Chapter 42: intense fighting

6 HOURS AGO 1 COMMENT

The fight was overwhelming.

　Ishida kicked high in the first round.

　The next round, Park landed a backhand blow followed by a back kick.

　Chin elbows the middle man.

　Vice Admiral Bob kicked the opponent in the knee when he tried to tackle him.

　All of them were one-shot KOs, and Takagai easily took out all four. Amazing……!

　How did you manage to punch this guy in the face…..

“Hahaha!　What do you think, Kamata!　This is the power of Kanto Bancho!　A fighter who can only fight within the rules is no match for him!”

“Oooh, you’re good. I’m impressed. This is going to be a little fun.”

　Kenji came in front of Takagai.

　I’m counting on you, Takagai!　Just win easily and make me feel at ease!　I’ll buy you a beef bowl!

“Round 5!　 Takagai in the east, Kamata in the west! Fight!”

　With a quick step, Kenji closes the distance to Takagai.

　That stance with the center of gravity riding forward…… is that guy a boxer too?

　The hawk keeper seemed to have made that decision in an instant.

　He targets the boxer’s weakness, his legs, and fires off a low kick.

　– but Kenji avoided it by turning to the right with incredible speed, and at the same time released a hook.

　Takagai collapses.

　A brilliant counter.

“Kamata, the winner!　Next of the East group, step forward!”

　From there on, it was the exact opposite of what had been going on so far.

　The next spearhead, Hattori, was sunk by a straight hit just as he was about to grab it.

　Terada, who is a middleweight, uses a wooden sword, which should have given him an overwhelming advantage over the bare-knuckle Kenji, but he was able to dodge the first strike and was knocked out by a one-two counterattack.

　Finally, the second-in-command, The villainous Senpai, has to fight.

“You’re good, Kamata!　For the first time in a long time, I’m going to get serious!”

“Don’t go fuckin’ off so easy, big guy, okay?　Keep me entertained.”

　Kenji shows a crazy smile.

　I can’t believe that this quiet and weak boy has become such a maniacal …….

　Who on earth could have made him like that?

　Be that as it may, Villainous Senpai, you must win!

“Round 8!　The villainous in the east, Kamata in the west! Fight!”

　The villainous Senpai readies a large punch.

　Senpai did not learn martial arts. He believes that it is not necessary.

“Do tigers and lions train to be strong?”

　When I heard those words, I knew that this was the kind of man who was truly strong.

“Whoa!”

　Senpai’s punches are avoided.

　Kenji jabbed at Senpai’s face, and immediately took a shot to the body. –Not good!

“Oooo!　I couldn’t see you at all!　I couldn’t see it at all!　Hahahaha!”

“…… You really are a monster.”

　I could see some impatience in Kenji’s expression.

　To me, it looked like he was completely in the lever, but Senpai stood there unperturbed.

“A truly strong man has strong internal organs and nerves!”

“So be it!　I’ll put as many bullets in you as I can!”

　Kenji dodged Senpai’s barrage of stupid punches with his terrifyingly brilliant footwork, and delivered a blow aimed at a vital spot.

　But Senpai did not fall.

“Hahahahaha!　It hurts a lot!　I’ve got blood in my veins!”

“Is this guy really human ……?

Senpai took off his uniform jacket. He was bleeding from his right shoulder.

　It seems that the gunshot wound has opened up.

　Villainous Senpai, you are not in perfect condition ……, but with that level of injury, there should be no problem.

“Allright!　I’ll finish you off with this one!”

　Senpai clenched his right fist tightly and took a very large swinging stance.

　Are you insane?　I don’t think that punch is going to hit Kenji.

“That’s funny. …… I’ll take it.”

　Kenji took a step and jumped into the bosom of Senpai

　You’ve got a lot of nerve. I would never be able to imitate that.

　Kenji’s straight right crossed with the senpai’s punch.

　Senpai’s punch grazed Kenji’s cheek, while Kenji’s straight shot through the senior’s jaw. It was a perfect cross-counter.

　–But Kenji is still standing.

“Nice work all the way through …… villain, you’re a real man …….”

　Kenji ducked down and went back to rehydrate.

“Senpai ……?”

　I approached the Villainous Senpai. –What the hell?　He opened his eyes and fainted while standing!

　Even if he is defeated, he will never fall. He is truly a true man.

“You were really on the edge, you know. You had to bet on the last shot, right?”

　I see. …… Kenji’s punch was gut-wrenching.

　As expected of a senpai, he didn’t even show it.

“If it weren’t for the injury to his right shoulder, it might have been him who lost.

　So it was a victory at the very last minute.

　It’s even more regrettable that he wasn’t in perfect condition.

“General of the East Group, to the center!”

　I’m going to confront Kenji.

“I never thought I’d see the day when I’d have to go toe-to-toe with Soma-chan. ……”

“Me, too. …… Kenji, I don’t want to hit you. Can’t we just call it a draw here?”

“Soma-chan, you’ve really become a pathetic man. I’m so disappointed. …… Don’t you dare not to take me seriously!”

{1 (Fight Kamada as best as you can.)

{2 [“Kenji, you did a great job,”] (Hug Kamata.)

Eh?　What does 2 mean?

　Maybe if I choose 2, I can avoid a fight?

“…… I understand. Then I’ll let you go without hesitation.”

　I chose one.

　I thought that would be the most sincere response to Kenji.

“The ninth round!　Yagami in the east, Kamata in the west! Fight!”

　We both took a step forward.
