Part-168

Alex's eyes widened in surprise. He hadn't expected such a swift response. The sight of so many students, all armed with belts and ready to fight, filled him with a sense of dread.

James and his friends exchanged relieved glances. Their plan had worked. They had successfully summoned their backup.

The Judo Club members rushed forward, their faces filled with determination. They formed a protective circle around James, Ryan, and Sourov, their stances ready for combat.

Alex smirked at the sight of so many people. "Ah, how shameless," he said, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "You've gathered all your heavy hitters to take us on."

He then laughed and added, "Do you really think they can take down the tough guys I've assembled?"

Hearing this, James stepped forward, his face filled with determination. "Let's settle this one-on-one," he challenged. "Show me what Taekwondo is all about."

Alex's smile widened. "Gladly," he replied, his voice filled with confidence.

The two of them stepped forward, their eyes locked in a silent battle of wills. The crowd watched with bated breath, their excitement building.

James took a deep breath, his body tensing. He was facing a formidable opponent, but he was determined to win. With a swift movement, he launched a powerful punch at Alex's face.

Alex easily dodged the attack, his movements fluid and graceful. He countered with a kick to James's leg, but James managed to block it.

As the crowd's anticipation grew, James decided to up the intensity. He feinted with a quick jab, then followed up with a powerful uppercut aimed directly at Alex’s chin. The force behind the punch made Alex stagger slightly, but he quickly recovered, his eyes narrowing in focus.

Alex responded with a rapid series of kicks, showcasing his mastery of kickboxing. A roundhouse kick whizzed past James’s head, followed by a low sweeping kick aimed at his legs. James barely managed to leap over the sweep, his heart pounding as he realized just how skilled Alex was.

Determined not to back down, James stepped in closer, delivering a sharp slap across Alex’s face. The unexpected move caught Alex off guard, momentarily disrupting his rhythm. Seizing the moment, James executed a quick finger jab aimed at Alex’s throat, but Alex managed to twist away just in time, the attack narrowly missing its mark.

Alex’s expression darkened as he launched into a counterattack, unleashing a flurry of punches and kicks that forced James onto the defensive. A well-placed knee strike to James’s side made him wince in pain, but he quickly retaliated with a solid right hook, connecting with Alex’s ribs.

The two fighters were locked in a fierce exchange, each trying to outmaneuver the other. Alex attempted a spinning back kick, but James sidestepped it and delivered another uppercut, this time connecting squarely with Alex’s jaw.

Undeterred, Alex spun around and delivered a powerful sidekick to James’s midsection, sending him stumbling back a few steps. James gritted his teeth, refusing to give in, and lunged forward with a combination of quick jabs and another slap that landed with a resounding smack.
