- At the training ground -
I hate it that It came to this. I wanted things to be peaceful between me and junior brother. In the end I had no choice but to ask him for a duel.
I need to win this fight no matter what. That’s the only way I’ll surpass Kavi. Just you wait Kavi… I’ll definitely learn new martial arts and surpass you. I’ll make sure of it.
“Junior brother Kori, let's give it our best.”
Damn it. I can’t use my aura this early. I have no choice other than to fight without aura. This will be tough. But my body is in better shape than yesterday. It cks strength compared to senior brother Ryuk but it is faster and lighter. I’ll use my speed to defeat him as soon as possible.
“Senior brother, can I say you something.”
“Say what’s on your mind without hesitation.”
“As you know, as a junior my aura training just started st year but you have trained your aura for two more years than me.
So it would be unfair to me as the fight drags on.”
“I understand. No problem, I can fight you without using my..”
“That’s not what I’m asking senior brother. You can use your aura but the fight will end as soon as one of us nds three successful hits.”
He’s openly challenging me to use my aura. As expected of my junior brother, I’ll make sure to make you teach me that martial art by winning this fight.
“As you say junior brother. The first one to nd three hits will be the winner.”
That’s great. Now I won’t have to worry about using aura. I’ll dodge his attacks and the more aura he’ll use, the faster he’ll feel exhausted. Then…
He’s attacking first. Right Punch. Easy dodge.
He’s fast but not as fast as senior brother Kavi. I just need to keep dodging till he starts to feel tired.
Left punch. Duck.
Rotating Kick. Move back.
Yes, just like that, no need to attack yet. My body is keeping up with his movements.
“Stop dodging and attack me.”
That's right. He’s getting agitated. I don’t remember much about brother Ryuk from my past life but from the interaction in the food hall I can tell he is too rigid of a person.
If I don’t fight back he’ll get annoyed and start using more of his aura.
“Don’t think that sneaking around will make you the winner, junior brother.”
Why isn’t he attacking? I heard he can use two martial arts but he isn’t even using his aura. His physique is more agile than mine. In that case I’ll have to just overpower him with strength.
“Junior brother, I'm going to attack using my aura now. If you don’t use yours, you’ll get hurt.”
Deja-vu?
Here he comes. Straight punch. I can dodge.
No It was a faint. Left kick. Need to block.
“Thudd!”
“Aww..”
What was that he didn’t put much strength into it but it hurts the same as getting hit by Seven Trinity. No to mention the g effect…
“I warned you, junior brother.”
My body isn’t compatible with the Seven Trinity. At the age of six, monks told me even if I can learn the Seven Trinity, my body won’t be able to reach the same growth as brother Kavi. I have always looked up to him, but all I want is to surpass him no matter what.
Instead of Seven Trinity I learned a different martial technique called Phantasm. It deys the effect of attack because I don’t just use my aura to strengthen the body, I also exert my aura to the attack location to make a dual impact.
“That’s one hit, junior brother.”
This isn’t good. I need to think about this differently, his martial art isn’t anything like I have previously seen. What if he can do the same attack without any contact? Blocking would be meaningless then. I’ll have to dodge everything from now on.
Left kick. Duck down.
Straight punch. Move back.
Combo. Straight punch. Move back. Rotating kick. Duck down.
Here, Now’s my chance. I’ll attack with an upper punch.
“Thudd!!”
“Yes!”
It connected. I was able to punch his face.
“This is good junior brother!”
Ominous!
- Moves back -
He did nd a punch but he didn’t put much strength into it. He also didn’t use any aura. Just what is he pnning?
“I’ll go all out now, junior brother!”
What was that ominous energy coming from him? I need to end this quickly before he overpowers me.
I’ll dash directly into him with a combo.
Straight punch. He dodged.
Then lower kick. He jumped.
Now. Full strength upward punch.
“Cp!!!”
Damn it he blocked. Move back…
“Fwoosh”
What. He’s fast. He’s finally using his full strength.
“Watch out for this one junior brother!
Phantasm - Five Step - Full Acceleration”
“Thud!!”
“That’s two!!!”
No. I need to move back quickly.
“And for the st one. Ahhhhhh!!!!”
That is its senior brother. Severance Jump without aura!!!
“What! He jumped! Too high!”
And now. Uzumaki - First Mid Air Kick - Without aura
“Thud!!”
With the Severance jump I was able to jump double compared to yesterday. Uzumaki kick is great in these situations to nd multiple rotating kicks.
“Now. We’re even senior brother!”
Wait. I didn’t imagine that, did I? He jumped more than my height. How is that possible? And that kick. That was amazing. He could have nded another attack if I didn’t move back in time.
That is it. If it's him, I can surely defeat brother Kavi in no time.
“Excellent! Junior brother. I would expect nothing less from my future teacher!”
It’s getting exciting.
“Tck..”
Did he just say future teacher. I won’t let that happen in a million years. What’s up with that creepy smile? I need to nd the next one without getting hit.
“Here I come! junior brother!”
That’s it one st hit for my future growth! With all my strength!!!
“Phantasm - Multi Step Zig-Zag”
He’s moving differently. Focus. Focus. Left. Right. Left. Right.
Now here he comes.
“Phantasm Style - Trinity palm”
Left. Dodge.
He’s dashing starlight. Move back.
Left again. No, it's faint. Duck! Duck! Duck….
Yes. I managed to dodge his attack now’s the right time. Left hand on the ground and…
“Seven Trinity Reverse - Handstand Kick”
“Cp!”
Damn! He blocked it. Need to make distance between us.
“Where are you going junior brother?
With this one, you’ll become my teacher…”
Never!!! You considerate jerk..
“Fwoosh”
- Touches his fist and jumps over him -
I managed to dodge that but I’m running out of stamina. At this rate he’ll win in no time.
“Brilliant! Junior Brother. Now dodge this.”
Damn it! He’s coping my attack. Then’ll just have to…
Duck and go with a lower kick - Uzumaki Style!
“Phantasm Reversal”
Wait, that was… Impressive! He put his aura in left leg and right arm. He immediately reversed his entire body and the attack to dodge my kick.
There’s no other way to describe it. It’s freaking impressive!!!
Wait, this is not the time to admire. I have to…
“You let your guard down junior brother!”
“Thud!”
“Kori! Kori! Wake up Kori…”
Deja-vu?
“What happened? Why am I on the ground?”
“You passed out from the st attack from senior brother.”
“Wait! Who is that and why is our senior brother…”
