2. Fist Fight

My friend got my account pass so there might be some reviews done under my account name. Yeah, he's a jackass. Ignore him please.

Disclaimer: I don't own Monster hunter.

Rika could see where this was going, and she didn't like it.

Kodah stood there with the guy's wrist in his hand, just staring at him blankly. "No need to resort to violence." That was all he needed to say. By the look on the other hunter's face, someone was going to get a beating, and she was worried that it was going to be Kodah on the receiving end.

This scene look familiar. It was many years ago, and the situation was almost the same. But it was different guys. At least she thought so. Oh well, she thought, I'll just forget about It for now. Besides, there are bigger things to deal with right now.

By now everybody in class surrounded the two hunters. The look on the students differed by gender. Most girls looked worried that someone was going to get hurt, while the boys looked rather happy that Kodah was going to get beat up. "Punch him Blake!" a boy in the crowd shouted. What happened next, they did not expect.

The boy now known as Blake swung his free fist at Kodah's head. No one expected him to dodge it and counter with a quick shove. Blake turned around so Rika could see his face, and he looked mad. He charged at Kodah, aiming a punch. He dodged it again and tripped his opponent as he went by. Blake was unable to catch himself and fell on his face. Two other boys took this as their queue to enter the fight, standing in front of the hunter. He just looked at them with the same blank, pale grey eyes.

This seemed to infuriate the two boys, as they charged one after another at him. He just side-stepped the first one and flipped the other boy over his back. Everyone was silent as they looked at the hunter. They were wondering how he could have beat three guys just as big as him even though he sucked at hunting. Just then, a fourth boy smashed the flat side of his greatsword over Kodah's head from behind.

Rika gasped as she heard the impact and watched horrified as Kodah crumpled to the ground. The one wielding the greatsword was smirking at the form of the hunter on the ground. Macie had a frown on her face as she looked on.

"That was a low blow. Not entirely fair, don't you think?" the huntress questioned, "Or were you afraid that you'd lose when facing him head on?" The look of triumph on the boy's face faltered at Macie's words.

"W-what? N-no, of course I could beat him head on!" the boy stammered out.

Just then, Kodah kicked the boy's legs out from under him. Before the boy even hit the ground, Kodah was up and had his knees on the other boy's chest, pinning him. He kneeled on top of the other hunter, keeping him from moving and fighting back.

Just then, the teacher came back into the room. "Someone tell me what the hell is going on in here," the man demanded. He then caught sight of the two hunters on the ground, and let out a sigh. "Please get off your classmate, and everyone, just go back to what you were doing before."

As the students dispersed, the grey eyed hunter got off and went back to his seat and Rika followed silently.

'Why was I worried? He can obviously handle himself in a fight. But where did he learn, and how come he doesn't just put those moves into his hunting strategy?' she thought. And it looked like Macie knows something about him. Oh well, I'll worry about it later.

"So what was the gasp for earlier," the boy across from her asked.

"Oh. It was because of your monster notes. They are so detailed and there are monsters in there that I've never even heard of before."

Kodah gave her what could be considered a look of surprise, though all that it was that his eyes widened only slightly. "You've never heard of those monsters?"

"No, why? Should I have?"

The boy leaned back and sighed, "Well you're in for a rude awakening," the teen said as he handed her his monster notes again, "go ahead and study them for a while, I already know everything."

Wow. That was the longest sentence she heard him say. And it didn't look like he was going to say anything more for a while. She gave a small shrug and opened his monster notes to the first page. She looked on in amazement at the entry list in his notes. It was divided into sections by threat level, starting at one and ending at six. She decided to start with the first monster she hadn't heard of which was the Wroggi.

'Ok, is like Jaggi and Baggi as they travel in packs. They kill their prey with claws and a poison they produce in a gland in their mouth and throats. They have a two star threat level. Led by an alpha male. I can guess what it's called.' And sure enough, there it was. The Great Wroggi with a three star threat level. 'It says that they live in the Flooded Forest and Volcano, and considering we've hardly gotten into large monsters besides those found on the deserted island and underwater areas of the flooded forest, it's no wonder why I haven't heard of them before.'

She proceeded to read through his thorough notes, hardly making It a quarter of the way through when the bell rang, signaling the end of the last class of the day. 'Oh yeah, it's Friday. Weekend here I come,' the young girl thought excitedly, 'No academy tomorrow.' The academy students had Saturday and Sunday off, but the school offered low difficulty large monster contracts and everything below them on Sundays. Rika was planning to come in then.

She handed Kodah his notes back, "Thanks for letting me read them. They were very informative." The boy just nodded in affirmation and took his notes from her hands. He proceeded to put them back in his pack as Rika just stood there looking for something to say. Then she had an idea. "Are you planning on coming in for the Sunday hunt?" Kodah looked up at her then back down at his pack. He nodded and said he was.

"Cool. I'll see you Sunday then." She then got up and walked over to Macie who was standing by the door waiting for her. She looked rather impatient.

"Jeez, took you long enough. So what did you learn about our resident ass-kicker?"

Rika laughed at the last bit. "Nothing much other than his name is Kodah and that he has extensive knowledge of monsters I've never heard of."

"Oh yeah, like what?"

"Ever heard of subspecies?"

"No."

"Well apparently there are 2 subspecies of the Rathian, which is what we are now studying and there has been no mention of subspecies."

Her friend thought for a minute and concluded that they were probably going to study them later in the year or next year. "I wonder how he knows about them. Oh well, anything else?"

Rika wracked her brain. "Oh, he's coming to the Sunday hunt this weekend." Rika turned around to see that most of the others had left. The only people that were left in the room were herself, Macie, Kodah and five others, not one of them the teacher. Kodah got up made his way to the door and was about to exit when Rika saw him shoved back into the room. Then she saw six boys enter with that boy from earlier, Blake, in the lead looking to settle unfinished business.

"Oh no boys," Macie walked towards them, "no more fighting."

"Shut up and stay out of this," Blake snapped. Kodah just stared at them blankly. He then tried to go around them only to be shoved back again. "No you don't you little punk," Blake growled threateningly, "You owe us an apology."

Macie butted in, saying, "No he doesn't. If you weren't acting like an-"

"Stop," Kodah cut her off, "If they want a fight so badly, I'll give them what they want." He then set his pack on the table beside him. Blake gestured to give them room. Macie just stood there, looking between the two boys, until she shook her head exasperatedly. "You are an idiot, Blake. I was trying to protect YOU, not him. Hope you have a good time getting your ass kicked, guys." She then walked back to Rika who stood there looking between the group and Kodah, who looked unworried and blank of expression. Then out of nowhere, Blake threw a savage right hook. Rika waited for the thud of skin on skin but it never came. Instead Kodah had caught the punch, and was standing there. Then he punched Blake with a well-aimed jab to his solar plexus, winding the other boy. Two more boys charged forward aiming punches and kickes. Kodah managed to dodge all but three, which were just light blows compared to the rest they had swung at him.

Kodah pushed a fist aside and came in with a hard uppercut to one of the boys chins, while the other managed to kick Kodah in the shin. All he did was wince slightly from it while most would fall to one knee. He then aimed several punches to the hunter's mid-section then tripping him and kicking him in the gut, putting out of the fight for a little while. The other three boys ran at him, throwing punches and kicks which he dodged and blocked. As one boy managed to trip him, he fell on his back as one of the three charged for a superman punch. Just when the guy reached him, he grabbed the guy's arm, shoved his foot into his gut and propelled him 10 feet into the wall. Every boy had gotten up except for the one he just launched and were surrounding him. They stood there facing off with Kodah, utile they all at him at once.

Realizing that he couldn't face them all at once, he took two out with quick kicks while the rest of them descended upon him. In a flurry of punches, the six boys backed off. Kodah had multiple cuts on his face and quite a few bruises on his arms and legs. The other six looked just as beat.

"I think- huff-you've- huff- had enough- huff- of a beating," Blake managed to get out between breaths. Kodah didn't even look winded, "Don't make me mad again." He then walked off with the other boys in tow.

Macie look irritated. "Why does he try to act tough and cool? I me, ugh, he just got his and five others beaten up while this guy isn't even breathing hard. Speaking of which, are you okay?" she called out to Kodah. He nodded. He went to his bag and opened it, pulling out some glass jars. As he drank one of them, his bruises started to fad and his cuts stopped bleeping. 'Whoa, what was that?' Rika thought, 'All his injuries just disappeared.' He then walked to the door as if nothing happened; stopping only to turn around and say, "See you Sunday."

Ok, how'd I do this time? Please R&R, I would like your thoughts on this story. I hope you enjoyed the chapter, and I'll cya next time.
