Martial Arts System
chapter-161

News about Avery's defeat was spreading everywhere.

The geniuses in Royal City was shocked!

They know the talent Avery possesses, and they wouldn't be as shocked if someone who has entered Age of Growth defeated him, but instead, someone with the same age group did!

He gave so much despair for the people from the same generation as him that everyone started treating him as undefeatable existence.

Avery's dominance made many quit Martial Arts for good because his talent made everyone look so inferior that they didn't have the mentality to continue.

This News also came as a surprise for Marq's Martial Arts Association.

They ranked Avery as Top 12 in the Global Talent List, but that was only estimated.

He could be a few spots higher, but Avery never showed what he is capable of, but in the match against Ichiro, he did go all-out, and they were confident that Avery should be in the Top 9.

They were currently having a meeting.

It was to discuss Ichiro's ranking!

In the Global Talent Rankings, only 100 young men under 18 are capable of getting ranked.

Michael and Sariel was ranked as well.

Michael as 88th, and Sariel as 96th.

But now, Ichiro will be ranked as well!

….

"Easy… Easy…" A doctor said as he watched Ichiro trying to stand up.

Ichiro's skinny figure had become much better. Some of his muscles became visible, and he looked more healthy.

There is a reason he was able to heal so fast— he drank one Uncommon Healing Potion, which increased his HP by 75 points.

But that alone made his body much healthier, and doctors became shocked because of that.

He had a Rare one as well, but that would increase his HP by 100, and he is glad that he didn't decide to use that.

It would be way too unrealistic for his body to improve that fast.

Ichiro stood up, but his body was still aching in pain.

Azura was standing on the other side of the table, and she held her hands tightly, afraid that Ichiro might fall down.

But her worries were for nothing— Ichiro stood up straight.

The doctor wiped his sweat, 'What a monster…'

Ichiro tried walking and managed to do it with slow steps.

"Ichiro, m-maybe you should go rest?" Azura said with worry.

The doctor agreed— his body is still weak.

But Ichiro shook his head, "I am fine… I will go see Sariel."

He heard what happened to Sariel, and apparently, he needs a miracle to survive.

Doctors had already given up, and the Wyrward family got the news.

Sariel's parents are already on their way here.

Azura's face turned sad, she nodded.

Ichiro took the wooden cane from the bed and started slowly walking out of the hospital room.

Azura was about to follow behind him.

But Ichiro said, "Can I go alone..?"

Azura kissed his cheek and nodded.

Ichiro smiled and left the room.

*Clank*

*Clank*

The sound of the wooden cane hitting the floor echoed in the corridors.

Everyone in the corridors recognized this young man.

They all respectfully stepped aside.

Ichiro reached the room where Sariel was.

He opened the door with his shaky hand and entered.

One man with dark blue hair was lying on the bed.

Sariel was currently in a coma, and every day, his chances of surviving is becoming slimmer.

Ichiro sat on the chair next to the bed and looked at Sariel.

"Why are you still sleeping… Wake up… We still got a long road ahead of us…"

"Interface…" Ichiro murmured.

Ichiro grabbed two Healing Potions and walked closer to Sariel.

"Please work…" He murmured— he grabbed the mask which covered his mouth— it was the breathing support.

He opened his mouth slightly and started pouring the potions.

Soon the two healing potions were empty.

*Crack*

The two empty healing potions in his hand cracked and disappeared.

He covered his mouth with breathing support and sat down on the chair.

"I have never been a religious person… But this time, I will pray for you." Ichiro said and put his two shaky hands to the praying gesture.

He closed his eyes and lowered his head.

If the people who knew him in his previous life saw him now… They would be shocked!

He never believed in God, not even when he got reincarnated.

He never understood when the religious persons told him that God is letting humans have their freedom and choice to make their own decisions, but then they also tell that God is the one who chooses who dies and who does not.

Where is the freedom in that?

But this time… Ichiro hopes that there is God.

Soon… He got his answer.

*Cough*

Ichiro looked with a shocked look towards the bed, where Sariel was seen coughing.

"Sariel!" Ichiro exclaimed and breathed relief.

Sariel turned his head slowly and widened his eyes as he saw Ichiro's skinny figure.

"I-Ichiro… What happened to you?"

Ichiro chuckled, "Doesn't matter, are you alright?"

Sariel looked at his body, which was very skinny, and he could feel pain around his stomach.

"I am fine…" Sariel said, "What happened to me?"

"You got heavy injuries, and you were in a coma for some time."

Sariel nodded and relaxed his body.

"Did you win…" Sariel asked with a hopeful gaze.

Ichiro smirked, "I did."

Sariel chuckled and closed his eyes, "I knew you would…"

With those last words, he fell asleep.
