She moves her head lightly as she begins to open her eyes, a bright light at the ceiling as she sits up and rubs her eyes. After her eyes finish readjusting Asuka stops to look at her wrist, she saw bandages wrapped around her wrist slightly soaked in blood as her hoodie was placed on the chair nearby.
How did I get here…?
She got up from her medical bed as she took a step out of the tent and heard some cheering not too far from where she was. The Event is still happening…? She takes her time walking back to where the event is being held.
At the battle arena, Ayameko was forced to block as she grunts a little slipping as she takes a couple steps back, glaring at the student as they blitzed towards her, giving no time to breathe. BAM!! Ayameko took a gut punch as she felt the impact reverberate. Ayameko flops onto her stomach as she clenches it in agonizing pain.
Ayameko clenches the ground as she felt her hair being grabbed as the student held her by her ponytail. BAM!!! She felt another punch in on her stomach as her manifestation lunged out of her shadow as they smirked, their hand grasping onto the shadow's face as its suddenly absorbed into their hand.
Her eyes widened as she felt her marking glow and rapidly spread up along her neck. Another shadow suddenly jumped out as the student was forced to let go as their attention was turned to her shadow. Unlike the last one, this one was bulkier, wider, and significantly stronger.
What the hell is this thing!
The students tried to hold them back as they started to feel the grip of the shadow to crush their arms as she cried out in pain, it then let's go as Ayameko tackled them to the ground, full mounting as she began pummeling into them.
However, Kimura squints a little harder watching the fight, noticing something suddenly off about Ayameko as she pummels them more. Ayameko had a sinister grin spread across her face as her hits became harder and heavier.
Each hit became bloodier and bloodier as the student covers their face, shouting "I YIELD I YIELD!!!" tears coming out as Ayameko seemingly didn't care. "Oh darling…That person isn't here in the moment…" Ayameko suddenly talked, her voice was slightly deeper as she punches harder.
Her left eye was suddenly black as her pupil remained untouched throwing a punch once more. However, her punch never connected as she felt a strain on her arm. She looked over her shoulder as Kimura stood there holding her arm back.
"That's enough."
"Do you know who you're talking to…" She scoffs as she gets off.
After dismounting Ayameko threw a punch towards Kimura as he takes a step back, making it just far enough where her fist was mere inches away. His eyes dart over towards her bulky Shadow as his eyes light up, Kimura dashes back faster than normal as the shadow missed their punch.
Lightning sparks up as Korvos comes towards his aid along with Suharu and Erudis. Ayameko just smiles wildly. "Something's wrong with her, Korvos you should tell the others." Kimura asks Korvos as he shakes his head.
"Even If I did, do you think they'll agree with me."
"Just give it a fucking try!"
Kimura rushes towards Ayameko as the shadow gets in the way as Kimura slips past a punch and slaps his hand onto the center of the shadow's body as he lets black sparks out, momentarily stopping the shadow.
Kimura notices some weird marks appearing on the shadow as it breaks out of Kimuras attempt, barley getting his arm up in time as he was swiped forcefully horizontally. Kimura lands on the ground and rolls across it as he tries to recover from it.
He gets back on his feet, however he feels an unappealing sting from his arm, for the first time his arm was shaking from unbearable pain. He grips onto his arm as Kimura looks up and sees Ayameko already lunging at him as He instinctively throws a counter punch. They trade punches as Kimura's wounded arm had less impact than before.
The accumulation of damage Kimura had sustained from the fight and even before had started to show itself as Kimura stumbles back as his body felt heavy. Ayameko swiftly got close as she punches his abdomen and then his right pectoral specifically.
Kimura aches in pain as he raises up his arms as the glow in his eyes suddenly goes out. Confusion and swift panic sweeps over Kimura as he felt a punch slip through his guard and smashes against his jaw.
Without his mana actively on Kimura felt a fracture as Ayameko grabs onto his arm and throws him over her shoulder as she pins him down, holding his arm as she pulls his arm back more and more, nearing the snapping point.
"So much for being the Ishimura student…"
"AGH!!"
Kimura felt it getting worse and worse as the soreness began to overwhelm his body. Kimura clenches some dirt as he tries to force Ayameko off his back, in response Ayameko twisted his arm and yanked it more as both felt a tear.
"Ooh…that was a crisp rip…"
He cries out in pain as Ayameko suddenly let's go as his right arm flops onto the ground in severe pain. Ayameko had weaved her head back from Suharu's attempted flying knee as Ayameko dismounts off Kimura's back and snaps at Suharu.
The Shadow blitzed towards Suharu as her eyes Dial up, the Dial lets her react a half a second faster as Suharu punches the shadow's temple as it crashes to the floor as Suharu rushes towards Ayameko.
"Cocky…"
Ayameko rushes at Suharu as well as Ayameko throws a jab as Suharu weaves and counter hooks onto her temple. Ayameko was stunned a bit as Suharu kicks her in the pelvis and uppercuts Ayameko. It causes her to stagger back with Kimura getting up while they fight.
My arm…I can barley feel it…
Kimura holds his arm slightly scared for the first time as he hasn't had this bad of a fight as he notices Ayameko's adaptation. Ayameko rushes at Suharu as she puts up a cross guard, Ayameko throws another jab as Suharu reacts to the jab, causing her to go the right. However, Ayameko's right arm bolts out and grazes her cheek, causing Suharu to go off balance.
