Chapter 3
Raibaru then invite Osana for a cup of tea at a café in Buraza Town. While waiting for their morning tea to arrive, Raibaru begins to discuss about Ayano and her upcoming fighting tournament.
Raibaru
"I heard that you are going to join Ayano's Akademi Fighting Tournament. What's your reason if you don't mind asking? Is it for fame or is it for money?"
Osana
"Well, I'm only joining the tournament to save my friend."
Raibaru
"Your friend? What happened?"
Osana
"Well, it's a bit of a long story, but I'll try to explain as much as I can."
Waitress
"Sorry to interrupt you two, but here are your two cup of teas."
Osana
"Oh, thank you."
Osana then told Raibaru the whole story while enjoying their tea.
Raibaru
"I see. So Ayano kidnapped your friend and you're trying to save him by defeating her in the tournament."
Osana
"Yep. I'm going to win this tournament and save my friend!"
Raibaru
"I hate to be blunt, but I'm afraid you will not be able to beat Ayano. Hell, you probably will not even make it to Ayano in the tournament."
Osana
"Huh? What are you trying to say!? Are you saying that I'm weak!?"
Raibaru
"Well, I'm going to be honest right now. For the past several days, I had been secretly watching and observing your fighting against your two friends. One of the fighting techniques I was very impressed was your kicks, flexibility, and dodging skills."
Osana
"Hold on, so for the past several days, you had been spying on me while I was sparring with Taro and Hanako!?"
Raibaru
"Yes I had, Osana. Also, I'm not done explaining yet so could you please let me finish first?"
Osana
"Alright, fine!"
Raibaru
"As I was saying, you got some great fighting techniques. But what you're currently lacking is defense."
Osana
"What do you mean I lack defense!? I can simply avoid my opponent's attacks by dodging or blocking."
Raibaru
"Well, dodging and blocking is important. But, do you know what parrying is?"
Osana
"Parrying? Um, no I don't."
Raibaru
"That's what I thought. Your main weakness is not knowing what parrying is. If you don't know how to parry your opponent's attacks, you're not going to win this upcoming tournament."
Osana
"Well, even if I don't know how to parry, I can still defeat Ayano with my current skills and techniques!"
Raibaru
"Is that so? Then, after we finish our tea, why don't we have a little match at the park in Buraza Town?"
Osana
"Huh? So you want to fight me!?"
Raibaru
"Yes! If you win, I'll take back everything I just said earlier. But, if you lose, then that proves to me that you won't be able to defeat Ayano."
Osana
"Alright then, I accept your challenge, Raibaru! Don't start complaining if I mess up your pretty face!"
Raibaru
"Same goes for you too."
After Osana and Raibaru finished their morning tea, the two then went back to the park in Buraza Town to begin their fight.
Raibaru
"Before we have our battle, there's one more thing I need to ask."
Osana
"What is it?"
Raibaru
"When I was observing your fighting for the past several days, I noticed that you don't use one but multiple fighting styles. If that's true, can you tell me what those fighting styles are?"
Osana
"Sharp eyes you got there, Raibaru! My fighting style is basically a mix of Chinese Martial Arts."
Raibaru
"What kind of Chinese martial arts?"
Osana
"Kung Fu, Baji Quan, Baguazhang, and many more."
Raibaru
"Interesting. Ok, now let's begin!"
Osana and Raibaru both got into their fighting stance. Osana then charges forward and begins to strike Raibaru by doing a mix of punch and kicks. However, Osana didn't land a single hit on Raibaru because she parried all of Osana's attacks.
Osana
"(What!? How did she avoid all of my attacks!?)"
Osana then tried to kick Raibaru. But Raibaru parried her kick and performed a Burst Punch Combo on her. The punch combo knocked Osana to the ground.
Osana
"(Damn, Raibaru is much stronger then Taro and Hanako! Guess I'll have to use one of my secret techniques to take her down!)"
Even though Osana was already wounded from Raibaru's attack, Osana still managed to get back up on her feet.
Raibaru
"Seems like those punches wasn't enough to take you out."
Osana
"That's because I don't go down that easily! Now watch this, Raibaru!"
Raibaru
"Huh!?"
Osana
"Hyakuretsukyaku!"
Osana then performed the Hyakuretsukyaku kick. Hyakuretsukyaku (aka: Lightning Kick) is one of Osana's special kick techniques. It's a technique where Osana unleashes a flurry of kicks at her opponent. This kick technique can leave her opponent breathless because of her nonstop rapid of kicks. Despite the speed of the Hyakuretsukyaku kick technique, Raibaru still manages to parry all of Osana's kicks. After the parrying, Raibaru then performs a powerful uppercut move on Osana. The uppercut sends Osana in the air.
Osana
"Gah!"
After hitting the ground, Osana immediately stands up. However, she is currently covered in bruises and also low on stamina after receiving several blows from Raibaru's attacks. Raibaru then put her fist down after noticing that Osana is almost out of stamina.
Osana
"Not yet, Raibaru! Don't you dare lower your fist!"
Raibaru
"Let's stop this, Osana. We already know who the winner is."
Osana
"Shut up!"
Osana who is currently in a weaken state tries to punch Raibaru. But due to low stamina, Raibaru easily grabbed Osana's arm and performed a Priestess Double Kick. Priestess Double Kick is a grappling move that first grab the opponent's arm and then unleashes a high roundhouse kick followed by a left heel drop kick to the face. After Raibaru performed the Priestess Double Kick on Osana, Osana was knocked out. About an hour later, Osana manages to regain consciousness.
Osana
"U-ugh, my head."
Hanako
"Oh my god! Osana is finally awake!"
Raibaru
"It's about time."
Osana
"W-where am I?"
Raibaru
"You're still at the park in Buraza Town."
Osana
"I see."
Osana then tries to get up. But due to her injuries she received from the fight against Raibaru, Osana is currently unable to move a muscle.
Osana
"Ow, I can't even move!"
Hanako
"Take it easy, Osana! I just gave you some first aid not too long ago. So you should give your body a rest for now!"
Osana
"Alright, fine!"
A few seconds later, Osana regained her senses.
Osana
"Wait a minute!? Did I lose the fight!?"
Raibaru
"Well, you've been out cold for almost an hour after the match against me. So, it should be obvious."
Osana
"So I really did lost the fight."
Raibaru
"Yep."
Osana
"Damn! Also, what are you doing here, Hanako?"
Hanako
"Looking for you, of course! You had me worried sick you know! I was searching all over the place for you!"
Osana
"You were?"
Hanako
"Yes, Osana! When I finally found your unconscious body at the park in Buraza Town, me and this Raibaru girl quickly went to the store to buy a first aid kit to treat your wounds!"
Osana
"Oh um, thanks."
Hanako
"Next time before you leave my house, please let me know beforehand! You had me worried sick!"
Osana
"Sorry, Hanako."
Hanako
"It's ok, Osana. I forgive you. So, would you mind telling me why you were fighting Raibaru?"
Osana
"Oh, about that."
