____Narration____
"We saw you using the flicker style, so I brought Kaneda with us. He's pretty stubborn, but we all know that throwing yourself into the arena with so little information would be suicide." In the break room where Yuji and the girls were, Himuro was holding Kaneda by the arm as he spoke, "That's why I wanted you to practice with him. As much as I lost to him, I can't accept him being destroyed in the first round."
"Thank you for the vote of confidence." Kaneda muttered dejectedly.
Yuji, who was silent as he watched the two men, just turned to Akira with his eyebrows raised in questioning, his friend only responding with a nervous laugh.
With a sigh, the teenager shrugged and turned his attention back to the two men. Yuji didn't mind helping Kaneda, as long as even if he somehow won, he couldn't defeat Kanoh. Fortunately for the fighter, Yuji was quite knowledgeable about Gaolang, since he was quite an influential figure in the boxing world.
But this knowledge was more than enough to say that his victory was almost impossible, since compared to the Thai God of War , Kaneda was extremely average. In fact, he was average even in terms of the Kengan association.
Yuji had to praise his foresight. No doubt, if Kaneda's body were not so fragile, he would be a great power in this world.
"All right." He agreed. Even though he didn't think Kaneda would win, it wouldn't hurt to help the man. Besides, should he win, it would be an interesting sight. "I will wear MMA gloves, but you will have your hands free."
Even though it was not Kaneda's intention to ask Yuji for help, the man was clearly excited. Having watched his fight against Mikazuchi Rei, Kaneda was in the mood to test the boy himself. A teenager beating an experienced assassin with a unique style? It was the kind of thing you only see in anime. It was clear that all fighters were excited by such an outcome, and he was no different.
"Okay!"
.
Standing facing each other, Kaneda looked at Yuji with sweat gathering on his forehead. Even if this was about a training to help him, he couldn't stop himself from getting anxious, after all, there was a monster in front of him. It was even scarier than Himuro exuding killing intent.
"Gaolang's style is... Dangerous." While adjusting his glove, Yuji set to talking. "Don't be fooled into thinking he's just a boxer."
Kaneda and Gaolang's fight was vague in his mind since he didn't pay much attention to that fight himself, but the boxer's fight against Metsudo's Fangs was still on his mind. This combined with him having studied about the boxer, led him to understand quite a bit of his style. Gaolang had mastery of both boxing and Muay Thai, but Yuji believed that Kaneda would not need to worry about his kicks, since it would be very difficult to get him to use them.
"He's an experienced fighter, and he knows how to deal with Grapplers, so it's a risky move to try to grab him." Yuji said, quickly punching the air a few times. "But keeping your distance isn't a smart plan either, since you'll be targeted by dozens of punches."
Kaneda nodded in agreement, although he knew he couldn't use his foresight if he chose an offensive approach.
"He's taller, and has a bigger wingspan, plus he's stronger than you, and faster." Yuji continued to speak, turning to Kaneda as he began to set up his stance. "It will be easier to show you than to explain."
Kaneda upon hearing this, quickly raised his guard as Yuji turned toward him, the teenager's left arm swinging freely in front of his body in a perfect replica of the flicker style.
"I'll be honest with you." Yuji spoke, Kaneda's eyes narrowing as he saw him approach. "You don't stand a chance against him."
"!"
The instant Kaneda took his attention off Yuji's fist, his body was immediately targeted by heavy blows, the older fighter reacting only to try to grab the teenager's wrist, who retracted his arm before he could do so.
Kaneda staggered, barely able to steady himself as he turned his attention to Yuji, who was bouncing in front of him with a serene expression.
'I... I counted 11 punches in a single breath...' Kaneda clenched his cheek, sweat beading down his forehead as he looked at Yuji warily.
"Oh, you were able to keep up with my punches." The boy spoke with surprise. "It's a shame you can't move fast enough to handle them."
Boom!
Before Kaneda could fully recover from the first strike, Yuji attacked again, several Jabs being launched towards the fighter's body, who despite keeping up with them, was unable to escape them.
Himuro seeing this, couldn't help but get thoughtful. In his fight against Yuji, he had not demonstrated such speed, so he could only believe that the boy was taking it easy on him from the start. Thinking about it was quite frustrating, but he wasn't shaken by it. In fact, it only served to make him even more eager to train, something he had neglected over the past few years.
While blocking his punches, at one point Kaneda began to get used to Yuji's speed, shifting his torso enough to change the places he would be hit. This served to lessen the damage he received, but still, if he continued to receive punches in this manner, one day or another he would be knocked out.
'What a monster.' The man thought, his eyes glittering just as a punch was about to reach his face. 'But even monsters can be knocked down.'
"!"
The moment the blow hit him, Kaneda followed the punch and moved his body slightly from the point of impact, this causing Yuji's fist to slide down the cheek of the man, who using this moment, quickly grabbed the boy's wrist and elbow.
Boom!
" Well done ." Yuji's back hit the ground, he immediately praising Kaneda for the technique.
The older fighter, taking advantage of this moment, tried to apply an arm key to the boy, but surprising everyone, a punch landed in Kaneda's face, pushing him away.
'What?' Kaneda wondered with shock in his eyes. 'How can he punch that hard lying down?'
"Have you forgotten what I said? Don't be fooled into thinking that Gaolang is just a boxer. Punching in unorthodox positions will be something you'll have to deal with." Yuji stood up, his eyes moving to Kaneda, who was breathing heavily. "Let's call it a day. Your fight will be soon, and it won't be good to accumulate bruises in one training session."
Kaneda, hearing this, let his back slam against the ground, his breathing heavy as sweat drenched his body.
"Thanks... I think I have an idea for dealing with Gaolang." Kaneda said with a tired smile on his lips.
Yuji raised his eyebrow upon hearing this. As much as he believed that Kaneda would not win, this little practice would surely lead to having something interesting happen in the arena.
It would be fun to watch.
