I got up and did what I did every morning take a shower, brush my teeth, and got out the door.
Got to Takeda's house by 5 and waited for directions.
"Today you'll be trying the techniques you've learned on an opponent that intends to beat you in a fight.
"WHAT!!!?"
I was pretty hurt when he would throw and kick to the ground, does that mean nothing you stupid old man.
"Since you've been using all your moves on me who doesn't intend to fight you, you'll be using them in an actual fight, since the training is useless if you can't pull the moves off"
"I guess that makes sense, but does that mean I'm done learning techniques"
No do you think all it takes is 3 weeks to be proficient in a weapon, Do you have that little respect for the tessen"
Maybe I shouldn't have asked
"ok I'm sorry who am I fighting"
"There's a tournament for kids 7 and under, they've all been trained in some kind of martial so don't take it lightly"
It's not like I cant beat up some little kids but I have one question
"When exactly is this taking place"
"Today"
"Why didn't you tell me!!!?"
"I told you to rest up, didn't I? And when were students complaining about training, I don't understand kids these days"
So he's saying that those vague ass instructions were enough information to go on, and then covering it up by saying I'm lazy, it doesn't make sense.
"Ok then what am I supposed to bring"
"your weapon is all you'll be needing, and we'll be leaving in 10 minutes
"Then I'll get ready"
My wooden tessen was already in my pocket, so I mentally prepared, I guess that old man was right I've never been in an actual fight, even In my past life I never got into fights and overall I was a pretty docile person.
But I'm not actually afraid of any kids, it's not like any of them can beat me up.
Right?
While I was thinking Takeda interrupted me
"Times up let's go"
"So how are we getting there"
"By feet"
"Don't you have something more I don't know convenient"
"stop complaining it's only a 30-minute walk"
"Fine"
"By the way, I got you some clothing for the event"
Takeda hands me a box, inside the box was a black kimono with a brownish design in the middle.
"Do I have to wear that it's kind of hot outside?"
"Wear it or ill hit you"
"actually the heat may not be that bad, this looks good"
after wearing the clothes we left.
*30-minute time skip*
We enter a large building that had rows of seats and in the center is an arena, we sit down in the front row and sit down
"How long will we be here"
"wait for a bit and the tournament will start"
people start coming in and within 20 minutes the tournament is about to start but before it can an announcer starts speaking.
"Welcome ladies and gentlemen, today I will be going over the rules, First of all, If you receive an attack that may be fatal you lose the tournament"
Ok that rule isn't that dangerous everyone has wooden weapons or are using their hands
"Secondly if you step out the ring in any circumstance you're eliminated"
"And last rule, there are 4 rounds and no second chances so do your best"
"Now without further ado, the tournament is now starting"
I hear many shouts and screams
I guess people are really excited, wait it looks like he has something else to say
"The first round is Hata Sadou and Ben Dover
"Well you heard him," Takeda says before throwing me in the ring
"Oh and by the way, if you lose any matches training is doubled for a week"
"WAIT WHAT!!!?"
