Lil Daniel walked forward, his ribcage burning with every step, but he embraced the pain, letting it flow through him instead of resisting it. Each breath was sharp, each movement deliberate. His body wanted to fold, to stop, but his willpower forced him forward. His posture slowly straightened, his steps became lighter, and soon, his stride was fluid again.

Behind him, Vasco followed silently, his eyes locked onto Daniel's back. He didn't understand why, but something about this guy made his blood stir. He clenched his fists, then broke into a sprint, matching Lil Daniel's pace as they rushed toward Gun.

Gun, now airborne from Big Daniel's throw, twisted effortlessly with his body moving like liquid even as he flew. He turned his head mid-air, catching sight of Lil Daniel's incoming kick.
A slow grin stretched across his face.
With a simple spin, Gun flipped over Lil Daniel, his body weightless for an instant before his fist came crashing downward in a blur.
Before the punch could land-
BAM!
A shockwave burst through the air as Vasco intercepted the strike with his arms crossed and feet digging into the ground. His teeth were clenched with muscles flexing violently to absorb the impact. His entire body trembled under Gun's power, even though Gun had held back massively.
Gun had no wasted movement, no unnecessary power. His Ultra Instinct allowed him to precisely control his strength, lowering his output to the exact amount needed to deal damage without outright obliterating weaker opponents.
Before Vasco could fully recover, Big Daniel's fist crashed forward, sending another explosive shockwave through the battlefield.
Gun, with timed reaction, quickly adjusted, matching Daniel's speed as he blocked, but the difference in raw power was undeniable. Daniel was simply a tier stronger.
Gun's body twisted in mid-air from the force, but instead of crashing, he landed effortlessly with his feet lightly touching the shoulder of a trembling student. The poor guy didn't even dare to breathe.
The festival, once loud and chaotic, had become utterly silent. All eyes were glued to the fight. They were now completely immersed into it, unknowingly the battle has become the top entertainment.
Meanwhile Crystal who was previously losing her mind in worry for Big Daniel thinking that he would get destroyed by Gun, npw stood shocked at what she was seeing.
'Only that annoying Goo can push Gun to this level! And now there's this random Daniel?'
Gun's feet touched the ground while he stretched actively, rolling his neck as his eyes flicked toward the trio in front of him.
Big Daniel stood relaxed, in a casual but ready posture, he turned his head toward Vasco, dapping him up.
"Blocked that punch well, Vasco." he said with a small smile.
Vasco blinked, then scratched his head sheepishly, unsure how to react. He had never been praised in a fight before.
He had stopped the punch, yeah, but only because Gun had allowed it. Right now, Vasco wasn't trained in Muay Thai, he had no real technique, just brute strength, speed, and sheer durability. And yet, standing next to these monsters, he realized something.
He wanted to get stronger even more! Now knowing that it's possible to reach these levels of strength, his resolve to fight evil strengthened.
Gun exhaled through his nose, his amusement evident as he assessed them. Three completely different fighters, yet all standing before him, refusing to back down. His lips curled slightly.
(12:08 PM)
"Three against one?" he mused, rolling his shoulders. "At least try to make it interesting for me."
Big Daniel let out a short chuckle, flexing his fingers. "You say that, but you already look warmed up. Maybe you just enjoy making things harder for yourself."
Gun smirked, but before he could respond, Lil Daniel cracked his neck, stepping forward with a confident gleam in his eyes. "Nah, it's because he wants a meal."
Vasco frowned. "What?"
Lil Daniel grinned, wiping some dried blood from the corner of his mouth. "This is free extra crispy chicken, man. He's testing us, seeing how much flavor we got before going for the main course." He jabbed a thumb toward Big Daniel. "We're just appetizers, and I don't know about you, but I'd rather not get tossed aside like a bad side dish."
Gun's shoulders shook with silent laughter. "Hah… not bad."
Vasco's brow furrowed, but after a second, he grinned. "Fine by me. I'll just have to make my flavor stand out."
{A/N: I cooked here 🙏🏿😭}
Then they moved.
Lil Daniel and Vasco shot forward at the same time, feet hammering against the pavement as they closed the distance. Their muscles coiled with Vasco leading with a overhand right, while Lil Daniel weaved low, preparing a sweeping kick.
Gun's body blurred.
His left arm flicked out, catching Vasco's fist mid-air before twisting his wrist just enough to send the momentum spiraling. At the same time, his right foot shot down, pinning Lil Daniel's sweeping kick before it could fully extend.
Then, one motion.
Gun's arm blurred again.
Vasco and Lil Daniel both flipped upside down as if gravity had betrayed them. The crowd gasped as their bodies spun mid-air, their attacks instantly turned against them in a seamless display of Aikido mastery.
BAM!
They crashed to the pavement with small shockwaves rippling from the impact. A grunt escaped Vasco, while Lil Daniel coughed sharply, forcing himself to roll back to his feet. Vasco groaned, shaking his head. "What the hell was that?"
Lil Daniel spat blood to the side, wiping his chin. "Lesson one. Don't fight this guy like a normal human being."
Gun straightened, tilting his head slightly. "You're quick learners."
Before they could react, Big Daniel was already in front of him.
BOOM!
The sheer force of Daniel's punch splitting the air sent a powerful shockwave through the area, knocking over nearby chairs and rattling windows. Gun's body leaned back at the last possible second, dodging by a hair's breadth.
Gun twisted mid-lean with his knee rising at high speed.
BOOM!
Big Daniel's forearm came up just in time, absorbing the knee strike with a violent impact that sent a deep crater into the pavement beneath him.
Their movements were beyond normal perception causing the crowd to lose their minds.
"What the hell kind of fight is this?!"
"This is straight out of a webtoon!"
Zoe, leaned forward with wide eyes. "Wait… no, I recognize these moves! The speed, the shockwaves, it's just like Lookism: True Flow!"
Students turned toward her in shock.
"No way!"
"The webtoon?"
"You mean the one that's going viral?! These techniques look similar!"
Lil Daniel, still catching his breath, smirked as he adjusted his stance. "Of course they do. Because they work."
Gun barely spared the crowd a glance before launching forward again, his Kyokushin roots showed as he spun with a rapid succession of kicks launching in unpredictable arcs, each one a potential knockout blow.
Big Daniel didn't retreat.
Instead, he copied the exact technique.
Gun's spinning kick met Daniel's in the air, two opposing forces clashing with a thunderous shockwave. The street itself fractured beneath them. Gun pivoted mid-spin, seamlessly shifting into a Muay Thai's devastating elbow strike.
Daniel matched him.
Elbow to elbow, impact to impact. Gun's strength was good, but Daniel's was higher, while his ability to read, adapt, and counter was evolving with every second.
Lil Daniel and Vasco, still regaining their footing, launched forward again. Lil Daniel weaved through the turbulence of their shockwaves, throwing a fast straight punch aimed at Gun's ribs. Vasco followed up with a brutal left hook, aiming for Gun's jaw.
Gun arms barely moved with just small, sharp redirections.
Lil Daniel's punch veered off-course, skimming Gun's side instead of landing clean. For Vasco's hook, Gun simply tilted his head.
The attacks whiffed completely.
Then came Gun's counter.
BAM.
Gun's palm slammed into Lil Daniel's sternum. The force lifted him off his feet, sending him skidding across the ground.
BAM.
Vasco barely saw it, Gun's knee burying itself into his abdomen. The breath ripped from his lungs as he staggered, doubling over.
Lil Daniel and Vasco were strong and fast. But they weren't making a dent.
Big Daniel, watching his first body get tossed aside, let out a small exhale. "Damn. That's some recovery needed."
Gun smiled as he walked towards Daniel. "The warm up has finished."
Daniel lowered his stance.
Gun's muscles coiled.
Just as Big Daniel and Gun's fists were about to collide, a sharp voice cut through the air.
"That's enough!"
