"I understand but since you are the one that initiated the challenge, I will decide which place we are going to fight."
He immediately agrees, ecstatic that she agreed.
He then thought about something and asks. "Can my pet watch our battle?"
"Sure, I will have one of my people bring it at the arena."
It was a simple request so she agrees without hesitation.
"Stop ignoring me! I had been talking to you two this entire time!"
The arrogant boy shouted with a face full of rage.
"I do not care about you and your antics but I suggest that you go on your way, Sean is someone that even father appreciated, not to mention, uncle is invested on his growth."
"Shut up! I am your older brother and the one that will inherit the mantle of this dojo!" He shouted.
This is the first time in his life that he was ignored like some speck of dust.
Anger and humiliation rushed through his head.
Sean frowns and looks at him up down, he didn't expect that this person was Reina's brother but he doesn't know his strength so he dismissed him in his mind.
"I apologized senior brother for not recognizing you but I have something important to do."
Suddenly, he felt a hand grabbing his shoulder causing his expression to turn cold.
He shrugs the hand away and looks at the owner with an ugly expression.
"What the hell are you doing!?"
He might be cautious but that doesn't mean he is cowardly.
He already apologized and even offer a reason, yet this person still intent in causing trouble.
"Boy, did you not hear me talking to you! Maybe your mother did not taught you any manners!"
"Reina, if I punch your brother in the face, will your father become angry?"
Parent is one thing that is a sensitive spot for him.
Reina shakes her head. "My father has long given up on this trash, that is the reason why he strut around in this dojo, claiming he is it's successor."
"What do you mean by that you bit-"
His words was cut off when a powerful fist hit him in his face, blowing away.
King Kong Punch!
He didn't use any vital power but this punch does carry his entire strength.
BOOM! With a loud thud, the boy was slammed into the wall and fainted.
Everything turns silent, Reina's expression changes as she went and checks her brother's vital sign and release a sigh of relief realizing that he was just knocked unconscious.
"That punch of yours, was it your creation?" Her eyes lights up, not caring about her brother.
"Yes, it came from a sudden flash of inspiration after my GRUELING TRAINING IN THE BLACK APE FIST." He put some emphasis in his last words.
Reina blushes as she feels embarrassed thinking that the person in front of him was slacking.
Those that create their own technique are all geniuses but all of them worked hard to achieve enlightenment.
Sean is a genius without a doubt but he must had put a lot of effort to create such a technique.
She doesn't know that he has a system dedicated to this.
Fighting him might be worthwhile and the way she looks at him is now filled with passion and battle intent.
Everyone gathers at the arena, they heard about a sparring match between Reina and an unknown person.
"Is this really necessary?" Sean asks looking at the hundred or so people that gathered at the audience seat.
"Yes, watching a live battle is beneficial for everyone, do not worry, I will not use all my strength."
If others heard this, they would be pissed off as their male ego would react violently but not Sean.
He knows that Reina is stronger than him, you can't bring some of your common knowledge in your former world in this world.
Wether they are male or female, once you become a martial artist, your strength will surpass human comprehension.
"How long do you think this arrogant fellow can last from senior sister's onslaught?" Asks one of the audience.
No one is optimistic about his chance and even himself agree with this.
'What the hell is that fool thinking!?' One of the audience was worried about his safety.
It was Hina, next to her was Nima, deep in thought, she knows her cousin and from her personality there's a high chance that it was Sean that initiated the challenge.
She watches in interest, she wanted to gauge the strength of her cousin and Sean's potential in terms of combat.
In the arena, both Reina was now standing at opposite side, in the center was one of the hall master responsible for training disciples.
"Are both of you ready?" He asks calmly, he was actually nervous inwardly.
The two are just too important for someone of his status to be careless about.
"I hope to learn from senior sister." Sean bows before taking a deep breath and charging at her.
Reina nods her head, the two had agreed that only if they're going to be killed would the referee step in.
Without hesitation, he immediately used his skill.
King Kong Punch!
In the eyes of everyone, he seems to had transformed into a large ape.
Reina's eyes lights up, she didn't retreat and respond with a punch too.
BOOM!
Sean takes a couple of steps back while Reina stands firm on the ground.
'As expected! Her strength outstrips mine!' He became excited.
Meanwhile, on a room overseeing the arena, Reina's father and his brother was watching with interest.
Suddenly, both stands up as they look at Sean with shock.
'How can that be!?' Reina was also reeling in shock.
Other people might not know this but as the person involved, she realized something shocking.
Sean's strength is equal to hers! If it weren't for the various technique she learned, that clash would had been a draw.
"Again!" Knowing that he can't use his skill continuously, he charges at her.
Hammer punch! He attacks using the only method he knows that delivers his entire strength.
"Your movement is too big!"
Reina admonished, taking a step forward, she blocked his attack by hitting the joint in the elbow.
His punch stops halfway, he follows it with a left hook.
BAM! His left hook was dodged and he was hit by a punch in the face.
Just as he was recovering, he feels a powerful blow hitting his stomach.
He was forced to take a couple of steps back.
"Do not give your opponent any time to recover!" She roars before hitting him repeatedly, giving him no chance to retaliate.
"As expected, this turned out to be a one-sided beating from senior sister." Those that were watching looks at him with disdain and schadenfreude.
He doesn't have any experience in fighting in this level, all his knowledge in martial arts are in theories and from mangas and manhwas he reads in the internet.
Instinctively, he widens his stance, copying what Reina did earlier when she released her punch.
A stance appears in his mind, a karate style that revolves around having their bodies honed by getting beaten.
Reina's expression changes, she feels like she's hitting a boulder.
In an instant, Sean seems to had transformed, his toughness increased greatly.
Vajra Body (Passive): A body made of pure yang, increases strength, constitution and vitality. Increases learning mastery over physical technique.
Karate jab! He used this time when Reina stops and released a punch.
She easily dodges it and spins before using her backhand to hit him in the face.
Not caring about the pain, he punches at her again.
Her eyebrow raises, she can't believe that he can take so much punishment without even slowing down.
'This can't go on! My body might be tough but this doesn't mean that it's invincible!'
Realizing his situation, he started brainstorming.
His punches and hooks are starting to get sharper by the second but not one has successfully lands a hit.
BAM! PAK! BAM!
Blow after blow, his body was hit, Reina's attacks are relentless, she's also targeting his vital points.
Dodging his punch again, she spins and was about to hit him with a backhand hook when he suddenly leans forward, hitting her with a headbutt.
For the first time, his attack landed but he didn't celebrate, he charges again, not letting such an opportunity slips by.
Devil Ape Fist!
King Kong Punch!
The two punches at each other simultaneously.
BOOM! Both were forced to take a couple of steps backwards.
Blood slips out of Sean's mouth, that exchanged wrecked his inside.
Not caring about his damage, he charges once more.
'What the hell!? Aren't you going to take time to recover!'
Reina was dumbfounded, she didn't escape that exchange unscathed, her innards are also shaking that's why she was standing there, breathing in a rhythmic manner to recover.
'I need to attack! Straight? No! She would easily dodge or block it.'
An attack comes to mind but he doesn't know how to properly execute it.
'F*ck it we ball!' Knowing that he's here to gain experience, he decided to not overthink it and just use whatever comes to mind.
Jab! Hardening and then releasing his punch, it looks lackluster to a real one.
Just like he expected, she easily neutralize his attack.
Slapping his hand away, she hurls a punch that is very familiar to him.
Black Ape Fist!
Knowing that with his momentum, he can't dodge the attack, he opted for a mutual exchange.
King Kong Punch!
He can use this skill in any position as long as he's standing and it was a straight punch.
Reina was startled, most technique that harness such power would need a strict requirement to execute it and here he is just punching without any care.
BOOM! BAM!
The two hits each other exactly at the same time but the one that took more damage was Reina.
*Cough* The accumulated damage and his innards beings shaken earlier causes him to cough but he laughs out loud, not bothering with the pain, his battle intent only increasing.
Her eyes narrows on him, realizing that holding back might even cause her to lose.
She takes a step forward and punches with all her might.
Devil Ape Annihilation!
'Fast!' Sean's expression changes as he crossed his hand, blocking the attack.
BOOM!
He was blown away by the powerful blow but after rolling at the arena, he charges towards her again.
'Come on! Are you a cockroach! How can you be so resilient!' She inwardly screams knowing that she's incapable of movement right now.
'I need time to recover! Middle range! I can only try and Duke it out with my jabs!'
Reina was startled to see him stopping just half a meter from her.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Flicker jabs! He was grateful to the anime he watched in the past that taught him how some punches operate.
Flicker jab is one of those punches.
Leaning his shoulder, he started attacking with his hand seemingly becoming whips.
Reina easily slaps them away but as time goes on, his jabs are becoming more and more sharper, heavier and faster.
BAM! One of the jabs finally landed a blow, she was shocked by his ingenuity, creating such a technique without practice.
Knowing this, admiration shines in her eyes but as a senior disciple, she can't lose in front of so many members of their dojo.
She charges at him.
King Kong Punch!
She was stopped at her tracks and was blown back.
Flicker jabs!
A simple method and the only combo he can think of right now.
Meanwhile, in the viewing room, Reina's father can't help but smile.
"Such a good combination, it might not work against everyone but it's still a great idea nonetheless." He nods his head in appreciation.
"Yes, too bad that this method will most likely not work in forestry area." Nima's father sighs but his appreciation towards Sean increases.
"Don't forget, he created this method after fighting my daughter, if he gains experience outside, who knows, he might surprise us with another method."
