[HP : 6/10]
"Is this my golden finger?" Jarvis stared in awe by the prompts on the man's head. Trying to understand what happened.
"B*st*rd, I'll get you back for thi— arrgh." Before the man could finish he's sentence jarvis had thrown a jab at his already broken nose.
[–2]
[HP : 4/10]
"Haha, it really is a golden finger,"Jarvis laughed internally.
"B*tch," the man cursed out again, holding his broken nose in place, blood spurting out of the gaps. "I'll kill you," the man suddenly reached inside his jacket and brought out a fruit knife and lunged at jarvis.
"Hehe, you wish." Jarvis threw three jabs with quick speed and precision, striking the man's shoulder, forcing him to stagger back. The grip on the knife loosening.
A series of minus one quickly popped out above the man's head.
[HP : 1/10]
"Just one more hit should do it. If I get one more hit in, it'll be over," jarvis eyes scrutinised the man looking for possible gaps to take advantage of.
"Son of a b*t*h" the man lunged at jarvis trying to push him down but jarvis wasn't to be outdone he raised his elbow high up and then struck the man's back with he's body weight.
The man's eyes blurred, his sight becoming hazy as they rolled up. He fell head first to the ground. "I'll get you for this" he's outstretched hand landed on the ground. The man unwillingly closed his eyes.
Suddenly, another round of prompts came up.

Jarvis felt a surge throughout he's whole body, power coursing through him, all he's fatigue from the movements were gone. "Is this what it means by level up, I feel like I'm overflowing with energy,"
"B*st*rd what did you do with Bruno" The skinny man shouted out of rage, charging at Jarvis. "Andrew help me out,"
"Okay," the deep voice of the muscular man boomed. Before syncing with the skinny man again.
The skinny man moved first, and his crowbar turned into a blur as he aimed at Jarvis's ribs.
"How is he so slow?" In Jarvis's eyes, the skinny man was way slower than he had been previously. Jarvis sidestepped the blow with ease. His movement was fluid almost considered effortless, as if his body was responding to some intangible command.
"We're not done with you yet, kid," the muscular man followed, closely swinging a powerful fist aimed at Jarvis's head.
"You guys team work is too stressful to deal with" Jarvis ducked under the blow, barely dodging the fist, the wind from the blow scattering he's hair.
"Time to have a taste of your own medicine" Jarvis quickly countered with a swift uppercut.
Crack!
A crisp sound was heard as soon as Jarvis fist and the man's jaw connected. Feeling the satisfying crunch of impact, jarvis subconsciously looked up.
[Crit! –15]
[HP: 15/30]
"Huh a critical, how do you have so much HP big man" Jarvis stared at the prompts suspiciously.
The muscular man staggered back then fell to his knees, spitting out blood from his mouth."I'll get you for this. You're damned b*tc—."
Before the muscular man could finish he's sentence Jarvis threw another kick in his face point blank,
[Crit–9]
[HP : 6/30]
Seeing the prompts, Jarvis smiled, "It's time for a change in target." He pivoted, turning his attention to the skinny man who was recovering from his missed attack.
Jarvis launched three lightning-fast kicks aiming for the man's thigh, torso, and head respectively, each landing on their targets.
Pah! Pah! Pah!
On the third kick the skinny man twisted in the air before sprawling on the floor, some of his teeth littered near him.
[–2]
[–3]
[–6]
[HP : 4/15]
Jarvis pressed his advantage to the fullest, he moved like a snake, his strikes precise and relentless. The skinny man scrambled on his feet in a sorry state, before he could even hold his crowbar Jarvis was already upon him.
He delivered a punch to the man's temple, Jarvis stood, watching as his opponent as he crumbled on to the ground.
[–2]
[HP :2/15]
Meanwhile, the muscular man had recovered, his twisted with anger and determination. "I'll crush you, I'll crush you. JARVIS!!" He shouted as he charged with ferocity, his fist flying in a flurry of powerful blows.
But Jarvis wasn't to be outdone with his enhanced speed and agility attribute, he danced around each attack, sometimes countering with his own punishing strikes.
"It's time to end this." Jarvis changed his stance and struck the man's solar plexus, knocking the wind out of him. The man gasped for breath, his knees gave out again as he sank to the ground.
Jarvis did not even check the prompts before turning his attention back to the skinny man, who was still trying to stand up. With a swift and final kick to the face, he sent the man sprawling once more, this time for good.
The room fell silent. The only sound was the ragged breathing of Jarvis and the unconscious men in oni mask. He stood there for a moment, he's chest heaving, he's adrenaline wearing out.
Jarvis felt his sight becoming blurry as if he was about to slump, but suddenly a flurry of prompts came up

All of a sudden Jarvis felt a surge of strength far greater than before, his fatigue had been completely cleared out even the bruises he gained from the fight had healed.
"How could I forget, the golden finger heals me everything I level up" Jarvis stood straight up looking at the men on the floor.
"I told Marco I won't be safe alone, well lets tie them up." Jarvis said as he gathered the unconscious men to a corner of the room.
"Not only did they attack me and my mum, even putting her in the hospital, now they want to kill me as well"Jarvis eyes flashed with anger.
"When they wake up I'll have to get information from them myself and this time it'll be dreadful"
