Chereads / TWO SIDES OF THE SAME COIN / Chapter 19 - Training

Chapter 19 - Training

Zeke didn't wanna stay at school or go home, weird had been happening at those places so he rushed from home to the gym. At the gym he saw not many people came over today, mostly cus of the demons, he didn't see his usual instructor either, he got used to steve and he enjoyed this work outs but without him it didn't seem fun at all. Zeke was looking through the activities on the notice board when he noticed the self defense class comprising of taekwondo, mixed martial arts, karate and even some Kung Fu. Seeing this zeke remembered the demon slayer he saw in the news fighting the demon, immediately he got an idea

for once I agree with your line of thought grimm said

He immediately paid for the self defence class, when he was asked which he would like to pay for he said all of them. he took the elevator to the top floor and walked into a huge hall full of different groups and mats all over the place, it was like a gymnasium for a wrestling or karate tournament except there where different sports and events, at the center was a huge stage like a ring for matches

ok now which one do I start with

why don't you fight them all

what! are you crazy

It may sound crazy but trust me, I know you better than anyone, you learn faster on the job than being taught, as for this, you'll learn as you fight, just try to remember my fight with the demon slayer, what I can do you can do too grimm said. He wasn't wrong but he's main reason for suggesting this was just to fight all these so called fighters

Zeke thought about it, it was also a chance for him to text his strength against a well trained combatant so he didn't and he didn't see any harm in trying so decided to try it out. He walked up to one of the groups and which turned out to be a kickboxing mix martial arts groups

umm excuse me, which group is this he said tapping one of the members

oh it's kick boxing

oh so umm who's the coach, he's right over there the guy pointed towards the man explaining a technique for tackling someone to the ground.

While he was explaining zeke called out to him but the coach just said if he's new he should sign up pointing at his assistant but zeke refused, seeing that the coach was busy zeke had no choice but to yell

I came to challenge the kick boxing club

There was silence in the hall as zeke challenge was heard by everyone in the hall not just the kick boxers, the caoch stopped what he was doing and walks to zeke

well at least I have his attention now zeke thought, I came here looking for a worthy opponent, I'm sorry but I can't just join a group if I don't know how good they are zeke said

the coach looked annoyed, a teenager was calling his teaching unworthy

your think your some big shot that you can just walk in here, interrupt my lesson and issue a challenge to the hole group?

I'll teach your cocky ass a lesson, tyler! the coach yelled and a dark haired, tall muscular boy came over, he the turned to zeke you wanted a challenge right well coke over here you'll fight him

Zeke was nervous, he was sure he could hold his own but this was the first time he was fighting someone and this many people where watching, it felt like he was on stage and the spot lights where all on him

hey can you let me take over

what! no

relaxed I won't kill him I just wanna have some fun

have you forgotten my appearance changes whenever you take over

hey

don't worry I can control it

hellow!

I'm not sure about this just let me handle this

hey can you hear me

uhh your such a buzz kill

heey!

huh

I've been calling you for the past 30 seconds, stop spacing out the coach said annoyed

oh right my back

Zeke rased his fists up ready for the match to start

looking at him even the rookies knew he had no form of training at all, he didn't have expensive clothes so he wasn't a rich kid, what exactly was he trying to prove.

begin the coach said starting the match

Tyler looked at Zeke from head to toe then took a fighting stance, he threw a punch and Zeke dodged only to see a kick coming towards his leg, he stepped back dodging it. Zeke wasn't skilled and neither was grimm buy what they were was super human, he was fast enough to react to the attacks.

that's it just watch him and try to copy his moves

I know

Tyler was surprised, zeke didn't look like a fighter at all, he looked average buy with very long hair covering half his face so how was he able to react fast enough, Tyler was the second best student in the group so it definitely a surprise that zeke was able to react to him, the fight went on and like before zeke was reacting to Tyler, dodging ever attack untile he countered with a kick of his own to the leg bringing tyler to the floor, it was a kick that tyler had been trying on zeke but failed everytime, from watching this the coach knew instantly zeke was learning as the match went on

he has fast reflexes and reaction time plus he's studying tyler's moves, if I didn't know any better I would have thought this guy could fight really well but something is right her, if he was a good at fighting he would have exchanged blows but all he's been doing is dodging. This is his first counter attack meaning his learning on the spot, this kid is a protege

the match continued with Tyler trying to land a hit and zeke just dodging everything untile he tried a counter attack again, this time a punch, expecting this tyler moved his head to the side, grabbed zeke and tried throw him onto the mat but zeke didn't budge

this kid is too sturdy, how much does he way the coach thought

Zeke threw a punch landing directly on tyler's jaw making him fall back

wow he brought tyler down with one punch

is he like a pro kick boxing or something it's like he's toying with tyler

the others where watching in amazement, at first they thought zeke was just a loud mouth asshole who just wanted to get his ass kicked for no reason but he was proving them wrong. Tyler got up annoyed that he was taken back by a single punch and it hurt a lot

common are you going to keep running all day, show me some moves tyler said getting in a fighting stance again

Zeke went in with a punch but tyler countered with a spinning back kick to the midsection, zeke stepped a foot back buy that was it, it was a sfrong kick but to zeke it felt like someone used a really strong pillow to hit him, zeke took the same stance tyler had been taking and proceeded to do exactly all the moves tyler had used against him, thoee countered them all but zeke either blocked or dodged them, it was clear zeke was copying tyler's moves and was slowly getting use to his fighting style

this kid, he isn't just copying him he's adapting on the spot, learning as the fight prgresses the coach thought, if this keeps up Tyler will loose

Just like the caoch thought, tyler was slowly losing, every counter he tried didn't work cus zeke just won't budge or dodged or blocked it. Eventually tyler fell to a series of combo attacks and finally got KO'd by an uppercut that broke his jaw

I held back so how did it break zeke thought

The match was over and zeke won to the shock of everyone, zeke stood there amazed at himself, he didn't know if it was thanks to his new powers or he could do this all along but he was definitely happy with it which led to more questions, what else could he learn in this manner.

the coach was about talking to zeke when another person stepped up

alright, I'll be your next opponent
