As the rock touched the floor, I started running towards Randy as fast as I could, I got slightly surprised as he didn't move from his spot and started a series of hand seals which got me slightly disturbed.
I focused on his differents hands seals while moving closer and closer to him, looking straight into his eyes trying to figure what kind of jutsu was he going to use and I saw him slightly smirking as if he knew he had already won the fight.
Kayle: 'Is he going to do a Katon? or maybe he will send wind blade? should I try to dodge?'
I quickly look at my surroundings trying to make sure I have some space to dodge while I'm only almost three meters away from him.
Kayle: 'I'm close!! he is only a few feet away from me! I'll hit his hands and stop his justu'
As I start adjusting my body to kick him I finally hear him.
Randy: "Genjutsu! Deep Slumber!"
My body that was full of energy a few seconds ago starts to feel sluggish... I can't move my legs anymore... I slowly come to a stop feeling helpless.
Kayle: 'What's happening to me?! why can't I control my body? I'm under his genjutsu for sure.. all this is an illusion but how do I get out of it ?'
I feel myself falling to my knees, then laying on the cold floor, I feel extremely frustrated... I'm sure I could be the crap of that kid senseless getting a perfect combo on him... but I can do absolutely nothing..
Randy: "haha... see loser? You better not talk back to my brother next time! genjutsu and ninjutsu are the true way to become a Ninja"
Gaï that has been watching this finally comes to my side, puts his hand on my back, and pushes some of his chakra inside me, I finally feel my body getting lighter...
My eyes are unfocused as I look around wondering what is happening
Kayle: 'Did I lose? how come I lost against a random kid? I got reincarnated... I have my memories.. I've been training all this while to get one shot by a f*cking spell ?'
As I remain speechless while trying to process what happened... at that moment I heard Gaï speak.
Gaï: "You lost this fight... Do the Seal of Reconciliation and congrats your opponent..."
I absent-mindedly follow Gaï's instructions standing up and facing randy and do the seal of reconciliation.
Kayle: "You won this fight... I-I have nothing to say about that"
I feel myself thighing my fists due to the frustration, I even start feeling pain as my nails dig into my skin.
Gaï: "Hey it's just one loss... what with that face... it's not like you could never get a rematch in the future"
As I hear Gaï's words, all my troubled emotions start clearing themselves slowly, he is right... it's just a fight... and why did I even get this emotional while confronting a kid... I was 32 in my last life... So I lived for more than 36 years combining both lives.
I sight loudly releasing the last bit of frustration I still had inside me and smile.
Kayle: "Randy was it? I lost... I have nothing to say.. Thanks for this sparing"
I bow to him.. without him I would have wasted a lot more time before finding out I had such a huge weakness. This loss will only get me stronger.
Randy looks at me perplexed, not understanding how my mood changed this fast, he rubs his head with his hand smiling with a mix of proudness and shyness.
Randy: "Well you were pretty fast yourself... if we started our fight while being a little closer to each other then I might not had the time to use the genjutsu my brother taught me"
Our two groups separate slightly after that, I feel Gaï's hand on my shoulder
Gaï: "Haha! you did a wonderful job... remember your biggest strength will always be perseverance! no matter how many times you lose, as long as you keep standing back up on your feet then you will only become stronger and stronger"
Kayle: "I lost.. should we double training today ?"
Gaï: * Thumbs up smile combo*
Gaï: "Let's triple it"
