Chapter Twenty-Nine:
Raserei was standing in the center of the ring, especially waiting for Mezo to come. The tall boy would go into the ring, but as he got closer, he noticed that the red-haired fighter was exactly the same height as he.
Mezo adopted a normal fighting stance with his closed fists.
Raserei adopted a kickboxing stance of sorts: lead foot forward, rear foot 90 degrees to the side, and his hands in an orthodox stance.
"...AND FIGHT!"
The tall boy did not waste a moment, striking first with an overhand. It sent Raserei back a bit, which Mezo would not let up. He was following up with a right kick into the body.
He blocked it!
Raserei sent out a jab, hitting Mezo square in the side, and then a heavy roundhouse kick into the midsection!
WHAM!
GAHCK!
Mezo keeled over because of the impact alone...
The red-haired brawler then scooped up the tall boy for a takedown, slamming him down on the ground, causing a mini-fissure. Though stunned, Mezo managed to get back his bearings, hit the red-haired brawler with both hands. Repeatedly.
Raserei kept holding on, even though his grip was starting to loosen. Slightly. Emphasis on slightly.
However, it was an attempt to have Mezo waste his striking, which led to Raserei to get into the mount position.
BAM!
SMASH!
WHAM!
Mezo's guard multiplied to six arms, mainly to better his chances at defense, but the frenzied fighter's blows are stronger than he actually thought. Though it looked less like a fighter, more a raging beast.
'There's an opening definitely, just need to time it right...'
SWING!
Shoji generated another arm to deliver a strong hook into the frenzied brawler, stunning him briefly!
"Well, you got me."
Raserei sent a heavy punch back in response, then got off him, and then grabbed him, lifting him up. Shoji, on the other hand, was punching him to weaken his grip, but it was a vain effort. The multi-armed boy's neck and PE pants were gripped tightly, then felt lightness beneath his feet, but quickly realized he was gonna get slammed into the ring!
KRIK-CRACK!
Mezo felt a sharp impact on his back but fell onto the ring after.
Choke Breaker!
Announcers' Booth
"Replay that!" said Aizawa.
Shoji was lifted up by the throat and pants, ready to be choke-slammed, but there was a twist. Raserei's right knee extended as the endpoint, Mezo's back made contact, a cracking sound was heard definitely.
"The classic choke-breaker or chokeslam backbreaker if you want the full name."
Mezo quickly got up, though he felt some pain in his back, was ready to fight once again. He now realizes what composes the base of Raserei's fighting style: Kickboxing and Wrestling, Pro Wrestling to be specific.
'It seems his Quirk is focused around rage, he has to lose focus at some point, it's a risk I'll take.'
Shoji closed the distance, throwing small and focused punches in his center, then back away after a three-punch combo. The frenzied fighter was still standing, but seemed a bit dazed, leading the multi-armed boy close in and strike in.
"Holy crap! Palm strike!"
Raserei bears the full brunt, but it seems he's not taking much damage from that hit, Shoji takes advantage of it and performs a small barrage of strikes to take advantage of it. the brief daze.
However, that would lead to a trap...
Helldrop!
He hooked underneath Shoji's arm, utilizing his momentum against him, and slamming him right into the ground!
The surprise fall made a crater in the arena instantly! Shoji was definitely feeling it, coughing up a bit, but all it did was rouse Raserei out of his dazed state. He smacked Shoji via roundhouse kick which Shoji barely blocked!
WHAM!
The bruises on his arm were very apparent, but that wouldn't be the end of it! Raserei let loose a series of hooks, crosses, and a few low kicks into Shoji's body. In a few moments, Shoji generates a few more arms to increase his defense, and then back away.
'Crap! I took a bit too much damage!'
Shoji made the decision to circle around him... then flank him! Raserei was ready to counter him...
WHAM!
Shoji utilized two extra arms to punch him straight in the face, making his nose bloody, then grab him in a clinch and knee strike him. Repeatedly.
BAM!
BAM!
BAM!
BAM!
BAM!
SLAM!
A final knee sent his head up as Shoji finished the clinch. He was prepping a left straight, ready to knock out Raserei's last lights, but this fight wouldn't end like that. Raserei's right fist was formed...
Shoji saw this!
Both fighters landed both strikes at the same time!
Raserei took damage but Shoji was realizing that this guy was not slowing down. At all. The red-haired brawler powered through the pain, lowering his stance, and sped off. He had a grin on his face, but his smile was like that of a monster you'd see in a horror movie.
"OH! One of his signature moves! Tyrant Drill!"
The red-haired fighter drives his shoulder into Shoji's midsection from a short distance, driving it in and slamming him back into the arena.
Tyran Bohrer!
Shoji was not getting back up as Raserei took the mount position, then wailed on him for a bit. Mezo was taking too much damage at this point, he had to concede, there was no shame in submitting.
However, there was one issue.
Raserei kept striking at him and he wasn't stopping! Mezo used two extra arms to interrupt his rhythm via stomach punch, but that attempt managed to slow him down, albeit for a moment.
Fighters' Section
"Oh, great. He's in that mode again," said a toned female with magenta-colored hair.
"Oh, no. It's Roaring Demon. He said he had better control over that!"
Roaring Demon - A raging state in which Raserei's strength, reflexes, and durability increase in proportion to his rage. The drawback? He's little more than a raging beast and won't stop until his opponent is either unconscious or completely, COMPLETELY eliminated.
"The fuck are you?!"
Mezo was not having a good time! He was now concerned with surviving this fight but took his moment by grabbing the frenzied fighter's arms and then focus his two other arms to deliver Raserei a taste of his own medicine.
He delivers a hook into the side of his face, phasing him! He budged a bit.
WHACK!
He sent a left hook into Raserei's face, forcing him to leap away. Raserei was looking pissed now, losing focus for a bit, now throwing some wide swings into Mezo. The multi-limbed boy dodged the obvious swings, looking for an opportunity...
It's there!
BAM!
An uppercut, interrupting Raserei's barrage, dazing him.
SLAM!
Mezo leaped for a knee strike into Raserei's face. It sent him back for a bit, which led the boy to punch him further. It would devolve into a barrage of fists as Raserei responded back with punches of his own. He then generated two more arms in mid-combat, mainly to increase his damage output, which was working against him! He was dealing more damage now despite his punches still hitting him.
'I'm almost... there... just a little more...'
WHACK!
Mezo's barrage stopped, almost as if he was frozen, he felt his liver light up in pain, and looked down. A fist into his liver.
"You put up a good fight, kid."
The multi-armed boy dropped to his knee while clutching his liver in pain. However, the damage that the boy accumulated would start hitting all at once, making him fade out into unconsciousness.
"WE HAVE A WINNER! BY KO! RASEREI!"
Raserei was walking away from the ring but is feeling the damage as soon as he walks through the ring entrance. Shoji will definitely require a stretcher, but the former had this thought.
'He has potential, not just as a hero, but as a fighter definitely. He utilized his Quirk effectively.'
Student Sections
"Oh... god. Is Shoji gonna be okay?!" exclaimed a concerned Hagakure.
"That... that... beast. He brutalized him," Yaoyorozu stated, shaking a bit. "What type of beasts were invited?!"
"Hmm... I may not be as smart as you, Yaoyorozu. I can't help but think this is training in a way," responded Ojiro. "Let me explain: fights like these are testing our current selves now. Pro fighters such as these are a good test in hindsight."
"... so what you're saying is? It's to test themselves to see how we would do in a fight against a villain? Is that the gist?" said Jirou, twirling one of her ear lobes.
"Correct."
"I only wonder what the principal's been smoking... I'm serious."
Ojiro shrugs in response, but wonders if the principal even smokes at all.
Announcers' Booth
"Antonius... that guy just brutalized one of my students. Sure, it was a sanctioned match, but still."
"Yup... that's what I was concerned about, sending him out first, he's got a bit of history for going a bit too far. Especially after the bell rung."
Aizawa glared a bit at him, but knew what's done is done. "So, who's the next one?"
"Oh, right. The title card says... Farah Nebel. The Vanishing Storm. Known for fierce but sweet personality. Proficient in the field of wrestling and BJJ, she made her name known within the US promotion, Apex Combat Championship. One of the few MMA promotions to allow full-on Quirk usage."
"Wait, really?" said Present Mic.
"Yup. Farah's gonna give the next person an uphill challenge... just like Raserei did."
Player Waiting Room 1
A magenta-haired fighter was breathing calmly, saying "If my parents saw me now, they'd be screaming 'My baby!'. However, I make it through alright at the very least." She was a strawweight in terms of build but did show off some muscles in her arms.
It was her call now.
She heard the announcer make an intro speech.
"No time better than the present."
The Arena
"AND MATCH 2 IS UNDERWAY!" exclaimed Present Mic in his best announcer voice.
[Under Night In-Birth OST - "Night Walker" - watch?v=k3eym4mqS4A]
"FROM CANADA... SHE'S WELL-KNOWN IN THE WEST FOR HER SUBMISSION FINISHES! SHE TRAVERSED HER WAY FROM FRIGID CANADA TO SUNNY JAPAN! STANDING AT 162cm and weighing 53kg! GIVE IT UP FOR FARAH NEBEL!"
As she made her way to the ring, the students got a good look at her: she was built like a boulder but didn't show off too much in the way of muscle, she had some fairly European features, but the magenta-colored hair is what her stand out. Nebel wore some MMA trunks with a grey sports bra with her promotion's brand name on the side.
She stood, waiting for her opponent, taking a normal stance.
Author's Note: The song used belongs to Under Night In-Birth, but specifically its owners: Ecole Software, Ark Systems Works, and French Bread.
Farah Nebel is based on Randa Markos, plus her name was composed of 'joy' [given name in Arabic] and 'mist' [surname is German]. But I changed her hair color a bit.
Tyran Bohrer - A variation of the impact spear [shoulder takedown] you'd see in wrestling. In Raging Fury, it can be quite potent and needs less distance to be effective. Its original name is Tyrant Drill.
Helldrop - The arm drag you'd see in wrestling, but has some superhuman might behind it. It involves hooking underneath the opponent's arm, then utilizing their momentum against them, and slamming them back on the mat.
Roaring Demon - A raging state in which Raserei's strength, reflexes, and durability increase in proportion to his rage. The drawback? He's little more than a raging beast and won't stop until his opponent is either unconscious or completely dead. Its original name would be Tosend Dämon/Gouma.
