Have we really been found? Is it because of my energy? - Koma-an thought.
However, just thinking about this, an attacker suddenly appeared in front of his face.
The stranger grabbed him and took him away with him. He hit him with acceleration against a tree, and because of the rising dust, the outcome of this attack was not visible.
- Dad...is he alive? - Shiraku thought.
Suddenly, a silhouette appeared from this cloud of dust.
- Dad! - Shiraku thought.
But when the dust cleared, the silhouette belonged to the stranger, and Koma-an seemed to have fallen through the ground. Where is he? In any case, it doesn't matter when some guy with fists is rushing at you.
The nameless one (let's call him that) was preparing to strike straight from the jump. He hit and Shiraku blocked. This blow created such a powerful shock wave that the foliage began to rustle as if from the wind. But Shiraku didn't even flinch. He instinctively concentrated energy into his hands and, like the most resilient mountain, took this blow. Then he released all the momentum accumulated from this blow into his own blow, and the nameless one simply flew away. Shiraku didn't even understand how it happened, but he became more confident in his victory.
And suddenly the sky turned black. Nameless released the barrier because he thought Shiraku would escape. And again a sudden attack, this time in the back. Then he disappeared into the leaves again.
- Of course, I don't know what this black thing is, but I'm beginning to understand how it works. It seems that this unknown person lived in these forests, but we disturbed him when my father showed his energy. And his strength is his limbs. He literally jumps up the trees and bounces off them, hitting me straight. So he becomes more predictable - Shiraku thought.This is where Shiraku's analytical skills come into play. He's probably right. Nameless, then, did not even try to jump away from him after the failed blow. And again, with a jerk, the nameless one flew straight into Shirak's back. He is already at the moment of impact, but Shiraku is not so simple. He tricked him and released the accumulated momentum from the previous blow to the back. He flew off again, but not far enough to reach the trees. Then he decided to just lie down. Shiraku approached him and wanted to hit him, but couldn't. This was the nameless man's plan, he knocked him down, stood up abruptly and began to speak:
- I already realized that you are analyzing me and you are most likely right. I don't push off from the trees, but use them as cover. In fact, my ability is to create a layer of air. In other words, create a wall out of thin air.
All this time they analyzed each other. The only thought that did not leave the nameless man throughout the battle was:
- Is he the cursed of the new generation?
And so, towering over Shiraku, the nameless one began to concentrate energy for some kind of attack. Shiraku then saw that his energy was dark green in color.
"It seems to be connected with the gods," Shiraku thought. - However, dad did not tell me what these specific colors mean. On the other hand, this guy himself told us about his ability, so we seem to be on equal terms.
Shiraku knocked the nameless one down just like he did with him And concentration lost.
- Oh, that's what it means. Everyone spends different amounts of time concentrating. - Shiraku thought. "Then, my father didn't even need a second, I needed a couple of seconds, and he needed longer." Much longer.
Shiraku abruptly stood up from the floor and extremely quickly began his attack. To which the nameless one simply put his legs towards Chirac. And although Shiraku didn't pay attention to it, his blow simply stopped.
"I can't move..." thought Shiraku.
Nameless simply pushed him away with his feet.
- He didn't finish the story. He can create this "layer" only at his feet, and accordingly, he cannot do anything other than repulse from the air. He then beat me with his hands, and there was no manifestation of the ability. - after analyzing everything that the nameless man showed and told, Shiraku came to this conclusion.
Shiraku, lightly wiping his nose, asked:
- What is your name? Here I am, fighting with you, wasting time and effort on you, and I don't even know your name.
- It won't matter to you.
- Actually, this is a tribute to the enemy.
- Just call me Kay.
Kei, having just finished speaking, immediately ran towards Shiraku.
- Oh, so he decided to go into close combat? - Shiraku thought. - Okay, fine.
And a fist fight began. If we evaluate them as opponents to each other, then Kei will be a little stronger, since he is more experienced.However, their striking technique was at the same level. Shiraku and Kei had never attended martial arts school, so their blows were either strong or weak.
Meanwhile, Shiraku was simply jubilant. This is the ideal condition for his ability. And in one of the many blows, he put all the accumulated momentum, and... it didn't work. At the moment of the impact, Kei bounced right behind Shiraku. Shiraku tried to hit with momentum again and missed again. He tried again, and again, and again, but he just couldn't hit it.
"He understood the essence of my ability a long time ago. He won't get hit. - Shiraku thought.
Then he began to feel for the first time the consequences of holding the impulse within himself for too long. The momentum just gradually dissipated. As a result, Shiraku completely lost momentum. Kei, when he realized this, endlessly dodging and began beating Shiraku. It took a long time. Long enough for Shiraku to barely figure out what to do. Then he knocked Shiraku down, jumped and, under the pressure from his ability, literally pushing him into the ground, immobilized him and began to concentrate energy.
Shiraku, having just woken up from incredible pain all over his body, began to think about how he could free himself. Then he saw:
- Is he concentrating his energy again? Wait, he has some trees coming out of his body. They glow and the colors of his energy. Is this really...
