Second times a Charm (Lex)

"All right!" Naoki exclaimed happily as he then put his poker card set down, three doves flying away from the set as well. "Just to make sure there was no hidden tricks up my sleeve." From there, the magician put up his hands from Hus lockets and slumped his left arm down to let his backpack slide down his left arm. This detatched him from his backpack and denied him access to his gun. Sure he did not plan to use the gun in the fight, but if the backpack were being tampered with too much, the gun might accidentally fire.

Naoki started off with a direct sort of approach, running towards the enemy and grabbing their arm. What he planned to do was grab the arm of Lex and jump as high as he could. He then would fall, but keep his grip on Lex's arm. Since his enemies arm isn't that long (Or.... I hope not at least) to be able to hang all the way to the ground, hopefully the arm drag would bring Lex down into a tumble. At the end of this, the both of them would be on the ground. If successful, the magician would jump onto Lex and start aiming a flurry of punches towards the face like kickboxers do. If the arm drag to the ground were to fail, Naoki would land on his back to cause minimal damage, but realistically, he would not be able to roll up onto his feet immediately. 

"WAIT!" Naoki exclaimed as everything froze in place as Lex was about to pull off the combo. "I'm thirsty." With that, everything remained still while Naoki walked away for a few seconds. After another minute or so, he came back with a paper cup in his hand. He drank the cup of water quickly and let out a gasp of relief. He moved back to the position he was in before with a smile and then everything went back to normal. "All right, continue." Naoki said.

Wow, the devastation between all of those blows? It was a miracle for him to be able to stand. His right wrist was screaming in pain as it had been spun, his stomach felt like it was on fire. However, that blow to the nexk, if someone were to actually aim for your neck, and they hit it, you probably deserved it. You are literally watching to blow come towards you, and luckily for him, he was able to arch his back just far enough to avoid a throat cut, but that did not mean he did not take any more damage. His defenses were so weak, it was hard to believe the devastation in all of them did not knock him out. Yet there he was, lying down on the ground with breath in him. There was still hope in him somehow to continue this fight. "Damn... That does hurt..." Naoki said as he coughed out blood and stood back onto his feet by using his arms to force his body up again. "I guess you deserve your role... But I can't back down like that."

With that, once he stood back up, he looked to his side to see a locker door. He slammed his left fist against it and forced it open and broke it. He quickly threw the piece of metal into the air and kicked it towards Lex, having it aim right for the head. He weakly, but quickly as possible ran again, this time the locker door acting as a cover. However the Locker door ended up, whether it hit or not, Naoki took the chance and slid under Lex and quickly stood back up, only to arch his stomach again and instead of attacking, he stumbled back and gripped his stomach. "Wow, you played quite a number."Naoki said, unable to attack. The only possible damage he could have inflicted was if the locker door hit. If not, well, he was going to have to try again.

"But... But... This is the... Only way... I know how to... Train..." Naoki gasped out loud as he tried to conserve the oxygen in his body. It was true though, fighting was not just to make him feel alive, but it granted him much more power than really any sort of weightlifting would do for him. Other people build him up, his friends, enemies, and even if he were to fight the pillars themselves, he would never pass up the chance. He remembered one time that he was able to beat Lex in battle if he thought hard enough, but since Naoki was slacking off in fights, he never bettered himself while Lex did exactly that. That's why he fought, and he would love to explain that to him if he were not going to cough out blood in the end or possibly faint. He leaned his shoulder against the lockers to rest himself. "I can't believe I let myself become so weak and pathetic..." Naoki said, half to himself and half to Lex. He die not want to rely on his gun anymore to survive, if he wants to get far in this school, he would have to play by the rules. Guns break those rules, so he can only train himself to become better. "I'll have to see the nurse again. Can i ask for help on getting there?" Naoki asked.
