Chapter 155: Tournament 10
155 Tournament 10
Kusunoki Kayo"s Father, Kusunoki Rentaro also make a fuss with this, Himura Takata is busy stopping him.
Amira suddenly becomes quiet as she watches the fight. Alex keeps exploiting Kayo"s weakness one by one. Kayo noticed this and slowly improving her stance as she tried to block all of his attacks. Though her body becomes tattered, She still persists...She struggled to prevent his attack.
Every attack that Alex made by exploiting her weakness made her movement better. She fixed her flaws one by one under the constant booing from the audiences. Alex ignored them completely.
The reason Alex did this is that she reminded him of his sister on Earth. Even though he didn"t want to entangle with his past memory again, he still can"t help but like this.
Their height is around the same, she didn"t even reach 5 feet. She is around 150 centimeters even though she is already 19 years old. Their facial feature is similar, and the only difference is her hair color. Well, Kusunoki Kayo didn"t beat him like his sister, though.
They continued clas.h.i.+ng for a few more minutes. Kayo"s movement becomes better and precise, without any waste movement. She is starting to block his move completely one by one. Alex smiled a bit.
She is starting to notice his intention all this time. She didn"t know why, but this is the first time that she felt using spear is good. Unbeknownst to her, a smile forms on her face as she continued blocking Alex"s attacks.
After a few minutes, A sudden, shocking scene appeared in the arena. Kusunoki Kayo, who was suppressed, just now suddenly repelled his attack with a full force, and Alex retreated a few steps. She looked at her spear with a surprised face.
All elders and family heads suddenly stood up, because they knew what is happening just now.
"Spear Intent!"
Kusunoki Kayo finally condense a spear intent, and she did it in the arena. "So, this is Spear Intent...my Spear Intent"
She looked at Alex gratefully as she said, "I Surrender" to the referee.
The referee was shocked by the sudden action of Kusunoki Kayo. However, He immediately announced, "Alexander Sirius Wins!"
The crowd was booing on Alex. But, Kayo looks at him with a very sincere face even though her body is tattered at the moment because of him. "Why do you help me?"
Alex looks at her eyes without any expression. "Tend your wound first. As for the reason...It"s just my selfishness. You have talent in spear...so work hard on it."
As he said that, he turned and walked away from the arena. The audiences were booing on him, but suddenly they were shocked when Kusunoki Kayo bowing her head and said as hard as she can "Thank you very much for your guidance!"
The crowds were dumbfounded when she did that. She only raised her head when his figure finally can"t be seen anymore.
"Why did she thanks him? he beat her again and again."
"But, she said it is guidance."
"Maybe, he did something we can"t understand."
"Yes, it might be. If not, she won"t thank him like that."
"Uwoo!"
"Alexander Sirius!"
The booing changes into cheers. Kens.h.i.+n, who was watching him, was astonished, "As expected of you, Alex."
Not only Kens.h.i.+n but also the other partic.i.p.ants, including Nakagawa Hiina. She looked at Alex"s back, her eyebrows furrowed. She muttered his name in a low voice. "Alexander Sirius"
In the VIP Seat, Himura Takata, who was stopping Kusunoki Rentaro from exploding, become the first one who congratulated him. "Haha, You are lucky that I"m stopping you here. If not, your daughter won"t be able to condense her spear intent. Congratulations!"
"Fuu..." He let out a long breath. "That brat, I thought that he was bullying my daughter. But now that I look at it, they are pretty suitable for each other. Who is this Alexander, Clan Head Takata? I think I can betroth her to him."
"You won"t be able to." Elder Su Hua snorted. He is planning to get him together with his granddaughter, how can he let him get engaged with Kusunoki Kayo.
If Alex was here, he might say, "Why is the father or grandfather love to compete with their daughter or granddaughter and trying to betroth them to me?"
(AN: Because you are the MC)
"Look, you are lucky that you didn"t immediately burst into the stage just now, right? She is indeed lost the fight. But she got something more precious than a win." The one who said this is Conn Kidellan. He said it toward Rainbow Flower Sect Elder, Amira Austin. "From the look of it, her wound is only some bruises. Her concern now is her stamina. But she can recover with some pills. So, I think you should go to her now."
"Hmph!" Amira disappeared.
...
The next match is Jou Yukifusa versus Himura Tsunehira. There is nothing that needs to be said in this match. Jou Yukifusa is a Peak Qi Manipulation Stage while Himura Tsunehira is a 1-Star Martial Master since he almost pa.s.ses the age limit of the tournament, which is 25 years old. Since the tournament was held every three years, Himura Tsunehira has experienced it beforehand. And this is the last time he can partic.i.p.ate in it. So, After winning this match, his heart is fulfilled.
As for the last match, Endou Saneyasu versus Ray Adams. There is another person from Outside of the town. It was proven by his name, Ray Adams. But for their surprise, this Ray Adams wears a monk attire and cuts all of his hairs. Endou Saneyasu is a loose 1-Star Martial Master while this Ray Adams is also 1-Star Martial Master.
In the match, Ray Adams suddenly suppressed his opponent from the get-go and defeated him pretty quickly. From his Martial Arts that he used in the match, he seems has the same Martial Arts as Itagaki Kyousuke.
And it"s true, in the VIP Seat. The Buddhist Monk said to the other elders. "He is a traveler from outside the town. I accidentally met him in this town. And yeah, he is a talent that was on par with Itagaki Kyousuke. But I only met him a few days, and I felt that his talent is even higher than him. I"m not saying Itagaki Kyousuke is untalented. He is talented, no, in fact, he is very talented. I"m sure that he will at least reach the elder level. But for this Ray Adams, I felt he could become a Martial King, of course, he needs to work hard for that."
The other elders were surprised by it, but Itagaki Yukiteru put a sour face on his face. After all, no father can smile if their son belittled in his presence. Even though The old monk put it in a roundabout way. He still felt bitter in his heart.
After the last match, it is time for the Quarter Final. The fights will be as such.
Ray Adams vs Himura Tsunehira
Alexander Sirius vs Kitajo Kagemochi
Nakagawa Hiina vs Soga Tsutsuyo
Himura Kens.h.i.+n vs Nakagawa Hikotaka
Those are the four fights for Quarter Final. But before the real fighters fought on the arena. They hold other battles for number 9 and number 10 positions from the loser on the top 16. It was also to give time for the real fighter to recover.
After around one hour, Number 9 is Kusunoki Kayo. Because Alex has helped her for her spear movement along with newly found Spear Intent, her fighting ability exploded. She dominated every battle, especially when she fought with Himura Soma, she didn"t even give him a chance to retaliate and immediately defeat him. The last place, number 10, is Itagaki Kyousuke. He fought hard against Kusunoki Kayo, but just like when he fought Nakagawa Hikotaka, he didn"t stand a chance against Kusunoki Kayo"s Spear Intent.
Finally, the Quarter Final has started. The first fight is Ray Adams versus Himura Tsunehira.
They both entered the arena. Ray Adams bowed to him, "Please have a nice match."
"Hmph" Himura Tsunehira snorted. He immediately charged toward him, "Splitting Sword."
"Light Palm!"
Himura Tsunehira destroyed the Light Palm, but it took him all of his strength to destroy that palm. Ray Adams send a fist toward Himura Tsunehira
"Roaring Fist"
"Energy Fist"
Himura Tsunehira used another Art. This time, he also threw his fist against Ray Adams"s Fist. But sadly, one cultivates the sword, and the other one cultivates the body. It was obvious who is going to win.
Just like its name, "Roaring Fist", the moment their fist clashed. It sends a loud sound like a roar from a monster.
Himura Tsunehira was blown away toward the wall. He crashed and pa.s.sed out. From the look of it, this "Roaring Fist" is his original Martial Arts before he met the old monk. It might be because he only practiced Martial Arts from Buddha Sect for several days. Alex can see that his "Light Palm" was weaker than Itagaki"s. But that "Roaring Fist" is a bit special.
"Ray Adams Wins!" Announce the referee.
"Uwoh!" The cheers erupted in the arena.
"Is he going to be the same as Alexander Sirius?"
"I never thought he is that strong."
"He defeats Himura House disciple in two moves."
Many comments were heard from the audience. Himura Takata gnashed his teeth while thinking, "If my Kens.h.i.+n is the one who fought him, he will win!"
"He is indeed unordinary" Conn nodded.
"Hmph! As long as I get Alexander, he won"t even matter." Su Hua snorted.
"Old Su, why are you so obsessed with this "Alexander"? You are very suspicious at this moment." Conn looked at him with an observing look.
"You don"t need to know."
"Is his talent in Alchemy is that high? Is he going to be higher than you, a Low 5th Rank Alchemist? Or he might even become Rank 6 Alchemist in the future?" Conn was trying to pry Alex"s secret. The eyes of other elders and family heads widened.
"Hmph! You guys have promised me" Su Hua snorted.
"I have not!" Conn smirked.
"Are you going to offend me? Are you going to offend Mount Hua Sect!" Su Hua glared at him.
"Haha, Of course, I don"t want to offend Mount Hua Sect easily. But, judging from your look...Hmm, A Rank 6 Alchemist is indeed great and worth even if we need to offend Mount Hua Sect...eh, wait. He wanted to join Heavenly Sword Sect in the first place. It is not good to force your idea to a junior, Old Su" Said Conn in a teasing tone.
"You!"
This old fox Conn was prying all of Alex"s secret out of him. But the most embarra.s.sing is him, he is already old and experienced, how can he still led around by others and let out the secret unintentionally. What an embarra.s.sment.
...
Meanwhile, in the Arena, the second fight has begun. Alexander Sirius versus Kitajo Kagemuchi.
"Hi, Handsome. You had captured my heart when you taught Kusunoki"s Prodigy, especially her Spear Intent. How about you also teach me, as the payment, this little sister will give you anything you want."
"Shameless" is what the female audiences thought.
"So Envious" is what the male audiences thought.
"Little Sister your *ss. You are older than me!" is what Alex thought. "No need."
"Match Start!"
As soon as the match start, Alex used his fastest speed and punched her abdomen. She pa.s.sed out, and he won the fight just like that.
"Alex...Alexander Sirius Wins!"
After the referee announced the result, Alex turned and walked away.
"Serve you right" The female audiences mocked her shamelessness while the male audiences facepalmed "What a waste."
Not long after, the third match began. The match between Nakagawa Hiina and Soga Tsutsuyo. Both of them entered the stage. This is also an "Exciting" match...for males of course. But they were betrayed even before the match start.
"I don"t think that we need to fight since the result is obvious. I rather conserve my energy and fight for the 5th Position." She said that to Hiina, then she turned to the referee, "I Surrender."
"Nakagawa Hiina Wins!" The referee immediately announced the result.
"Boo!" The males are booing toward her. They antic.i.p.ated an "Exciting" match, but it ended before it even started. They were greatly "Disappointed"...man.
Now, the last match is really the one thing that they can"t skip. The match between Himura Kens.h.i.+n and Nakagawa Hikotaka. Both of them are 2-Star Martial Master and use a sword. Himura"s Prodigy versus Nakagawa"s male prodigy.
