_____Narration_____
It was about 2 weeks ago that the former clerk at Yuji's gym was fired for stealing supplements, forcing Osanai to advertise the job opening. It was by chance that Sakura Hibiki, who was returning from a training session at the renowned Silverman Gym, saw some posters of the vacancy. As an unemployed student, she eventually became interested and decided to pay a visit to the place.
When she arrived at the place, she found it pleasant with how different it was compared to the Silverman Gym, which instead of having many muscular men training like crazy, was frequented mainly by teenagers and adults who lived nearby, as well as some novice boxers.
The quiet atmosphere was enough for her to apply for the position, surprisingly being the first to do so. Since Osanai couldn't stand standing at the counter for much longer, he didn't think much of it when he simply hired her, the girl starting a day later.
Hibiki had been in search of a boyfriend for some time, and when she started her first day, she couldn't help but appreciate the boys who frequented the place. Many caught her attention, since compared to the extremely muscular men she normally saw, they looked like ordinary athletes.
Nevertheless, she would not go out and hit on any of them, preferring to analyze which would be her perfect match, so that she would not end up disappointed like when she met her trainer, Machio.
This continued for two weeks, until when she was reading a magazine bored at the reception counter, she met the most handsome man she had ever seen in her life.
"Hi." Yuji spoke with a smile.
'I have found my soul mate.' Hibiki thought as she appreciated the appearance of the man in front of her.

After saying goodbye, Yuji left the gym with a small smile. After a few hours of talking and teaching Osanai a few tricks regarding boxing, he decided it was time to leave.
During this party, he didn't have much opportunity to talk to the girl, Hibiki, since Osanai and the others were taking up a lot of his time. This disappointed him a little, but at any time he could return to the place to see her, after all, the gym was actually his.
As he started walking down the sidewalk, the sound of footsteps suddenly caught his attention, causing him to turn around to see the girl from earlier running toward him.
"Wait!" He heard the girl ask, her eyebrow raising in a curious expression as she stopped in front of him. "M-My name is Sakura Hibiki, keep this, please."
She offered a piece of paper, which Yuji took and began to read its contents.
'My phone number: XXXX-XXXX. Call me.'
The boy was surprised by the role, feeling like an idiot when he realized that he completely forgot that he could have asked for her number from the beginning.
Turning his attention back to the girl, he blinked in confusion when he saw her running away.
As calmly as everything occurred, Hibiki needed all the courage she could muster to hand over her number to the boy, and afraid of a rejection, she began to run with nervousness the moment Yuji took the paper.
He laughed as he realized this.
"Well, it's late, so I'll leave it to visit Senju and Elena in the morning."
Saving the girl's number in his phone, he walked back.
.
Near his home, Yuji stopped walking when a place caught his eye, his eyes wandering to a bar across the street for a few seconds.
"..."
During his trip around the world he tasted many kinds of drinks, and he liked them a lot, although after a while the effects of alcohol stopped affecting him, no matter how much he drank. Still, he liked to taste different kinds of drinks, to rank them in his mind. It turned out to be a Hobbie, so to speak.
Opening a small smile, he crossed the street and entered the bar, immediately noticing how empty the place was. Of course, this was not a problem, since he preferred to drink without a bunch of drunks making noise, but it was strange how on a weekend the place was not full of people.
Sitting in front of the counter, the bartender immediately seeing him and moving toward him.
"What would you like?" The bartender asked, Yuji noting the man's features with curiosity. He had white hair and brown skin like himself, an unusual appearance even for Yuji, who at this point had seen all sorts of people. Nevertheless, his appearance was not what really caught his attention, but rather the fact that the boy felt as if he knew him.
"I would like the best drink in the house."
The bartender nodded in agreement and turned around, beginning to prepare the drink. Meanwhile, Yuji was trying to dig into his mind, trying to remember where he knew the man in his mind from. This continued for several seconds, until an expression of realization came over his face.
"You are Himuro Ryo, aren't you?"
The bartender paused for a moment, only to prepare the drink again.
"Or perhaps you would prefer to be called The Icy Emperor?"
The moment he mentioned the nickname of the Kengan fights, the bartender placed Yuji's drink in front of him, he picked it up and took a sip.
"Nice." Yuji complimented as he tasted the drink.
The one now revealed as Himuro, began cleaning the utensils he used to prepare the drink while looking at Yuji, who drank with a small smile, the man's eyes narrowing.
"What do you really want?" Himuro asked coolly.
Yuji, who just kept drinking with a calm expression, remained silent while enjoying his drink. He had not come to the place with the intention of meeting Himuro, so he gave some thought to what to do. Before he came to this world, the man in front of him had become one of his favorite characters from Kengan Ashura, because of the fighting style they both shared. Yuji's view of Himuro was quite positive, but despite this, he couldn't control the urge to confront him.
He wondered how his Jeet Kune Do compared to someone like Himuro.
"I wanted to have some fun with some exercise..." Finishing his drink, Yuji placed his glass on the counter, a dangerous smile appearing on his lips as he turned his gaze to the man. "So, how about a match?"
