11 Against Yoruichi!

"Do you want me to land a hit on you?" he asked with doubt

"yep! Is that hard? If ya can't do as much as that, don't expect me to train ya." he said while crossing her arm

"is there a time or tries limit?" he asked

"as much as ya want, what's matter is to achieve that goal! What is yer answer?"

'I don't know anything about her...the best choice to go and train for a while, then come to challenge her later…' he thought and said, "then I'll take my -" his eyes twitched as look at the screen in front of him..

'Really now?!' he cursed, 'but those skills are too much of temptations to ignore, and who knows if ever to get them this quickly...' he started to calculate the odds, 'well nothing to lose I suppose... from where these skills come anyway…'

[The rewards you got depends on the conditions you put or get, as for the source, it's the world ]

'The world? Like a world scan thing'

[most likely]

'I see.' he then looked at Yoruichi, "I have nothing to lose anyway...wait will you attack me?" he asked

"Tsk, ya'r brighter than ya look." she clicked her tongue and grin, "of course! It's a fight, after all! But worry not! I promise ya won't have anything broken... probably…hahaha" she laughed at his deadpan face

"alright, follow me upstairs." she said as the pair started walking

'Woah! That's exactly I need!...but the leveling up is much harder!' 

[of course! This isn't a single fighting style, but all of them, any fighting style you do, it will be affected by it, until gradually you make your own]

'Oh, so that's why! Good thing I forced myself to learn some self-defense class during college.' he chuckled upon remembering that

'by the way, I never bothered to give you a name, calling you system is boring, hmm let see, you are based on emotions, let's call you mochi then (an: add ki at the front)'

[my mother has better naming sense! But I'll accept it...] mochi snorted

'What a tsundere... wait...what will be your pronouns?'

[I have no gender, or sex, call me attack helicopter if you like] mochi said

'whatever' 

After the bantering session, they reached the second floor, which was filled of...

"HAA" 

"You can do it, bro!" a young man

"Punch him at the di*k" a girl said

"300...301…302" someone doing pushups

all kind of fighters and equipment were around,

the Air conditioner was on all the time!

"hmm? Is that...." one of them noticed the pair

"Big sister had come!"

"Big sister! I love you!"

"Please step on me!"

"You are my idol!"

All the men and women stopped workout/fight/whatever and greeted Yoruichi, who waved her hand in return

"Yo y'all! Doin' fine!?" she said with a grin

"this place is sure lively." he commented casually

"hahahaha, of course, I came here each week to check on them, while most times I do my stuff in my own home."

"Hmm? Who is that brat next to you, big sister?"

"Arena 69." she said

"ohhh!!" all of them were excited

"... I guess I must ask what is that about..." 

"Nothing much, Arena 69 is a code name for the challenge to be personal student." 

"Wait, did I agree to that?" he asked in confusion

"yeah, ya don't want to be?" she asked with one eye closed

"as if, I would love a sensei with such beauty." he said with a straight face

"haha, ya know yer stuff! But complimenting me isn't enough, now get yer ass over there, and prepare yourself." she pointed at the biggest arena nearby.

it's a 20 m diameter big, with highest of 2 m, and around the ground is soft pillow to reduce the shock

"why the pillow?" he asks

"oh, just in case, don't worry about it." Yoruichi laughed, causing Naruki to have a wet forehead

he calmed his breath and took off his shirt, revealing his growing muscles 

"hoh, ya packing boy, that's 3 months of intense practice." Yoruichi commented

"thanks, they only felt like yesterday." which was kinda of truth

"heh, humor won't save you." she laughed as stood opposite of him, "alright! The rules are simple, either land a hit, give up, or pass out."

"Huh?, how about falling off the ring?" he asked

"even fallout won't save ya, but if ya give up without giving yer all, don't come again." she said

"YEAH!" all of them said in union when they saw the pair standing on the arena.

"it seems this a special occasion?" he asked 

"only once a month, I chose a fighter to the test, ya'r lucky, Naruki." she smiled, "now, whatever ya'r ready?"

He took a deep breath, and nodded

"then let's go! Ring the bell!!" 

*DINGGGGGGGGGG*

soon, he took a fighting stance, 

"hoh…kung fu…didn't you say you didn't have a fighting experience?" she asked casually

"self learn." he answered, 'I hope that Chinese class in college was worth it...' 

"Hmm...." she casually walked, bur with each step, Naruki heart pumped faster, he felt he is in front of a wild animal 

soon, Yoruichi is only a few feet away, she acted!

With a swift movement, she raised a high kick aimed to his chin

'fast!' he quickly protected his chin, blocking the strike, he landed on his feet, rushed into the purple haired woman, with a fist to gut

'Good punch!' the tanned woman thought, but with cat-like movements she dodged it, giving a fist of her own

sadly, Naruki wasn't as fast, but managed to avoid the hit to guts but raising his knee to tank the hit

"ugh!" he groaned, 'does she gave wolverine skeleton?!' 

He quickly touched his knee and massage it, using the massage skill he head, few seconds later the pain disappeared, he then launched again to her, only this time to get blocked, "you aren't bad boy, but still not enough!" she laughed as she barraged a valley of punches and kick towards him

he tried to block and dodge as much as possible, but off course some will hit on him!

but not everything in his disadvantages, as the fight between them became longer, his punches became more accurate, forcing Yoruichi to block more and more

'He is improving! He is bloody beating into a pulp, yet his attacks and defense became more refined!' Yoruichi smiled like crazy, increased her attack frequently more and more, not enough to defeat him, but definitely enough to put him on edge

'He is using me as a training puppet! Even if he doesn't land a hit, he already learn a lot just by fight me...what talent!' she licked her lips in anticipation, 'how far can ya get!' 

[Material art level 3 (47.64);]

Naruki looked at skill progresses, 'The real hidden and powerful ability of this skill, is with each level, my knowledge of martial arts increase, and reduce of the errors I made, the evidence is that I can beat the previous me in 2 minutes in this 30 minutes fight!' he thought as he dodge a punch to the side

"this brat is amazing!"

"Go ruby cub go!"

"Ruby cub!"

"Ruby cub!"

'Who is ruby cub?!' he cursed in his mind, blocking an almost devastating kick from Yoruichi that sent him flying, but in the air, he made a flip landing on his feet.

"HAHAHAHA! More Naruki! Show me more!!!" the tanned woman laughed in joy 

'I don't have much SP, you know?!' he complained in his heart, 'I have 10 seconds before passing out.' he looked at the approaching Yorichi with calm face

he wasn't getting his ass beaten without creating a plan, using strategic thinking, and his analysis skill, he analyzed Yoruichi fighting style to an extent, so putting his all in the next attack, he saw the knee approaching his head to knock him cold, he braced himself and took it directly! 

"Shit!" Yorichi didn't think he would be crazy enough to take it head-on, she doesn't want to give him brain damage

Yet it didn't feel like hitting his head, the knee hit the hand that was protecting the head, causing a few of his fingers to crack 

'This pain!!' he wanted to scream bloody murder but bit his tongue, and launched his kick!

And because Yoruichi was momentary stunned because of his actions, she is a split second late to counter, she closed her eyes and braced herself for the kick, yet it didn't come

"ouch??" she felt her cheeks being pulled out, she opened her eyes and saw Naruki with a teasing smile, "does that count as hit?" 

"... yeah…" she nodded dumbly

[Yoruichi admits you landed a hit! quest completed! +25 FP from Yoruichi, +12.5 EP, the skills is now in your skills menu!]

"great...now please take care of my baby while I'm out." he smiled and fell on the ground with a pass out with a smile.

"...." the arena was in silence

soon, Yoruichi woke up and screamed, "you meatheads, bring medics now!"

"Yeah!" one of them run away to bring first aid

Yoruichi looked the pass out Naruki weirdly, '... what an unusual fellow... well, I don't dislike it... I can finally have some excitement!, watching over these two devil heiresses is too boring! Hehehe what surprised will you give me, Naruki?' she smiled and begin to apply something to him the others can't see...
