One day left, Oh man. "ONE MORE DAY!"
People on the street looked like I was crazy, but I didn't care. I had something to do, after all tomorrow was the first day of UA. I wanted to fight, I wanted to meet the other potential heroes. Most of all I wanted to know about all this shit about successors. Rumi had been continuously talking about how the other heroes are getting along. Apparently Endeavor, the number 2 hero was having his son enter.
Remembering that guy's career I had to wonder what his son would be like. Personally Endeavor talking about it seemed stupid since what if someone attacked his son? Which made me all the more wonder what that guy would be like.
I stopped at what looked like a Gym. Rumi had called me here for the last day. So I entered and it was empty. "Rumi?"
She burst out of a closet with a bunch of equipment. "Kid, we're gonna have a little spar."
I felt my brain freeze up and I could only ask the most obvious question. "What?"
Rumi tossed me a pair of boxing gloves and a padded helmet. "Put 'em on and get in the ring."
So today I was getting my ass kicked. I suppose this was her way of sending me off, making sure I don't get arrogant. I put on the gloves and the helmet. Rumi was wearing something similar, however she had pads on her legs. Likely because she kicked more.
I sighed, and jumped into the ring. "So h-"
She swung a kick and I stepped back. She had a smirk on her face. So this was how it was gonna be, I put up my guard. I don't have the best martial arts training, but I could box. Rumi would have longer reach with her kicks.
Rumi was slightly bouncing in place. I had to get close to minimize her range, but if I did she would kick me. She moved with a side step and a kick. I blocked, but it hurt like hell.
So, wow no blocking. Just because I was physically strong didn't mean I had defense. I moved quickly to throw a punch. However Rumi kicked me again and moved backwards. "Ah man, yaaaawn so boring."
I thought for a second, I lowered my guard slightly and Rumi moved to kick again. So I threw one of my own. With my longer legs I managed to kick her first and she had the wind knocked out of her for a second. Though her recovery was much faster.
Either she had more experience getting hit then me or I didn't know how to kick with a lot of strength like she does. Both made sense, I moved quickly closer to her and threw a jab, but Rumi hit me with an uppercut and I had to stagger back."
"Just because I kick hard doesn't mean I can't throw a punch."
I frowned because it was unfair. She was basically gonna beat me up because she had a short arm length so close range is harder for me or she will throw hard kicks that will hurt like a bitch. Rumi mocked, "Are you gonna do something or are you just gonna pretend to be my practice dummy."
I clicked my tongue, "Fine."
The next time Rumi kicked I released a wave of light. The light blinded both of us. I made a mental note to myself to have sunglasses on my costume. However despite being blinded I managed to grab Rumi's Leg.
"Woah, Holy shit!" My face hit the ground and her legs were straddling my arm and twisting it. Rumi had a big smirk. "Did you think a flash would stop me? Sorry, but I know about 8 martial arts. Ha, just joking!"
She had me pinned by my arm. I thought for a second and bit her calf. "Ah, You fucking bitch!"
She twisted harder, and I grabbed her leg with my other arm. Rumi gritted out, "Tap out!"
I bit down harder and dug my hand into her though. It was only a second later that she released and she was on her feet again. "You bastard!"
I wiped my mouth, "I don't know your reasoning for this spar, but realistically if I am fighting someone I will try everything."
Rumi frowned, "You drew blood, now there's a bite mark in my leg. That's totally gonna scar."
I looked at her in confusion. "Wh-what? That's your concern?"
Rumi motioned to her legs, "Do you see many scars on my legs?"
Well, that was true. However, "You are guaranteed to win. So I don't see why I can't put up all the resistance I can."
She paused, "Yeah, that's fair. Now put up your guard, we aren't done."
