Astrovoid Shower- Celestial University Book 2: A Bully Romance

Chapter 45: Dragon Insecurities

Over the weeks, the Shadow Brawlers got the jist of the major changes. The first spouses were going around giving them suggestions on working with their element and trying to keep thing peaceful, and given the lack of Voids attacks, it seems it'd be working.

Sehki learned what Lorena was talking about. Depending on the day, their new principal mandated physical education exercises with and without the use of their StellArts.

The Rising Twelve were attempting to make themselves the top students on campus while the Nuckelherd were just proving themselves to be playing nice, getting extremely aggressive for any combat scenario. Sehki ducked from a blast of advanced fixed training Pyralis sat at.

And smaller assignments were being made daily. Though Sehki found it easier to catch up, Lorena was getting frequent calls from Kayla and Delphine about coming back to House Poseidon, begging to help tutor her.

"What about Nyla," resulted in them hearing her snore via the speaker function.

Sehki went out to visit Damien, though his powers seemingly started acting up out of nowhere, until a sound got him to swing, spotting what looked like a fly that expanded into a fae body.

"Rat?"

"It's Paleun to you," flying out to punch him in the face which he tried pushing off. He shrunk and tunneled into the ground, flying in and out the ground. Sehki punched the earth for a dark shockwave to blast him out, but before he could strike, a compass beneath him spun him away in time.

"Hyuga," picking himself up, spotting Rubin from far away, recording.

Trying to make me look bad or frame me for starting? Fine, I can handle a one v two.

He leapt up to strike Hyuga from above like before but Paleun tackled his shadow, prompting him to spin him to the ground before the former showed off his new ability to launch wind blasts from his Byxis spins blowing him back.

So I have to stop Hyuga from moving and Paleun's tunneling? The tree, that's it!

He shot fire and wind at the same time to create a mirage, tunneling his shadow into Paleun's holes, using the smoke to uppercut him in the air. Hyuga's compass spin reduced the smoke but Sehki threw the Rat into the Dragon as he stopped, grabbing the former and throwing him over to Rubin.

Hyuga recovered, about to activate his StellArt when his limbs stopped working. Sehki grinned, holding him through the tree's shade.

"Game over," making a wave to cover his feet.

As it reached up, Hyuga dropped a gauntlet onto his feet that horrified him.

That's the same type of design as the Switches. "Wait Hyuga, don't use that!"

"I won't lose to you anymore! Dragon Evolution!"

Hyuga's neck and bones snapped, viscerally growling and garnering sharp scales with a dragon's mouth. A constellation shined across his body far different than Draco, blowing Sehki's shadow straight off him and stepping to him with a double handed strike.

In place of his normal Byxis spells, Hyuga struck him every second he hand with rant after rant, while Sehki tried to get adjusted to the speed and power compared to the medium between DeVoid Taylor and Luminite.

"Holy Dragon."

"Because of you and your family, my family was hurt! Our king and princess are imprisoned!" He punched Sehki in each sentence, fully wrapped as Victory Rider Shadow. "Our queen is sick! And we've had to quell the fear and panic you and the lion's accusations caused!"

Sehki processed each word, now having a good idea on what it was like since the Celestial Siege for Saiban as guilt compelled him to take Hyuga's pain as understandable. An outlet for his pain, his people's pain.

Hyuga summoned another Byxis sphere to punch it, shooting a gatling revolver of fist shaped wind attacks shooting Sehki further back and forth.

"All you've done is cause nothing but suffering for everyone here!" He was smashed into the wall face first while Hyuga jumped back, preparing himself to end this.

"YOU COULD DIE RIGHT NOW AND NO ONE WOULD MISS YOU!"

With a knee, he sank Sehki's body before he punch back, on the floor, scratching the dirt to get up with his armor off.

"Funny, I tell myself every day! But," thinking of both his families and his friends, "I guess I have to prove both of us wrong," picking himself back up, wheezing.

"THEN DIE LIKE EVERYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD WANTS YOU TOO," winding back his fists about to skewer them.

"THEN I'LL FIGHT THE WORLD," waving a shield to push his armored hand away, coating just his limbs and giving him a brutal kick to the neck. "LIKE I ALWAYS HAVE!"

He waved both hands, energizing his constellations, juggling Hyuga with a series of upper, straight, and high kicks, slaps, and fists, pouring wind into a upward kick launching him in the air.

Sehki continued hitting him upwards, kicking his arms so he couldn't activate his StellArts and blocking his violent leg swings with defensive arm chops until they were high enough, surrounding Hyuga's limbs black fangs in place.

Hyuga attempted to control his movements, combining Dragon and Byxis StellArts into a magnetic whirl, but Sehki latched onto all of his limbs, forcing further spinning and propelling them headfirst towards the ground.

"Wilting Lotus!" He jumped away Hyuga a second before smashing him into the pavement, flipping onto the floor, where Hyuga struggled to get up. The Dragon's Constellation flickered as he fell down, coughing as his weapon's energy dissipated.

Tired, hurt, and filled with guilt, he reached out, but got denied.

"All that training and I still can't beat you!?"

"Hyuga, how did you-" interrupted by a figure who injected something into Hyuga.

Sehki ran after the person, but they weren't in the corridor, and the Twelve heroes vanished immediately, while he stood alert.
