Chapter 20 - Another Child's Play

Zigion carefully observed Axel and abruptly said, "Could you remove your hood so that I can clearly see your face?"

"I have to say no to that." Axel replied.

"Then I guess I'll have to do it by myself!" Zigion stated and immediately tried rushing towards Axel.

But after he took more than half a step, He instantly stumbled on the ground with his face slamming unto the floor.

"Huh!?" Zigion exclaimed, Noticing the Strings that suddenly binded his foot. "What are these?"

Axel then raised his hands, Releasing a massive amount of strings that wrapped all over Zigion's body.

"Such crude method! Hey!" Zigion yelled in anger, Unable to accept reality that Axel had caught him.

The Steel strings that tied Zigion was unbreakable for his current state.

"Remove this at once and fight me like a man!" He yelled.

[Remove this at once and fight me like a man! Pfft. Hahahahaha!]

Axel once again tried holding his laughter from bursting out openly, After hearing Greed's tone, imitating Zigion's voice.

Stop it, We need to make him surrender! Pftt!" Axel said.

[If you want him to surrender then torture's the only way. Kyahaha!]

Torture? Don't you have any other methods?"

Zigion kept jolting on the ground, Trying to escape from the Strings. But due to its toughness he could not get off of it.

"Hey you! Fight me in a close combat battle without using our skills! Or is it that you can't fight without your skills? Keke!" He said loudly, Trying to provoke Axel.

"Close combat? Do you mean without weapons?" Axel asked.

"Yes! We'll fight barehanded and see who's more talented!"

Axel pondered, Fighting barehanded would result me in immediate loss. Our builds are totally incomparable, And yet he wants to fight me in hand to hand combat?"

[He's a prideful one, He doesn't want to admit that he's outmatched in a battle of skills so that's why he chose hand to hand combat.]

I see, But I don't really know any barehanded martial arts. It'll surely be me who's gonna end up beaten."

[Do not worry! I have alot of close combat martial arts saved up, Trust me and I'll send you the Data.]

Okay, Then what type of martial arts are you gonna send me?"

[The Modern Martial arts you've been watching on those televisions. Boxing!]

Without sparing another moment, Greed transfered All of the Boxing knowledge he holds towards Axel.

While Axel felt abit dizzy and realized that he has all the proper knowledge and movements intact in his mind.

This is..." He mumbled to himself whilst clenching his fists.

[Now let that idiot go and fight him! Kyahahaha!]

Axel raised his palm and removed the Strings that binded Zigion.

"That's more like it! Now let's go!" Zigion said arrogantly and immediately ran towards Axel.

While Axel immediately performed an Infighter stance, Whilst raising his hand infront of him.

The moment Zigion closed in, He clenched his fists and immediately swung at Axel, While Axel ducked and leaned forward closing their gap which made Zigion confused.

Why is he closing in?" Zigion wondered, Completely confused.

Without realizing that Axel moved inside his fighting radius in order to release an uppercut. In that very instance Zigion's Chin cracked after receiving a powerful punch from Axel.

Zigion's entire body got lifted from the force Axel had used, Huh? Was I this strong?" Axel wondered and immediately threw in a follow up right hook that penetrated towards Zigion's ribs, Completely blowing him away within several meters.

Zigion could not breathe, It was as if his air holes were blocked. He then raised his head, Realizing that another straight punch was approaching towards his face. Unable to react in time, He got hit directly at the nose and stumbled unto the ground helplessly.

Axel could not believe that he could throw such powerful punches, Without even using Mana enhancements at that.

Was I this strong?" He asked Greed via telepathy.

[Kyahaha! No way! You're able to release strong punches due to the proper fundamentals you've learned.]

What do you mean?" He asked in confusion.

[You haven't noticed that your movements were similar to those of Professional boxers? After transferring the data, Your body instantly imprinted it and displayed it without you realizing. With every punch you've thrown, Your stance was properly executed. That is why your punches became much more heavier than an average kid's punch.]

I see, So now that I think about it.."

"We're not done yet! Why are you dozing off!" Zigion yelled angrily whilst covering his nose.

"Huh? Why are you covering your nose? Haha!" Axel asked and made fun about his current state.

Meanwhile Zigion wiped off the blood that came out of his nose and performed another fighting stance, Ready to fight Axel again. "Come on!" He arrogantly said.

"Just give up will you?" Axel said slowly taking a few steps closer towards him.

"Give up my ass! There's no way in--- Without able to finish, Axel punched him in the face in an instant that he could not react in time.

And once again, Zigion rolled over the floor continuously.

"Brother!!!" Zephyr yelled.

While Kraig used his first form and intervened, Rushing towards Axel with his sharp claws.

Axel immediately formed a huge hammer and smacked Kraig on the face, Causing him to fly and roll over the ground like Zigion.

Axel sighed, "Hey, Don't butt in like that-- Without able to finish, He noticed Zigion behind him and was about to punch him on his ribs. But before Zigion's punch came in contact with his body, Axel moved forward, Slightly evading Zigion's attack.

What!!?" Zigion thought, And was completely surprised by a single movement.

Axel then turned around and performed the boxing stance with his arms up, While Zigion continuously threw punches towards Axel who kept evading his attacks.

"How is this possible!?" Zigion subconsciously spoke, Wearing a shocked expression.

Then Axel took a front step and ducked to dodge Zigion's punch in which led him closer towards Zigion.

Axel immediately threw some rapid punches towards Zigion's stomach, Causing him to gasp heavily.

Zigion mustered his strength and endured Axel's attack, He then tried to grab Axel from the shoulders but before he could reach him Axel instantly took a back step, Causing their distance to grow farther.

"Why is he so quick!?" Zigion murmured to himself, Feeling annoyed by Axel's quickness.

"Brother! Get him!" Zephyr cheered bluntly, While Kraig watched quietly.

[Do a combination, User!]

Zigion instantly engaged, And Axel did a two straight left punches that made Zigion hesitant to close in. After he evaded Axel's straight punches, He then tried to close in their gap but before he could get closer, A right hook to his ribs was fastly approaching. Zigion immediately guarded his body with his arms, But to his surprise it was a feint.

Axel immediately pulled his punch and did a Left hook, Straight to his Jaw.

Causing him to fall unconscious, After getting another Direct hit on his face with Axel's follow up right hook.

Zigion stumbled on the ground with his eyes closed, Unable to move.

Axel breathed heavily, This is really tiring." He thought while staring at Zigion.

"Brother!" Zephyr yelled, Running towards Zigion.

While Kraig stood up and walked towards Axel.

Axel noticed that Kraig was approaching and turned around to look, Without being able to speak. Kraig instantly took a knee and abruptly yelled, "Please teach me how to fight!"

Axel flinched out of surprise after hearing Kraig's words.

He raised his head and stared at Axel with desperation, While Axel could see the determination in Kraig's eyes. Realizing that Kraig was totally serious.

*Ding!*

*Quest Finished! You have successfully gain 50 Experience points.*

Huh!? Does knocking him out count as making him surrender?" Axel wondered.

[Maybe? Since he can't act up after being knocked out. Kyahahaha!]

[I guess you need to level up more?]

*Cough!* "Ehem! Please don't ignore my sincerity!" Kraig bluntly said out loud, After Axel forgot about him.

"Ohh! I'm sorry, But I don't teach kids how to fight." Axel responded, Waving his hand and was trying to refuse Kraig's request.

"What!? But you're still a kid too!?" Kraig blurted out.

This kid... Really..." Axel mumbled through his head.

[Kyahahaha! How about letting him feel it personally?]

What do you mean?" Axel asked.

[You know what I mean. Let her be under your teacher's guidance so that he'll feel what it means to be truly trained. Kyahaha!]

I see..."

"Fine, But I will not be teaching you. My teacher will be teaching you okay?" Axel said, And it instantly brightened Kraig's mood.

"Yes sir!" Kraig responded happily.
