"Let´s go."
They began circling each other, keeping a distance of about two meters. Then suddenly, Akutsu dashed forward and tried to grab Ryoma. But he grabbed into thin air, as his target moved out of reach in less than a second. To Akutsu´s surprise, Ryoma grabbed him and threw him over his shoulder. There he lay, wide eyes and a shocked expression on his face. How did the midget throw him so easily? Akutsu weighed at least 60 kg and was way taller than the little brat. And now this little pipsqueak threw him? By the time he came back to his senses, someone shouted "20 seconds!" and he knew he lost his first point. To the little runt.
"I´m going to crush you into little pieces you brat!", Akutsu growled while standing up only using his leg power. (Authors Note: You know his creepy way of moving, right?)
"What happened?", someone asked.
"That was way too fast, how did he do that?", asked another one.
"Momoshiro, how did he move so fast?", Syusuke wanted to know.
"I don´t know the details, but apparently, he can control every muscle of his body. Of course that includes the heart and how fast it pumps. But this aren´t all of his abilities.", Momo replied.
"Wait, there is more?", Keigo asked.
"Well, I don´t think he will need it at this point, but maybe he will tell you about himself when you ask him? I don´t know, so just keep watching, senpai-tachi."
"I´m grateful for your advice, but you should watch your tone with us, Momoshiro. You are still our Kouhai and Kunimitsu´s subordinate in the Seigaku tennis team.", Genichiro hissed at the second-year.
"Of course, I´m sorry!", Momo said while he backed away to watch the match from a different spot.
"You should also watch out Kunimitsu. If you´re too friendly with your subordinates they will bite the hand which feeds them."
"I am wary of letting them go out of control. As long as they won´t, they have the freedom to do as they please. Now, let´s keep watching or we will miss how the match will turn out, Genichiro."
In that very moment they heard someone say: "Already the third point? How is this little kid doing that? Against Akutsu none the less!"
"I know right? He is amazing! Maybe I can recruit him for the Karate-Club!"
"I don´t think so. He will join the Judo-Club!"
"No he won´t! He will take on Taekwondo!"
Soon there where representatives of some clubs fighting among themselves about which club the wonder-boy would join, when suddenly a dark vice called out to them: "What the hell are you guys doing in the ring?"
The representatives stopped their fighting, only to realize that they were standing on the court. The very court that was used by Akutsu and Ryoma at that very moment. And the one glaring at them was no other than Akutsu himself.
"What are you assholes doing in our ring?"
They stepped back, shivering and mumbling useless excuses, irritating Akutsu even more.
"Wy don´t you speak up you imbeciles?" Akutsu yelled.
"One step further and it´s my fourth point, Akutsu-senpai…", Ryoma said bored.
"What did you say?"
"I´m sure you heard me right. One more step and you are out of the ring. I would advise you to come back here. Or perhaps you are scared since you already lost three points and didn´t earn one yet? Either way, I would like to continue our little game. I want to go home already."
"I think that´s the most I ever heard him say in one day.", Momo wondered at the side-lines.
"You want a piece of me you little brat? I will personally end your existence right here, right now!", Akutsu yelled in anger.
*Too easy. If he is provoked this easily, I could just have beaten him in class.*, Ryoma thought.
As Akutsu was making his way back to Ryoma, he suddenly lost sight of his opponent. In his confused state, he checked his surroundings and still couldn´t find Ryoma.
He then began laughing hysterically: "So did you run away? All this big talk and no-…", but he was cut off by something. Or rather, by Ryoma, who pulled his legs and made him fall to the ground. Ryoma then sat on top of Akutsus back and grabbed his legs, pulling them up like a wrestler would. But that was no problem Akutsu couldn´t deal with. He pushed himself and Ryoma up with his arms and began walking to the borer of their make-shift fighting-ring. As he reached the edge, he suddenly whipped his body so Ryoma would land on the hard concrete ground.
But this didn´t bring him victory, as Ryoma saw that coming and reached for the ground of the ring with his feet and threw out Akutsu instead. That knocked the older boy out cold.
You could hear students cheering for Ryoma, most rather surprised by Ryomas feat. But to Ryoma it was nothing. He fixed his attire and walked to his brothers casually.
"Can we go now? I´m a little hungry now."
The older boys could only nod and stare at him in awe. To them Ryoma was a mystery. How could this boy defeat Akutsu? But one thing was clear: they would have to have a chat with Ryoma abot his so-called ´abilities´ later.
