Bab 33: Expert Class
"Isn't that the kid from earlier?" One of the followers said pointing at Kenichi.
"Kids I have no interest in you. Call forth your masters. " Gonzui stated then looked to Miu. "But this girl has insulted my honour by challenging me. She will be punished for that."
"Can't we just wait for one of the masters to come?" Kenichi suggested as he suppressed a violent reaction.
"I don't have time for that," Gonzui said. "I am taking the sign if no one stops me."
"Very well, I may not be the best fighter," Kenichi said, his turning stern as he brought his one foot back while leaning into his front foot. "But I will not let you hurt Miu."
"Then bring it on, child." Gonzui snickered. "I'll take on three of you then I'll take this sign. Begin!"
Miu who was nearest to him attacked first. Jumping and throwing an upward kick to the chin.
[ Furinji Style: Void Wind Kick ]
Then Kenichi came in with Ohma. Kenichi was struck first, taking his stance and striking with a rotating fist, middle knuckle first onto the abdomen.
[ Karate: Seiken ]
Then it was Ohma's turn as he slammed his fist at the solar plexus, tightening all his muscles just before the moment of the impact.
[ Adamantine Kata: Ironbreaker ]
All three moved back, and then Gonzui shook his head and exhaled hard. "Not bad for mere disciples. But nothing breaks the power of spirit."
While he saying this, Ohma lunged at him and threw another fist onto the man's chest.
[ Adamantine Kata: Ironbreaker ]
Gonzui folded as he held his stomach in pain. "You little bastard."
"Right at the moment of inhalation," Ohma remarked.
Gonzui sprung into action, moving towards and throwing a roundhouse kick at Ohma and Kenichi.
[ Iron Defence Karate: Mawashi Geri ]
Ohma immediately reacted, slipping under Gonzui's leg in one motion. So fast that left a clear afterimage.
[ Flame Kata: Phantom Pace ]
But Kenichi couldn't dodge in time and was thrown hard into the nearby wall from the force of the kick.
Miu didn't remain idle as struck with a spinning kick to the side of Gonzui's feet before he bring his other leg back.
[ Furinji Style: Earth Scraper ]
Gonzui's feet left the floor for a moment, his balance shifting sideways, but before he could he brought his other foot back to regain some ground.
"No, you don't." Ohma came rushing in and grabbed Gonzui by his arm and pulled him in the direction of his centre of gravity.
[ Redirection Kata: Weeping Willow ]
Gonzui fell on his back. He jumped back to his feet but at the same time, Kenichi came rushing in.
"Don't end this without me," Kenichi said while performing the same technique he learned today, targeting Gonzui's testicles.
[ Karate: Mae Geri ]
"I am sorry! I didn't mean to" Kenichi said, "I aimed for core- it was just a mistake."
Gonzui dropped to his knees, clutching his lower part. "You little fucker!"
"Don't give him a chance, attack now, you fool!" Ohma shouted from behind.
Kenichi reacted subconsciously and delivered a low kick to the back of Gonzui's leg.
[ Muay Thai: Ti Lan ]
The kick didn't have any effect on Gonzui, he roared and slammed his palm on Kenichi's face throwing him back.
"Most martial artists don't train the back leg to take hits, but not the ones who practice Iron Defense Karate." He said as he stood up. Then an invisible pressure-filled room, everybody in the room felt it as though it was a violent torrent.
"Boss is unleashing the power of the spirit." One of the lackeys commented.
"This Dou Ki is filling his body!" Miu muttered in surprise. "He is an Expert Class."
Ohma heard it. "Are you being serious?"
"Yes, I am being serious." Miu retorted.
"Come on, hit me!" Gonzui said. "I'll show you the power of my spirit! My indestructible body."
"It's my turn first," Ohma said approaching Gonzui. He kept a finger worth of distance from his fist to Gonzui's chest.
"I know that strike at the moment of inhalation trick now, it wouldn't work with the power of spirit coursing through my muscles."
Kenichi felt the pressure in the room, his body refusing to move. All of Ohma's body sprang into action at the moment of that punch.
[ Niko Style: Ashura Shot ]
Gonzui lurched back and gritted his teeth. "What the fuck was that?!"
He felt the punch hard, it felt like a shock passed through the punch into him and ripped his insides.
"Ashura shot is unlockable no matter how tough you are," Ohma said. 'Apart from external damage it also does internal damage like Chi Blockage. But-'
Gonzui snickered and recovered in an instant.
'-It isn't enough to do hard damage to someone of this level.'
"It's time for me to attack!" He shouted and jumped at Ohma fist first. Ohma was ready to dodge but before that another hand grabbed Gonzui's fist, stopping in mid-air.
"What are you trying to do my disciple?" It was Sakaki.
"Masters, this is Sakaki Shio!" One of the followers shouted.
Sakaki grinned and looked at Ohma, Kenichi and Miu. "You guys did a fine job taking care of the house. I watching all along. Ohma, nice attack by the way, but it's still too slow."
Ohma sighed, "You don't need to tell me that."
"Now then." Sakaki's gaze turned to the Dojo Hunter. "Why don't you all take a nap!"
Then he slammed his fist onto the man's chest, exerting a wave of energy. It spread to one of the sides of the room like a shockwave and sent every dojo hunter's followers flying like blowing pins.
Ohma looked at the destruction and muttered, "Still a long way to go."
"Let's get Apachai to take to take them to Akisame and Kensei," Sakaki said before proceeding to high fiving Miu. "Today was a good catch."
"Good catch!" Kenichi said. "What is this all about?!"
"Each dojo challenger must pay 10,000 yen to earn the right to fight for the Ryozanpaku's sign," Miu explained.
"Then after you break them in the fight you take them to your clinics to extort extra from medical bills," Ohma added.
"So dojo hunting is the main source of income here?" Kenichi asked.
"Uh-huh." Miu nodded in yes.
*************************
It was evening and Ohma sat opposite to the Elder.
"Kenichi didn't seem to like the fact that the dojo makes their income from beating dojo hunters," Ohma said, "I don't understand why."
"Don't mind it." Elder said. "What would youth be without unrefined ideals?"
"Whatever is the opposite of being a moron is," Ohma stated.
The Elder snickered, "Sure... but didn't come here to jest, did you?"
"No." Ohma sighed. "I want to learn how to fully activate my Ki."
"Is that so. I thought you wanted to wait until your martial arts reached a bottleneck to not overburden yourself."
Ohma sighed. "I have already reached them, it would take someone time to improve my new technique and I let my growth stagnant. So how do I fully awaken my Ki? I tried to feel that electrifying sensation again but it just wouldn't come."
The Elder paused for a moment then said, "There are two ways for it, one is to force your body to its limits breaking the seal of inner energy or letting someone guide you through it."
"Someone like you?" Ohma asked.
"Yes, someone like me could do it - but this place isn't suitable for it." Elder said.
"What do you mean this place isn't suitable?"
"Ki comes from Life, for its awakening must be a place where life actually interconnects, an actual jungle, not this concrete jungle. So until we plan to visit a place like that, keep working on your martial arts."
