Martial Arts System
chapter-115-2

Giron was standing in the middle of the Fighting Arena.

"High School of Fighting Vs. Secondary High School of Fighting – First Match, choose your fighters." Giron said loudly and left the arena.

Raynold narrowed his eyes while looking at Ichiro.

Ichiro shrugged and stood up.

*CHEER*

*CLAPS*

The Hall erupted in cheers.

Ichiro with calm steps approached the Fighting Arena.

"I will take this." Raynold snarled and stood up.

"Wait, Raynold!" Soru shouted, but Raynold was already walking towards the arena.

"Shit…" Soru felt like a headache was coming.

Aryu shook his head, "That moron!"

Giron crossed his arms, 'Ichiro as a starter… Good choice.' He thought.

"ICHIRO, BEAT HIS ASS!" Jordan shouted with his friends.

The Hall sided with Ichiro, while Raynold didn't get any cheers, not even from his team members.

Ichiro was standing on the opposite side of the arena, and Raynold was only 10 meters away from him.

Ichiro went into an Orthodox fighting stance, while Raynold didn't have any fighting stance.

"First Match! The Third King, Kurogami Ichiro Vs. Raynold Jacobson!"

"FIGHT!" Giron shouted.

Raynold cracked his knuckles and started walking towards Ichiro.

Ichiro was standing silently in his Orthodox fighting stance.

"This is what you get for making fun of us!" Raynold roared and punched.

His punch at first looked very sloppy, but suddenly it became very sharp! Like a rusty spear becoming a beautiful golden spear.

[Ironic Edge]

But, Ichiro easily deflected it.

Raynold was slightly surprised, but he concentrated once again.

*BAM*

He stomped powerfully on the ground, which made the arena shake.

But it didn't break Ichiro's posture like Raynold wanted to happen.

Raynold gritted his teeth and unleashed his sloppy but sharp jabs.

[Ironic Edge]

Ichiro easily deflected the jabs, but then Raynold took a step forward and unleashed his uppercut.

*SWISH*

Ichiro pushed his head backward and only heard wind accelerating, and something fast brushed past his face.

"Fuck!" Raynold cursed aloud; he then used his left arm to try to grab Ichiro.

[Ironic Edge – Sky And Earth]

Ichiro grabbed his left arm and threw him to the ground.

"Ugh!" Raynold groaned in pain after his back crashed on the hard ground.

Ichiro took a step backward from Raynold and waited for him to stand up.

'You are a terrible actor.' Ichiro thought while looking at Raynold.

Raynold turned his head and saw Ichiro not falling for the trap.

"Fuck!" Raynold shouted and stood up.

Sariel and Rafael were displeased.

Not how Ichiro is fighting, instead displeased of Raynold's pathetic attempt.

"No wonder he belongs to Secondary school, how pathetic." Sariel spat out angrily.

Rafael nodded, "I thought at first it was strange for Martial Captains to be in Secondary school… But now I understand,"

Giron shook his head, 'Raynold's attempt might have worked against some inexperienced brat… But trying that against Ichiro… is an insult towards every King.'

Soru and Aryu gritted their teeth hatefully while looking at Raynold.

Markus clenched his fist as well.

The Hall was loud.

Some of the students noticed Raynold's plan, but most of them didn't.

They are cheering because Ichiro is in complete control of the match.

"Your boyfriend is doing good." A blond-haired girl next to Azura said.

Azura blushed, "H-He is not my boyfriend."

The blond-haired girl looked at her with dead-looking eyes, "If you guys are trying to keep it secret… Please don't flirt in front of hundreds of people."

Azura blushed and hid her face.

Michael was sitting in the chairs belonging to his class; he felt very annoyed that he wasn't fighting.

"I would have already won…" Michael kept muttering.

His classmates looked at him with dead-looking eyes.

He has been muttering the same thing since the match started.

Raynold started moving carefully forwards; he had his palms forwards, ready to block any attack.

Ichiro was calmly standing.

Raynold reached the attack range and instantly unleashed his punch.

But then…

*SWOSH*

Raynold blinked and saw Ichiro disappearing!

"BELOW YOU!" Soru roared.

Raynold with shock turned his gaze below him and saw Ichiro grabbing his leg.

"How?!" Raynold roared, but then he felt immense pain in his leg.

[Iron Fingers!]

"ARGHHHH!" Raynold roared in agony and fell down on the arena; his left leg was heavily bleeding.

Ichiro stood up and looked at Raynold with no emotion.

When Raynold reached his attack range, Ichiro was already preparing his counter-attack.

After Raynold unleashed his punch, and his field of view was limited, he used [Iron Purgatory]

[Iron Purgatory – It allows the person to misdirect a person's field of view, which allows the person to attack quickly from any blind spots making it one of the most difficult attacks to defend in the entire Iron Style.]

After he misdirected his field of view, Ichiro simply crouched and grabbed his leg and used his Iron Fingers to crush his bone.

Giron reached the arena and looked at Raynold, who was in no condition to fight.

"First match over! Winner, Kurogami Ichiro!" Giron shouted loudly and waved towards medics to take Raynold away.

*CHEEERS*

The Hall erupted in cheers while members from Secondary High School looked very defeated.

Raynold was carried away; he hatefully glared towards Ichiro.

But Ichiro didn't care; he was already standing on his spot, waiting for his next opponent.

"Hurry!" Soru told Aryu.

Aryu nodded and jumped towards the Arena.

They can't let Ichiro catch his breath.

Giron nodded and shouted, "Second match! The Third King, Kurogami Ichiro Vs. Aryu Ryuusen!"

"FIGHT!"

[Iron Rapidity]

Under astonished gazes of everyone, Ichiro disappeared and appeared behind Aryu.

[Iron Storm!]

Ichiro unleashed hundreds of punches towards Aryu's back.

Aryu turned his head in panic but then felt a punch hitting his face, torso, leg, arm, and neck.

"ARGTHGHH!" Aryu couldn't move a muscle; instead, Ichiro's punches accelerated in speed.

After 10 seconds, Aryu's body was filled with bruises, and his nose was broken, and blood flowed out of his mouth.

Ichiro stopped his rampage and put his palm on Aryu's torso.

[Iron Palm – Dragon Soars To Sky To Defeat Heavens]

*SMACK*

"ARGHHHH!" A massive shockwave pierced Aryu's torso, making him cry in agony.

The shockwave sent Aryu fly through the air and land on the ground, outside of the arena.

"Second match over! Winner, Kurogami Ichiro!"
