A/N: Guys I added things to the last chapter, so if you missed that, make sure to re-read it before starting this one.
...
"I finally… caught up with you guys!" I said as I doubled over, heaving heavily in order to catch my breath.
After tracking them down I finally managed to catch up with them on the bridge that's on the way to school.
"Oh, he found us," Miyako stated plainly.
"Umu, ne Kazukko, didn't you say you left him on Shanaishima?" Momoyo asked her sister.
"Yep!" She said cheerfully as if she was proud of the time it took her to get from there to here. "Oh sorry Mari-kun, when they blew the whistle it's just in my instinct to come running."
"He managed to catch up all the way from Shanaishima?" Yamato asked.
"Wanko, why?" I managed to sputter out before collapsing on the ground.
As I buried my face into the sidewalk I heard people start to gather around me. "Omari-kun are you all right?" I heard Moro's voice ask.
"Describe… ``alright," I heaved into the ground.
"Looks like he's out of breath," Capt noted.
"Looks like it," Momoyo stated. "C'mon Mari-kun, laying down isn't going to help you catch your breath."
"I know… I know…" I said as she lifted me up like a rag doll. With that, I crossed my hands behind my head, taking deep breaths.
Wait a minute… Have I introduced myself to all of them yet? I mean they should know me from my introduction, and of course, I would know them from me playing their game, but they wouldn't know that.
"W-Wanko, are these your friends?" I asked.
She nodded as she introduced me to the rest of the Kazama family, Chris and Miyako (I guess they aren't actually apart of the family yet.)
"Well it's nice to meet all of you," I said with a bow.
"Your Japanese etiquette is very well pronounced," Chris praised me.
"Haha, it was just a bo-"
"Brother! That's Kawakami Momoyo!" An annoying voice interrupted me mid-sentence.
"Yes, she's as beautiful as the rumors say she is, she passes with a perfect score," a just as annoying yet deeper voice followed.
"Two muscular guys. Must be today's challengers," Yamato noted.
"You must be Kawakami Momoyo," the younger, slightly skinnier brother screeched.
"Yeah, that's me," Momoyo said with her hand on her hip, looking very unimpressed.
"Everyone in our home town knows about us. We are the Niou brothers," The older and more muscular brother spoke. "We're looking for a strong wife so we can make a successor for our dojo."
"Kawakami Momoyo, come with us and be our wife!" The younger brother chimed in.
They want to have the same wife and a child from the same wife? That's kinda weird but hey, to each their own. I certainly can't blame them for wanting Momoyo but Jesus.
"It's like they're two Gakuto's, two stupid muscular guys," Miyako noted.
"Hmm, I'm obviously smarter and better than them," Gakuto replied.
I let out a snicker, I'm not too sure about that.
"Hey did you just laugh foreigner!?" Gakuto yelled at me.
"No no of course not," I raised my hands up in surrender.
Returning back to Momoyo she still looked just as unimpressed as she did before. "Is this a challenge or a search for your wife?"
"We don't even need a match. We'll win easily," the younger brother laughed.
"We're looking for a wife who will do us both, HAHAHA!"
They're some weirdos, that's for sure.
"What's with these rude men, you can't call them challengers," Chris noted.
"How about this," Momoyo said smiling for the first time since the challengers arrived. "See that man over there," she said pointing at me. "He's my protege, I'm teaching him everything I know."
"Huh? Since when?" I was shocked to say the least.
"Beat him, and I'll agree to marry you and bear your children," the smile on her face was that of devil-like confidence.
"Deal," they both agreed.
"WHAT!?" The entire Kazam family plus the extra three with them said in unison.
"Nee-san you can't be serious," Yamato said baffled.
"He's right Momoyo-san," I said as I ran up to her. "I'm really not sure if I'm in the state to fight considering I'm winded, not only that but I haven't even been training that long and you already think I can beat renown fighters?"
She just smiled at me without a worry in the world. "Men do their best work when they're backed against a wall. I've already made the conditions of the fight. If you don't I'll be forced to marry them and have their children."
I clicked my tongue. "I guess I have to then."
"Umu," She nodded.
[Quest added:
"If you like it you'll have to fight my protege before you can put a ring on it!"
Description:
Momoyo backed you into a corner, fight these two guys and keep her from getting married!
Reward:
Beating them: 2300 XP]
I stepped up in front of the two brothers. "I guess I'm your opponent today."
The younger one snarled. "If you think we're afraid of you just because you're a foreigner, think again!" Why would I think that?
"Yeah, we've beaten plenty of foreigners just like you," the older one added.
I smiled, trying to hide the sinking feeling of nervousness in my gut. "Then this shouldn't be a problem for you."
The two brothers both got into their fighting position. Looks like I'm fighting these two at the same time. No wonder the XP reward was so much.
I got into my position, I guess it was time to fight for real.
…
At the sidelines, Omari's new friends were beginning to watch the fight start.
"T-That fighting stance!" Momyo seemed surprised.
"Hehe," Wanko sheepishly smiled as she scratched the back of her head. "Sorry Nee-sama I know I wasn't supposed to teach him anything, but I decided to show him a few things during our training."
Momoyo didn't get upset, on the contrary, she smiled. "Normally I would have to scold you for teaching Kawakami techniques to the uninitiated… but right now, that's going to come in handy… so thank you Kazuko."
"Onee-sama…" Wanko partially felt upset that she would have been scolded but in the end, she understood.
"Nee-san, shouldn't you be more worried? I mean, your entire life lies in the hands of an amateur," Yamato questioned his fake-older sister.
"Yamato don't you trust my judgment?" She questioned.
"Huh?"
"Do you really think that I'd put myself in a situation like this if I wasn't confident?"
Yamato remained silent for a moment. "I just don't understand how he could be any stronger than yesterday."
"Trust me," Momoyo smiled to herself. "He's gotten plenty stronger since the other day."
…
I've never seen a slower punch in my life. I stepped back with time to spare and let the older brother's punch sail past me along with his entire body. I stuck my foot out in order to trip him as he ran past.
"OUCH!" he screamed as he face planted into the ground.
"YOU MOTHER-" I didn't have any time to laugh though as the younger brother followed up with a swift jab towards my face.
"Heh," It was slow, I guess that's what I get for increase my perception. I reached up and grabbed his fist before it was able to hit me in the face.
"How did you?" The younger brother asked.
"You're too slow," I've always wanted to say that. With that, I pulled his arm, along with his upper torso down, bringing my knee up in the process, slamming it into his face.
The knee was strong enough to send the brother railing back, landing flat on his ass. He brought his hand up to his face in pain as he rolled around on the ground.
"Enough with your tricks!" The older brother yelled. I guess he recovered in the time I was kicking his little brother's ass.
His body language was plain as day, he started to turn around for a spinning roundhouse kick but before he could even finish it, I closed the distance between us and tackled him to the ground.
…
The rest of them watched in awe at the ugly looking fight. It was obvious that Omari was winning the match but as far as aesthetics go, he still had a lot to learn.
"H-He certainly isn't giving them a chance to breathe," Miyukie stuttered as she watched the fight.
"Umu, I suppose his plan is to keep pressure on them so they can't think… It just doesn't look that cool," Momoyo noted as a sweat drop started to form on her forehead.
"It looks… cramped," Yamato noted as he watched Omari ground and pound the older brother.
"But he has gotten better," Wanko said as she stared intensely at the fight. "He's definitely better than yesterday when I fought him."
"How is that even possible?" Moro asked.
"Like I've said before… There's something about him," Momoyo said with a slight smile.
…
"Fuckin' weirdo, wanting to fuck a girl with his own brother!" I screamed down at him as I sent my fists down into his face.
"Ow Ow I-I give!" the man screamed as I continued to pound him.
"You give, huh?" I say as I stop my barrage of attacks. I looked down at him, trying to catch my breath. His face was lumped in and bruised, I guess I really didn't need to continue this any further.
Just as I began to get off of him I felt a sharp pain on my side. I turned to see that it was the younger brother. He had landed a low key straight into my ribs.
"Huh?" The younger brother said in confusion as I grabbed his leg.
"HA!" I yelled down as I brought one of my elbows down onto his leg as hard as I could.
"AAAA!" He screamed as I felt the vibration of his leg cracking.
Damn, that was enough to break a bone? I really have gotten stronger.
The younger brother rolled around in pain. It looked like he was unable to battle, which means I'm the winner.
I stood up, both the brothers were rolling around in pain. I looked back at the Kazama family (+ Chris and Miyuki)
I let out a little laugh. "That wasn't too bad," I said as I scratched the back of my head.
"Mari-kun!" Wanko yelled out as she ran up to me. "That was amazing, you're even stronger than you were yesterday!"
"Yeah with that kind of power you might actually give Kazuko a run for her money," Momyo complimented me as she patted me on my back. "You're beginning to look like a promising protege."
"With how thoroughly she kicked my ass yesterday, I doubt it," I said humbling myself.
But with this Gamer ability, who knows what kind of power I can achieve?
...
A/N:
