06 - Fighting Ryuu 2 -

"Uooooooo"

"They are monsters"

"Ahh, Dad !! Isn't it better to stop them? They will kill themselves! "

It's been 3 minutes since I started fighting Ryuu, it was a punching and kicking fight without pause, my muscles were already sore and I was almost on edge, and from Ryuu's expression I can tell that he wasn't in a situation best.

"Arff ... Arff ... Hey boy ... Arff ... Aren't you better off?"

"Arff ... No way ... Arff ... And you're not too old for that?"

"Arff ... Brat ... I'm still young ... Arff ... Give up or I tell your mom you're skipping class ... And going to the red light district"

"Ehh? ... But I don't do that"

"Heheheh ... You will have to prove it to her"

Already tired I went on guard again, and without wasting time we went into short combat again.

Punch followed by kick, elbow followed by knee, we tried to avoid as many blows as possible, any hit at that moment was critical.

Until...

Pow

He hit me with a left jab disorienting me, and he soon followed with a right-wing straight.

With the back of my left hand I changed the direction of your punch without losing strength, and still with my left hand I grab your wrist and with my right hand I grab your shoulder, taking advantage of your momentum I rotate mine hip while I pull it over my shoulder, making a judo overturn, the harai goshi.

CCras

And with the force of the impact, the wooden floor below the mat breaks, and still holding your right hand I take the opportunity to fit in armlock.

With his arm mobilized, I apply force trying to break his arm, but once again he shows why he is the second in command. Only with brute force is he able to lift the arm I was mobilizing, and so he returns the arm with everything throwing me on the floor and releasing his arm.

Crash

The impact of my back broke another part of the floor.

Ryuu and I got up and faced each other again, our levels were the same, it was being a resistance fight to see who falls first.

But I still had a secret weapon, which I never showed, as it could only be used once, and I had no better time than this to use it.

I stared at everyone present.

And I spoke in a tone where everyone could hear.

"Bocchan has a girlfriend" (Bocchan is Raku).

...

That simple sentence caused chaos.

"Coff coff." Raku seemed to choke.

"WHAT???"

"DOES BOCCHAN HAVE A GIRLFRIEND?"

"THAT'S TRUE?"

And at that very moment when Ryuu also turned his head in shock to his Bocchan.

Bang

Ryuu took a high kick to the temple, making him lose consciousness for 0.3 seconds and his body moved forward as if he were falling.

And in these milliseconds I contracted every muscle fiber in my body, I felt all the fibers working and then ...

Bang

I finished off with a right uppercut to your chin, making Ryuu turn off.

...

Silence...

Everything was silent ...

Thud

Only Ryuu's body was heard falling.

"Uoooooooo"

"He really won!"

"But that was a dirty game"

"Who cares"

"So did Bocchan make a girlfriend?"

"I- I don't have a girlfriend"

While they were arguing I fell on my ass on the floor, now that the fight is over and the adrenaline is gone, my body started to come back to senses, I felt every part of my ache.

"Leave the discussions for later! Take them to the infirmary! "

"HAII !!"

Old Issei promptly mobilized his men to take care of people first, he certainly understood the level of our struggle, and knew that we needed care and to know if no internal damage was done.

I was probably going to stay overnight.

I had already told my mom that I was going to stay at Raku's house so I had nothing to worry about.

- The next day –

After a good night's rest I feel much better, in these years I realized that the blessing of the goddess was not as effective as she had already said, with a night's sleep I recover as much from scratches and muscle pains, cuts and broken bones need more time, but I still have a much higher recovery rate.

Now I'm sharing a room with Ryuu, after our exchange yesterday we were sent to the infirmary where we were treated for our superficial injuries and to do some tests, we are bandaged from head to toe, na exaggerated thing if you ask me

"Hey Ryuu !! How are you?"

"I already told you to call me sensei, and I'm broken"

"Yes, yes sensei ~"

"You got stronger again, kid"

"Yea"

"But it looks like you hit a bottleneck, your skills haven't evolved in a while"

"Uh"

I already knew that, no matter how much I train, I feel like I'm not improving, only my physical strength continues to increase.

"I already taught you everything I could, now it's up to you"

"Uh"

Then I hear the door open, and looking at it I see old Issei and Raku coming in.

"Akira, Ryuu are you okay? You lost a lot of blood. " Raku looked concerned.

"And to think that you would lose to a child! Maybe my eyes are getting old. " Old Issei seemed to take the chance to provoke Ryuu.

"Yes, I'm fine, it was just a few spiders." I replied Raku as he stretched my body.

"But he didn't play clean, boss, you see." Ryuu looked desperate trying to justify himself.

"Sensei, a victory is a victory, right Issei-san?"

"Yes, you are right, and as agreed I owe you a favor, what will you want?"

"I will save this favor for now"

"As you wish." After that brief exchange, he asked seriously how we were doing, and honestly, we were fine, it was just a few superficial injuries and muscle pain.

I rested for a few hours, and finally went home.

My house was only a 20 minute walk, so I didn't mind walking.

I have been here for 15 years, and I have no idea what moment of the kengan ashura plot I am in, so I asked old Issei a favor, if I can't find ways to participate in the kengan games, I'll ask him to put me over there.

And while I rambled on in my thoughts, I had already arrived at my house.

"Tadaima ~"

"Welcome back Akira"

I heard my brother scream from the kitchen, it was almost lunchtime, so he was already preparing.

Then I go to the living room, where I see my mother resting on the mat.

"Wellco ... AKI-KUN, WHAT HAPPENED? HAVE YOU BEEN RUNNED? "

My mom screams in panic seeing me all covered in bandages.

"Akira !! Are you okay?"

Then Ryūji runs on hearing his mother's screams.

"Hey, I'm fine." Then he follows the next few minutes having to calm them down.

...

Now we are sitting at the table having lunch.

"Ohh, now there are 15 days until the beginning of classes." Ryuuji commented while eating his tonkatsu.

"Now you are in the second year and I in the first year, miss Kushieda?" I answer while eating on a particularly large plate.

"Pff, Coff coff, what are you saying ?." Ryūji chokes and asks in a panic.

"Ne ne, who is Kushieda?" Our mother asks with a curious expression.

"Nin- nobody." Ryūji responds quickly.

"It's a girl he was in love with last year." But I tell the truth quickly.

"E- and- I wouldn't say in love." Ryūji responds while blushing.

"Ehh, so Ryūji-kun is already that old, and you, Aki-kun? Is there anyone you like? "

"I only have eyes for my beautiful mother." I answer while stroking his head.

"Kyaaaa, this way I'm ashamed." She seemed to like the comment.

"Don't spoil her, she's acting more and more spoiled." Ryūji looked concerned.

But seriously, now that I think about it, I spent my last 15 years training, I never approached a girl, am I not just following the same steps as my last life?

While I was thinking, I pass my plate to Ryūji: "One more!"

"Damn it! Aren't you overeating? " Well, it's like Ryūji said, the more I grow the more nutrients my body asks for.

We are not a wealthy family, eating only with the mother's salary will not work, I think I better look for a job.
