Martial Arts System

chapter-5
I woke up at 4 am and started doing my running quest, while still having some muscle pain from yesterday.
Yesterday, I did have the sparring match, and then doing the rest of the quests made my body exhausted.
After I went to bed, I passed out instantly.
…
3 hours later.*Pant*
Ahhhhhh fuck, my lungs feel like they are on fire!
I just finished the run, and I have to confess that it was very painful!
I almost dragged my legs in the last 5 km.
But I finished the Quest and I received my rewards..
*DING* *DING*
[Quest Completed][Rewards Received: 200 Coins, 100 EXP, 15 Stat points]
[Level Up! You are now Level 2!]
[First Quest Completed! Rewards: 100 Coins, 50 EXP]
[Name: Kurogami Ichiro]
[Martial Rank: Unranked]
[Age: 15]
[Level: 2]
[SP: 25]
[Coins: 400]
[95/200 EXP]
[HP 15/15]
[Strength: 8]
[Agility: 10]
[Stamina: 7]
[Vitality: 10]
[Quests]
[Shop]
[Lottery: Unlocked at Level 5]
[Martial Arts: Taekwondo]
Alright!
I finally leveled up and from that, I received 10 Stat Points and 15 Stat points from Quest so now I have 25.
And 400 Coins will let me buy 2 Random Boxes.
Gladly I got the First Quest Completion reward.
and my HP increased by 5, but it can probably be increased with some shop items in near future, maybe.
First, I will put my stat points.
I will probably put on Stamina and Agility.
Stamina takes some time to increase so it's better to speed up the process.
And even though Strength and Vitality would be better for my Iron Style, it will take a long time until I manage to use it.
After I finished putting my Stat Points, it looked like this.
[Name: Kurogami Ichiro]
[Martial Rank: Unranked]
[Age: 15]
[Level: 2]
[SP: 0]
[Coins: 400]
[95/200 EXP]
[HP 15/15]
[Strength: 12]
[Agility: 20]
[Stamina: 18]
[Vitality: 10]
[Quests]
[Shop]
[Lottery: Unlocked at Level 5]
[Martial Arts: Taekwondo]
I put 10 Stat Points on Agility, 11 on Stamina, and 4 on Strength.
Instantly I felt the change and my exhaustion from running, decreased a little bit.
Now it was time for random boxes.
[Shop]
[Taekwondo Basic Mastery: 150 Coins]
[Karate Basic Mastery: 150 Coins]
[Weapon Basic Mastery: 160 Coins]
[Random Box: 200 Coins]
I clicked Random Box and instantly 5×5 sized black box with a question mark on top of it appeared in front of me.
I opened it and received a message from System.
[You opened Random Box!]
[You received Body improvement Pills x5!]
That's not bad!
I need a better body to unleash my Iron style and I got 5 of those.
Not sure how much it helps, but better than nothing.
Then I clicked the random box and opened another one.
[You opened Random Box!]
[You received Technique Recreation x1]
Hmm? What does that mean?
'System what is that?'
[Host. It allows you to create any technique you desire and you will be able to wield it without any backlash and you will learn it instantly.]
Nice! This is perfect!
I will be able to use it to wield one of my Iron Style moves.
But which one…
Movement Technique would be wise…
But also one of the stronger moves which take more toll on the body would be good too…
Need to think this through.
After that, I went to have my breakfast while being questioned by my parents about my "girlfriend" which I don't have, so it wasn't a very pleasurable breakfast.
After that, I went to put on my school outfit and went towards school with Ayako.
I reached the classroom 5 minutes before class started, first I returned the game which I borrowed to Mark.
The school day went by fast, even though there wasn't anything new to learn for me.
I walked out of the classroom and headed towards the club to go do few spars if anyone is there.
I have thought about which move will I recreate and I have 3 options currently.
Those are…
Ironic Edge – It allows the person to easily redirect a person's attack no matter what it is. In peak form it even allows a person to redirect bullets.
Ironic Shift – It allows the person to predict attack directions, and it helps to easily dodge any attacks – it allows the person to do huge speed bursts which make the person move quickly short distances
Iron Purgatory – It allows the person to misdirect a person's field of sight 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.
But even though I won't get backlash using those moves, but stamina cost will be huge if I decide to choose Iron Purgatory or Ironic Shift…
After walking for some time, I finally reached the club hall and there I saw again a few people fighting and I saw the tall guy who gave me my application paper.
I walked towards him to ask him to be my sparring partner.
"Hey, do you wanna be my sparring partner?"
"Oh, it's you." The tall guy raised an eyebrow in surprise.
"Are you sure? I am Martial Leader ranker." He said to me shortly after and it shocked me greatly!
He is at the same age as me which is 15 and he is already at Martial Leader.
He is definitely a genius.
"Sure, I want to test where my strength reaches anyway" I told him with a smile
"Fine…" Tall guy said with a sigh and then stood up with a boring look on his face.
"Follow me." He said to me and I followed him towards the center arena.
"Hey? Why is that new guy challenging Captain Lucas?" I heard one of the club members say to his friend
"Another one of those arrogant little pricks" said one of the club members with disdain
"Why our club gets only those morons." said one of the club members while looking at me with contempt
I ignored all those comments because I only have to show what I got.
Even though my body is weak, I don't think I am any worse than Martial Soldier.
But that is because I have faith in my abilities, but not arrogance.
We walked towards the arena in the center and stood from each other with a distance of 10m.
Then one of the club members walked towards the arena, he raised his arm and started to point towards the ceiling.
"Ready?" He asked
""Yes."" we both said
"Begin." He said and then went off the arena to observe the fight.
Captain of the martial arts club also known as Lucas rushed towards Ichiro with long strides.
Ichiro was still looking calm and used the Fighting Stance belonging to Taekwondo.
Lucas arrived within attacking distance and he did a quick jab with incredible speed!
'Fast, but not fast enough.' Thought Ichiro to himself and dodged the attack by moving his head to the other side and then he did Push Kick to push Lucas away from him to get some space.
It successfully managed to push Lucas a little bit back, but Lucas didn't give Ichiro any chance to have some space and went closer to Ichiro within attacking distance.
But this time Ichiro doesn't let Lucas have the upper hand and he did Jumping Front Kick!
*Pam*
Jumping Front Kick managed to hit Lucas, but only his block.
Lucas managed easily to block the kick with crossed arms.
"Is that all?" Lucas said and pushed Ichiro backward, by simply pushing Ichiro's leg away.
Lucas then went to the offensive and released a rain of jabs!
These jabs were even faster than before!
'Fast!' Ichiro thought to himself, but he kept retreating because the power behind those jabs is no joke!
Lucas then did a huge stride towards Ichiro and was almost in body-to-body touch with Ichiro since his face wasn't even 20cm between each other and Lucas started raining short punches towards Ichiro's torso.
Ichiro's face went pale for a moment and he decided to jump backward to create some distance, but the arena was ending so there wasn't a place where he can escape anymore.
"It's over." One of the club members said
"Obvious result."
Lucas was closing on Ichiro slowly to trap him.
'I don't have anything to defend with..' Ichiro thought to himself and he then commanded System to appear in front of him and decided to do Technique Recreation.
[You want to use Technique Recreation]
[Accept/Reject]
Ichiro clicked Accept without any hesitation.
[Name the technique!]
'Iron Style: Ironic Edge!'
[Iron Style: Ironic Edge has been created from your memories and any backlash which appears while doing this Technique will be removed]
Lucas kept closing on Ichiro and was already at attacking distance!
Lucas still had the same indifferent and boring-looking face.
Lucas then did even faster jabs!
Lucas has only done jabs and simple movement techniques, barely even trying.
But now…
Lucas was totally shocked. he widened his eyes in disbelief.
Iron Style: Ironic Edge!
Ichiro redirected every single jab with ease.
No matter how fast jabs were, they all were effortlessly parried to another side to completely miss Ichiro's body.
'What?!' Lucas thought to himself with a shocked face.
Lucas was so shocked that he lost concentration for a moment, but that was all Ichiro needed and elbowed Lucas' torso making Lucas stagger backward with a painful look on his face.
'Damn it!' Lucas thought to himself and quickly regained his nerves and decided to take this fight a little bit more seriously.
"What is happening?!!" one of the club members said in shock
Lucas and Ichiro were so concentrated on the fight that they didn't notice more and more people appearing to watch the match.
And all of them had the same shocked look on his face.
Captain Lucas is after all Martial Leader ranker.
While Ichiro is Unranked.
But they seem to be equal!
But that is not quite true.
