____Narration____

When Kaneda stood in front of Gaolang after his introduction, the man couldn't help but remember the quick practice he and Yuji had before their fight. Thanks to the boy, Kaneda was confident that he had a chance to win, all that was needed was for him to position his pieces correctly on the board.

'Thank you very much, Yuji. Thanks to your tips, I have an idea of what to do to win.' The fighter thought, a small smile appearing on his lips as he stared at Gaolang, the boxer seeming not to take his presence seriously.

"Well, I'm ready! I'm just waiting for you." Kaneda spoke with a playful tone. "I hope you'll go easy on me."

Gaolang did not answer, his face sketching a bored look as his eyes wandered over the fighter in front of him analytically.

Observing Kaneda's posture, the way his fist closed nervously, and even the shape of his muscles that appeared in gaps in his kimono, it was clear that the man was anything but average. How was it possible that someone of this level could qualify to participate in a tournament like this?

Gaolang could not imagine something like this being possible in a place where real warriors face each other. For the boxer, that tournament was nothing more than a show.

But in any case, that didn't matter to the boxer, who went into his characteristic stance that Yuji had replicated some previous fights.

'For your highness and the glory of my homeland, I will destroy all who come in my way!'

The fighter began to bounce, his so famous gingado frightening all opponents who stood in front of him, and with Kaneda it could be no different. Fortunately, Yuji had already used the same style to guide him, so his mind was not so affected by the powerful pressure the boxer exploded from his body.

But still, the power Kaneda was able to sense from his opponent still made him fearful. It was frightening to think that he was face to face with the legendary Thai boxer, said by many to be stronger than Mohammad Alai in his prime and Iron Mike.

But at that moment, Kaneda couldn't afford to think so much about how superior his opponent was compared to him, after all, they would face each other one way or another.

"Are you guys ready?!" The referee asked fiercely, his eyes jumping between the two fighters quickly.

Kaneda, who until then had not entered his stance, raised his open hands in front of his shoulders and face, drawing the attention of some of the fighters watching the fights from the stands. Those who had the slightest knowledge related to the martial art used by Kaneda immediately became fearful, after all, it was normal for boxing to be superior in a fight against classical martial arts, after all, these were techniques done with the battlefield in mind, where the warriors would be wearing blades and armor.

In a direct combat against boxing, without blades or armor, classical martial arts would be defeated in most cases.

Yuji advised Kaneda with this in mind. Kaneda's style was limited to practically only twists and falls, without a deep knowledge of grappling, since the techniques of his style were designed so that the moment the opponent was knocked down, he was immediately finished by a blade.

So simply knocking Gaolang down and immediately afterwards attempting a twist would not work, since Kaneda did not have enough knowledge to keep the boxer on the ground.

So for Yuji, Kaneda had only one path, and all he had to do was wait and see if he would choose it.

"Begin!"

"..."

The referee started the match, but still neither of them moved. That, however not 10 seconds had passed, was more than enough for Yuji to declare the winner of this fight.

"..." With a sigh, Yuji turned around, and without even Akira or Himuro noticing, he left the scene.

.

As 15 seconds passed, Kaneda was the first to move. Whether it was stubbornness or a way to convince himself that he wasn't afraid, it didn't matter anymore, since seconds later, he was already in range of his opponent.

"Sorry for the intrusion, but waiting in that place was getting a little dull-"

Boom!

In a single breath from the boxer, a wave of punches hit Kaneda's body aggressively, the fighter being pushed backwards as he put his hand on his nose, which began to squirt blood.

Gaolang, who at that instant did not continue his attacks, pondered for a moment about what had happened in this one onslaught, his mind going on alert when something gave him the impression that Kaneda had been able to read his punches and even tried to react.

'No... There's no way that this average man was able to see my punches.'

But the boxer was quick to dismiss the warning, leaving only a little caution in his mind in case what he had thought came true.

Kaneda, who was stopping the bleeding in his nose, faced Wongsawat cautiously.

'Your speed is expected. I let him hit me only so that I could compare his speed with Yuji's, and find out if I can react correctly to his punches.'

The referee, seeing that the fight was frozen, immediately ordered the two fighters to continue, Kaneda immediately raising his hands.

'Fortunately, thanks to my earlier analysis of Yuji, I can react to his jabs. I hope he didn't notice my attempt to grab his wrist. I tried to be as discreet as possible.'

Catching his breath, Kaneda returned his attention to his opponent, his posture changing to outline a confidence he had not previously shown.

'That's it... I can beat this guy.'

"..."

Boom!
