Chapter 51: A Wrestler's Challenge
As Yuri was being taken away from the ring, Sakura and Alex were already stretching and preparing for their upcoming fight. As the Announcer was about to make the announcement, Sakura and Alex were already making their way to the ring.
"And now, Sakura and Al.....Oh....well.....Sakura and Alex are preparing to fight, everyone!", said the upstaged Announcer.
As they got to the center of the ring, Sakura held a joyful smile, as she gave him the "peace" sign.
"Heehee.....Hey! I won't go easy on you. Don't you do hold back on me just because I'm a high school girl!"
Alex held a face of indifference, which turned into a smile as she said this. "I'd be a fool to hold back on anyone!"
She dropped into her fighting stance, still maintaining her smile as Alex dropped into his grappling stance.
"Let the match............BEGIN!"
As the match was signaled to start, Sakura lunged in, attempting to strike at Alex. However, as Alex moved to counter, Sakura pulled her punch and managed to land a leg sweep instead, throwing Alex off guard. Alex was floored, being dropped to the ground due to the leg sweep. Sakura rose up to follow up with an Axe kick. However, Alex, being quick witted on the ground, moved out of the way as he leg came down, hitting nothing but ground. Suddenly, Alex lunged right in and took advantage of the open Sakura, landing a rough fist into her ribs. The punch sent her back a bit, as she buckled underneath the force of the punch. However, she held one hand to stop her from following completely, propping herself to a handstand and twirling, landing a strong kick to Alex's face. Alex was sent pushed back a ways from the spinning kick, his face with a grimace of pain.
Alex looked at his opponent as Sakura flipped to her normal standing position, favoring her ribs. Sakura laughed.
"Heh....you got me good there."
Alex only smiled as he dropped back into his position.
"You're not too bad of an opponent yourself"
Alex suddenly flashed in front of her, his hand coming out in a slashing motion. However, Sakura's fighting instincts allowed her to duck underneath the chop right on time, barely dodging the chop completely, as she landed a right uppercut into Alex's ribs, causing him to back away. She got to her stance again, with a smile and a laugh.
"Hehehe....that was payback for the punch before"
Alex coughed a little at the force of the punch.
"Heh...I guess you could say I deserved that one. Now then, let's get back down to business."
He dropped back into his stance, smirking at Sakura as she prepared herself for the next move.
The two fighters got in their opening blows. Who will come out on top?
