After Raven's fist hit Alec's face.
Tap-
Raven stepped forward his left foot.
Swish-
Then he immediately rotated his whole body clockwise as he raised his right foot to his head level...
Bam-!
Then he launched a spinning hook kick, aiming at Alec's head once again!
But Alec blocked it with his left hand.
Bam-!
"Grghh!"
Not just that, Alec also countered by sending a body blow to Raven using his right fist!
Crack-
And his attack broke some of Raven's ribs!
And knowing what happened to him...
Bom-
Raven put some distance between him and Alec.
After that, Raven looked at where his ribs are.
Then he frowned.
'If I do extreme movements with this kind of injury, it would definitely hurt.'
Raven thought.
Then he looked back at Alec.
"Ouch... That hurt."
Alec mumbled while holding his reddened nose.
His nose bled a little because of the punch he received from Raven.
'He did more damage to me than I did to him.'
'At this rate, I'm gonna lose sooner or later...'
Raven thought with a serious face.
'Request to the system shop to fix my broken ribs.'
Then he ordered in his head!
[What the... You're gonna cheat?]
Sariel suddenly appeared and asked Raven.
And at his words, Raven frowned.
'Me and you being able to communicate telepathically and the system shop are part of my skills.'
Raven stated in his mind.
'And we're allowed to use skills in our march.'
And Raven used his specialty to Sariel!
It's sophistry!
'So just do it.'
He ordered Sariel again.
[Fine... What a bastard.]
Sariel answered.
And not long after...
[Your request was granted.]
Sariel added.
Then Raven's broken ribs suddenly got fixed again!
"Hey, are you ready?"
It was then, he head Alec's voice.
Raven looked at Alec, and he frowned.
He knows that, Alec doesn't mean anything bad at his question.
But it still irked Raven...
So with a devilish smile...
"Yeah, thanks for the wait."
Raven replied to Alec.
Bam-
And after that, Alec suddenly rushed at Raven!
And when he got in front of Raven...
Bam-
Bom-
Bam!
Alec threw 3 consecutive punches to Raven, using only his right hand!
Thomp-
Thamp-
Thump-
But as a response to that, Raven only used his left hand to block them all!
The 3 punches Alec threw made a sideway triangular pattern( ">" ).
So Raven just traced the attacks' pattern to block them!
Swoosh-
But Alec just casually followed a left hook punch!
Bam-!
And Raven blocked it with his right forearm!
Swish-
Alec then next threw a right straight punch, aiming at Raven's nose!
Fwish-
But his fist only met air as Raven moved his head to the side and dodged by a hair's breadth!
Fwip-
Raven then grabbed Alec's right arm with his right hand.
He also grabbed the collar of Alec's shirt!
Swoosh-
Then he spun around, and performed a shoulder throw against Alec!
"!"
Alec was surprised.
Bam-!
"Graah...!"
And the next thing he knew, he was lying on the ground!
Alec immediately became defensive for incoming attacks!
But even after some few seconds passed by, no attack came at him!
So... He looked at Raven.
Then he saw Raven standing still, and looking down at him.
And sensing Alec's gaze, Raven opened his mouth...
"Hey, are you ready?"
Then he asked!
***
[Alec's POV]
"Hey, are you ready?"
Raven asked me while I'm lying on the floor.
His voice was innocent when he said that, and his eyes were kind.
So Raven definitely asked me that out of kindness.
(Bruh... No.)
But still...
His question...
'It's annoying.'
So I immediately stood up.
"Yeah."
Then I replied to Raven.
"Oh, then let's go at it again."
Raven said as he took a fighting stance.
'This is a practice spar.'
I told to myself inwardly.
'Our goal is to practice of course...'
I stated in my head.
'I'm still mastering this technique, and I want to test it against someone.'
I thought.
'And if it's Raven, based on what he shown me until now...'
"Then he's a good opponent to practice it with."
I mumbled.
"Huh? You said something?"
Raven asked me, and I just shook my head as a response to him.
"I said I'm ready."
I muttered.
Then I took a fighting stance too.
And after that...
Shaa-
I used my skill <Teleportation> to appear beside Raven!
Swoosh-
Bam-!
Then I immediately threw a punch at Raven!
Though, he blocked it as I expected.
Shaa-
So next, I teleported behind him!
Bam-
Then I kicked him!
"Argh... Fuck!"
This time, Raven wasn't able to block my attack!
But I'm not finished yet.
Next...
Shaa-
I teleported in front of Raven.
Bam!
Bom!
Thump!
Then I threw 3 consecutive fast punches at him!
"Gurgh!"
Two hit Raven's body, but the punch I threw at Raven's face was blocked by him.
And that's when I noticed Raven's face, he's glaring at me.
Shaa-
But I ignored him as I teleported to his left side next.
Bam-!
"Grrrfg..."
Then I punched Raven's abdomen!
This is the technique I invented myself!
I'll randomly teleport around my opponent then attack them!
And after that, I'll immediately teleport again to a different side near them, and attack them again!
Then I'll redo those 2 steps again and again!
It's like a continuous hit and run!
And by doing this, my opponent would have a hard time blocking my attacks and attacking me!
Though, using <Teleportation> again and again depletes my mana in a very fast pace!
So I only practice it sometimes, and this is the first time I'm using it against someone!
Anyway, I call this technique of mine, [Spatial Barrage]!
So with all of that, I teleported behind Raven.
Swoosh-
Then I threw a straight punch at him, aiming at his spine!
BAM!
"Keuk...?!"
But before my fist could even reach Raven, something unexpected happened!
I suddenly felt a strong punch at my nose!
And when I briefly glanced back at Raven...
He's facing me!
'But I'm sure I teleported behind him!'
I exclaimed inwardly.
Thud-
The attack I received was totally unexpected, so I fell on the ground!
And for the second time, I'm lying on the ground again!
Thump-
"Gurgh!"
And after that, I felt something heavy on my chest...
It was Raven's right foot, he's stepping on me!
I looked up...
And I saw Raven looking down at me for the second time now.
Then with a smile...
"I caught you."
Raven said to me.
~~~~~
[Drei05]: I'm really sorry for the delay update...
Anyway, I'll at least try updating 13 chapters per week now! ;3
