Chap. 7 - Trigger [2]

The five people walked towards me with expressions full of emotion.

The two of us stared at the five of them in tense silence. Tension was palpable in the air. I could feel the aura of power from the bespectacled man in front of me.

This fight will be a long one.

"You guys hit the boss? I'll make you regret it!"

Hayden also looks ready to face them.

This is a five-on-two battle. Hayden and I ran towards them, and they responded by running towards us. This fight is inevitable.

They attacked simultaneously, targeting different parts of my body: head, torso, and legs.

I managed to block their attacks, and Hayden seemed to be handling it well.

They immediately surrounded me and Hayden. Two people attacked from the front, while the other three spread out to the right, left, and back. The attack pressure came from all directions.

My focus is divided. Right now, I only have the option to survive. They launched attacks aggressively from all directions.

They want to keep me and Hayden apart.

After successfully separating us, now I was fighting three people while Hayden was fighting two people.

The man with glasses threw a hard punch towards the head, I quickly blocked it with both hands.

The woman followed with a swift kick to the leg to throw off my balance.

I deftly lifted my leg, causing my and the woman's legs to collide. She winced in pain

Another blow followed, slamming into my stomach with inescapable force.

Their faces were full of shock when I managed to block all their attacks at once.

His eyes widened in disbelief, he didn't think I was able to defeat them so easily.

Pressed by my power, they were forced to retreat. But behind their retreat, a cunning strategy is hidden.

Deceptive attacks full of cunning will be their weapon for revenge. This battle is not over yet, and they are ready to attack at the right time.

As usual, the man with glasses started first, using a feint (feint movement) towards the face.

Followed by a body kick (body kick) to the ribs.

My gaze was diverted, one of them was in front of me and made an uppercut on my chin.

My gaze went upwards, the man with glasses delivered a low kick to my calf, the woman continued with a straight punch to my stomach.

Lastly, Elbow Strike (elbow attack) to the jaw.

They kept using combinations like that, Jab-jab-cross (light-light-hard punch) to the face.

Roundhouse kick (rotating kick) to the waist. Hook punch (curved punch) to the jaw from the opposite side.

Their collaboration is impressive, but useless. Their attacks didn't work, there were no scratches on my body. The woman gasped, "Impossible..." she whispered softly.

His eyes widened when he opened them again, I was between them, this is the Ninjutsu martial arts technique (Shunshin No JutsuJutsu)

Late! The man with glasses didn't expect that I was already behind him.

I got between the two people, and used the double grapple and throw technique, namely:

The right hand grips the arm of the first opponent, the left hand grips the arm of the second opponent. With full force, I pulled and pushed them towards each other.

Their bodies collided in a violent collision. Without wasting any time, I launched a slam technique,

knocking out both opponents at once.

Strength and strategy led me to victory. My enemy lay helpless.

"Two have fallen," I said.

The glasses man panicked. His eyes widened in disbelief when he saw his two friends lying helpless in front of him. He tried to back away, his footsteps shaking with fear.

But, I didn't give him a chance. With a quick movement, I launched 540 kicks:

I Step forward with the non-kicking foot (e.g. the left foot if you use the right foot for the kick).

Then jump into the air strongly. Bring the kicking leg (right leg) up in a clockwise circular motion.

My body rotates 360 degrees clockwise.

When my right foot reached the top of the rotation, I kicked my right foot horizontally towards the man with glasses.

Then, I ground my left foot gently to complete the body rotation.

knocked the bespectacled man down and made him lose his balance.

This unexpected and devastating attack had a major psychological effect. Fear crept over him. He realized that he was not as strong as he imagined.

This battle is getting more and more one-sided. I controlled the battlefield, and the bespectacled man could only accept his defeat. I was still standing in front of him.

his body was shaking, his heart was beating fast. "Please, don't hurt me!" he demanded in a trembling voice.

My eyes fell on Hayden.

I knew he was close to finishing this fight.

Both opponents looked exhausted and scared. They couldn't hold Hayden any longer.

With steps full of confidence, Hayden stepped forward.

Without needing to carry out any attacks, they immediately surrendered.

Their bodies collapsed in front of Hayden, begging for forgiveness in trembling voices.

"W-we surrender, please forgive us!"

Emi was sure I would win when she saw Hayden and I fight.

Hayden and I decided to go home,

My and Hayden's footsteps went hand in hand, accompanied by a small conversation.

"Tomoe, who exactly are you?" Hayden asked.

"Me yes I am, what's wrong?" I answered

Hayden was silent, contemplating his question. The fierce battle we just went through was still imprinted in his mind.

Just like Hayden, I'm also curious. Why didn't Emi show her strength when fighting with me? The question kept spinning in my head.
