(A/N:-Exams from 1st Oct to 12th Oct, so only 4-chapters per week rather than a daily chapter. Leave a review on the novel and I appreciate those who enjoy reading my novels.)

𝔹𝕒𝕞! (Bam!)
𝔹𝕒𝕞! (Bam!)
𝔹𝕒𝕞! (Bam!)
Two figures could be seen exchanging blows, extremely nimble and fluid movement was being displaced by the two individuals as they continued to engage in a melee battle.
Both of the individuals wore similar clothes, the only difference being their gender. One of them was a young man with long white hair tied behind his back whereas the other person was a young woman, sporting a boy-hair cut.
Mari and Erik, both of them were engaging in a mock battle to train for the upcoming big event.
Mari moved forward with high dexterity feinting an attack towards Erik's ribs whereas she switched to back sweep as soon as Erik leaned backwards.
Having a rather considerable height advantage over Mari, Erik easily made quite some distance between them, his back foot was already out of Mari's range, therefore, he simply raised his other foot to avoid the incoming leg sweep.
Raising his arms in front of his chest, he decided to switch to a more aggressive fighting stance.
Erik took a step forward towards Mari, effectively entering her range with a single step. He launches a straight punch towards her side-ribs which she nimbly dodges by tilting her body in one direction.
He doesn't let up his attack and his previous attack was followed by a backhand towards Mari's face.
𝕎𝕙𝕠𝕠𝕤𝕙! (Whoosh!)
The whistling of the wind generated by Erik's hand blew just inches away from Mari's face, using her smaller frame to her advantage, she leans backwards, bending her body into U-shape to avoid the backhand.
Erik missed, his hand completely missing her head. She didn't let go of this opportunity and kicks towards Erik's left kidney, due to missing his attack, Erik right hand was still in the backhand motion, seriously limiting his movement.
But, Erik still had his calm expression, showing no signs of any panic. He uses his right leg to kick Mari's leg, away from his chest.
𝔹𝕒𝕞! (Bam!)
The impact generated by their legs colliding mid-attack sent the air bursting outwards.
"Huff!.....You really are talented in hand-to-hand combat, damn! You aren't even breathing heavily!"
"That's because I am not making extra movements, making it easier for myself to conserve my strength and explode with full potential if the need arises...."
Saying so, Erik suddenly jerks away Mari's leg and kicks the heel of her other leg on which she was standing on. Mari couldn't retreat in time and fell backwards on the ground.
Raising his leg in his air, he smashes it towards where Mari had fallen, the latter immediately rolled out of the way of the deadly heel drop and stood up.
Using the delay in Mari's movement, Erik once again closed the distance between them, the former still hadn't regained her balance after getting up but Erik was already in front of her, launching a barrage of punches aimed at her joints.
Mari dodges and blocks his fists while countering with her own blows, Erik would always try to close in on her due to having a range advantage over her.
She bends forward and launches a backheel towards Erik's chest, causing the latter to raise his hands in front of his chest to block the incoming attack.
𝔹𝕒𝕞! (Bam!)
Erik's eyes widened ever so slightly, the impact was significantly more powerful than he had expected it to be. Mari had used the momentum to her advantage to force out more power behind her attacks.
Erik had to take a few steps back to dissolve the force behind her attack.
Mari fighting style revolves around attacking the sensory organs of the opponent, to quickly decapitate them but unfortunately, Erik was a league of his own, he always targetted her muscles and joints, every single one of his punches carried a lot of force.
She couldn't close in on him without the risk of being attacked, and she very well knew that Erik doesn't hesitate to strike.
The moment she lets up, he would surely exploit her mistake and deliver a finishing blow.
'I need to strike fast.....!'
Mari knew she couldn't drag the battle any longer, Erik had much more stability and stamina when compared to her.
She kicks towards Erik's head which he blocks using his left arms, not letting up she turns around and delivers a back-kick towards his stomach.
Erik slaps her leg away with his right hand, changing the direction of her attack while also side-stepping to completely avoid the blow.
Mari immediately transfers the momentum her gained when he slapped her leg away from hitting his body, turning her body to amplify the power within her attack, she delivers and rotating kick towards his side-ribs.
Erik positions his right arm to cushion the attack while going with the flow of the attack to avoid sustaining damage, but while doing so, his left side was completely open.
'That's it!.....'
Mari immediately moved forward with her right fist clenched tightly, focusing all her power in this last attack. She punches towards his diaphragm with all her might.
'You can't dodge this attack.....!'
Mari's fists near his stomach but just as it was a few inches away from hitting him, it suddenly stops mid-air.
"Ahhggh.....!"
Looking down towards her stomach, Mari could see Erik's fist deeply lodged into her stomach. Erik had utilized his height advantage over Mari to strike as soon as she did, due to his range being bigger than Mari's his fist reached her first.
The power behind his punch wasn't too much but it effectively knocked out the air from within Mari's lungs, causing her attack to flatter.
Erik pulls back as Mari holds her stomach with both of her hands, crouching on the ground while groaning in pain.
"You alright Mari? I shouldn't have hit that hard...."
"Argh....! Shut you, Erik, I know you are smiling right now...."
"I don't know what you are talking about....."
"Anyway, here....get up now, we should take a break...."
"Argggh.....I agree!"
Erik extends his hand towards Mari and helps her stand up. She had a pained yet annoyed expression on her face as she glared towards Erik.
"I couldn't hit you once....."
"Hmm...aren't you being too violent Mari, I wonder how Naotsugu-san handles you....?"
"Shut Up!..."
Mari immediately straightens up to punch Erik but a recurring pain assaulted her stomach, causing her angry expression to flatter and be replaced with a pained one.
"You are a very sadistic person, Erik....."
"I really don't know what you are talking about....."
Sporting a light smile on his face, Erik turns towards Suzune who had been observing the fight to analyse Erik's fighting style and accordingly calibrate a secondary C.A.D for him.
"Su-chan, have you gathered enough information from our spar? We can move on to planning strategies if you are done?....."
The slender willow framed woman nods her head with a plain expression as she points towards the data drive in her right hand.
"Yes, the data I wanted is in this drive. We can move on to the next step...."
The three of them moves towards the monitor, using which they could access the other training rooms within the school.
ℂ𝕝𝕚𝕔𝕜! (Click!)
Suzune clicked on the display icon on the monitor, resulting in a holographic display screen to appear in front of them.
The screen displayed the camera view within the various rooms available in the training area of the First High School. In one of the room, a woman wearing a white tracksuit could be seen standing with a sniper within her hands.
She had crimson eyes and long black hair till her waist, she wore a practice uniform while aiming down the sight installed on her sniper.
(Mayumi's P.O.V)
"Initiate Speed-shooting simulation....."
[Initialing Speed-Shooting Simulation....]
[Generating holographic targets...]
[Shaping targets as disc...]
[Starting the projector machine....]
[Installing 100-rounds...]
[Begining Simulation....3....2....1!....]
I waited for the generating machine to complete its procedure and took aim. I was wearing standard sight glasses over my eyes to make the simulation as real as possible.
Speed-Shooting was an event in which I had overwhelmingly advantage over any other contestant, I can't allow myself to grow complacent over this fact.
Multiple projectiles were generated within the air as I raised my sniper and started shooting.
𝔹𝕒𝕞! (Bam!)
ℂ𝕣𝕒𝕔𝕜! (Crack!)
Hitting the target causes it to disperse mid-air, I had just shot 12-projectiles with 12-shots, I frightening accuracy and efficiency as they say but I want to shoot even faster.
I have the potential to win the event, to match 'him' in brilliance, I will not fail!
(Back to Erik)
"Wow, Mayumi is so impressive!..."
"You are right, Mari. Her accuracy is scary, I don't think many can match her in the upcoming event of Speed-Shooting..."
"Yes, she had been within that room since the morning, doing the simulation over and over again....."
"Really!? I didn't know that Suzune-san...."
"She will absolutely crush the event!....."
"She will indeed crush the event if she keeps up at her speed....."
"What about Juumonji-san? I haven't seen him since the morning?...."
"He too has been within the training room, Mari-san...."
"Oh...? Let's see what he is doing then!..."
(Katsuto's P.O.V)
𝔹𝕠𝕠𝕞! (Boom!)
𝔹𝕠𝕠𝕞! (Boom!)
𝔹𝕠𝕠𝕞! (Boom!)
I jumped forward and sent multiple [Phalanx] towards the projections who had been fighting me.
Using [Weight-Type Magic], I immediately pinned one of the projection while creating a shield to defend against the other projection who had launched a [Bio-mass Explosion Magic], using the air to explode upon coming in contact with heat-signatures.
I sent another [Phalanx] towards the third projection who had just attacked with a [Convergence-Type:-Twister] from behind. Expanding my shield, I enclosed myself within a box to withstand the incoming magic before raising my hand towards the projection who was pinned by my magic earlier.
"[Convergence-Type:-Speed Bullet]....."
Using air to my advantage, I launched an air cannon towards the pinned projection to knock him out before slapping the other two projection with [Phalanx] projection.
(Back at Erik)
"Well, I think we don't really need a third person for the [Monolith Code]..."
"I agree....."
"I second that..."
