Soul Evolution System - Chapter 436 Kenichi World Tournament 23
———————————–
(POV Alexander – A few minutes before Fortuna’s arrival)
“Boy, why don’t you become my disciple? Your talent is the best I’ve seen, so I’m sure you can take my martial art to new heights! The [Jihan Radin Tidat] will be recognized as the best martial art among all others! There will be no doubt about that!! ”
“…”
After exchanging a few movements between us, the little man in the mask stops to then tell me that. The emotion that showed in his eyes increased with each word that came out of his mouth… I could almost see his eyes sparkle as he watched me!
W-Whaah~ Although I don’t see any perversion in his gaze, that he looked at me with those eyes was still quite uncomfortable… certainly no man with normal sexual preferences would want another man to look at him with such desire!
Well… the emotion of this man was sure because he saw in me the power to fulfill one of his wishes, to bring the martial art he practiced to the top of this world. I do not understand it very well, but for many Masters in this world that was one of their most longed-for wishes, that their martial art to be recognized as the best one.
…Maybe it has something to do with the pride they have towards their own martial art. I think even the Ryozanpaku guys don’t are exempted from having some similar thoughts.
As for me, the truth is that I did not feel that need for my martial art to be recognized over the other disciplines… it may be because I practice various styles or simply because I do not have a genuine heart of a martial artist. As long as something is useful to me, I don’t care if others think it is useful, useless, good, or bad.
Therefore, this man’s suggestion was not so bad… I have experienced firsthand how lethal that martial art could be! It was even more aggressive than normal Mue Tai… it was at the level of the secret techniques of this discipline!!
“Sorry… although it seems like an interesting offer, I must decline it. You crossed my bottom line… so it would be even more annoying for me to learn from you than to take some advice from Akisame again. ”
“…”
Yes, there is no doubt that it would not be bad to learn a little of that martial art, but … unfortunately, this man had hurt Shigure! I couldn’t forgive him so simply!! The fury that burned in my stomach did not diminish even a little during all this time!! No, rather I felt that it continued to increase just by seeing this guy and talking to him!!
Besides… honestly, it wasn’t that necessary for me to learn his martial art. If you think about it, any discipline has pretty lethal moves, only Masters like the Ryozanpaku try not to use them contrary to this person who does not hesitate to use all the lethal movements of his martial art.
… The proof of that was the style of Mue Thai that I recently learned from Apa. Like I said, this one didn’t lose much with his movements.
“It’s a shame… really a great shame.
If you can’t bring my martial art to the top of this world, then that only makes you a hindrance… hehehe, maybe if I show you more seriously this one you might change your mind. ”
“…”
…the pressure of his aura and the killing intent of this man becomes even heavier… it seems that he really intended to fight totally seriously now! A bad feeling that runs up my spine in the form of a chill tells me that now I should be much more careful or I could lose my life before I even know it!!
[Bam!] [Bam!] [Bam!]
Following the warning of my instincts, I decide not to keep anything to fight against this Master of Yami! I remove from my storage my two large-caliber pistols that I had not used in a long time and start firing at him!
“Hehehe, hey, hey boy~ Where is your pride as a martial artist? Why do you suddenly pull out firearms~? ”
“I’m sorry… my Masters forgot to instill that in me”
“”Lie!! Your head was the one that didn’t seem to record those things when we talked to you about them !!””
“…”
Fuck, how do those guys have time to pay attention to our discussion? Their fights don’t seem to be easy this time, so they should pay more attention to themselves!!
Anyway… ignoring those voices, I continued to fire at my opponent. Thanks to my weapons, I was able to prevent him from getting close to me… really this time I was a little worried about facing him!
Well… if I were to receive only kicks or blows from him, I would not feel so apprehensive about this. My main fear was that one of those ruthless attacks from him targeting my crotch would succeed!! There were still several girls whom I have to take their virginity from!! Also, I want to keep doing it with all of them for a long time!!
…And to fulfill that wish of mine, I need my partner to remain intact!! Seriously, I would rather have my head ripped off from my shoulders than my crotch!! I don’t want to be a eunuch!!
With my weapons I managed to keep this Master at a distance from me… but it was a shame that this was the only thing I got! Maybe at the level we are at now, a weapon is still quite dangerous but … hitting with this one was a problem!
The guy in the mask looked like a monkey jumping from one side to another dodging the bullets… he understood very well how to counter the power of firearms that could only shoot linearly. Although… I can’t consider him very surprising, most Masters should be able to accomplish similar things.
…But when I say he looked like a monkey, in truth this man was like a monkey! His little figure even jumped from one wall to another changing from buildings to buildings!! Fuck… that was more surprising! He seemed to be able to walk on walls like a certain superhero in a red and blue suit… he wouldn’t shoot sticky white stuff at me, right?
[Boom boom boom!!]
“Hehehe, dangerous ~ Dangerous ~”
Maybe if I took out a weapon with a higher rate of fire things would improve, but instead, I decided better to go for even better things and start throwing BIMs at this bastard trying to make him fly in the air or get sucked into a small black hole.
Even with that, he manages to avoid the greatest damage from the explosions… it is the surroundings where we fought that are most affected. There was no doubt that this master’s instinct and abilities were on par with the Ryozanpaku elder…
When I started using BIM against him, quickly stop trying to maintain a distance and he tried to shorten the range between us… it was logical that if I was a few meters from him it would be difficult to use these since I would also be involved in the effects.
So to counteract this, I could only intersperse between the use of my guns and the BIMs while maintaining a status quo in the situation. If it were a normal situation and things stayed that way, I was confident of coming out victorious… I had more than enough ammo and BIMs to last a few hours like this! Surely the first to end up exhausted would be him!!
…It is a great misfortune that this was not a normal situation! I was quite worried about the side effects by the time the benefits of the pills I took earlier would wear off!
Also, I could see that the guys I left earlier started fighting other Masters!! Mostly I was worried about Shigure who was fighting someone else even though she was previously injured!!
The only good thing was that at least Renka-chan, Miu-chan, and the other boys seemed to be winning against that Master… the only problem was the possibility that yet another Master would unite against them! That wasn’t impossible, we didn’t know how many Yomi members were still around.
…For those reasons I couldn’t just go on with the way I was fighting this man, I had to force myself to take more risks… even though I really didn’t want to!
“Ha… ha… what’s up boy? Did you run out of those strange bombs? ”
“Ha … ha … no, the truth is that I still have enough, we can play for a long time… or so I would like to say, but I also have problems of my own.”
With no other alternative, I keep my guns in my storage and also stop throwing out BIMs. In doing so, instead of taking the opportunity to attack me quickly, that man takes this as a second break from our fight.
Looking at it, I can’t say that my previous efforts were totally useless… he no longer used the mask that he had on his face previously, and he also had several light wounds on some parts of his body.
He had a much younger face than I thought… at first glance, he didn’t look much different from my age or from the other Shinpaku boys. But, I was sure that this man was not someone young and instead was a man of quite an older age just like the elder of the Ryozanpaku.
That could be distinguished by his voice and that… under his face, his neck had the wrinkles of an older person. Was the rest from his body probably the same? Although it is difficult to know since his movements are not what you would expect from an old man.
…Well, there is the Ryozanpaku elder who you cannot put on the same standards as people his age. And this man is not much different in abilities than him!
Perhaps his martial art helped him maintain a young face, and that of the old man a young body. Maybe Kushinada’s discipline wins out over both of them since she had both a jovial body and face… and I have taken my time to check this in detail!! So I can assure you that her technique beats those two.
Well, putting those things aside, now just only can go back to having a direct fight with him to try and end this now…
“…Let’s get this over with”
“Oh~ You seem quite motivated now, boy ~ It’s too bad you didn’t consider my previous suggestion… reconsider this one, boy.”
“No, there is nothing to reconsider…”
“…”
As we exchange a few more words, I begin to remove the top of my clothes. That included the chainmail Shigure had given me earlier. No, I don’t have a habit of exhibitionism… nor do I feel like doing so will suddenly make me stronger if you’re wondering.
Well… Shigure’s chainmail is a bit heavy, so it may help to increase my speed a little bit at the cost of being more unprotected, but… honestly, I don’t think it makes much of a difference just getting rid of a couple of Kilograms of on my body now.
The reason for this was simply a plan of mine… a plan that I really wish I could avoid! Unfortunately, I was beginning to feel that the effects of the pills I took before were starting to lose their effectiveness! I no longer had a choice!!
“A pity ~ A pity indeed ~! Now I have no choice but to kill you, boy !! ”
“…fu ~”
After prompting him to attack, Yomi’s Master charged towards me at great speed. Although I don’t want to admit it, I must be grateful for having fought with the old man before. Besides, our fight so far with him also helped me a lot! At the very least, I have no problem following his movements!
And if that wasn’t enough, when he had reached a distance of just a few steps away from me, I also activated my ability that accelerates my perception!
[Limit-Break]
…I block or dodge several attacks that go directly to sensitive areas that produce a cold sweat on my body just by thinking about the possibility of hitting me! Then…
“K-Kuuh !!”
… When he uses his hand as a weapon to stab me, he manages to sink his fingers into my side!! Furthermore, the force behind his movement continues until half of his palm is embedded inside my body!!
