10 years ago, Jasper had decided to join a martial arts dojo.
Jasper did not have a fighting background and so had no clue about fighting while the other members of the dojo were a lot stronger than him.
He was always heavily banged up every time he went to the dojo but this did not stop him and like a maniac he would again go the next day. This continued and he ended up going there for the last 10 years.
The benefits of fighting and practicing for 10 years were shown when Jasper realized that due to the close proximity and speed of the masked person it would be impossible to evade its strike. So instead of trying to dodge he used the shield to deflect the blow in a way to minimize the impact on the shield. Thus letting him sustain such a heavy and powerful blow.
However the blow was much more powerful than Jasper had expected and he was forced to stagger a few steps back while the masked person did not seem to be affected by it.
But the masked person was surprised by Jasper's quick thinking and reaction alas that was all and it kept continuing its onslaught of attacks on Jasper. The masked person never had useless thoughts during a battle as it considered it dangerous and could also lead to its loss.
Due to gaining some distance from the masked person Jasper was able to get a respite of a few seconds which helped him him in dodging the next strikes.
The masked person was a little annoyed by how things were progressing so it decided to take things to the next level. It increased its speed, strength , agility, precise movements and other attributes to the next level. Jasper considered the masked person strength as scary so when it displayed strength on the next level he was terrified from inside.
But he knew that in a fight even if he was terrified and scared of his opponent he could never show it on his face for that fear might give unwanted confidence to his opponent.
Although a person's expression did not seem to a be a big deal this was actually not true. If Jasper showed a terrified expression just as he was feeling from the inside then it would give assurance to the masked person that he was supremely stronger than Jasper.
However because his expression did not change it developed a small hint of doubt that Jasper was stronger than he looked because he was not terrified. After all expressions were one of the simplest ways to know how one was feeling.
So to the masked person it seemed that Jasper was still calm and collected not afraid as he had expected him to be.
At this moment Jasper suddenly decided to open his mouth," Is that all you have got? I have to say that I have meet people tougher than you and no matter how strong you are it will not be able to scare me."
This comment seemed to have struck a chord on the masked person as he asks Jasper menacingly," Do you think that I am not strong?"
The truth was that the masked person was the strongest fighter based on raw strength Jasper had ever met so for him the masked person was very strong. But Jasper had a feeling that the masked person was distracted from their fight and the question he had asked Jasper might have been asking to someone else not present at this moment.
Jasper felt that if he played his card correctly then it could effect the masked persons actions might turn the fight in his favour, "Yes."
The Masked Person expression turns ugly and something unfathomable shines in its eyes as it thinks
'A lowly Blue World animal dares to look down on me. I will make him pay with blood and teach him his place. But I must make sure that I win this battle no matter what it takes so that master and I do not separate.
According to the promise master made to me if I am able to defeat every opponent I face then he would take me with him. After coming a long way to fulfill this condition I can see finally see the end.
He told me has already conformed that today would be last battle for deciding whether I go with him or not so I cannot lose.'
After the masked person came to this conclusion he starts smiling at Jasper and attacks him.
At the same time Jasper was also thinking about somethings intensely
'This battle has been one-sided from the beginning with the odds being in the Masked Persons favour however I have been able to drag the battle for four minutes now. If I last for a minute longer then I will win.
Although I have no idea if winning or rather lasting for five minutes will change the current situation but it is the only hope and lead I have got at the moment.'
The Masked Person used his unlocked superior strength to pummel Jasper down to the ground intending to crush him. However, Jasper was able to offset some of the shock from the attack by using techniques and martial arts known to him.
The martial art Jasper had used was known as ' Mountain ' which gained its name because it was used to stand your ground. It used a person's back and leg strength in abundance.
In addition Jasper also had a shield in his hands which helped to decrease the momentum of the masked person's attack.
This how Jasper was able to sustain a blow that was supposed to incapacitate him but was only able to push him back and make him lose his balance. The fact that Jasper used a martial art technique known for ' standing your ground ' but still lost his balance went to show the insane amount of strength release by the masked person.
Jasper gets up immediately after losing his balance and prepares for another bout with the masked person but when he looks ahead he is surprised to see the masked person standing still in its place instead of not attacking him. The immediate change of behaviour in the masked person alerted him that something big was about to happen.
Jasper also realized that this was a golden chance to inflict heavy damage on the masked person who had no defence and he also wary whatever it was plotting.
Jasper moves swiftly towards the masked person and uses another martial arts technique called 'Piercer'. The name was similar to Jasper's surname but that was just a coincidence. The purpose of ' Piercer ' was to dig into the opponents body and disrupt the internal organs. This was often used on opponents that had hard and tough body.
To better explain the attack it was quite similar to a bullet making a hole in a human body. Due to its high acceleration and low surface area contact the momentum of the bullet had the capacity to kill someone on the spot depending on the location the bullet was fired. Jaspers ' Piercer' used this principle to cause heavy damage to the masked person.
The masked person's body obviously fell into this criteria and from the techniques known by Jasper it was the only technique that could inflict the highest damage to the masked person.
There were other techniques that could inflict a lot of damage but this was only true when the opponents body was not as strong as the masked person. These techniques were made in the Blue World so there was no way a technique with consideration for someone as physical strong as The Masked Person was created. It was a miracle that a technique capable of effecting The Masked Person existed in the Blue World. One can only wonder under what conditions such a technique was created.
Jaspers strikes reached the innards of the masked person making small invisibles holes in its body.
The pain caused by these strikes were nothing to scoff at and The Masked Person felt the sensation of many knifes cutting through his body in regular intervals. The pain was so intense that it made the Masked Person lose his concentration and stop whatever he had been planning to do a few moments back.
Jasper had expected the masked person to be embarrassed with his current situation but instead he seemed rather calm and collected unlike the way he had been when they talked before.
Jasper had a premonition that he might have awaken something more dangerous than he could ever imagine was about to happen. It even decide to talk again," You should have taken the easy way out. Before I had planned to only make you embarrassed but I have decided that its not enough for me so I am going crush your will to live."
Jasper replied coolly," We will see about that, won't we"
