"It seems that there are only the two of us left..."
"Well, this was normal, wasn't it? The others weren't too strong after all... no offense, Thor"
"..."
As the guy who wanted to fight Ogata said, after a few minutes, only the two of us were left standing in the ring. The others lay unconscious outside or inside it... only one or the other had the bad or good luck of being able to remain standing up and observe from outside the ring.
…Including Thor who decided to face that guy instead of me. I'd like to think he did it for something like companionship between us, but… he was probably more afraid of me than the other guy. That hurts me a bit, you know?
That aside, I quickly get into a fighting stance... the pressure that exuded from that man was enough to make me get a little more serious now. We stare at each other for a few seconds, and then I start to attack him.
After practicing a lot with the Ryozanpaku guys or experiencing other fights, I have realized that usually the one who takes the initiative and imposes his own fighting rhythm has a small advantage during the fight!
...This guy's defense was pretty good, none of my attacks manage to land in a significant area to deal much damage to him. In addition, he took advantage of every moment he had to counterattack with his own abilities! If I get distracted or lower my guard a bit, I would be the one who would end up receiving a bad blow!
"Wow... I'm a bit surprised you're so skilled at such a young age ... I can see that that guy has done a good job training you."
“… No, he hasn't. I told you, it couldn't be said that he and I are practically only acquaintances... "
“…Don't worry, I don't mean to lead my resentment towards his disciple. You can be calm"
"..."
…Really, why doesn't this guy listen to what other people say? What part of how I fight makes me Ogata's disciple?!
Now that I think about it... we both received teachings of almost the same guys... also, I must admit that my way of thinking was more in line with his thoughts than the Masters of Ryozanpaku! Unlike Kenichi, I don't have much of a problem attacking areas that are considered dangerous to hit… probably the only place I wouldn't hit on a man would be his crotch.
Although… while that was a bit out of sympathy for the other party, the main reason I avoided doing that was that I didn't want to touch another man's secret place!
Fuck! I really look like a disciple of that guy now that I realize this!!
…this sucks.
“Although… I'll probably have to be a little tougher than I thought, sorry about that. I'll have to get more serious to be able to defeat you "
"..."
This time he is the one who starts the attack after we finished this little discussion. Before it was more of a little confrontation to see each other's abilities, so things get more serious now.
I could feel the not lie in what he said! His punches and kicks were full of energy when he attacks me this time!!
" Haa!!"
[Crack!]
…I don't risk blocking his kick this time and quickly back off. Unlike my confrontation with the siscon-prince, this guy had much better control of his energy! So that even by blocking their hits, I still could receive enough damage!
This can be clearly seen by how his kick cracks the concrete tiles creating what looks like a small spider web where his kick lands!
So our situation is reversed and now I was the one on the defensive running through the ring while looking for an opportunity to attack. Sadly... this guy seemed to have quite a bit of battle experience and soon grasps my biggest disadvantage... my attack range!
…My body still couldn't be compared to that of an adult and therefore my arms and feet were much shorter than his! To take advantage of this, he stays at a medium distance to attack me while it was troublesome for me to do so!!
" Tch..."
" Haa!!"
[Crack!] [Crack!] [Crack!]
I could only take advantage of my speed and agility to keep dodging his blows while we keep ruining in the ring… well, as long as I stayed focused, it wouldn't be easy for him to hit me. So our cat-and-mouse game goes on for several minutes.
On the other hand, this was not as bad as it seemed. In a sense, I was the one looking to prolong this… instead of risking attacking and receiving a counterattack from him for getting too close, I was taking advantage of another of my body's advantages.
"Ha... Ha... you're pretty sneaky aren't you?"
"What's going on? Did you get tired so fast? "
"..."
While I was only using a little energy to maintain my speed, he had been spending it quite a bit. In addition, my energy core was bigger than one from a normal person and had the capacity to store a greater amount!
So when I see him gasp for breath, a big smile forms on my face. What I had been waiting for, finally happened. Now that he was tired, I could attack him with less concern than before!
" Kuuh!!"
Now it was my turn to attack him and I hit him with a fist filled with energy. He blocks it with his arms crossed, but his feet drag a couple of meters kicking up a bit of dust on their way...

Seeing that his movements had slowed down now that his body was heavier with exhaustion, I decided to end this! I continue behind him to keep attacking him!!
"... boy, I can't believe you forced me to do this!"
"..."
When I was a couple of meters away from him to hit this guy with all my might, the aura around him became more aggressive and I noticed that his energy began to focus on one of his hands… no, more precisely, on one of his fingers!
Then he attacks me with his index finger...
T-This sounded like a joke, but it wasn't at all! With the amount of energy focused on his finger if it landed on my body then it would penetrate it like paper! Also, it was too late to avoid his attack now!!
" Kuuh!!"
...somehow, I manage to prevent him from fingering me... damn, that sounds so bad! I manage to avoid him hitting me directly!! Even so, that managed to rub my shoulder and to open a laceration where my blood was draining... I quickly step back putting a distance between us.
"...so you also managed to evade that"
"Fuck! Where did go that of "not take my resentment to that man's disciple"?!"
"It's true... if you are a disciple of that man, then you should know this technique... after all, that's why he killed my master."
"Listen to what other people say!!"
…Well, he's right. The main reason I was able to avoid that technique is because it was one of the techniques I managed to get out of that guy and I knew this one very well... it was simpler than the other techniques I learn, but it seemed quite useful.
Damn… now if I use it, surely Ogata's disciple tag above my head will be in bold… well, I think it's too late to worry about that, so it's not that it matters much.
"Don't worry... I wasn't targeting a vital part"
"Fuck you! It's still pretty fucking that someone sticks a finger anywhere on your body… damn it! Why does that technique sound so bad? Now instead of pain... I feel dirty!! I shouldn't have learned that technique!! "
"..."
Well ... when I learned the technique before it didn't seem so strange... the problem is probably in being the one who receives it! Also, as long as what happens in a fight is not taken out of context, then there should be no problem… probably.
…Damn, I shouldn't have spent so much time with Kenichi! Now I've been infected with being in situations or talking about things that can be misinterpreted!
"We better get this over with quickly... I don't want to end up being finger-... hit by that technique."
…Not only because of how bad that sounded, but the most important thing is that it looked quite painful!
I could only push him even harder to keep him from concentrating and easily using that technique… it didn't matter if at the cost of finishing this quickly I received some blows from him!
With that thought in mind, I charge him again.
That man tries to use that technique again, but not being taken by surprise it was not that difficult to evade. I just had to pay a little more attention to his hands… besides, I still needed to show my own special move!
When I see that he tried to attack me again with the index finger of his right hand, this time I meet him directly with my fist...
[Boom!]
" Guahhhh!!!"
…Then, when my fist and his finger meet, his whole arm is thrown backward! His finger… no, his whole hand was now in pretty bad shape because of my technique [Futae No Kiwami]!!
" Kuuu!!"
Either from the pain or the surprise that I had broken his technique, he was totally disoriented. Of course, I was not so merciful to miss the moment when he had completely lowered his guard... I dug my elbow into his abdomen, and immediately with a karate-style kick in the air I hit him in the face with the outside of my foot.
"..."
So when he lands in the ring after rolling a few times, he was no longer moving. It was something certain, now he should be unconscious.
" Fuuu~"
“…t-the fight is over! The winner is the participant no. **** !!"
[Objective -Advancing from the preliminaries - completed]
After sighing, the referee who had been watching everything so far approaches the man, and immediately after confirming my suspicions, he makes the announcement of my classification to the next round just like the system does it in my head!
[… Didn't you say that you would be a good person and would prevent Ogata from killing him or crippling him? I think his arm may have been unusable after that...]
"..."
---------------------------
---------------------------
(POV Kushinada )
"Good job moving on to the next round, Chikage. "
"…Yes"
After she defeated the last person she had to fight, we were heading towards where Alexander should be. Even though it seems like a misunderstanding before… she didn't look happy about meeting him.
...She continued to have some misgivings about approaching him.
I would like the two of them to get along, after all, now that I haven't blocked my emotions, I was trying to consider Chikage as my only family. So, maybe it would have been good if the two of them had a more intimate relationship... from what Alexander told me, he had several women and it would be nice to have someone else on my side... we both could support each other against the other girls.
"Oh, it looks like he just finished too."
We arrived a few moments before the referee of this arena announced the end of the fight. There were no surprises, as I thought, Alexander was the last one standing in the place. To be honest, I don't think there is any disciple here who could be a challenge for him… this man from before was perhaps someone who could have caused trouble for him, but now he was on the ground unconscious.
"It was a splendid fight... Kukuhahaha!"
"..."
Since the fight was over, Ogata and the weird guy who was just watching his sword approach Alexander just like us. Curiously, despite the compliments of the first, he did not look very happy for that and gave him a reproachful look...
Also, when it seemed that he was going to get out of the ring, he stops for a moment, seems to think something, and then he returns to where the defeated man was.
...after writing a few things on paper, put two pills there. Out of curiosity, I observe what it says and when reading the message it just confuses me a little more...
[You can't complain… "I don't attack a vital place". The pills will help you to heal the wounds completely, so make sure you take them when you wake up... maybe also can reduce you pain in the arm.
PS: You no longer have to worry about Ogata, I can assure you that I will send him to another world and he will not cause any other problems]
"" ... ""
Everyone here is silent when they see the content of the message… ah! Chikake is shaking again...
