung a sidekick.

Yud dodged by leaning his body backward.

But then—

WOSSHH

Arca followed up with a back kick aimed at Yud's legs.

Seeing this, Yud quickly pulled his legs free and jumped away.

WOSSHH

Now free, Yud decided to retreat.

"Phew… I barely escaped," Yud thought to himself, feeling a strange sensation.

"What the hell was that? My instincts were acting up while fighting him…" he murmured.

"Oh, so you managed to break free, huh?" Arca said casually.

Arca charged at Yud again, throwing a straight punch.

BHUAKK

Yud blocked with his left arm, then locked Arca's arm and attempted to throw him over his shoulder.

BHUAKK KREKK

Arca was slammed into the ground, cracking it further.

Knowing the fight wasn't over, Yud quickly stepped back.

"Hmm… Not bad," Arca said as he got back up, seemingly unharmed.

"S-So this is all you've got?!" Yud said, smiling, though uncertainty lingered in his voice.

"If I had been there, maybe you wouldn't have become the leader."

Arca, who had been calm, now looked provoked.

"I was holding back so it wouldn't be like last time!"

Arca attacked again, spinning his right leg for a roundhouse kick aimed at Yud.

Yud attempted to dodge by stepping back, preparing to counter. Arca's kick missed—

But then—

From behind, Aswa suddenly rushed in and delivered a straight kick to Yud's torso.

Yud, caught off guard while dodging Arca, couldn't fully avoid the attack.

Yud retaliated with a spinning kick using his left leg.

Aswa leaped into the air, executing an acrobatic spinning kick.

BHUAKK

The combined attack from Aswa and Arca sent Yud flying, knocking him out cold.
