After a week of training under Akisame did Kenichi develop some muscles as well as stamina without knowing it. Akisame taught him only one technique and it was a movement technique making him able to dodge his enemy and counterattack them at the same time. Then the day arrived when the fight should happen and Kenichi asks the group, "How should I defeat him? I didn't even learn how to punch someone." "Really you need someone to show you how to punch someone in the face?" asks Ciri and Ray says, "Just hit him right here once you see an opening." Ray points at his chin as they walk to school. After classes were over says Miu to Kenichi, "Good Luck. I will hear later from Ray if you won or lost in your match."
Kenichi was on his way to the club when he finds Ray waiting for him in the hallway. "So are we going? You will need some mental support even though it would have been better if the girls went but the other boys would most likely try to brag and fight harder if they went," says Ray and Kenichi asks, "What about your club?" "They won't notice if I leave a day or two. Now concentrate on your fight against that bastard. What was his name again?" says Ray and Kenichi says, "His name is Daimonji."
"Right, that was his name," says Ray and both walk towards the club and on the way they find Niijima and Kenichi says, "I don't have time right now for you Niijima." "It will be fast just one question how do you expect to win against your opponent?" asks Niijima and Ray says, "I would say by dumb luck but I think I know better and say by wearing out his opponent." "Well, at least you are facing your opponent and didn't leave school. Now, how about you get some information about him. Like a weakness, you could exploit," says Niijima and Kenichi asks, "Where is the catch?"
"There is nothing like that if you lose but if you win you have to pay the price," says Niijima and Ray says, "You are even more greedy than the dwarves. What does he have to pay if he wants the information?" "Just sign here and here. And the information will be yours," says Niijima and Kenichi and Ray read Shinpaku Alliance and Ray not understanding the meaning behind this says, "Is that all he must join your Fanclub. Just sign it. Even if you win it's just you and him in it. Nothing bad could happen and you need everything you can get."
"Fine you win Niijima," says Kenichi and signs the contract and Niijima then says, "Daimonji had a fight with the Captain and has some problem with his ribs on the left side. Some well-placed hits there and he should fall." "Now we have a plan a and b. Plan a is to wait until he is exhausted and hit his chin. Plan b is the same just that except for hitting the chin you go for the ribs," says Ray and Kenichi asks, "You think I can exhaust him?" "Pretty sure. Akisame knows how to do a good job and your body is full of stamina and with the technique, you learned there should be no problem as long as you use the technique," says Ray and both begin to move towards the karate club again.
Once inside the club, everyone was sitting down and the captain of the karate club says, "Saijo you will be the referee in this fight. May the best man win." Kenichi changes his clothes while Daimonji was already waiting for him inside the ring. Ray sits down somewhere he isn't disturbed by the stares he is getting from the whole club for breaking his senior's hand with his face. Once Kenichi finished changing and entered the ring Saijo says, "Fight." And Daimonji begins to attack catching Kenichi off-guard and trying to hit against the abdomen. Only to hit Kenichi's arm and sending him flying to a wall.
Kenichi stands up while holding his arm and Ray says, "Not good. Not good at all." Kenichi enters the ring again and gets in position. Saijo looks at Kenichi and asks, "You sure you want to continue?" "I still can continue," says Kenichi and Daimonji begins to attack once again. This time Kenichi dodges the attack successfully and attacks Daimonji ribs. And Ray seeing that facepalms himself because the next moment Daimonji attacks Kenichi again sending him flying through the room. Ray then walks over and whispers to Kenichi, "Left side not the right side. Now try again if you do that you might win against him."
Kenichi stands up again and the fight continued and Daimonji strikes first but Kenichi dodged the attacks one at the time waiting for his opportunity to strike Daimonji down. And once Daimonji was exhausted did Kenichi strike Daimonji's chin. Daimonji didn't fall as Kenichi expected and began to attack the ribs this time too. Until Daimonji fell to the ground. Once the fight was over did Kenichi fall as well from exhaustion. And Ray picked him up and says, "He will be quitting the karate club from now on. So be lucky Daimonji and don't bother him again."
Then he leaves with Kenichi over his shoulder towards Ryozanpaku while getting a curious stare from Saijo. Ray ignored the stare and left with Kenichi. Halfway towards Ryozanpaku Kenichi wakes up and asks, "Did I won?" "Yes, but you might need to get stronger since you got a new enemy to face soon," says Ray and Kenichi with a scared face says, "What how and why did I have to fight again?" "That Saijo was looking interested in you. He will most likely challenge you sooner or later. So be prepared," says Ray as they arrive at the doors of Ryozanpaku.
Ray opens it and says, "Time to patch you up before you can train again." "No, let me go, Ray. I don't want more training from the Medic Demon. He always patches me up before continuing his training for me," says Kenichi and Ray says, "Be happy that it wasn't my father. He would heal you up instantaneously and keep training you until it's time to sleep." "Then your father must be a demon too," says Kenichi and Ray says, "You don't have any idea. He is a half-demon after all. If you have time let him show it to you and you would wish to be trained by Akisame for the rest of your life."
They walk inside and the first one they see is Sakaki drinking his beer who asks, "Did you won or lose boy?" "I won," says Kenichi and Sakaki says, "*sighs* Now I lost a bet against Logan. I should see what he wants from me." "Wait you were betting if I win or lose isn't that cruel," says Kenichi and Sakaki says, "Not really. If you want to know what is cruel ask Logan he can tell you what is really cruel he went through more shit than any of us." Sakaki then leaves with his six-pack or what was left of it.
"What did he mean your father passed through a lot of things?" asks Kenichi and Ray says, "That you can ask him later. For now, let's meet Akisame to teach you now seriously." "Seriously? Didn't he do that already from the beginning?" asks Kenichi and Ray says, "Not really he just boosted your stamina and durability a little for the fight against Daimonji. No, you will most likely be trained seriously now since you returned here." "You mean dragged here by you," says Kenichi and Ray says, "Don't cry over spilled milk. Didn't you want to become strong this is the best place for that goal. Just remember becoming strong doesn't mean to get strength."
They find Logan and Akisame and Logan says, "There comes the victor. I think you have done a fine job Akisame. I might have done it better but he would have become a maniac like everyone else in my family." "I have done my best with the resources I had on hand to train him. Even though I thought he would lose," says Akisame and Kenichi says, "Really and you still send me to the fight." "Don't worry kid. Sometimes you need to take the leap from a cliff into the darkness. Or at least that's what an Old Witch told my wife once," says Logan and Kenichi asks, "Witch? What do you mean with that?"
"He means a real witch one who can uses magic. But it would be far easier to believe it when you see Abigail cook. She doesn't even touch the tools to cook the food she made every night for us all," says Akisame and Logan says, "Let me show you some magic." Logan then puts his hand on fire and Ray says, "Don't be fooled Kenichi that is the light even I can do that look." Then Ray puts his whole body on fire and Logan laughs while saying, "Do you think I would use a spell inside here. Put the fire out before you burn down the house."
Ray stops and all four see burn marks on the floor and Ray says, "Miu will kill us." "You mean she will kill you," says Logan and then uses magic to repair the damage and says, "It looks as good as new. Now, remember not to uses it inside the house or in the garden. And Kenichi. I again congratulate you on winning. Now train hard under the others they also wanted to teach you. And I will convince Sakaki to teach you some karate."
"What do you mean the others wanted to teach me too?" asks Kenichi and Akisame says, "Were you thinking I'm the only one interested in training you. After seeing me training you they wanted a disciple too. So we made an arrangement. Everyone will teach you except for Logan and Miu's grandfather for now." "You had to see their faces when they made the arrangement Apachai never had one as well as Shigure. They were really happy. Once you learn from them enough you will get to learn from me and Miu's grandfather," says Logan and Kenichi begins to cry and wants to flee when Akisame grabs him by the collar and his body begin to leak ki while saying, "From today on you will become the disciple of Ryozanpaku that means you won't ever lose again and if you do it will bring shame to all of us remember that. If you lose your training will be more hellish than it will become from now on."
"No, let me go. Let me go," says Kenichi and Logan laughs and says, "Too late for that you should have known for what you enlisted yourself when you wanted to become stronger. Everyone pays a price to become stronger. You will do the same. Now then I will leave you with Kenichi Akisame see you later." Akisame then leaves with the unwilling Kenichi who was dragged away by the collar and Logan says, "And so begins the game. From now on he will face stronger enemies. I want you to watch over him. But never interfere if not necessary. Do you understand."
"Yes, father but what if he asks for my help?" asks Ray and Logan says, "Only if you think it is necessary the same goes for the other three too. Or you will hinder his progress because he can always rely on you. And now go I know you want to learn some Jiujitsu next." Ray then leave and follows the other two while Logan says to himself, "One or two changes won't change much I hope. And if yes then more fun for me in the end."
