The atmosphere was heavy with anticipation. Ha Joon, though feeling a tinge of fear from Jin Hwa's presence, refused to back down. Instead, he took a deep breath and stepped forward, his confidence rooted in his kickboxing skills.

"Alright, Jin Hwa, let's see if you're as tough as you look," Ha Joon sneered, his voice dripping with arrogant bravado.

Jin Hwa accepted the challenge with a nod. He knew this fight would be different; Ha Joon had a background in kickboxing, and Jin Hwa relied on his enhanced stats and abilities.

The two opponents began to circle each other, each eyeing the other's movements. Ha Joon initiated the fight with a swift and powerful roundhouse kick, aimed at Jin Hwa's head. 

Jin Hwa relied on his agility to evade the blow, narrowly avoiding the kick. He countered with a rapid-strike, connecting with Ha Joon's side.

Ha Joon staggered but quickly recovered, launching a series of rapid kicks aimed at Jin Hwa's legs. Jin Hwa used his enhanced agility to evade most of the strikes, but a couple of them landed, sending sharp jolts of pain through his legs.

Gritting his teeth, Jin Hwa returned with a well-placed knee strike, hitting Ha Joon's midsection. 

The force of the blow knocked the wind out of Ha Joon, but he continued to press forward, undeterred. Ha Joon switched to a flurry of punches, combining his kickboxing techniques with sheer determination.

As the fight wore on, Jin Hwa relied on his strength and endurance, successfully blocking Ha Joon's relentless punches. However, the unyielding assault was undeniably taxing. 

Between breaths, Ha Joon smirked and said, "Is that all you've got, Jin Hwa? I expected more from the so-called hero."

The fight continued with both opponents taking turns gaining the upper hand. Ha Joon's kickboxing skills and relentless offense clashed with Jin Hwa's enhanced stats and calculated counterattacks.

As the intense battle between Jin Hwa and Ha Joon reached its climax, the heavy door leading to the rooftop burst open. A stern-looking teacher, Mr. Kim, stormed onto the scene, his face red with anger. The other students quickly backed away, creating a clear path for him.

In the minds of some students, there was a collective thought: "Oh shit... it's Mr. Kim."

Mr. Kim's authoritative presence instantly captured the attention of everyone present. He raised his voice, reprimanding the two fighters. "What on earth is going on here? Have you lost your minds?"

Jin Hwa and Ha Joon, both breathing heavily and nursing their injuries, exchanged defiant glares. They were reluctant to back down.

But Mr. Kim wasn't one to tolerate disobedience. "This is a school, not a battleground! Fighting like this is unacceptable. You two should know better."

Despite their resistance, they knew they couldn't challenge Mr. Kim's authority. He escorted them back to the school building, his stern lecture ringing in their ears.

The fight had come to an abrupt end, but there was an undeniable tension between Jin Hwa and Ha Joon. It was clear that their rivalry was far from over.
