Percy's PoV
"Well?"
Celaena was leaning against the wall with her six-pack showing and gloves on.
"Yeah, let's do it."
Celaena gets up, and I do the same on the other end, my own abs clenched. Annabeth was spectating on the side.
"Go!"
I rushed in and went for her face, but she dodged easily and swung at me. I moved out of the way, but she followed with a hard blow to my side.
I could feel the shock resonate from my obliques to the rest of my body, as I slammed into the wall. She began delivering a combo, first at my face, then my six-pack, my body feeling like it was on fire.
I got out a swing and it hit her square in the jaw, leaving a red mark. I continued to pressure her, getting two more good hits off at her now red abs. She got that enraged face I knew all too well, and then she rammed her fist into my abs. I groaned at the pain, and then she punched my chin, then kicked my gut. I tried to retaliate, hitting her jaw again, but she continued to beat my toned six-pack until I couldn't even try to clench them, and then she delivered one final blow, knocking me out.
When I came to, Annabeth was squatting over me. Celaena was in the corner, wiping blood off her knuckles. I could barely sit up to see my bruised abs were bleeding.
"You should stop." Annabeth said.
"No, she's the only one who can beat me. I want to train with her."
Celaena's PoV
I met Percy again today. He's an okay partner, I guess. Too predictable, but when he hits you, it hurts. Not sure if his abs have recovered from yesterday. We'll see.
Percy's already here, and yep, his six-pack is still red. Oh well, let's go.
Percy gets up, and rushes towards me. I do the same, swinging for his jaw.
He dodges it, and pummels my abs. I hold firm, though, and bash him on his skull. He stops to kick me out of the way, but I knee his abs and his gut goes slack. I punch his six-pack once, twice, three times, then kick him, and I see him bleeding again.
Just as I was going to punch him again, he pulls out a sword, and slashes towards me. I dodge out of the way, but it still skims my side, opening a gash on my obliques.
I snarl and punch him on the jaw, and before he can swing at me, I punch him in the gut again and take his sword, throwing it away. I begin beating his abs, but his six-pack holds firm. I kick his face, and he stumbles back, but then he grabs onto me and knees my own six-pack.
I begin choking as he hits me again and again, but I kick him and he releases. I grab him back and kick away from him, then punch his six-pack and his sides again and again until he crumples to the floor again, his abs bleeding. I turn around, but then he gets up and kicks me. I almost lose my balance, but stay upright, until he punches the back of my head and I fall to the floor. He turned me around and began pummeling my six-pack until it too was bleeding, but I held firm and punched him in the abs. He fell to the floor the second time, and I kicked his six-pack again and again until he began choking, then I stopped. I wiped the blood off my body, and left him, my abs and head and back feeling like they were on fire. He put up a good fight this time.
