6. R

I grimaced as I blocked another of Yang's blows that would otherwise take quite of my aura if it connected into an unprotected area.

"Fuck! Fight seriously! I know of grannies that can throw better punches than you!"

Yang raged as I evaded another strike without giving any in return...

My choice of the fight wasn't exactly the most stellar one, nor something I should feel prideful, but in truth, as my semblance that would normally let me fight anybody was a very bad combination against Yang's semblance that would take any my hit on her which would make her next stronger...

In short, Yang was my worst enemy, at least at the start, as the longer I fought, the stronger, faster, and more durable I became...

As I named my semblance, The Escalation, the longer I fought and let Yang strike me, the stronger I became as such, I was just defending myself until I was strong enough to break Yang's aura in one hit, which would make her otherwise problematic semblance completely worthless as Yang's semblance didn't work without aura...

"You bully grannies? Didn't your mother teach you to be respectful to your elders, you blonde bimbo?!"

I taunted and struck a cord...

"GRRRAAAHHH!!! JUST! STAY! ON! PLACE! SO! I! CAN! HIT! YOU!"

Yang screamed in rage as her eyes changed from their lilac to red, and it seemed my bringing parents, especially Raven, which was the reason Yang was even in this club in the first place, was a sore point, did I cheat?

Yes, but I know from the show how utterly shitty the idea would be to hit Yang even before I could be strong enough...

"What up, can't even make a connection with me, do your gigantic jugs of meat make you so slow? Or is it the stupid hair? Really, a fighter with such glaring weakness? Are you even seriously trying to become huntresses?"

I goaded, yep, I was a bastard, but again, Yang was the one in the wrong, I was all about equal rights, but that didn't change the fact that in this world, men were viewed as weaker, and knowing that if I was just slightly weaker, Yang could utterly destroy me, which was like if in my old world some kickboxer thrashed woman...

Equal rights or not, it was just not done...

"YOU FUCKER! JUST WAIT TILL I FINALLY CATCH YOU!"

Yang screamed in rage as she threw another punch at me, making me widen my eyes the moment it connected with me, I was thrown against the wall...

"F-fuck..."

I grounded out in pain, one glaring thing about my semblance was that even if I became stronger the longer, I fought, the pain was still present...

"Ha! This is for calling me, bimbo!"

Yang said with a grin that transformed a little as she saw me not moving.

"H-hey, don't try to play dead, I know that you are alright, r-right?"

Yang asked.

"You bitch! Why did you punch him so hard!"

Melanie screamed as she wanted to rush to me, which made me quite warm inside, I knew they didn't know me so close, even if we already slept with each other, but it seemed they truly cared for me, even if little, as such I really didn't want to play with their feelings, as such I stood up from the rubble, making Melanie stop in her rush, Miltia with her as she too stopped, but when I looked, I could see relief in their faces...

"Fuck... That hurt..."

"Heh! I knew you would be okay! You know, for man, you know how to take a hit!"

Yang said with false bravado, that changed into a true one as she saw me without any injury...

"Yea... And I can give hit too..."

I said as I looked at Yang, who seemed to realize what I said as I already was near her, I was not teleporting, but my speed was already much higher, especially after that hard blow I received...

"Eat this!"

I said as I made a punching motion.

"Oh shit!"

Yang screamed as she quickly took a defending stance, receiving my punch straightforwardly rather than evading it...

Wrong choice...

"FUUUUUUUCCCCCKKKKKK!!!!"

Yang screamed as she was catapulted through the windows of the club from my punch...

"Ha! You like giving but not receiving punches?"

I said after her with a little laugh and grimace, even as I felt my body regenerating, the pain was still there, and I could feel my ribs being broken...

This I have for not using aura as a barrier but for regeneration...

"Rey?!"

"Are you alright?!"

Melanie and Miltia sped to me as they inspected me with worried gazes...

And as I was about to speak, I noticed something black on the outside...
