____Narration____
Looking at the fight with a serious expression, Yuji kept silent while the four girls behind him looked anxious , Karura being the most tense, for precisely knowing the technique that Raian was using.
'That shoulder throw... I believe even I would take some damage that I couldn't ignore, but this Raian just gets up as if nothing happened.' Yuji thought, his eyes narrowing. 'You've become very strong, Mokichi, but this guy... The removal along with his abnormal body makes him comparable to people like Julius Reinhold in physical strength, I don't know if pre-initiative alone will be enough to beat him.'
'Observe.'

'Damn, the difference in strength between the two is huge.' Yuji clenched his fist, his eyes landing on the man who was Mokichi's employer, a short old man who wore glasses.
With a complicated expression on his face, he moved to the man, touching his shoulder and getting his attention.
"Sir, be prepared to give up the fight at any moment." Yuji spoke. He knew this was something Mokichi would stop him from doing, but he wouldn't let Raian kill him if he could prevent it. Things had already changed, with Mokichi showing considerable superiority in technique compared to the young Kure, so there was no guarantee that Raian would just break his neck this time. Yuji didn't want to take any chances. "If Mokichi starts to get cornered, ask the referee to stop the fight. This Raian is not someone normal, he will definitely kill Mokichi if he gets the chance."
As hypocritical as he was being, since he would hate it if someone interrupted his fight if he was taking a beating, he couldn't care less. Maybe he had built up the mental toughness to kill people these past two years, but that was no good for losing his loved ones.
Besides, Elena didn't deserve to see her brother beaten to death in front of her eyes, and Kou had already lost a lot, having her believe that she lost Mokichi, was not something Yuji would let happen.
"Understand?" Yuji asked, him staring the man straight in the eye, causing him to swallow dryly as he nodded in agreement.
Satisfied with the answer, he turned his attention back to the arena, he took a deep breath as he saw the two men staring at each other.
'They will start.'
.
Boom!
"Gah!"
Mokichi spat out blood as a punch hit him in the stomach, his eyes widening in pain as he jumped backwards to take distance from Raian.
'Your speed... It's completely different from before!' He thought in shock, his eyes landing on Kure, who had an ear-to-ear grin on his face. 'I need to keep him from shortening the distance-'
"You won't run away~" With a single thrust, Raian swept the distance between the two in the blink of an eye, Mokichi reacting with a punch, which was easily parried by Kure, who struck back with a powerful hook, the priest's body being thrown away by the force of the attack.
"Now he's turned into a punching bag!" Shortening the distance between the two again, Raian launched a wave of attacks from various directions against Mokichi, the blond receiving most of them while desperately trying to block them.
'Fast...' Receiving a punch to his chin, Mokichi staggered, and before he could even raise his guard, another punch came, this time to his stomach. 'And heavy...'
Boom!
Being pushed away again by a punch, Mokichi gritted his teeth as he tried to strike back, only to have his attack repelled by a flurry of blows against his body.
'These blows are so simple and direct...' Mokichi thought, and as much as the blows were punishing him, he had no time to think about the pain in his body, his frustration increasing more and more as he was overwhelmed by such basic and predictable sequences . 'I'm being outclassed by amateur attacks?!'
Blocking a punch aimed at his chin, Mokichi grabbed Raian's wrist and tried to destabilize his stance, this proving ineffective when the Kure simply kicked his calf, Mokichi grunting in pain as his leg gave way from the force of the attack.
"!!"
Raising his head, Mokichi's eyes widened in dread when he saw Raian inches away from him.
"Gotcha!" Moving his hand to grab Mokichi's neck, the young Kure cracked a huge smile, his other hand closing into a fist to prepare to punch the blond man.
"!"
"What?!" That was the reaction of most people in the audience, their eyes wide in surprise at the scene unfolding in the arena.
"Uh?" Just as Raian was about to grab Mokichi by the neck, his opponent surprised him when he seemed to anticipate his movement as shown in the beginning of the fight, his wrist being grabbed as the blond moved to his side and pushed his body down, causing a pressure on Kure's shoulder, who was forced to bend over. "You son of a bitch."
Raian cursed, his smile still on his lips as he made no effort to escape that position. "What now? What are you going to do? Take me to the ground?"
[What a twist! Mokichi, who until then was being completely outclassed by Raian, has now turned the tables and caught him in a shoulder lock!]
Mokichi, who was breathing heavily, did not answer to Kure's question, his eyes slowly turning down to face his head.
"Sure, I'll take you down." He simply replied.
"!!"
Boom!
Taking Raian by surprise, a knee landed on his chin, he quickly shaking off the twist in his shoulder and grabbing his chin, his eyes turning to Mokichi, who was moving toward him in a zigzagging fashion.
'What is that? What's that footplay?" Raian was confused, 'Ugh, fuck it!"
The moment the distance between the two was shortened, Raian threw a punch in Mokichi's direction, his expression taking on shock as his blow went straight through his body, a punch to his jaw coming soon after, which surprisingly caused him to stagger.
'What the fuck is going on here?!" Kure asked in his mind, he landing his eyes on Mokichi, who was already in front of him again.
"Die!"
Trying to kick the blond's leg, he clenched his teeth in frustration when, again reading his movement, Mokichi stepped on his foot, causing him to lose his balance .
Boom!
Raian spat blood as a kick hit him squarely in the face, him staggering as his expression filled with confusion, Kure trying to understand how he was being outclassed even after he used his clan's technique.
'That priest, he's fucking good!' Raian praised the man in his mind, raising his head to see a wave of blows coming at his body.
Managing to resist most of them, he was unable to withstand the ones focused on his sensitive spots, frustration mounting each time he tried to counter-attack, only to have Mokichi pull away or deflect the trajectory of his attack.
'Fuck... I can't believe I'm going to be forced to use that.' Raian thought, his smile vanishing as he felt the fatigue of using [Removal] catching up with him.
'Fucking priest, you give you a point for that, but...' Grabbing the man's wrist before he backed away, Raian pulled his arm back as if preparing a punch. 'But I'm going to end this shit now!'
"!"
