I was walking towards the King of the forest, no beast tried to attack me, like a boss I was going towards my opponent. When I arrived at the King's place, what I saw was so surprising that I couldn't close my opened jaw.
Now when you think about the King of the beast you think about some huge Lion or some Huge and Hideous beast right. But what I'm seeing right now is surprising, the King of the beasts is a freaking Human.
I was just standing there not knowing what to do, it's been six years since I didn't see any human so I don't know how to react. I suppose that he is the same because he looks older than me and he is the King. You can't be the king in this forest without training for years like I did.
The human in front of me was fairly young if I have to say an age it would be in his late twenties.
The man has messy black hair and a faint beard. His clothing is anachronistic as well, reminiscent of baggy hip-hop fashions of today. His attire consists of a light grey shirt with a stitch pattern running down the middle and ending at the halfway point of the shirt. He wears this under a red short-sleeve happi that functions as a jacket. He wears dark gray hakama cut off at shorts-length, resembling loose-fitting Bermuda shorts and Japanese Geta (wooden sandals) on his feet. these geta are fitted with several metal strips on the soles, allowing him to use his sandals as blocking devices. He has two blue ring tattoos, two on each wrist and two just above the ankles. Lastly, he carries his sword on his back with a sash that goes from his left shoulder to his right hip, favoring his right hand. It has a zig-zag pattern of green and yellowish-brown.
Basically, he just looks like Mugen from Samourai Shamploo. I approached him and started a conversation.
Me: " Yo, I'm Skylar, who are you? "
_____
???: " My name is Shin, what are you doing here "
_____
Me: " I should be the one asking that question, I thought the strongest beast in this forest was here "
_____
Shin: " The strongest creature in this forest is me, the monster you're talking have been killed by me three months ago "
_____
Me: " Three months ago, how long did you stay in this forest "
_____
Shin: " As far as I know, I've been here my entire life... Someone like you wouldn't understand what I've gone through "
_____
Me: " what do you mean by someone like you... I'm here to beat the strongest here anyway, what's popping? "
_____
Shin: " What's up? " he got up and took out his sword
_____
Me: " What's up with you, you wanna go? " I started channeling Ki
_____
Shin: " we have to set rules first, if I win you're gonna serve me as my slave for the rest of your life and if you win you choose what you want me to do "
_____
Me: " That's fine with me "
_____
Shin: " Alright bet, By the name of ODA I swear to fulfill my part of the deal if not may the divine retribution hit me "
_____
Me: " By the name of ODA I swear to fulfill my part of the deal if not may the divine retribution may hit me "

After saying that we took our stance, Shin was the first one to attack he dashed towards me and slashed downward. I transferred Ki to my hands and blocked the attack, then I used my other hand and punched him in the gut.
The punch did not connect he blocked it with his right leg and retreated some meters away from me.
Shin: " you're good "
_____
Me: " thanks, you too you're good "
_____
We looked at each other again it was only seconds but it felt like hours passed, the pressure was building up and I made the first move.
I transferred Ki to my leg and used [ light foot technique ] it's a technique I created when I was training my control. Basically, I just transfer my Ki to my legs and I'll become faster. The more Ki I transfer the faster I become.
I use [ Light Foot Technique ] and dash towards him, somehow his eyes could follow my movements but his body couldn't. I punched, he dodged and slashed upward, I evade it and transfer Ki to my hands and punch straight towards his face.
Sensing the incoming danger Shin used something I didn't expect him to have. Suddenly, a big wall appeared between us, of course, it couldn't stop my attack and it pierced right through it. But he had already retreated by the time I destroyed the wall.
Shin: " I didn't want to use this but I won't win if I don't, Here we go "
Today when I woke up, I had a headache, that's why the chapter is this short. Hope you can understand me. I'm out.
