Chapter 1197. Fighting On / Edie’s fight
「 I wonder what will Edie-san do? 」
Kuromiya-san talks to me.
Over the ring, the semifinals for the four best…Edie vs Line Haruko-san has started.
「 Is she going for an instant win again? 」
So far, Edie’s been using Raishouin Raiden as soon as the match starts, paralyzing her opponent and taking them down in one attack.
She essentially knocks out her opponent in two hits.
「 That Line Haruko isn’t bad, but, I don’t think she’s a match against Edie-san’s skills 」
Kuromiya-san said.
「 Haruko, she’s not someone you can beat easily. Keep a calm mind 」
「 Yes, Master! 」
Line Haruko’s coach, is her teacher, Rodulfo Seiko.
「 Speaking of which, Margo-san doesn’t show herself at all, does she? 」
I just wondered.
Sure, Margo-san has her match later too so she may not have the time to coach Edie, but…
But still, Margo-san’s appearing in the last cla.s.s, which is the super unlimited cla.s.s.
Rodulfo Seiko, Remy Fujiwara, and Poron Karisman are all partic.i.p.ants of the same match as Margo-san and yet they appeared to coach.
「 Well, Margo-oneechan and Edie entered in the same team Kuromori, but you know… 」
Nei said.
「 But they have different techniques, see? They’re not even using the same style 」
Margo-san uses martial-arts-type skills.
Edie’s using killer fist techniques she learned from the a.s.sa.s.sination cult in New Orleans.
「 They’re no master and disciple so it’ll only bring an unnecessary image. So she won’t be showing up on Edie-san’s matches 」
Kuromiya-san said.
「 Besides, Haruka-chan and Maria-chan from team Kuromori will also compete in the other weight cla.s.s, right? If Margo-oneechan shows that the team is together, then they’ll misunderstand that Haruka-chan’s using the same technique as Edie 」
I see.
It’s going to be a problem if the audience thinks that the whole team Kuromori can use the same technique that Edie has.
「 That’s why, even when they’re in the same team, their techniques are different, and we’re trying to show off that they don’t get along that much 」
Nei said.
Then.
「 Huh? 」
Michi appears in Edie’s corner from below the ring.
Michi was with her father, dealing with the hara.s.sment team that Kansai Yakuza sent to the venue, but…
「 Edie! 」
The pet.i.te beauty wearing the sailor uniform from that school for a young lady called Edie above the ring.
「 What? 」
「 Who’s that cute girl? 」
The spectators show interest in Michi who appears below the ring suddenly.
「 What’s up? 」
Edie leaned over the rope and asked Michi.
Michi.
「 Try taking it seriously a bit 」
Michi said. The spectators cheered.
Michi’s appearance is exactly her age, a 15-year-old beauty.
Furthermore, you can’t tell from her small body that she contains such frightening combat power.
Her speaking to Edie who is already in the ring…
The audience sees it as a surprise.
「 Was I not getting serious? 」
Edie asks Michi.
「 You were taking it a little easy 」
Michi looked straight up to her and replied.
「 Okay, I’ll do it properly this time 」
Edie said.
「 Both partic.i.p.ants, to the center 」
The referee called Edie and Line Haruko.
It’s finally time for the match.
「 Haruko, careful when touching her! 」
「 Yes! 」
Line Haruko-san’s side is cautious of Edie.
『 ROUND 1 』
Gong!!
The gong begins the match.
「 Guh! 」
Line Haruko-san took a defensive stand thinking that Edie will attack.
Edie
「 Hey, you’re not doing that? 」
She approaches Line Haruko-san slowly with a calm smile.
「 You know, that fist b.u.mp when starting the match 」
Edie sticks out her fist.
「 Let’s go with your pace in this match 」
「!!! 」
Line Haruko b.u.mps Edie’s fist with hers just for a moment, then…
「 Teiyaa Hai! Hai! Hai!! 」
She gave Edie a continuous kick rush.
「 Hmmph! Hmph! Hmph! 」
Edie dodged all of Line Haruko-san’s attacks.
「 Then, let’s do the same!! 」
And this time, Edie brings out successive kicks.
「 Ugh! Ha! Guh!! 」
Line Haruko-san can’t dodge Edie’s attack lightly.
She’s guarding with her arms, trying to prevent any strong damage, but…
「 Haruko! Take distance! Get poised! 」
「 Y-yes! 」
Line Haruko-san tries to go back but…
「 I won’t let you 」
Edie jumped and gives Line Haruko-san a dropkick.
「!!! 」
Line Haruko-san wards off Edie’s legs with all her strength
Edie’s body tumbled on the mat.
「 Now! Haruko!! 」
Rodulfo Seiko-san shouts.
「 Yes!! 」
Line Haruko-san got on top of Edie and pins her.
「 She’s definitely the strike type! When it comes to ground tech, Haruko should be stronger!! 」
Following her Master, Line Haruko tries to attack Edie in a mounting position, but…
「 Kyauu!! 」
Line Haruko-san’s body is blown away as if she’s taken some kind of electric damage.
She’s using Raishouin Raiden here?
「 Woo!! 」
Then, Edie goes to Line Haruko-san’s back…
Then, she tightens her neck with her arm.
Sleeper hold!!
Line Haruko-san’s body is still paralyzed from the effects of Raishouin Raiden so she can’t do anything.
「 Ah 」
A towel fell on the ring.
Rodulfo Seiko-san admitted defeat for her disciple.
Gang gang gang gang!!
The gong rings.
「 That’s enough! 」
The referee said. Edie stopped her hold.
「 Haruko!! 」
Rodulfo Seiko-san jumped into the ring.
「 It’s okay. Although, she’ll feel numb for a while. No damage on her body 」
Edie said.
「 I knew that you’d throw your towel right away. That’s great 」
Chocking the neck while the body’s numb from Raishouin Raiden must be dangerous.
But since Rodulfo Seiko-san threw her towel immediately, no effects will remain on Line Haruko-san’s body.
「 S-Seiko-san 」
Line Haruko-san finally speaks up.
「 Seiko-san, I… 」
She’s in tears.
「 Yes, cry it out, if you’re frustrated, then cry it out, and don’t forget that humiliation you had this day 」
「 Y-Yes 」
Edie watches the two with her smile.
「 Geez, you can do it if you try! 」
The audience told Edie.
The spectators didn’t notice that Edie’s using her Raishouin Raiden.
They only see it as Line Haruko-san about to mount her but lost her balance, and so Edie turned the tables.
「 It was my mistake. I failed to notice that technique coming when I was to pin her 」
Rodulfo Seiko-san said.
Edie.
「 You’ll never know. If that girl decided to pin me before I could counter, then I would lose
She smiled.
「 You need time to knead the Qi in this technique. That’s why she received only 30 percent of the normal since I made it in a hurry 」
「 Oh, so that’s why you do it at the start of the game 」
Rodulfo-san understood.
It’s Qi she’s worked on until the beginning of the match so it’ll be 100 percent Raishouin Raiden as soon as the bell rings.
「 But, are you sure about telling us something that important? 」
Rodulfo Seiko-san smiled.
「 I see, you’re confident. You’re saying that you won’t lose even telling us that much 」
「 I won’t show any more cards than that 」
Edie smiled.
「 Why is a monster like you competing in this weight cla.s.s? If you were in the super unlimited cla.s.s then you could’ve given me a hard time 」
「 Our Margo’s quite the MONSTER too. So that’s why I let her take care of that one 」
「 I see. Then I’m looking forward to fighting her 」
Rodulfo-san said.
「 That was fun, Haruko, let’s fight again 」
Edie said with a smile. Line Haruko-san;
「 I won’t lose next time 」
She stared at Edie with a strong will.
「 Ooh!! 」
Hearing the exchange of the two, the audience cheered loudly once again.
「 Yes, that girl is good 」
Nei?
「 I mean, the athletes we’re talking to America. If it’s just Margo-oneechan and Edie, then there’s hardly any cross matches 」
Nei’s planning the martial arts show Margo-san’s coming to.
「 We’re looking for personnel today. Line Haruko-chan has that sense of freshness, and I think that she will be popular in America 」
「 But, she has ties with her master, Rodulfo-Seiko-san, it might be hard to recruit her Ya-chan 」
I said.
「 That’s easy, just scout Rodulfo Seiko-san too! 」
Oh, bringing the master-disciple set to America too.
「 I’m sure that our America show plan is also tempting for Rodulfo-san 」
They’re going to make names for themselves in martial arts tournaments for women in the US.
「 Although, I can’t make the final decision until Rodulfo-san shows me what she can do in her matches 」
「 Indeed, there are cases where the master has less sense and talent than the disciple 」
Kuromiya-san said.
「 Huh, really? 」
I’m surprised.
Isn’t it bad if the master is worse than her disciple?
「 The ability to run a martial arts organization is one thing but individual strength is another. It’s complicated 」
Kuromiya-san said with a smile.
「 By the way, are there any other players in the game so far that caught your interest? 」
She asks Nei.
「 Hmm, I couldn’t find the good parts in the three of the European Fujiwara. Robin Musk is specialized in pro wrestling 」
「 What about Denji M-ko-san and Monkey Mimi-san 」
Kuromiya-san asks.
「 Those two are still a bit unknown…I know that they’re strong, but… 」
The next fight is Denji M-ko and Monkey Mimi.
「 Well, we’ll think about it after the match 」
Then.
Michi returned.
「 Master, I’ve returned 」
She goes back to her seat.
「 I’ve exterminated all the enemies in the crowd while directing their attention to Edie 」
I see. So that’s why Michi went there and spoke to Edie.
When going for the instant win, Michi has no time to beat multiple enemies.
「 Father’s taking out the enemies that’ll try to enter the venue. 」
Michi looked outside the audience.
Oh, Kudou-papa’s waving his hand over here.
「 Then we’re safe in the hall now 」
I asked.
「 Yes, only the athletes are left 」
Michi?
「 Each cla.s.s has players from the Kansai Gachi Toraichi clan who are still in the main tournament 」
Michi’s watching inside the ring.
Oh, the a.s.sa.s.sin Kansai Gachi Toraichi clan sent over to the lightest cla.s.s, Denji M-ko appeared.
She’s wearing the same school cap as before, her breast wrapped in sarashi, and a striped panty.
「 Edie and Margo-oneesama can bear their enemies with their skills, but… 」
Yeah, Kudou Haruka and Kendou Maria might be defeated by the Gachi Toraichi clan.
Should we do something to make them withdraw before their match?
「 If that’s the case, you can leave that to me 」
Kinuka, who’s been quiet all this time, speaks up.
「 Stealth Kinuka is made for this situation 」
Kinuka said and took out her black veil
