Chapter Thirty-Two:
CLASH!
Sugawara closed the distance with a straight punch, landing a solid hit on Kamikiri. The green boy generated blades but as a guarding measure!
'W-W-What the?!'
The insect boy buckled for a moment, now truly getting an idea of how potent the old Karateka was. However, this was only the start of it...
POW!
POW!
POW! POW!
Kamikiri was getting piled on by the karateka's flurry of strong jabs and crosses but surprised the old fighter...
"Gotcha, old man!"
SLASH!
He was sure landed a strike on him, but it was a small stream of blood! Not the large one he was expecting.
"Interesting, it's a like pseudo-Nanto Seiken to a degree," responded Sugawara. Kamikiri was a bit confused about the response, but ignored it and kept slashing at him. However, the old master was wise to this: Kamikiri would go on a barrage, neglecting defense, and focusing solely on offense to take him down.
Kamikiri's strikes were being parried or blocked!
BAM!
A palm strike to the face stopped the mantis boy's momentum but Kamikiri recovers and goes for an overhand strike!
"Oh, Sugawara's planning to tank that head-on!" yelled Antonius. However, Sugawara stepped back and immediately blocked it via cross-block; He moved into the inside, grabbing the insect boy's attacking arm with one hand and then damaging his chin with a back-fist via the other hand.
Kamikiri was dazed but the old karateka wasn't done. He had the bug kid's pulled down, mainly by the elbow in the form of a V. Sugawara used his foot to turn things in a circular motion, spinning around, and then dropping down to one knee. All while twisting the green kid's arm.
Swallow Reversal!
The result: a downed Kamikiri.
CHOP!
A chop to the face was just the finishing touch.
1-B Section
Kendo made it back before the match started, but was surprised that her grandfather was participating. However, she knew that her classmate wasn't going to have much of a chance against him.
The expertly-executed takedown should have been a hint.
Kamikiri was feeling pain all over, but he ignored it and went after the old man. He aimed for a double hammer fist but generated sharp blades to bring extra damage on his end.
THUNK!
He did get him, did he?
"Good move, but a bit more force is needed."
"What the hell type of Quirk do you have?!"
The gi was definitely cut up but the affected areas were revealed to be a coal-grey color with a tinge of blue on the outer areas.
BOOM!
Four Star Blow!
Four straight punches into Kamikiri's head with sounds being comparable to gunshots. He stumbled back, clutching his head in pain, worrying 1-B and even 1-A. Kendo noticed that his version was deadlier than hers, especially with his Quirk enhancing that technique.
"Gah... that fucking smarts... " responded Kamikiri, slurring his words for a bit. "Howver, I'm not... bacing dow.."
He then ran at him, then swayed to the side in an attempt to catch him off guard; He went for a crescent kick!
CLANG!
It made contact but there was the metal-like skin that appeared again.
"It seems you made a connection, my skin hardens in response to physical trauma."
Name: Kouji Sugawara
Quirk: Traumatic Steel - The user's skin hardens in response to physical trauma, turning it into a metallic sort. However, this is dependent on the user's battle sense and prep. An unprepared person will be facing delays when facing a certain type of fighter: rapid attackers or surprise attacks.
GASH!
"Ah! Fuck!" yelled Kamikiri as he felt a spear go at his pectoral, clutching at the wound in pain, and clearly saw a steady blood flow. He needed to finish this fight and fast but that wasn't going to happen. Not by a long shot.
A heavy front kick interrupted Kamikiri's thoughts, splaying him over the floor, and he got up, albeit with some effort.
COUGH!
Kamikiri was definitely feeling the after-effects.
COUGH!
He got up on a knee, then responded: "If you think that's enough to take me down, think again, old man!"
"You're at your limit."
A bit of glass was heard cracking with Kamikiri yelling in response: "I decide what my limit is! No one else!"
As the mantis boy was charging towards, blades on his elbows and knees generated, he had a chance to lay some damage on him!
SQUELCH!
"What... the..."
Kamikiri saw what happened: right pectoral and left forearm both pierced like a knife going through butter.
"It seems I might have misjudged," responded the karateka. "Your Quirk is potent, but you're lacking the mindset on how to properly use it."
He pulled those spear-hands out which were covered with blood, all while Kamikiri fell to his knees like a puppet whose strings were just cut.
Kamikiri was still on his knees, then tried rising up...
"I'm... not... done 'til I say so!"
He rushed right at him, but once getting into his range, he was wildly slashing, punching, and sometimes in-between. However, Sugawara was just dodging... almost as if Kamikiri's strikes were slower than a child's.
"Hold..."
SWISH! SWISH!
"...fucking..."
SWISH!
"Still! You..."
SWISH!
SWISH!
"OLD GEEZER!"
THUNK!
Sugawara timed it: as soon as the mantis kid was prepping another slash, a diagonal elbow was sent straight into his face, specifically the mandible.
It was over...
"WINNER BY KO! KOUJI SUGAWARA! GET A STRETCHER FOR KAMIKIRI NOW! NO, SERIOUSLY."
Kamikiri slumped to the floor, one of his mandibles cracked, and medical help was definitely needed.
1-B Section
"Oh... crap. Granddad went a bit too far," said a worried Kendo. Some of 1-B turned their heads around in shock, Monoma was sputtering, trying to think of whatever way that Kamikiri could have won.
"No... there was no way for Kamikiri to even have one advantage against this Sugawara," said Hiryu. "He had enough traits and skills to counteract, if not overpower Kamikiri."
"B-But..."
"Monoma, face facts. If professional fighters are able to kick our asses, mind my language, then what chance do we have against a villain in the streets?"
"I have to agree with Rin, but there is another factor that he neglected to mention: these professional fighters have years of experience under their belts while we barely have any, to begin with," responded a gray-haired girl, but it covered one side of her face, almost fully one might add.
Name: Reiko Yanagi
Quirk: Poltergeist - The user is able to telekinetically control nearby objects. The limit being the average weight of a human being.
"I agree, but... damn. Did that geezer have to go that hard on Kamikiri like that?" said a black-haired boy with a zig-zag pattern headband. "I mean, that Quirk of his along with those spear-hand strikes? Wouldn't be that crossing it a bit?"
Name: Yosetsu Awase
Quirk: Weld - The user is able to mold two objects together at the atomic level, but the catch? It's touch-based.
Infirmary
Shoto was shocked, to say the least, especially on how Sugawara finished the mantis boy.
"That's Sugawara alright, though he could have finished the fight quickly... unless this was his version of an assessment test."
The bi-haired boy stared at him, asking: "W-Wait. You know him?!"
"Uh hehe. Yea. He's Kendo's grandfather, Itsuka Kendo from 1-B to be specific."
"Ok. I am officially a bit terrified of this man. Is he really that deadly?"
"Yes. He was able to beat me and Kendo with little difficulty at all, plus if I had to compare his overall strength level... he would put some of the top Pro Heroes to shame in terms of combat skill alone."
Shoto's eyes widened a bit more, saying: "He... could beat my father then."
He smirked a bit, a bit satisfied that someone can put his father, no, take him down a peg or two.
1-A Section
Mineta was still watching the matches but wondered what was going in the different sections. Some of them screaming "YES!" or "GODAMMIT!", he was curious and walked over to it.
"Well, if no one else will go. I'll do so," said Ojiro, standing up. Some of the other boys in 1-A, such as Kasui and Sero plead with him not to get hurt too badly.
1-B Section
"If no one else will go, I will step up to the challenge," said a brown-furred student with glasses on.
Name: Jurota Shishida
Quirk: Beast - The user's ability to transform into a beast-man with the following benefits: enhanced physical stats and senses. However, he's quite reckless in this form.
Kendo nodded while Pony says good luck in English, Jurota gives a thumbs-up in response.
Announcers' Booth
"Oh... boy. He's next," said Aizawa who was slightly dour.
"Rouga. Fuyushiki. I'm impressed that the kids going up there might leave intact after the match," said Antonius.
"Intact?" responded a worried Mic.
"There were times he crippled his opponents for life, but there was a reason: it turns out some of his opponents were doing some dirty shit on the side."
Both heroes were becoming further worried, Aizawa more so, especially considering that one of his students could be next on the chopping board. At the hands of a lethal martial artist such as Fuyushiki.
Fighters' Section
As Rouga was getting ready for his turn, he was approached by another; she was much shorter than him but had a runner's build, fairly unique cornrow-hair style with some 'lightning streaks' in the hair, and the bottom of her hair curling outwards.
"If you want to join in, I have no issue. This will be a tag team matchup, right?"
"Yup. That and meet my little brother after being away from home for so long," replied the blonde fighter.
"Wait, he goes to UA?"
"Yup. I only hope he got better control over his Quirk. Mine functions a bit differently."
"How so?"
"He emits it while mine is focused on enhancing my physicals, that's the difference."
"Huh, so basically a lightning rod that punches, nice."
Rouga walked further to the entrance while the blonde one follows behind him. Carmilla was watching but did not feel jealous at all, but felt there was something off about the blonde, thinking to herself...
'I swear, I think I have seen her somewhere in a recent MMA match in Thailand.'
"Wait a minute, I just got confirmation that this match will be a tag-team match!"
The audience took this in, conversing how the rules will be altered for this match-up, but some in the 1-C sections were betting it might be a wrestling match instead. As they were talking, the ring was re-shaped with help from Cementoss, complete with turnbuckles at the corners and some steps for the ring.
"WE NOW HAVE OUR FIRST COMPETITORS! HE'S SMART BUT DON'T LET THAT FOOL YOU! HE'S JUST AS BESTIAL! THE WILDMAN OF 1-B, JUROTA SHISHIDAAAA!"
Jurota was walking into the ring with confidence to his step. He turned his eyes to the ring entrance, waiting for his partner.
"THE DEPARTMENT OF NORMAL OF 1-A! BUT DON'T LET THAT FOOL YOU! HE'S ONE OF 1-A'S BEST FIGHTERS, WELCOME THE TAILED PRODIGY, MASHIRAO OJIIIROOOO!"
A yellow-haired boy was walking his way to the ring, but his standout feature was his tail, and to shake some jitters, he took a fighting stance and threw two punches to show that he's ready to throw down.
[One Punch Man Season 2 OST - Garou's Theme - "I'm A Monster"]
"AND HERE HE IS! HE'S KNOWN TO BE A MONSTER OF THE MARTIAL ARTS WORLD! A MAN WHO LEFT HIS OPPONENTS TERRIFIED AT THE END OF EACH ROUND! HE MAKES HIS COMEBACK TODAY! STANDING IN AT 185cm [6'0] AND WEIGHING IN AT 88kg [194lb], THE HELLHOUND FROM THE UNDERGROUND! RYUGA FUYUUUSHIKIII!"
Jurota and Ojiro gulped a bit, he was a large fighter, though his build was a bit slimmer than expected, his cold eyes unnerved them a bit. For the latter, it was staring at a gigantic wall that needs to be climbed. In the eyes of Jurota, the aura he was emitting? It was like that of another predator coming in uninvited.
Rouga exhaled a bit, then got into a stance, showing that's ready.
[Amaranthe - Amaranthe [self-titled album] - "Automatic"]
"AND HIS PARTNER! A RISING STAR IN MMA WITH HER FOUR WINS! STANDING AT 157cm [5'2] AND WEIGHING IN AT 52kg [115lb], FIGHTING OUT OF SAITAMA CITY, WELCOME! THE THUNDER HEART BRAWLER, NARIKO KAMINARI!"
A blonde-haired female with cornrows came out, stretching out her arms, and also waving to the audience. She had an MMA shirt, titled Rebel Dead Behavior.
1-A Section
To say that Kaminari's face was frozen would be an understatement, he was sputtering quite a lot, but Jirou managed to glean a few details.
- Older sister
- Went into MMA after high school
- Mentioned Singapore
"But...B...But...But she-she di-didn't even mention a-bout returning! At All!"
However, that was a topic that would come later.
"I'll go first, Ojiro. It takes a beast to beat another beast."
Ojiro nodded.
Shishida took a normal stance with his paws out while Rouga took an orthodox MMA stance in response.
"AT THE READY...
BEGIN!"
Shishida closed the distance by throwing a punch first...
WHIFF!
Rouga dodged fairly easily by tilting his head to the side, but the beast-kid was going to hit him at some point. He then went for a barrage of jabs and swipes, trying to hit the wolf-fighter.
Shishida's barrage was pointless, he was dodging each strike that was thrown at him, but Rouga interrupted him by throwing a jab into his face, then a straight punch and a few hook strikes into the beast-boy. Shishida was now feeling it, then turned on his Quirk to try turning things around!
"Smart move, kid."
He turned more animalistic, believing his bestial mode can prove to be unpredictable, throwing off the pattern.
SMACK!
Jurota was a bit confused, but he kept at it.
SMACK!
SMACK!
Each strike that Jurota sent out was being deflected! He was using his palms to deflect each strike coming towards him.
SMACK! SMACK!
SMACK!
SMACK!
BOOM!
An elbow strike was sent straight into his gut! He was stunned, gagging, but Rouga wasn't gonna let up!
He was launching multiple strikes into Shishida's center, complete with a few claw-hand strikes at the shoulders, and for the coup de grace?
HEAVENLY WOLF ICE BULLET!
A deadly snap kick was sent into his already hurt body, complete with an obvious dent! On top of that, he was sent careening over the floor.
Shishida was barely able to get up, coughing up a bit, and then returned to his normal form, realizing that his bestial form didn't turn things around. However, he wasn't going to give up.
"I'm not done... not by a long shot!"
AN: Well. My first cliffhanger.
In terms of inspiration, Sugawara's Quirk was inspired by Senator Armstrong's nanomachines-induced durability [get the meme out of your system] from Metal Gear Rising. Why do I get the feeling Kamikiri fans are come after me for breaking their precious boy?
Nariko Kaminari is based on Itsuki Hirata with her name meaning 'thunder'. The epithet was inspired by Hirata's real-life one: Strong Heart Fighter.
Swallow Reversal - A throwing technique you see more in Judo but it's also in Karate. The process: Attacker goes first with a high fist but defender blocks it with a cross-block [Juji Uke]. You go inside, grab the attacker's arm with one hand, and bash the attacker's chin with the back-fist. You pull the attacker's arm down in the form of a V [elbow spot]. The final step being your foot to turn things in a circular motion, spinning around, and then dropping down to one knee. All while twisting the attacker's arm. Its original name is Tsubame Gaeshi [also means 'return'].
Stay tuned for the next chapter!
