Chapter 5 – Fighting Ryuu 1 –

10 years have passed since I saw old Erioh, a lot has happened in those years, when I turned 6 I asked Ryuu to train me, Sasaki Ryunosuke is the chief member of the Clan Shuei (Yakuza), but everyone calls him Ryuu .

Ryuu is a tall, muscular man with a large dragon tattoo on his exposed right shoulder. He has sharp eyes with a scar around his left eye, dark brown hair and a mustache. He usually wears a light purple kimono with a dark purple stripe and a sleeve from his right shoulder to the side to expose his tattoo and shoulder.

At first he didn't agree to help me, something about me being very young, but when I said it was for Raku's protection, since I am directly with him at school, he soon agreed to help me.

And of course, neither my mom or Raku knew that, they thought I was going out to play in the neighborhood.

I also wanted to train with him to test my theory, since this world also involved Kengan ashura, so the second in command of Japan's biggest gang could not be weak. Just looking at him I knew, but I had to confirm, and I was really sure, he is a monster.

Even though most of my past life was geared towards martial arts, it still showed me a new level of perfection.

And when I turned 9, I was able to attend a gym, basic exercises were not enough, but it was really difficult to be able to attend it, since my mother wouldn't let me, she said it was not good for my growth and I should focus on studying .

But with my perfect grades, and several theses by renowned doctors proving that this was just myth, and old Issei helping, I finally got his permission with some bribes.

I had to pamper her even more.

When I started doing gym I ended up meeting another young man, well, he was the one who approached me, he was a bodybuilding enthusiast, saying he was excited to see another young man at the gym, it seems he started training from na early age, at that time he was 15 years old, but he already had a mature physique, it was scary.

His name is Naruzo Machio, he is a tall young man with short, messy black hair, he usually wears loose clothes that make him look thin, but he has a bulky physique, especially when he is contracting his muscles, once I saw he almost tore his clothes by contracting his muscles, it was not a very pleasant sight.

But he was a great person and a good training partner.

It was around this time that I started watching anime, in my past I only saw a few when I was in high school, and as I was going to end up traveling to other worlds, it would be good for me to know several series.

But there was a problem, I was getting more and more addicted and I didn't realize it, I only realized when my brother and Maiko started calling me otaku, but there was no going back, I was already a hopeless case, but of course that I only saw in my spare time.

And when I turned 10 the mother changed jobs, she started to work as na attendant in a night bar, she would receive more there, but it is a place where doubtful people can end up attending, so I asked old Issei to keep na eye on instead, I was practically na unofficial member of the Shuei clan, so he readily accepted, except that he took care of us since he was a little boy, so he wouldn't let anything happen to our mother.

And when I was 12, I only lost to the main members of the clan, they called me Little Demon, since my growth rate was very fast, but I was still not close to beating Ryuu.

In the beginning, my mother was worried about my injuries, but after explaining to her that I was learning to fight with old Issei's people, well, she was even more worried, she even went there to fight with the old man and me that I was following, and we could only sit and listen.

After a good scolding, I had to beg her to let me continue, and after several excuses I made up on the spot, more bribes like massages and specific foods she allowed.

And now I am 15 years old, I am growing up to the same standards as my previous life, I am measuring 1.70 m, with 72 kg, of pure muscle, but nothing bulky, I keep my black hair not too short, and pure black eyes.

...

I am currently in a seiza posture, Ryuu is in the same position in front of me, I am wearing only light shorts and bandages on both hands, Ryuu is wearing his traditional kimono, only the upper body is all exposed.

We are at Raku's house, on a large mat, the entire Shuei clan is present around us, and in the main seat is old Issei with Raku at his side, the old man and I made a deal, if I beat Ryuu he I would owe a favor, we would fight once every four months, and we've been fighting for three years, and today is another one of those days.

"Uuooooooooo"

"Ryuuuuu !, Kill him"

"5,000 yen on Ryuu"

"1,000 at Akira, with each fight he is closer to winning"

Everyone was excited, this was already a normal event.

"Hahahahah, come on Akira, show me how much you've grown this time." Ryuu was also excited, in our last fights it has become more and more balanced, there is no way to tell who will win.

"You shouldn't laugh like that when you're going to lose." I replied back excited about the atmosphere.

"Enough of the bullshit and get ready." Old Issei looked excited, too.

"Be careful Akira." And Raku was being Raku, he is a kind soul.

I stood up and entered a Muay Thai guard position with my hands at the level of my eyebrows and Ryuu entered a boxing guard with his torso slightly tilted.

"START !!" Cried old Issei.

The moment the old man screamed, I exploded forward with a high kick towards his face.

To which he responded by leaning further to avoid my kick, and with my foot already on his head, he launched himself at me with a left uppercut.

Without support, I can only tilt my head to avoid his punch that comes from below and rubs against my cheek.

Then I quickly walk away, I can feel the blood running down my face.

"Uuoooooooo"

The staff howls with our first exchange.

Once again I raise my guard, and Ryuu, without losing his breath, goes up and I without retreating face to face.

And when we face each other, Ryuu enters with a right-wing right and I follow with the same movement, and seeing that he will not stop, I can only put more strength on my arm.

Bang

Our heads were blown back.

But our feet remain fixed like a tree trunk, and then ...

Bang

We went on without losing our breath with a left straight.

This time along with our head going backwards, it follows our blood flying.

And this time I am the one who starts the movement with a high right circular kick, in which he receives with his left arm glued to his face and his right arm serving as support.

But with the force of my kick, it practically makes him jump back.

And by the time he touches his toes on the floor, I am already entering with a left cross on the rib without giving him a chance to breathe.

But even without support, only with the strength of his thumb he throws himself backwards avoiding my cross and follows with a high kick in the face that I can't avoid.

Poww, Baque

And with the force of the kick I spin in the air and fall on my back.

I get dizzy with this kick, but when I look in Ryuu's direction he is already flying over me.

And when he falls I receive him with my foot on his chest and holding his hands I throw him back using his own strength.

And without wasting time, I roll over and stand up, jumping backwards with my guard up high.

"Arff ... Arff ... Arff"

Ryuu and I were already breathing irregularly, although this exchange only took a few seconds, each movement was to finish, our bodies were under tension every second, we didn't even hear people shouting around us.

"Your punches are still heavy, my face hurts" Ryuu commented while massaging his face.

"And you continue to attack a child without any penalty, are you not ashamed?" I responded sarcastically.

"Bah !! As if a child could get punched by me "

Ryuu was already on guard again.

"It doesn't change the fact that I am a child"

I wiped the blood off my face and went on guard again.
