___Narration___
Taira Genzan could only watch in amazement as Yuji repeated a few moves in front of him. He still found it absurd that someone so young could perfect himself in such a short time.
It was enough for the old master to correct him only once, so that Yuji could make his movements almost perfect.
The fact that he did not reach perfection, was due to a single factor: Experience.
Even if Yuji could replicate any technique, Genzan knew that without using them in real combat, it was impossible to reach the highest level.
But he wouldn't be surprised if the boy reached that level in a single fight. With what had already been shown, this was not an unthinkable possibility by any means.
"Your form has improved greatly, I fear you may even surpass me in a few more years." Genzan joked, his words drawing a small smile from Yuji.
"I think you're giving yourself too much glory, old man." Stopping his movements, Yuji sat down on the ground to rest. Even if physically he didn't get tired, he could still get tired mentally. "Maybe you should sit down and just watch how the younger ones outdo you."
Yuji had come to appreciate the presence of the old master. He was good company, not only for training, but for conversation as well. They often ended up discussing martial arts, techniques, and styles. He felt himself learning more and more from the perspective of someone so wise.
And with Genzan, it was not so different. Even dead, he was learning interesting things from the younger boy.
"These young people today, getting prouder and prouder." Genzan muttered as he shook his head.
Yuji rolled his eyes as he listened to him, stood up and resumed his posture.
!
Sensing a bit of hostility directed at him, Yuji turned to Genzan with his guard up, but seeing him sitting there with no intention of attacking left him confused.
'What was that? I swear I felt something.' Looking around carefully, he relaxed at not seeing anything out of the ordinary. 'Why am I alert? It's my mind, what could happen?'
Boom!
Raising his arms to block an attack, Yuji had his body thrown far away.
'Damn! Too early to talk.'
Using his feet to stop his momentum, he quickly raised his guard, his eyes landing on his forearms for a moment before returning forward to find a figure forming before his eyes.
'It looks like it hit my bones directly! It's as if your attack has ignored my muscles.' He groaned in pain as he opened and closed his hands. 'Who is this guy? Kure style master?'
Watching the dispute in the distance, Genzan scratched his chin as he saw Yuji groan in pain, realizing almost immediately which technique had been used against him.
'I see, so this man also came here.'
!
Yuji, who was paying attention to the new figure, was surprised when it swept the distance between the two in a single instant, forcing him to raise his defense to block a wave of attacks.
Feeling the force behind the attacks, he realized that he couldn't block them for a long time, so the instant a punch was thrown in his direction, he parried it and tried to manipulate its flow of power.
But before he completed his move, his eyes widened as he felt his body being projected, his own flow of power manipulated to place him upside down in mid-air.
'That's...' Realizing which style he was up against, Yuji gritted his teeth as he rotated his body and hit the figure with a kick to push it away. "Niko style!"
Landing on the ground, he quickly turned to face the figure.
"Oh, you pick things up fast." The figure suddenly commented, his body beginning to take shape. "That's quite surprising."
Having his face sampled, the figure turned out to be the former master of the Niko Style.
Niko Tokita
Yuji's eyes widened at the sight of him. If he wasn't confident before, he would be now. The idea of having the Niko Style master teach him was encouraging.
He could even say that receiving the teachings of Niko himself, it would not take long for him to surpass even Ohma in his own martial art.
Considering that since Ohma had recovered his memories, his abilities had improved astronomically, and this Yuji could tell just by watching him.
"So, could you tell me what the hell is going on, and..." Niko pointed directly at Genzan, who was sitting in the distance, "Why is that old man here too?"
Yuji realized that he would lose a few hours of explanation.
.
Charles Choi had decided to attend the annihilation tournament for one reason only: to find the one who had beaten not only Gun, but also Goo, to offer him a proposition.
But he did not expect to find out that the boy was so influential.
He hoped to lure him with money, and give him a place to set up his own group in Korea, but Yuji had strength, and money being Katahara Metsudo's main bodyguard would definitely not be a concern.
He still remembered well what had happened in the alley. He had shown a power that Charles had never seen before, a power that had made him very interested. It was a pity that the boy had avoided prolonging the confrontation.
Unfortunately, hooking him with money or power was no longer an option. Charles would have to hook him in another way.
Perhaps something emotional, after all, through his investigations he had discovered that Yuji had left many friends in Korea.
Charles already had an idea of what to do, but he would leave it for later, for now he would be enjoying the tournament.
