*2 years passed* Togiri turned 8 or 9 years old.
"Seven Review me"
[Togiri. Strength: 1.5, Agility: 1.3, Vitality 1.7]
■Review: Too weak to fight even against a girl■
"1.0 means the average strength of a regular adult man and my strength is as great as the level of the average professional boxer. Seven what the fuck are you saying"
@How often should I repeat myself, I don't make the Reviews! I am the artificial Intelligence that operates the system for you, but I am not the system itsself strictly speaking. Its complicated@
"I don't believe you!" Togiri sweared at Seven a couple swear words until he calmed down.
"Anyway, I think I'm now able to fight in the Heaven's Arena. Its already been two years since I left earth"
said Togiri while being nostalgic looking at the sky full of clouds.
Togiri grew stronger over the years. It was the first time he gave it his all in life. He struggled and suffered for months living on the street.
When he didn't have money, he stole and when he was hungry he ate thrown away food out of dumpsters.
When he was tiree he slept under a bridge or an in alley. He constantly looked for methods to train, find a job or get money, but nobody would hire or trust a homeless little child that just learned to talk in sentences a while ago.
On a day like no other he met a boy named Fang.
Fang was an unusual boy. He was born with red hair and blue eyes. He was handsome that he could be mistaken for a child actor.
'This boy will get all the girls when he grows up' thought Togiri with jealousy. Togiri was reincarnated with his original appearance, but with a younger body.
Fang curious of Togiri and Togiri happy to have someone to talk to for the first time in months that wasn't Seven.
They quickly became friends since they were simliar in age, at least physically. Togiri was very hesitant at first, because of the memories he saw of his loved ones getting killed again and again if he didn't train.
A third of his horrible new gained memories remained after Seven sealed them and losing 99 percent of the system functions, was enough to drive Togiri crazy.
Not to mention it was weird to be friends with a little kid. After a week of Fang visiting Togiri every day under the bridge and delivering food, Fang offered to help Togiri.
Togiri broke down and cried. The only kindness he had received for months was from a little kid. Togiri started living with Fang and his family.
To earn his keep Togiri started to work for Fang's father and became a blacksmith apprentice.
Togiri worked every day from morning till evening helping with small stuff. At night he trained till he couldn't move since his terrible thoughts and nightmares kept him awake.
It was unusual for a little kid to be soon stronger than an adult, but Seven healing his destroyed body over and over again quickly increased his strength
His training wasn't always consistent, because he often also stayed late and tried smithing himself under the monitoring of Fang's father.
Togiri ate unhealthy food cheap, but after a while he stopped to save his allowance.
It was hard to cope with his depressed feelings. His rage, and desire for strength ruled over his life, but the few months where he solely focused on survival and coming out of the streets helped him quench his feelings a little and now he can even sleep properly for 2 hours at once.
2 years passed in a blink of an eye. Except for work and training, he also spent time enjoying little things like playing with Fang and exploring the city he was in.
"2 years passed since I came to this world. Now let us go!"
--------------------------------------
Togiri stood on a small podium and looked at his opponent. An average guy dressed in ripped office clothes with a busted lip and his clothes covered in shoe prints.
"FIGHT! yelled the referee.
"Seems like an easy opponent," said Togiri while smiling.
He dashed forward while his opponent stood still trembling. The office worker completely froze.
Togiri reached his opponent quickly and jumped up to his eye level. He delivered a swift roundhouse kick at his jaw, but he missed.
Togiri lost his balance at landed with his face at the ground. 'Ah. I'm an idiot' Seven chuckled @Yes, yes you are@
The referee snickered too looking at Togiri's attack. Togiri was a complete amateur and was fighting a real person for the first time.
The office worker didn't attack, but after Togiri's attack he looked less nervous. Togiri jumped backwards creating distance between them.
'Huff... Huff" 'Why am I so out of breath? I am too tense? Calm down and wait for his attack. Fighting is about mentality.' Togiri took a deep breath and his resolution to win grew firmer.
The office worker charged at Togiri with closed eyes, but arms wide swung.
Togiri smiled. He charged at the office worker too. 'Let's see how strong my dominant right foot is"
Togiri dodged the office workers swinging fists and crouched down. "Straight kick!" Togiri kicked as hard as he could at the office workers foot.
"ARGHHH!" Togiri broke his opponents ankle. The office worker fell on the floor and held his broken ankle in pain.
Togiri stood up and looked in with a guilty face at the man he injured. "Are you okay, mister?" asked Togiri softly.
"Argh! You bastard!" The man sat up and tried to grab after Togiri's small body, but Togiri walked a few steps backwards.
"I will kill your parents, kid!" Togiri's face turned grim. His facial expression became void of emotion.
He slowly walked towards the man with head down. Slowly... step after step.... and suddenly his feet stopped, he was almost head to head before him.
*whack* The office worker punched down at Togiri's head. "Do you think I'm scared of a little kid? Hey! Referee the fight is still ongoin-"
Killing intent broke out and engulfed everyone in the arena. A formless energy pressed down on all the fighters on stage and audience members. A few viewers and fighters collapsed.
Rage devoured Togiri. His killing intent supressed everyone in his vicinity and the loud arena fell silent.
"....Surrender!..." Togiri formed a fist. Blood started dripping down from his hands, his fingernails pierced his palms.
The office worker on his knees looked at Togiri for a second and said "..So..rr .y.." and passed out.
Togiri killing didn't dissapear. @Calm down or your killing intent will kill people@
Togiri took a deep breath and breathed out. Togiri's killing intent finally disappeared and the supression on everyone on stage and the audience was lifted.
"....."
The first person to break the silence was Togiri himself. "Aren't you going to announce my win?"
"C-Congratulations kid! You will move to the next floor..." the referee was nervous looking at the 8-9 year old boy before him.
Togiri walked off the stage, but he turned back once more and threw a sharp glare at the other fighters.
Togiri was walking home with water in his hand that he bought with the money he won.
Deep in thought, he started talking to Seven in his mind. 'Seven, how do I get more fighting experience? Can you do something about that?'
@Experience from more fights.... and TADA! Here is a new function!@ A white system window with black text appeared before Togiri's eyes.
Virtual Fighting!
You can pick any opponent that you previously fought or have seen and give them a martial arts that you learned or have experienced and seen. However often you want and whenever you want.@
@This system ability is very useful, because often you don't meet an equal or slightly stronger opponent to fight against@
'Nice! I can train and gain experience while also becoming more accustomed to fighting. I will become a martial artist with more experience than anyone ever. Okay, let's go home and fight this guy again and against myself.'
@Like I said THE BEST SYSTEM EVEEEEEER!@ yelled Seven as loud as he could.
"AHHHHH my head you asshole!" yelled Togiri outloud which suprised all the people on the street making them look at him weirdly.
"Let's run home and tell Fang that I won my first fight" said Togiri while chuckling and having a smile befitting of an 8-year-old.
