《エッセンス (Essence)》Volume Two | Chapter - Royale Preliminaries Part Six
Advertisement
With a thunderous crash, Yuki was thrown against the concrete wall of the arena. Upon impact, a small amount of blood sputtered from her mouth as she gritted her teeth making daggers as she looked at Sachika in the distance, who was already charging in for another attack.
Sachika used her speed to close the gap between her and Yuki.
To her surprise, Yuki subtly dodged Sachikas' attack who had embedded her left bladed gauntlet into the concrete wall. Yuki took advantage of this, and without hesitation made a diagonal strike with her clawed gauntlet.
Sachika was only just able to make an escape to avoid any major injury, however, she didn't escape unscathed. Across nanotech suit where her breasts were, four light clean cuts were made into the suit as trickles of blood poured from the cuts.
Damn, I can't put all my strength into one attack or Yuki will counter it...I need to be fast if I'm to beat her, Sachika thought to herself, as she furrowed her mind for a plan.
Sachika dashed back to gain some distance.
"What's the matter Sachika? Running away again?" Yuki shouted.
It was too late for Sachika to dodge Yuki's attack as the latter used her speed to overcome her opponent, her speed was close to that of Sachika's. There was only a select few that could reach the interval speeds of Sachika's millionth's of a second, and Yuki was one of them.
Yuki connected her knee into Sachika's ribs on the side the force of the attack launching the latter into the ground, making a crumbled hole in the arena floor.
The attack winded Sachika whom slowly stood up trying to get her breath back. Looking up she saw Yuki come in for another attack this on the sole of her foot. Sachika was able to react quickly to make a quick dodge to safety.

Sachika quickly placed a hand on the side of her torso, she grits her teeth as a sharp pain rushed up against her side.
Damn! I think it's fractured from that last attack, Sachika chastised herself for underestimating Yuki. She knew that trying to play fair with Yuki from this point on wasn't going to hard, so she needed something that could give an advantage.
Looking down from her elevated position Sachika could see the bloodlust grin on Yuki's face. Sachika would be lying if she said that she wasn't the least bit scared upon seeing that all too familiar face.
"I'm not finished with you yet...Phantom Queen!" Yuki shouted out as she once again charged her prey.
As for Sachika, she braced herself for the incoming impact that she was about to receive.
"Is that even allowed?" Uli blurted out. Referencing the knee attack that Yuki did on Sachika.
"Oh yes, even killing your opponent is allowed" Ashina stated with a stoic expression. The younger students looked at her rathered shocked at the comment she made. She soon went back to her gleeful self when she realised what was happening.
She laughs, "What I mean is accidents like that can happen when the fighting gets heated"
The younger students set the gazes back upon the match that was taking place before them, many of them clearly unnerved by the comment that the student council president had made just moments ago.
Aiko, on the other hand, was deeply concerned for Sachika's safety, after all, it wasn't long ago that the two of them made a promise to certify a blood contract with one another. The last thing that Aiko wanted was to see Sachika get killed before her very eyes.
Please be careful Sachika, Aiko made a silent prayer to herself.

Sachika came to the conclusion that the best chance of her winning this match was to get in close, but be quick in her attacks so Yuki couldn't counter. Instantaneously Sachika charged straight towards Yuki, using her supernatural speed to close the gap between them.
At first, Yuki thought Sachika was going to try the same attack from before which gave her a false sense of confidence.
Her assumptions were soon proven wrong when Sachika suddenly changed her footing making Yuki's left side completely exposed to any attack.
Without hesitation, Sachika sent a flurry of jabs into Yuki's side torso making puncture wounds with her blade gauntlets as blood spurted out.
Yuki started to cough up blood as she fell to the floor. Upon hitting the floor Yuki stopped moving and in turn, Sachika stopped her attacks.
As Sachika moved towards Yuki, she concluded that she had won when all of a sudden Yuki jolted upwards striking with her clawed gauntlet. The attack severed Sachika's right leg as she screamed in pain and toppled over onto her side holding onto the leg that had been cut.
Tears started to gleam across Sachika's cheeks.
Yuki standing up albeit groggy from the attacks she had from her opponent just moments ago limped slowly over to her opponent. When standing over Sachika, Yuki knelt down shoving the former exposing their torso. Straddling her opponent Yuki proceeded to pummel in Sachika's torso with powerful punches.
The crowd sat there watching a cluster of fear and sympathy for Sachika who continued receiving punches to the torso from Yuki.
The look on Yuki's face wasn't that of satisfaction, it was more akin to hate and anger as she continued doing the same action.
After thirty seconds of beating in Sachika's torso, Yuki finally stopped. Sachika, on the other hand, looked almost dead even though her chest cavity was still intact, her nanotech suit was torn to pieces only leaving parts of it over her body. This also showed the blooded bruises across Sachika's torso.
As Yuki stood up grabbing Sachika by her remaining leg, she threw her across the floor leaving a bloodied and bruised Sachika in a heap on the floor in front of the whole arena.
The crowd just looked on, not knowing whether to cheer for the girl that one or sit there in silence after witnessing what they saw.
Yuki just turned around limping back to the staging area that she came from, while medics rushed to the aid of an injured Sachika.
Game Over!
The Victor...Yuki Urawa!
The robotic voice announced as Yuki exited the arena.
"I didn't mention this before Aiko..." Aiko looks to Ashina as the latter muttered her name quietly behind her "...but both Sachika and Yuki have a history...somewhat of a violent rivalry"
The duo watched Yuki as she started exiting the arena.
"Just be careful...about Yuki I mean" Ashina advised Aiko, the latter could tell that the student council president was serious with her stoic expression.
Aiko looked back at Yuki, the latter turned around spotting Aiko in the crowd. Yuki makes a pistol gesture towards Aiko while blowing a seductive kiss at her. In turn, this made Aiko fluster and feel a sudden chill go down her spine upon seeing Yuki direct that gesture towards her.
