Chapter 4: Chapter 3
Third Pov
Ayumu was now standing on the road beside the river. Looking down he sees Saotome Ranma and Ryoga Hibiki duke it out with each other.
Hibiki uses his Bamboo Umbrella to deflect a kick from Ranma. Ranma seeing his kick being deflect stayed in the air continuously launching a flying kick at Hibiki.
One of the kicks connected and launched Hibiki toward the river. Not long after, he comes out in his pig form, looking like he was cursing Ranma out from his pig expression.
~CLAP CLAP CLAP~
"As expected of the Anything Goes Martial Arts. You are quite strong Saotome Ranma. How about you fight me now?"
Ayumu was clapping and comment on Ranma Martial prowess, Surprising Ranma who look at him in shock as he didn't feel him at all until he clapped.
This was in his shocked state that the curse of Jusenkyo rear it's ugly head and which attracted the one cursed with it magnetized toward water bodies. Just as Ranma land from kicking Ryoga, he slipped and fall into the river. Coming out as a red-haired girl.
Ayumu Pov
Whoa, they were quite strong. I don't think I will be able to match them at all right now. But, with The End, I will gradually match their fighting prowess and Martial Skill. My Ghoul body will continue to grow strong as the fight goes on and heal any injuries I got in the fight. While The End will broke down their technique and learn it, before improving it as the fight goes on.
The fight was ending I clap then comment on Ranma. Before challenging him for a match. But, because he was distracted he slip and fall to the river and comes out as a girl.
"Hahaha, so it was real. That someone cursed by the Jusenkyo was attracted to any water nearby." I laughed at him who are coming out of the water looking pissed at me.
"OI YOU!!! Who the hell are you? Because of you, I got distracted and fall into the water and you got guts to laugh at me. The great Ranma Saotome-Sama!" he shouts at me before he introduces himself arrogantly.
'Hmmm, I forgot that Ranma was quite arrogant because of his father's upbringing.'
"Yo, name is Aikawa Ayumu. I was from next town. Coming here wanting to try challenge anyone from your group." I said and he was raising an eyebrow.
"Hoo, are you a Martial Artist? You are brave to challenge me." he said arrogantly to which I smile.
"Nope, never learn Martial Arts all my life. But, I sure will be able to take you on." I said as I jump down, to which Ranma immediately take his/her fighting stance.
Seeing that he/she is ready, I launched myself toward him using his footwork that I see when he fights Hibiki. He was shocked for a moment before focus back toward me who start launching punch after punch using the Anything Goes Martial Arts which shocked Ranma again before he sees that it was not as refined as him.
It was like an amateur try to mimic it badly, though it's pack quite a punch which comes from natural strength, not technique. But, as the fight goes on. The technique got refined little by little which makes Ranma become serious.
With him being serious, I was becoming his punching bags. But, even with as much as attack he launched toward me. It was healed much faster than the damage he dissed out.
"What is this, You are just an amateur and you also trying to copy my Anything Goes School techniques. I will teach you why to not try to steal our techniques!" he said while raining kick after kick at me.
While I was enduring his attack, my mind was working at breaking down his technique, when he suddenly launched his chained attack which he used on Hibiki before and land a clean hit. Launching me back about five meters.
As I lay on the ground, my mind finished analyzing the technique that he just uses on me. I launched back to a standing position as any bruised and injuries already healed. I go back to attack Ranma with a much more refined technique which was now at the same level as Ranma skill before I start to surpassed him on his own technique.
Seeing this Ranma change to other martial arts he master, while I followed after also analyzing it and surpass him again. This makes him change again with me to continue to follow the same pattern.
After an hour of fight, Ranma ran out of technique and stamina as he panted in front of me and swear.
"F*ck, you copying Monkey. You have been stealing my technique and using it against me, You Cheater!" he shouts while I smile wryly.
Though it was despicable of me, to steal his hard work just like that. But, I will do anything to get strong, though I have a bottom line. But, stealing other techniques is not one of them. What is having this power if not for me to use it.
"Haha, well I won't say sorry when I not mean it. Since stealing your technique is one of my objectives. But, I will not uses your technique from now on." I said with a laugh. Which makes him perk up.
"Heh, I don't care even if you steal my technique. I will just improve again to match you. This just means I got a new person to challenge which can push me up to improve my Martial Arts. It's just annoying having my own technique used against me." he said with a smirk as goes back to his stance having regained his stamina, As expected of Shonen Protagonist.
"Well, good luck with that. Let's get back to the match." I said as I picked up Hibiki Bamboo Umbrella and take his stance.
We got back into the fight as I refined Hibiki's techniques that I see from his fight with Ranma. Not long after that, Ranma lay on the ground exhausted with bruised here and there, defeated.
"Haaah~Haaah~ Damn it, what kind of a bugs character are you? You even make Ryoga's technique much deadlier than the original." Ranma said as he panted.
"Hohoho, so how is the taste of defeat from someone the same age as you?" I asked him.
"Haah~Haah~New! I now know where to improve myself to get stronger." I said between the breath.
"I see, well I feel bad stealing your technique without giving you anything. Let's go have lunch, my treat! You also can ask me about your technique which I improve on the fly just now." I said.
"Yeah~Yeah~ rub it on! Hmph, I will take the offer for lunch. As for techniques, I will improve it on my own." he said as he gets up.
"Come on! I know a good place to eat!" he said as he walks away.
I smile as I follow after him.
"Good, I will steal it again when you improve." I said with a smirk. Which got a tick mark on his head from hearing it. He then curse me under his breath.
