Drake and Nico were in it for each other, at first Drake was at a disadvantage, unable to react and counter Nico's fast kick's. But the longer they fought Nico couldn't believe that Drake slowly gained the upper hand in their fight, even so Drake managed to copy his techniques which Nico honed since middle school in order to catch up to him. The genius in their generation, Drake used the move which Nico used on him to put an end to their fight.
Every gaze expanded in astonishment, unable to comprehend what unfolded before them. Especially the Riverdale, which they thought that no executives on their side would be lost in this fight. But Drake proved his title The Genius not only to Riverdale but also to this third generation, by beating one of their executives. The fight only lasted for 25 minutes, the 8 minutes was where Drake, unable to even get close to Nico much less landed a punch. And another 15 minutes where Drake successfully copied his techniques and gained time mastering it, and it took only 2 minutes for Drake to finally put an end to their fight.
Nico, the fifth executive of Riverdale, is now lying on the ground unconscious. Drake was now also out of gas and couldn't fight anymore so he just sat there  besides Nico's unconscious body in silence. While Xander who was battling Ethan gazed upon Drake and Nico lying on the ground, with his astonishment at Drake and disdain towards their ally Nico. Xander wants to recruit Drake after all of this is done and the war is over, planning to kick out Nico in the executives saying that he lost and doesn't fit to be one. Ethan was trying to capitalize on Xander who was lost in thought and having his gaze focused on Drake, using his boxing. But all of Ethan's fist and strike landed in the air, as Xander easily weaved and avoided all of it, all while not even looking at Ethan.
Ethan was furious to be looked down on, Xander was not even looking at him but directly avoided all of his punches.
“Where are you looking, bastard!” Ethan shouted, while throwing up a straight punch.
“Shh, shut up I'm thinking about something.” Xander replies, as he avoids it and counters Ethan's punch again.
Ethan was taken aback from the counter and he took a step back upon impact. Xander also uses boxing, the only difference was Ethan was a full pledge orthodox boxer and going by the book. While Xander was unorthodox so his footsteps and punches are alien or out of the generalized boxing sports. And Xander boxing being unorthodox was unpredictable, Ethan footsteps are always overlapping with Xander. That's why Ethan couldn't gain the upper hand in their fight, and even so Ethan didn't feel like Xander was going all out, Xander was just toying with him.
Everytime Ethan tried to use his boxing on Xander it was deemed useless and he was struck and Xander countered every move. Bruises and blood were all over Ethan's face, but still his eyes didn't show any intentions to back down from their fight. Ethan was determined to land at least one solid punch that he honed for so many years, to ultimately put an end to his fight with Xander. Ethan in his younger years had shown a talent for boxing, his father noticed it and he always brought him to the gym to practice. So at an early age Ethan was fond of doing the thing that he loved and he always beat any opponent in a sparring match.
It goes on until Ethan was in his middle school years, he was still actively participating in any amateur boxing contest or when it had a contest in his school. Ethan still stayed undefeated at the gym for sparring matches, and even at the contest he joined he won all of it. To the point that the people in the gym and teachers and classmates in his middle school started to call him “The Champ”. Ethan was once a prospective boxer that was expected to be a national champion, and mold to fight for the world class title in boxing. But a certain incident happened to Ethan, that led him astray to his goals, that he became a hooligan and a gangster at Nyx school.
But still Ethan had an ultimate punch that he honed for so long, a punch that if thrown is capable and can one shot any opponent. He discovered it at the gym accidentally, when he tried to punch the punching bag with all his might and power behind it using his left, a left hook. And upon impact the punching bag blew up into pieces, and so after that Ethan always practiced it since then, but to a tree. And everytime he does, a mark of Ethan fist will be present in the tree, and it will have a big chunk missing on it. But it can only be used once, and after that he would be incapable of fighting anymore, so he never used it in a fight as it was not practical enough.
And now Ethan was desperate to win the fight he had right now with Xander. So he patiently waited for the right time to finally throw it. But with Xander's footsteps and unorthodox boxing style, an opportunity is not yet present for him to use it. And also the speed Xander showed, Ethan was afraid that Xander could've easily avoided it. The chance for Ethan to land the punch was close to zero, so he bore all of Xander's beatings waiting for the right time to strike.
And on the other hand, Jarred and Jazon were still fighting but the favor was still to Jazon of Riverdale. Jarred couldn't still land a solid hit upon Jazon, he was outclassed by both sheer strength and power. Jarred was basically thrown everywhere, blood and sweat were dripping all over his body by the constant impact of his body landing unto the walls. But Jarred had good stamina and endurance, so he endured all of it. But the way things were going he would undoubtedly reach his limit some time now.
All while the fight of Vin and Liam, which were originally in favor of Vin, were now gained by Liam again. Although Vin successfully punched and grappled Liam to the ground, Liam with his bat constantly banging his head made Vin weaken his submission to Liam. Liam then took the chance as Vin grips loosened and kicked him straight in his stomach. That made Vin take a step back, as Liam slowly stood up again. And now Liam with his weapon was now aware of Vin's technique, and was now much more cautious in handling him. While Vin was also almost out of breath and can be seen from his expression, from the constant weapon impact to his head and Liam's kicks to his body.
Despite the heavy rain the war between the school was still raging on, while Nyx was slowly approaching to fetch his umbrella and slippers he left at his school. The distance to Nyx school and his house was quite far, around two and a half hours by normal walking. And since it was raining he ran and occasionally took cover to avoid being fully wet and getting sick. All while Leo is also heading to the old factory Chris mentioned, Chris said that their friend was held captive by the Riverdale school leader Blade.
