Klaus and Eric stared at each other for a brief moment, and an almost electrifying tension hung in the air as they prepared for the impending confrontation.
The boys and the other spectators around kept their gazes fixed on the two students, curious as to how this fight would unfold.
Eric was the first to move, moving quickly towards Klaus with a spinning kick with a knee strike towards his opponent's chest, which Klaus defended by putting his hands together, and then Eric did a spinning kick in order to hit his head. Klaus was startled, because he did not expect such a fluid and natural movement, but he responded promptly, crouching down to deflect the attack and countering with a direct punch to Eric's face.
However, Eric was not only very strong and fast, he had great reflexes, so he anticipated Klaus' movement and deftly deflected to the side, avoiding the blow.
Eric, showing his agility, took advantage of his proximity to Klaus and tried to land a sequence of quick punches on his torso. Klaus blocked part of them and dodged the others with fluid movements, showing that not only his offensive skill was good, but also his defensive one.
At this moment, with so many hits in sequence applied by Eric, Klaus saw an opening and, taking advantage of this opening, launched a kick towards Eric's legs, seeking to knock him down or at least destabilize him. However, Eric demonstrated his dexterity by jumping in the air, narrowly avoiding the blow, and the next instant he kicked Klaus in the chest, who staggered backwards.
Eric landed nimbly and looked toward Klaus, smiling.
Klaus recovered quickly from the kick and faced Eric with determination. He would not let himself be put down so easily, especially now that he knew that Eric's blows were not even as powerful as he expected them to be.
Therefore, Klaus decided to take the initiative and moved towards Eric with a ready fist and when his opponent prepared to defend, he switched to a series of quick punches.
Eric deftly blocked some of the blows, demonstrating his skill in defense, only for Klaus to hit a few of them as well, which made Eric a little more irritated.
Deciding not to be pressured, not in front of his 'subordinates', Eric launched a counter-attack, launching a kick towards Klaus' head, a kick that was so fast that Klaus could barely see it. Still, Klaus managed to dodge at the last moment, rolling on the ground to avoid the attack.
Now it was Klaus' turn to react. In the midst of their exchange of blows, Kaito launched a powerful kick towards Eric's abdomen, returning the blow he had suffered earlier with even more force. Fortunately, the blow connected, causing Eric to take a few steps back and really feel this blow. Klaus took the moment to attack with a quick sequence of punches, aiming for Eric's face, perhaps this was the opportunity to knock him out.
Klaus and Eric were engaged in a fierce battle, so the tension in the air was tremendous as the blows echoed in the room. With each move, Klaus demonstrated his stamina and agility, while Eric tried to find a breach in his impenetrable defense. As the fight unfolded, Klaus began to observe patterns in Eric's movements. He noticed that Eric had a tendency to expose himself more than necessary after his attacks, opening a small window of opportunity. Klaus decided to use this weakness of his enemy to his advantage.
As Eric launched a powerful punch toward Klaus's face, Klaus quickly sidestepped, avoiding the blow by the slimmest of margins. Taking advantage of the opening created, Klaus countered as fast as he could with a powerful right cross towards Eric's jaw. The blow hit hard, and Eric staggered back, his expression of confidence transformed into momentary surprise. Klaus seized the opportunity and moved forward, pressing his opponent with a rapid sequence of precise punches that hit both his face and his belly after Eric's guard was up. Each punch had a purpose, aiming to undermine Eric's resistance.
Eric tried to defend himself and counterattack still, but this created a snowball effect, because Klaus was too fast, throwing blows with millimeter precision. The determination in his eyes was evident, and his concentration was total.
The surrounding spectators, consisting of the boys Klaus had protected and his group mates, were completely involved in the battle, in awe. It wasn't as if Klaus was defeating just any student, he was literally taking out the captain of the Athletic Department.
Eric, despite receiving powerful blows, was not willing to give up easily. His pride was at stake. For this reason, even with his resistance at the threshold, he was fighting with all his strength to reverse the situation.
However, determination alone would not be enough to stop Klaus' formidable moves.
As the fight went on, Klaus noticed that Eric was showing more and more signs of fatigue. His movements were no longer as agile, and his blows were even weaker. Klaus saw the perfect opportunity to deliver the final blow. He took a few steps back, allowing Eric to recover briefly, and when Eric stepped forward again, thinking that Klaus was the one who had tired and trying to throw a punch towards his face, Klaus dodged it with impressive agility and took advantage of the moment to apply a sharp blow.
Klaus launched another powerful cross, this time a left jab, aiming it with all his strength and precision at Eric's jaw. The blow connected with a thunderous crash, causing Eric's body to contort amidst the impact.
Time seemed to move in slow motion as Klaus' fist met Eric's face. A momentary silence filled the room as Eric was struck full on by the powerful blow. With the impact was overwhelming, Eric's body was thrown backwards, off balance, until he finally fell to the ground with a deafening thud.
The small audience, which had remained silent, erupted in a mixture of surprise and admiration.
Klaus stood, breathing deeply, as he watched Eric fall to the floor. A wave of emotions washed over him: relief that he had won the battle, and the confidence that was born of his victory.
