Arc 1 Chapter 3: The Test Of a Knight
Kenshi and Momo were facing the man.
"How do you know my name?" Kenshi asked.
"Oh I know more than just your name," the man said as he made a sword from his body, "I know you're the boy who is currently dating my niece, you attend U.A High School, and let me guess. You're the champion of Sword Art Ultimate as of right now?"
Momo recognized the man's voice.
"Uncle?" she asked.
"Uncle?" Kenshi asked Momo.
The man unmasked himself revealing his face.
"You just have to spoil the surprise, don't you. Well,I am Iroh Yaoyorozu, but the world knows me as the weapons hero; Blacksmith!" he said introducing himself. He was carrying a sword.
(Iroh Yaoyorozu. Quirk: Metalwork. He can create completely forged weapons from his body, such as swords, bows, and shields. However, the more weapons he makes, the more his body starts to overheat.)
Kenshi recognized that sword from one of Izuku's hero analysis books.
"That's his strongest sword up to date!" Kenshi said, "Excelsior!"
"Well, looks like someone's done their homework," Iroh said as he smirked, "You certainly know about your swords and weapons young man."
Saya and Makoto walked out to see what all the ruckus was about. After recognizing the armor, Saya looked at him.
"Iroh, what are you doing here?" she asked.
"Ahh, so surprised to see that my little sister has settled in this city," Iroh said, "I have come here to see the boy who is dating Momo Yaoyorozu."
Saya realized what he was planning. Iroh then turned back to Kenshi.
"I am grateful that you managed to save my niece from the league of villains, however, in order to see who you truly are, I will need to see what you are made of," he said, "Later today, I must give you a test, a challenge to prove that you are the best."
Kenshi was confused, but Momo chuckled.
"Its part of his character," Momo said.
"Forge a weapon that my Excelsior cannot beat," Iroh said, "That is until you admit defeat. Today at 6 when the clock strikes zero, prove that you belong in the world of heroes."
"Uhhhhh…."Kenshi looks at Momo in confusion.
"He wants to give you some sort of test at 6 in the evening, sweetie." Momo explained.
"Ohhhh. That makes sense." Kenshi said, causing Momo's parents to laugh.
Kenshi then turned to Iroh and said, "Sir, I accept your challenge."
"You're a wise man, to walk right up to the fight," Iroh told him, "Be sure to do this test with all your might."
A few hours later…..
Kenshi was in the backyard of Momo's mansion in a battlefield that was put together. He was on one side while Iroh was on the other side. To fuel up on items, Kenshi had a few cans of Red Bull. He considers it to be his fuel in order to wield his gaming weapons for longer periods of time in the same way Iida had orange juice and his brother had grape juice. Meanwhile Momo and her parents were standing to the side seeing how the test will go.
"Was Uncle Iroh always like this when you dated Father?" Momo asked Saya.
"Well…. His methods were questionable, but he soon warmed up to your father," she told her daughter, "He gets pretty protective of me since I'm his only sibling."
Kenshi was doing some warm ups and stretches similar to the Wii Fit Trainer.
"Get ready, son, this is a serious fight and not just fun!" Iroh says wielding a sword similar to his signature sword.
"I honestly don't know what you just said but if its' a fight you want, a fight you shall get!" Kenshi says wielding the buster sword from final fantasy VII.
"'Tis a fine sword i must say, but can it stand up to The Great Fray!" Iroh says referring to the sword he was currently wielding.
The 2 clash, neither giving an inch as sparks flew from the point of contact of the two swords. Kenshi noticed his sword starting to crack and jumped away from the pro hero, discarding his Buster sword, and grabbing the High-Frequency Sword from metal gear solid.
"You know i find it offensive because you arent using Excelsior.'' Kenshi told the pro as he clashes with him.
"Defeat this blade with your strongest might, then to face Excelsior, you shall earn the right!" Iroh said once again, rhyming all his words, much to the annoyance of Kenshi.
"Seriously, do you ever talk like a normal human?" kenshi says finally pushing iroh back.
Kenshi noticed that Iroh's blade was cracking at the edges.
"That blade isnt going to last you long, sir!" kenshi tells him. "You really need to change blades if you want to continue our fight."
"Keen sighted you are for sure, lets see you keep up with my Excelsior!" Iroh said tossing his sword to the side before grabbing his signature swords.
Iroh swings his blade at Kenshi who tries to block it only for his blade to completely shatter.
"Damn!" Kenshi curses under his breath.
"Alright, you get one last chance to prove that you are worthy for my niece." Iroh tells Kenshi in a threatening tone.
"So you can speak like a normal person, good." Kenshi said as he surfs through his inventory to find something he can use, when he hears Alpha's voice in his head.
"Use this one." Alpha advised Kenshi, pointing to a very specific sword in the inventory.
"You sure alpha? It looks too simple to be strong." Kenshi tells alpha.
"Trust me on this, this is one of the strongest blades you have right now." Alpha tells him.
"I really hope you're right, alpha, or we have to say bye to Momo forever." Kenshi says as he selects the sword that alpha told him, "Limits are made to be broken…."
