CHAPTER 2
THE KING OF MARTIAL ARTS: Aang
"Oh wow!! That was truly an amazing match and the finishing, absolutely amazing and now for the next match."
"He has participated in the competition eight times and has won 2 silver medals, give it up for Rock Sheet and his opponent has participated 3 times and was so close to reaching the finals, give it up for Ahn Jun Dajeong."said Yoshi Mahiko.
Rock Sheet was a martial artist with dark long brown hair which reached his neck with blue eyes. He is tall with a height of 165 cm and a weight of 80 kilograms. He is fair and wears the same uniform and sandals as all other participants, with no accessories.
Ahn Jun Dajeong is a martial artist with turquoise hair, has bangs in the front and by the side. He has lots of hair and his eyes are blue. He is fair in complexion, tall and weighs 78 kilograms and wears the same uniform and sandals as all other participants, with no accessories.
The crowd cheers as the two walk in with a look of confidence and boldness.
"May the best man win." Rock said.
"Good luck to you too." Dajeong said.
"I thought everyone here would be total jerks because of the last match I witnessed but these two are different. I wonder if they would want to join my team." I said.
The match began with rock landing the first blow but was easily blocked by Dajeong with his hand. Rock steps back to re-strategies.
"Oh wow!! Did you see that ? Rock's attack was easily blocked by Dajeong with one fist. TOTALLY AMAZING!!!" Yoshi Mahiko screams.
"I know that he has good eyesight and is always on guard and he is really good at defense and offense. So there is no point punching, unless I rush him with punches so fast , that he would not be able to read me." Rock thought.
So Rock attacks Dajeong with a barrage of punches but Dajeong doges every single one of them. Rock surprised and tries to retreat to re-strategies again.
"Impossible ! I have to come up with something else." Rock thought.
"This has been dragging on long enough. Time to end this." Dajeong said.
Dajeong does his own barrage of punches with all his might. He punches Rock so hard, making Rock to collapse and he wins the match. They continued the other matches until the ninth one started.
"The next match, a man who has participated 4 times and has won two gold medals, Aang Long and his opponent fighting for the first time Conner Anderson." Yoshi Mahiko said.
Conner Anderson is a martial artist with messy light brown hair, a lot of back hair and has black eyes. He is short with a height of 135 cm and a weight of 62 kilograms and he wears the same uniform and sandals as all other participants, with no accessories.
They both came out and I could tell right away that Conner was anxious but I couldn't blame him since this is his first competition but for Aang he was not shaking at all.
"They call Aang 'The King of Martial Arts' around here," one of the spectators said.
"Yeah. There is no way he is loosing especially to some noob like him. If I were him I would be running while I still have the chance."
After hearing this from the crowd I knew he was formidable.
"There is no way he is winning this." Rock said.
"He might as well give up" Lemona said.
"Your in no position to talk. Loser." Bill said.
"Hey, watch your mouth there. I can talk however I want. It's freedom of speech." Lemona said.
"I personally don't think that a loser has anything decent to offer in this match." Bill said.
"What was that ? I dare you, repeat again." Lemona said.
"And if I do, what will happen ? Will you beat me like you couldn't in the arena ?" Bill asked.
"You two stop arguing. Save your breath and after this tournament you can settle your quarrel with your fists not your mouth. For now let's focus on this match. That's what is important right now" Rock said folding his arms.
"Fine, Okay." Both Bill and Lemona say simultaneously.
"I am dying to see what you can do. Now show me because I won't hold back even if your a noob." Aang said.
"You've been training for this your whole life. You can't afford to loose here."Conner thought.
Suddenly his face changed to that of a bold, confident and determined one.
"THE MATCH STARTS NOW!!!" Yoshi Mahiko screams.
Conner starts first by punching Aang really fast and moving light on his feet as to avoid Aang from getting to him. He does this for several minutes, gradually weakening Aang.
"Is he actually holding his own against the king of martial arts? I can't believe it." one of the spectators said.
"Neither can I."said another spectator.
"So he is not weak after all."said another spectator.
The crowd begins to cheer.
"He is actually not that bad, seems this kid has more potential than I thought." Rock said.
"I can win this if I just keep this up but I am getting tired." Conner thought.
Aang saw that Conner was getting tired and used it to his advantage , that is when the counter started. He broke out of the barrage of instantaneous punches, held Conner and began to swing him really fast and threw him. He landed badly and was injured. He was not able to stand up. He looked paralyzed as if he couldn't move. All thought it was over until the commentator was about to announce Aang as the winner that was when Conner decided not to give up.
He was struggling to get up because his leg completely got fractured after that throw, but that did not stop him. He slowly approached Aang, the whole arena was silent as to see what an almost dead Conner would do to The King Of Martial Arts. He then used a technique called RYJUMA GENDSHI. It's a technique were the user puts his hands forward and uses the index finger to touch his opponent around the heart.
Conner used this technique on Aang before finally falling to the ground.
"What was that ?" one of the spectators asked.
The commentator announced Aang as the winner but before Aang could leave the arena he felt a sudden pulse, a strange uncomfortable feeling flowing all around his body from the heart. Suddenly he started bleeding from his mouth. Lots of blood flowed from his mouth and he fell on the floor.
The blood was not seizing to stop and they had to call the Medics to help him.
"Why is he bleeding ?" one of the spectators asked.
"It must be from that last attack he received earlier by that noob." one of the spectators suggested.
"I thought that was just some flimsy technique. Did it really do this much damage ?" one of the spectators asked.
"The Ryjuma Gendshi is a special technique used by one of the great Martial Artist, Byon Clemen a man from Kotetsu , where the user focuses all of his energy at his index finger curving his hand and hitting on the chest of the opponent which causes a fatal wound on the opponent, but the question is how did he learn to do it and from where ?" Bill asked.
"Good Question. Unless..."Rock thought .
The remaining matches were held and the commentator announced the matches for the Quarter-Finals.
"Here are the two participants for the first quarter-final match, a renowned martial artist who has won 5 gold medals and 3 silver medals, Sosuke Aaching, VS Ahn Jun Dajeong"
Sosuke is a martial artist with pink hair which is slicked back and has red eyes. He is fair, tall with a height of 185 cm and wears the same uniform and sandals as as all other participants, with no accessories.
"That many gold medals ." I thought to myself.
"Sosuke, the guy whose match was canceled because his opponent forfeited. But why ?" I thought.
Sosuke is a man in his early twenties, with a height of 186 cm, slender and has pink hair. He is dressed in the traditional Budo outfit.
"Finally, we get to see a martial art god in action." one of the spectators said.
"What do you mean by martial art god ?" I asked.
"You mean you do not know Sosuke ? They call him the god of martial arts. Why do you think he has so many gold medals ?"one of the spectators asked.
"But I thought Aang Long was the best around here ?" I asked in confusion.
"Aang Long is good but Sosuke is on another whole different level. Probably why his opponent forfeited, maybe to avoid a humiliating defeat" one of the spectators said.
There was excitement in the air as Sosuke entered the arena, even the commentator could not contain himself by his presence. At that moment I was eager to see what he's made of. Sosuke and Dajeong had started fighting when both Conner and Aang came back from the infirmary.
"Your both back from the infirmary ?" Rock asked.
"Yeah, I did not sustain any injuries that were life threatening." Conner said.
"What about you Aang ?" Rock asked.
"I just loss an amount of blood. Nothing serious." Aang said
"Nothing serious ? He looked like a tap when all that blood was gushing from his mouth. Probably he has lots of blood or his acting tough as always" Rock thought.
"I am sorry for the whole losing blood thing. So who is fighting now ?" Conner asked.
"Sosuke and Dajeong." Rock said.
"I see. This will not end well." Conner said.
"Do not underestimate Dajeong. He is skillful enough to hold his own against Sosuke." Bill said.
"I know but still, Sosuke is a ruthless monster who spares no opponent. "said Conner.
After fighting for a while, Dajeong is seen breathing heavily and bruised while Sosuke seems fine and has no injury.
"How are you still standing after everything I threw at you ?"Dajeong asks while breathing heavily.
"Isn't it obvious ? You are weak and I am strong and from the start you were doomed when you faced me off. Your destiny was sealed for you to loose. "screams Sosuke.
I was angry after he had said this and I tried to contain my anger.
"Now it's time, I get serious. "said Sosuke.
