The Second pre-Tokushu Exam, Part 5

North Eastern Forest Region 1:37 pm
Hayoku stands tranquil, reeking with an aura. Zenatori thought,
"Tsuyo Hayoku? The strongest syneji artist alive?"

Zenatori races forward, sending a fire-infused blow straight to Hayoku. The blow's recoil causes a massive inferno explosion, swaying the trees in the area. 

Hayoku stands calmly, saying,
"Geez, that's pretty overkill."

Zenatori thinks in shock,
"Did he seriously evade that? There's no way."

East Forest Region 1:37 pm
Yachi and Katashi are still trading blows before he creates an opening and kicks her, causing her to slide against the dirt. He then says,
"Don't you see? Your attacks are useless against me, just give me the damn AUTOMORPH."

Yachi wipes some blood off her lip and stands up, saying
"Fine then, I'll switch up the strategy."

Yachi swings her arm, and using the wind from the swing, she's about to exert the last bits of her isotonic force and send a powerful gust of wind straight towards Katashi. He flies through several trees, tumbling through the forest before hitting a rock, causing it to crack. 
"What an annoying brat."

Suddenly, barely having time to recover, he's hit by a strong block of ice, causing him to stumble in pain. The strands of brown hair, followed by the glamorous, ocean-like eyes of a girl, stand in Katashi's field of view. She says,
"I guess I'll finish Yachi's doings."

Katashi looks in fear,
"Is that Naoko Akari?"

East Forest Region 1:39 pm
After she exerts so much isotonic force and is generally low on it, Yachi nearly collapses to the ground due to reactionary fatigue. Suddenly, she narrowly evades a ball of fire, followed by the voice of Iwasaki,
"Did you forget I'm here?"

She looks over in exhaustion and readies herself. Iwasaki comes in with a blow, but Iwasaki can evade the exhausted Yachi effortlessly. He then kicks her into the tree, causing her to cough up blood. Yachi starts tearing up in pain. She thinks to herself,
"Oh God, where's Sakatoro, please?"

As a tear drops down her face, she mutters The strength, 
"Sakatoro-kun."

Suddenly, Zenatori crashes through multiple trees, skidding across the ground, and spots Yachi. He says,
"Huh, what's Yachi doing here? What's going on anymore?"

Iwasaki frowns,
"So, is she your friend?"

Zenatori clenches his fist and says,
"More than that."

Iwasaki grins,
"Isn't that admirable?"

North Eastern Forest Region 1:38 pm
Hayoku stands still and says,
"That isn't all you guys got, is it?"

Harumi runs forward, sending a kick only for Hayoku to duck down and dodge it. Zenatori follows up with a jab, then a front kick, but Hayoku dodges the first blow and grabs Zenatori's leg, pushing him back to the ground.

Harumi attempts to hit Hayoku again, but her effort is in vain. Zenatori uses it as an opening and tries to hit Hayoku from behind, but Hayoku is so fast that before he knows it, he's instantly behind Zenatori. He says,
"Jeez, this is already getting boring, to be honest. How about you both give up, and we end this farce of ours?"

Zenatori clenches his fist and bolts toward Hayoku, only for Hayoku to evade him again. This time, he grabs Zenatori, placing a kinetic barrier on him, then exerts force on him, causing Zenatori to fly through the forest. 

Harumi stares at Hayoku for a few seconds, then starts running away in fear, gasping for air in pure adrenaline.

Hayoku says to himself,
"Well, that was interesting. Well, Zenatori has a girlfriend to save. I hope I threw him in the right area."
