__________Mokichi Pov____________
As proud as I was to see Yuji using the Baritsu so proficiently, I was prepared to stop the fight at any moment.
It was clear that his body was on the verge of collapse. Honestly, I didn't know how the boy was staying on his feet.
His fighting intent was exploding from his body wildly, and he seemed determined to keep fighting even though his body was refusing to continue. This was quite a scene to see, few fighters and even warriors could emanate such intent. But that didn't surprise me too much, after all, Yuji's potential was the most monstrous I had ever seen. It probably surpassed Metsudo's Fangs, considering his growth in such a short time.
Turning my attention downward, I noticed the little girl Yuji had met when he arrived with a look full of concern and his hands together, as if praying for the boy. This made me smile a little. The boy seemed to care about the little girl, so I wouldn't be surprised if he asked me to take care of her. I really wouldn't have a problem with that, Elena would certainly appreciate the company.
Turning my gaze to the fight, I squinted my eyes as Yuji began to walk slowly toward Agito.
'What are you thinking about?'

__________Yuji Pov____________
Walking slowly toward Kanoh, I focused my attention on his face, the man with his usual serious look. He didn't seem to consider me a danger, so I would take advantage of that for a surprise attack. With Koei style, I could do this without difficulty.
"..."
When the man blinked, I moved almost instantly, propelling my body and emerging at his side in an instant, my fist exploding toward his chin at full speed.
Boom!
The sound caused by the impact echoed for several meters around, silence taking over soon after as I watched my fist with shock all over my face.
Seconds before the blow hit him, Kanoh raised his shoulder to block. Initially, I didn't worry about this, since my punch had enough force and speed to push him backward.
What I didn't expect, was to see his muscles suddenly stiffen, making me feel like I was hitting the hardest metal in existence.
Jumping backward to escape a backhand like an uppercut, I raised my hand in front of my face to see my broken fingers, my forehead frowning in pain as I tried to close my hand.
'I see...' Letting my hand fall to my side, I thought as I stared at Agito with intensity, the man undoing his stance as he returned my gaze. 'He tightened his muscles at the moment of impact. I vaguely remember something like that appearing in Kengan Ashura. Some time ago, I could only dream of doing something like that...'
Opening a small smile, I exploded towards Agito, sweeping the distance between our bodies quickly. With a swift kick, I hit the side of his thigh, quickly rotating my body and kicking his abdomen, only to have him block the blow with his forearms.
Pulling away, Agito moved to intercept me, the man launching a hook toward my rib at a frightening speed.
'Now!'
Seeing the blow approaching, I lowered my arm to block the blow with my biceps.
Boom!
Tightening my muscles, I felt the spot stiffening, my fibers condensing to become hard as a rock, so that the moment the blow came, my body was thrown backward, but the damage became almost negligible.
[Congratulations! You have learned [Indestructible]]
Smoke emanated from the scene, a confident smile on my lips as I looked at Agito's expression, the man with the eyebrows raised in surprise.
"I see... Your talent really..." He cracked a smile, this serving to chill every hair on my body.
Boom!
"Gah!" I choked as he swept our distance in a single thrust, his fist hitting me squarely in the rib, my body being lifted into the air for a second, only to be pushed into a ground by fist coming down on my face like a sledgehammer, my back hitting the concrete hard.
"It's magnificent."
Using the strength of my arms, completely ignoring my broken fingers, I pushed myself away with my hands, quickly getting up as my body staggered, blood all over my face as I could see my messy hair over my eyes.
Breathing heavily, I pinched my nose as I expelled the pooling blood, my eyes widening as a wide smile appeared on my lips.
Suddenly, Agito's every move was flashed through my mind in an instant, counterstrikes to each of his attacks popping into my head as if I were watching the most interesting movie of my life. For every move he could make, I now had a counterattack.
My smile widened even more, a feeling of superiority taking over me as I grabbed my broken fingers, and put them back in place as if it were nothing.
'That feeling of epiphany is back.' I thought, pulling back my hair and taking a deep breath for a moment, before adhering a low posture. 'That's what I needed.'

__________Agito Pov___________
The boy was improving during this short confrontation, I noticed this immediately. His talent was monstrous, he was not letting me down in any way.
The fact that he could replicate my technique just by looking was amazing. The hardening of the muscles is not simple by any means. It requires meticulous control over the muscles, as well as highly honed reflexes, because you have to stiffen them the moment the blow hits the spot, or the technique won't work.
"..." Noting his condition, I squinted my eyes as I saw the clear difference the boy was emanating.
Something had changed, and considering the shocked reaction of Shigenosuke's descendant, he realized it too. This made me curious to know what the boy was up to.
"Uh?" I suddenly turned my gaze forward, my eyes meeting the boy's face inches from me, a smile on his lips that I knew all too well.
Boom!
I raised my guard as the boy started to hit me with several punches, my eyebrows raising in surprise. His punches were much faster and more powerful, the difference between a few minutes and before was clear, almost monstrous.
'That boy...' Grabbing his fist, a knee to my chin surprised me. 'Has he evolved?'
Opening a smile full of teeth, I received a full punch to the face, quickly countering with a hook to his ribcage, he clearly feeling the pain but ignoring it as he grabbed my wrist and tried to pull me down.
Boom!
Interrupting his attack, I kicked his torso, his body flying backwards until it crashed into a wall, destroying it. I had been holding back my blows from the beginning, but this last kick had taken much of my strength. Whether the boy could stand after this, even I was no longer sure.
Dust rose from where he was standing, my eyes squinting as I watched the boy rise from the wreckage with difficulty, my eyes turning to his abdomen to see his stiff muscles.
"Mister Agito, are you taking it easy on me? I barely felt that kick."
My smile widened even more.
'Yuji Shinakawa, you are an interesting boy.'
