The Clash of the Hunters

---------------------------------------------------------

Again, you and Tanahashi found yourselves staring up and down at each other, respectively.

You were absolutely battered by the battle you had with the refugees of Raxus. Tanahashi hadn't even broken a sweat, against you anyway. All the dashing around the city left him with the slightest bit of fatigue.

In Tanahashi's eyes, you saw the same focused look from earlier. Even though you were badly damaged and exhausted, he still looked at you with the same intense eye.

In your eyes, Tanahashi saw the same amount of confidence from before. Even after everything that you took, you still believed you could beat him.

.....

Tanahashi was the first to move again. He reached into his duster with his right arm, to pull out the assault rifle hidden underneath again.

You reacted quickly this time, and by the time the entire rifle was out, you were right in front of Tanahashi.

He aimed the gun at you, and from how close you two were, the barrel was almost touching your chest.
That didn't seem to bother you at all.

Your hand was gripping the barrel of the rifle. You had grabbed at the same moment that it came to a stop pointing right at you.

Before Tanahashi could even pull the trigger, you used your quirk.

You applied a little pressure on the barrel, and it was crushed by your hand.

Youe eyes darted up to Tanahashi's, and he stared back at you with the same look in his eyes, unfazed by what just happened.

The two of you stood in that position for one second, then Tanahashi struck again.

His left fist flashed forward to punch you in the face. You moved your whole body backward, narrowly avoiding his attack.
That punch was to set you up for his leg sweep at your feet. Your difference in size forced him to move you farther away to drop you effectively.

You used your quirk to fuse your feet to the ground, making that attack useless.

You let go of the barrel of the gun to start striking at him with your fists. He used the rifle in his hand to block your attempts. With how much pressure you were putting on him, he pushed you back, rather easily, with just his left hand.

In the second it took for you to get back into striking distance, Tanahashi flicked his right wrist at an angle. At the same time, he let go of the rifle. He had flicked his wrist with so much force that the gun spun around in the air, and he grabbed the front grip again, the stock now facing forward.

That gave his arm even more range to attack you with, and would be even more devastating to be hit by.

Sure enough, you found yourself blocking the butt of the gun as it jabbed into you. It still hurt, you were throwing your arms in front of the more vital parts of your body that Tanahashi aimed for.
