Chungsan, gestured to the number two, the monster who was actually stronger the Chen Ji in a fight. But lacked charisma and leadership abilities, Siwoo Lee.
"The number two of Golden Age has his position on the line! ..... Siwoo Leeeeeeee! Now are there any challengers?!"
Chungsan paused to turn to look at them but no one moved. He started to count down 5….4….2…1….0 !!! There are no challengers!!"
Chungsan cleared his throat before continuing, "well then moving on! I present to you the number 1 executive position directly below the head! Chen Ji!!!!!"
He did a dramatic flourish as he turned to point at Chen Ji.
Chen Ji was sweating out of nervousness, he was scared not of fighting for his executive position, but of the man upstairs.
He could make out his silhouette on the third floor but couldn't see his face since their were no lights installed in the construction site, but he could see that Zero had taken off his helmet.
-I'll fight anybody but that monster, he's stronger then anybody I've met. Stronger then all the executives I've met combined, but if I can just prove my worth and hold a high rank someone like him will lead us into prosperous times, a golden age- Chen Ji chuckled at his own joke as he walked into the makeshift ring.
" Chen Ji !Chen Ji ! Chen Ji!"
The crowd chanted his name and cheered, he walked into the center of the ring, he looked out and could tell that there were at least 200-250 people here.
-This place is pretty secluded but still this many people?But that's not what's important-
He glanced up to the third story again, the same figure cloaked in shadows stood.
-I need to put on a show of my skills and impress him, it's a miracle he's giving me a second chance, and a chance to be the top ranked executive at that!-
Chen Ji glanced over at Chungsan, his former subordinate, -well if I win he will still be my subordinate. I will win no matter who it is !-
"We'll now! Who will be his challengeeeerrrr!"
He looked over, almost immediately a hand went up. The guy looked unimpressive at first glance he was lean, but at second glance it was lean muscle.
-I'm not getting the sense that he's that dangerous but he wouldn't challenge me if he wasn't confident."
Chungsan waited for others to raise their hand, but none did.
"5….4….3…..2….1! Well then our challenger is confirmed! Come up here!"
The man had a strange gait as he walked, Gyun caught the strange sense he was getting.
-Those movements and way of walking, he's someone who specializes in nimble and flexible movements his lean frame and leg muscles. He's either a gymnast or someone who's trained in some sort of dance in the past. An unorthodox style for sure-
But Chen Ji didn't catch the minute details, "he walks weird, is he some sort of gimp?"
Chungsan heard this but ignored it, "and what is our challengers name ?!"
"Minjun Jung, 17 years old, runaway" he said announcing it to the crowd
"Jung huh?" Chungsan turned to look at where Dohyun was standing.
"Related?"
"Yes"
"Interesting" Chungsan replied in a quiet voice, but raised his volume again.
"Well then you know the drill 3 minutes to put in your bets then we'll be starting!"
————————————-
3 minutes later
"Well now that you've got your bets in! Are we ready to see a fight!"
"Yes!!!" The crowd replied back
"Then let the fight begiiinnn!"
Chen Ji's stance was weird looking as it was a cross between boxing and MMA, he'd picked up the stance from a sunbae (1) a few years back. He still used it to this day. Because it kept his chin protected his hands mobile to throw punches or block. And gave him a solid center of balance.
O the other hand Minjuns stance was strange he had his hands up in a guard but the difference was his legs they were crossed instead of open.
Chen Ji feel insulted, "hey fucker are you taking this seriously!"
"Yes"
Minjun did not change his stance, neither moved yet, Chen Ji looked up at the figure of Zero.
-I can't disappoint him-
He charged forward extending a punch being careful to no overcommit keeping his guard.
Even still he barely blocked the kick,
"The hell was that?!"
The crowd was in confusion
But Chen Ji felt it now, the fact how the advantage he thought he had at the beginning of the match was just a lie.
He now understood this man stood on equal ground with him.
He smirked -if worse comes to worse I can just trade blow for blow, I've refined my toughness and the art of being hit while minimizing damage.
He pressed forward once again determined to break his opponent

Meanwhile
"What a strange method of increasing rotational speed, of course he loses power but it's so fast that it'd be impossible for almost every to react unless you were expecting it, don't you think?"
Solhee nodded as she closely watched the fight.
"He uses a ballet pose and his core and balance to spin and deliver a fast kick from a different angle in your blindspot."
Gyun chuckled, -but at the end of the day it's just a party trick, nothing more. It might work in a point based match, but here it's going to get you beat, oh! I see-
Gyun's thoughts changed as he saw the tide of victory change again. "Honestly what an unpredictable man" he muttered under his breath.
