The phone audio says as I watched Kota and Inu take a hiding under a bush. The camera then looked upfront and saw Jae-ha and an unknown boy taking a stance.
The other boy has a big body. He's enormous and I don't mean in a fat way but he is enormous and filled with muscles. The type you see around gyms. Jae-ha stood before him with a serious calculating face, he gazed at the boy's body, trying to find a weakness.
"Oy!" Jae-ha called to him, "Your move."
"Sasin…" The big boy said as he took a boxing stance.
Jae-ha stretched both his legs to the side and sat in the air. Right fist faces upwards and is kept by his right hip. Left palm stretches forward at the enemy.
In an instant the boy jumps slightly towards Jae-ha and jabs Jae-ha in the face with a speed the camera couldn't perceive.
Jae-ha, as if he predicted the move, ducked first before the boy executed the jab. Jae-ha's left foot moved forward and using his clenched fist he whipped it out straight, hitting the boy's stomach. The boy stumbled back as he lost all his strength, he tried to muster another punch yet was too weak to.
Jae-ha aimed at his solar eplix with an enormous amount of impact force. The boy was bound to be defeated after this move.
Not wasting another second, Jae-ha instantly moves his right knee and hits the boy's face. Both his hands are holding the boy's head. He kneed again and again and again. The boy fell down to the bloodied floor and laid there bathed in his own blood and sweat.
His face is deformed.
To my surprise the boy took another stand. He stood up weakly. His tall and big body towers Jae-ha's figure. He took another stance, the same boxing stance he used before.
Jae-ha's shocked face is visible.
The boy juggles his feet weakly and did a swift right hook at Jae-ha's face.
Jae-ha dodged.
He jabs.
Jae-hae dodged to the right.
He tried to body shot Jae-ha but he was too tall.
Jae-ha leaned his body backwards and the punch flew right by his face, millimeters apart.
Jae-ha loosened his uniform shirt.
The boy desperately tries to hit Jae-ha, but only to be effortly dodged every move he makes.
I see Jae-ha loosened his shirt once more. His naked body is visible to the camera, then all of a sudden the uniform was thrown at the boy's face, covering his vision.
The boy moves out of the uniform in a second, but it is over. That mere second worthed him lowering down his guards. Jae-ha took advantage of it and punched him in the face using a strong right hand.
The boy stumbled backwards again. Jae-ha ran and jumped, then holds the boy's head in place, and kneed him again midair.
The boy can't hold out any much longer, seen by his wavering body, swaying left to right as if there's no bone left to hold. He falls backward to the ground.
"Wow. Jae-ha knew the boy's defense was unbreakable, that's why he covered his vision to lower his guard." I mumbled, "Hmm… Seems like this Jae-ha has experience. It'll be challenging to defeat him. So this is the top 21's strength, huh."
Perfect wits, agility, strength, and perfect precision. This guy has no weakness! Hmm… But he always dodge instead of block or counter so I'm betting that his durability is low.
The only thing I need to do is to hit him once. Just once…
–
"What is Sasin doing here?" A student mumbles.
"I don't know."
"He wanted to meet Kenma. I overheard him speaking to one of the students." Another student says.
A footsteps can be heard coming from the toilet's direction.
"That's him."
"Kenma."
Kota can be seen by the side of the crowd. I see Inu-chan remained in her seat and doesn't seem to realize the events happening outside her classroom. She reads her manga with no intention to lift up her head.
"Oy!" Sasin who's a tad bit shorter than me calls out. "You're Kenma Houtarou?"
"Yes. We talked on the phone. You said you wanted to fight?"
"Mhm." He suddenly flares out his clothes and throws it on my head. I quickly remove the shirt and see a fist covering my vision.
I leaned back and successfully dodged the fist. I quickly turn around and see another fist enveloping my vision.
I caught the fist with my right hand inches away from my face and pushed Jae-ha using my body weight as a support for the force on impact.
And this cheeky bastard used the momentum of the push to jump on the left wall then bounced to the right wall and flew right at me with a fist stretched forward.
Not even 2 seconds later. Another fist covers my vision.
There's no other way but duck down. So I did, but then I saw Jae-ha's knee nearing my face.
'Shit! He baited me to duck.' I thought as I tried to stop the knee with both hands but the force of the knee pushed my hands and still hit my face.
I fell down to the ground and Jae-ha rolled down to safety behind me.
'Fast! Too fast! This pace. His movements are too sudden.' I thought as I urgently got back on my feet.
I turn around and see another fist nearing my face at such high velocity.
I blocked it with my right hand and tried to counter with a fast jab. He dodged to the left and jumped to the left wall to bounce back at me. Another fucking fist is coming at me.
I jumped backwards to gain range but he kept following me. He's matching my pace. No! He's not. He's making my pace faster and faster so that I can't keep up.
Another fist came and he spoke to me in a condescending manner, "Kenma. Your strength and weakness is those eyes of yours. I saw your recordings. You copied Makuza's technique in one glance. So I was thinking, Kenma…. If I covered your vision over and over and OVER again you can't use those cheat eyes of yours." He continues to blabber as he punches me over and over and I can't do anything but to back off.
'Shit! Shit! SHIT!' I jumped backwards. Jae-ha continues to come at me but I suddenly backflips while kicking Jae-ha's oncoming fist.
Finally, we stopped.
The students marveled and some opened their phones to record us. Jae-ha is half naked. I can see that his body is well trained.
"Oy! What the hell is that move?" Jae-ha asked.
I disappeared from my position and dived down to Jae-ha's hips.
Makuza style: Leg Grapple
I successfully hugged Jae-ha and tackled him down to the ground. I locked his leg with mine. I put both of his hands and held it with my left hand.
I punched him.
*BAM!*
And again.
*BAM!*
And again and again and again and again and again and again.
I thought he has weak durability. He should've died. But why? WHY?! Why is he still eyeing me?
The ceramic cracked.
I punched him again and again and again. Why won't he faint?
'Faint. Faint! FAINT! FAINT!'
"FAINT!"
I look at his face with an obnoxious grin plastered. He broke out of his grapple and rolled down to the side and instead locked me with his body on top of mine.
Before he traps my leg, I front kick him at his lower abdomens and roll backwards to safety.
'This guy! He's way out of my league! He's still standing. How? HOW?!' I thought.
"Kenma. I'm here to test out your skills." He said while cracking his shoulders. "I've seen enoug-
"Y- you were holding back were you?" I asked with my ego broken to pieces.
"Yes. But at the last second I didn't. You're strong Kenma, I gotta give you that."
'I can't. I can't just let him go away with this. But how? How can I defeat this monster? He has no weakness. How? How?! HOW?! Think Kenma, think!
Intrusive thoughts: Use that. That technique.
You must be joking. That technique? That was fiction you fuckwit.
Intrusive thoughts: I know, but try. We're running out of options here.'
I sighed "Fine then. Shit this is gonna look silly."
I faced my palms to him, my fist is facing him ergonomically and then... I bounced.
"What are you doing?" Jae-ha asked. "What is this weird stance? Your final form?" He laughed.
I closed my eyes and breath. I ignored the pain and exhaustion and opens my eyes once again and mumbled beneath my breath,
"Gear fourth: Bounceman."
