Three Quick Matches of Three Strongest Fighter
While Magma is charging at Kinro to finish him off once and for all, Kinro has begun to experience the same shock of joy that Suika felt when she first wore the glasses in her helmet as everything has become crystal clear with his visions.
"(I can see. This is the power of science!)" Kinro thought became amazed as he could see Magma's attack coming.
Thanks to having a clearer vision with the glasses in Suika's helmet, Kinro is able to dodge all of Magma's strikes and not let a single one of them hit him.
"Whoa! Holy crap!" Titan was shocked at what he is seeing right now.
"It's close, but he's dodging each attack!" Ganen was surprised, didn't think that Kinro would be able to suddenly get better in the middle of a battle such as this one.
"Hey! What kinda stunt are you tryin' to pull here?!" Magma was so confused right now. Just a moment ago, he was beating some shit into Kinro that he's the strongest and that he deserves to become leader of the village, but now it looks like Kinro is able to avoid his brutal strikes while he's starting to sweat.
Magma swings his safety weapon trying to get one hit in only for Kinro to stop the attack with just one foot.
"I'm so grateful for science. For Inuyasha, Suika, and Senku!" Kinro expressed his thanks to the three who were able to make this possible for him.
Kinro then goes onto the offense with barrages of fast and hard hits on Magma for a moment and then one final thrust in the face knocking him down.
"Learn this lesson, Magma. If I'd had this gift of science before… had this vision… I would've surpassed you long ago." Kinro pointed out, now truly believing in himself that he is above Magma in combat power.
Everyone in the crowd including the Kingdom of Science team cheered that Kinro was able to knock down Magma more than they expected, seeing this makes them believe he can indeed beat Magma in a fight.
"Can you believe it? Kinro's got Magma on the ground!" Ganen was amazed, shocked that he didn't think the day would come.
"G-Get up, Magma!" Mantle couldn't believe what is happening. He refuses to believe it.
"That was really amazing, Kinro! But when you wear my watermelon mask like that, you look pretty silly." Suika commented with a proud smile.
"Takes one to know one." Inuyasha chuckled.
"Silly or not, Kinro got the upper hand now. He just needs to beat him out of the Grand Bout!" Kagome pointed out with a cheerful smile.
"Hooray! Magma's all worn out! Kinro's definitely gonna win this round for us!" Ginro cheered.
"Woohoo! That means our path to the ultimate victory is completely grantee!" Kaseki smiled.
"That's right, grandpa. The alcohol is going to be ours!" Sango nodded.
"We're definitely gonna get that medicine to Ruri now!" Chrome felt more hope than ever before, he and his friends are definitely going to save Ruri's life.
Magma groans softly in pain from all the blows Kinro threw at him, it looks like he may have underestimated him in this battle. But there is one thing he could try.
"I guess that watermelon mask is your sorcery? That's against the rules, isn't it?" Magma asked.
That got Kinro to stop his thoughts on attacking Magma to think about the rules.
"Possibly. Though it may be after the fact, we'll still have to confirm it's allowed." Kinro wanted to make sure he hasn't broken the rules of the Grand Bout by accepting this gift of science.
"I can't move anymore. Can barely speak. This match is over." Magma admitted that he lost this fight.
"Ask ol' Jasper, the referee." If he says that it's allowed, I'll take my loss to you like a man." Magma allowed Kinro to take a little moment to ask Jasper.
"I can't really hear what they're saying over there, but Magma looks so kind and gentle all of a sudden, doesn't he?" Suika asked, even though she still can't see well without her glasses.
"I don't know, does Magma seem… off with that smile?" Kagome asked, getting a bad feeling of that small smile of Magma's. That there is something hidden behind that smile.
"Referee, it's quite clear that Inuyasha and Suika threw this mask into the ring in order to help me. I knew that, yet I still put it on. Does this nullify my victory? The rules are the rules." Kinro asked, still upholding his code of honor in following the rules of the village and the Grand Bout.
"Come on, man. If it's gonna cost you the win, just keep your damn mouth shut." Chrome deadpanned.
"Kinro has to follow the rules, he just can't help it." Ginro said.
"Ginro is right. Kinro has always been like this ever since we were younger, he always wanted to make sure the people of this village stay safe and live peacefully by upholding the rules." Sango explained.
"Even if that rule is unfair?" Inuyasha asked.
"Oh, I guess you two don't get along much at first." Kagome figured out since knowing Inuyasha doesn't like following rules much unless he has to.
"He's okay, just too strict for his own good." Inuyasha said.
Jasper took a moment to look at the watermelon helmet and thought how Kinro just uses it as a headpiece than using it as a weapon.
"You didn't use the item as a weapon during the match. It's merely an article of clothing. Therefore, I see no issue—"
Kagome gasp upon seeing the smile on Magma's face widen a little more in a sense of darkness.
"Kinro! Look out! It's a trap!" Kagome shouted.
By the time Kinro heard the warning and quickly turn his head around to see Magma coming in for a sneak attack, it was far too late as the attack struck his head that broke through the helmet breaking it into pieces and Kinro is knocked down.
"Shit!" Inuyasha cursed.
"I knew you couldn't let it go without asking for permission. You're too much of a rule lover and do-gooder to just take the win! Right, Kinro?" Magma laughed mockingly at Kinro.
Jasper sighs knowing that despite being a sneaky move of a bad man, it was still within the fight and Magma did win with a finishing blow to the head, meaning there is nothing left to do but end the match.
"Winner: Magma." Jasper announced.
"I should've known better that Magma was up to something! But I was more focused on Kinro winning to felt anything bad from Magma!" Kagome hated herself for not noticing this.
"Don't blame yourself, Kagome. There was nothing you could've done on the sideline." Sango pointed out.
"I really hate that sneaky bastard." Chrome pounded his fist into his hand.
"Kinro!" Ginro cried out as he runs over to his brother who is being carried by Jasper.
"Kinro! Talk to me!" Ginro hoped his brother is alright despite the heavy blow that was dealt onto him.
"I'm sorry." Kinro apologized for letting Magma take advantage of him in that last moment of the fight.
"It's okay, you're alive!" Ginro said with relief.
"Don't worry, leave that guy to me and he'll be singing a different tune of humiliation." Inuyasha promised.
"That's right, we're approaching this as a team. So, as long as somebody beats Magma, we win." Senku stated that the Kingdom of Science could still win this tournament.
"Kinro lost, but it looks like he dealt plenty of damage to him. That's what matters most." Senku looked over to see Magma panting after drinking some water.
"Round two. Mantle and Inuyasha, come forth!" Jasper called out the next pair of fighters.
"That guy is Magma's henchman. I really don't like him, makes me feel all shit from just looking at him." Kagome glared at the short man.
"Bad! I don't think I ever heard you say a curse word before!" Chrome was shocked.
"She only does that when she gets truly angry." Inuyasha explained.
"Inuyasha! You better give that guy a hard lesson he'll never forget as a message to Magma!" Kagome suggested angrily.
"Oh, I intend on doing just that." Inuyasha smirked.
"But first, I could use a little good luck." Inuyasha smiled as he leans closer to Kagome.
She knows what her white-haired boyfriend wants as she giggles and decided to give him that, she goes up and kisses him on the lips as he kisses her back for a few seconds.
"Give him Hell." Kagome said.
Inuyasha nods at his girlfriend and moves at the center of the area where Mantle is shaking in fear of the guy in red, remembering how he threw him like he weighted nothing at such incredible speed.
"(This won't take long.)" Inuyasha thought looked down at the pathetic loser.
"Round two: Mantle versus Inuyasha. Begin." Jasper announced the start of the match.
However, this match would be over the moment it starts as Inuyasha blitzes over to Mantle grabbing him in the face again easily picking him up and then threw him even harder than before going over twice the distance than the first time.
"MAGMAAAAAAAAAAAA?!" Mantle screamed while soaring painfully through the air until he crashes into the forest.
Suddenly the scene freezes, and Mecha Senku appears once again to the readers.
"Mecha Senku for a quite inform I thought you should know. When Inuyasha threw Mantle the first time, it took the bastard about 4 seconds to reach Magma, but this time Inuyasha threw him harder twice the distance and Mantle was flying for exactly 2 seconds! That's shit crazy, Inuyasha got some crazy strength that he could be superhuman!" Mecha Senku was amazed.
Everything resumes back to normal where Inuyasha whistles of how far he threw the guy while everyone is very shocked by the fact that the guy in red just ended the fight very easily.
"H-Hey, what happened to Mantle?" Magma asked, feeling a bit scared.
"I'm afraid he won't be attending to your every need for a while." Kagome said with a mocking smirk.
"Winner: Inuyasha." Jasper announced.
Inuyasha let out a loud howl of his victory in a fight even though it wasn't much of a fight to begin with.
"Wha… Who is that boy? I suddenly feel like I'm in the presence of a powerful beast! No… a demon!" Kokuyo feared of the boy in red.
"A demon… in red." Ruri looked down at Inuyasha.
"Wow, not even wasting a single second. Not bad." Senku commented.
"Thanks, that guy wasn't even a warmup." Inuyasha said.
"As I always knew you would." Kagome smiled.
"Round three, Senku and Kohaku, come forth!" Jasper called out to the next fighters.
"Well, guess we're up next." Kohaku walked over to the center.
"Right, now I have to do the fighting too not that it matters." Senku chuckled.
"You could really try, use your smart to predict Kohaku's first move and see where that gets you." Inuyasha advised before pushing him at the center.
This gave Senku some thinking about what Inuyasha just told him, maybe he could try using his big brain to make himself last longer in the fight against Kohaku, but he still has no intention of winning.
"No hard feelings, this is a tournament." Kohaku smiled.
"I know, just try not to hurt my brain. We still need it for the medicine." Senku reminded her.
But then Senku notices something on the ground close to him and thought of a little plan he could try out.
"Third round: Senku versus Kohaku."
"(Alright, gotta calculate how Kohaku is going to strike me. She'll most likely start off coming at me fast with her speed, the angle of her body, and the fact that she's right-handed.)" Senku thought started calculating how Kohaku is going to attack him.
"Begin!" Jasper announced the start of the match.
"Here I come!" Kohaku ran fast at Senku.
Kohaku swings her right arm to attack him with her safety weapon to knock him down, but Senku was able to defend himself against the attack though he was still knock down and rolling on the ground.
"Shit! That still hurts!" Senku groaned in a little pain.
"H-Hey! Are you trying to kill him or something, Kohaku!" Chrome gasped.
"Looks to me like she's following Inuyasha's example in a battle." Sango noticed this and looks at Inuyasha.
"Yeah, show Senku that you don't hold back for anything!" Inuyasha cheered.
"I don't know if I should be cheering for either Kohaku or Senku, this is conflicting." Kagome said.
"Damn, you're one strong girl. Just like how we first met." Senku commented as he gets back up.
"Yeah, I was stuck under a tree, and you rescued me using the power of science. It was the first time I knew such a thing was possible that could even put strong people like me to shame." Kohaku chuckled.
"Thinking back on that, you were a helpless lioness. A poor kitty who was in way over her head." Senku joked.
"Hey! At least I try to do something!" Kohaku pointed out.
"Oh yeah, being stupid like a lioness without the lion to lead the way." Senku mocked her a little bit.
"Okay, now you're just pushing it. If you want me to give you a beating, then here it comes!" Kohaku charged forward.
"(Now!)" Senku thought pushed his safety weapon forward though it's more on the ground pushing something that Kohaku doesn't seem to notice.
Just as Kohaku was about to land another hit on Senku, her balance suddenly shifts and now she finds herself sliding past Senku much to her confusion until she looks down to see there is something at the bottom of her shoe and its green.
"Wait, is that… a piece of Suika's mask!" Kohaku gasped in realize.
"Yep, you fell right into my trap. I noticed that piece earlier and figured I might as well make Suika help me out this once. All I had to do was get you to come to me and then step on the piece for a little slip and slide, and it's a good thing that it was able to make you slip up." Senku explained.
"Better do something quick before you're out." Senku said.
Kohaku was very surprised that she has been outwitted by the man of science from the ancient past of the world, gotta give him credit for thinking like this though it still pisses her off that he called her a lioness which she claims is not.
"Don't think you can beat me that easily!" Kohaku slammed one of her safety weapons down to stop herself and threw the piece away.
Kohaku turns around and dashes at Senku who was shocked and then gets knocked down by a cross slash in the chest.
"Winner: Kohaku!" Jasper announced as the crowd cheers.
"You really almost had me there. Guess science has ways when it comes to the fighters." Kohaku helped Senku up.
"Nah, all that was just a little advice from Inuyasha." Senku stated.
"But… I definitely never want to do that ever again." Senku exclaimed hard as he fell on his butt.
The scene changes to the fourth match being Ginro vs a guy name Argo vs Sango in a three-way battle.
"Hey Ginro, are you sure you're going to be okay?" Chrome asked.
"No worries, we've already game the Hell out of the Grand Bout to work in our favor. Which means the strongest isn't necessarily gonna win. So, we gotta use everything that we have." Ginro said while starting to chew something in his mouth.
"I'm sure you noticed I've been chewing on something, but did anybody wonder what it is?" Ginro asked.
"Hey, it those leaves for Senku's energy drinks!" Inuyasha realized this with his nose.
"And you've really just kept that in your cheeks like a squirrel this whole time?" Senku asked.
"I was saving it for when my match was gonna start." Ginro explained.
"Yeah, I don't think that's going to help you here." Sango said while stretching her arms.
"Senku is able to do some crazy stuff with his science skills. I learned that lesson when we went to get that dangerous acid. He was making that special power-up drink for us earlier. I bet the raw stuff is even more effective!" Ginro believed.
"What a weirdo." Argo commented on the weird face Ginro is making.
Argo is a man with short, wildly spiked hair, a square jaw and sharp cheekbones. His eyebrows are usually angled downwards in a V-shape and his eyes are similarly slanted inward. He has pronounced lines under his eyes running from his inner eye to mid-cheek. His ears are slightly pointed, matching the angularity of the rest of him. He is slightly taller than Ginro and is shown to have three parallel scars across his chest. He wears no shirt and a pair of forest-green cut-off pants. The top flops out several inches over the rope belt he wears. He is also wearing gloves.
"You idiot! You're just going to end up getting the runs, man!" Chrome pointed out.
"Hush. At this point, he's better off not knowing." Senku hushed Chrome from telling him that.
"Yeah, he's toast." Inuyasha said.
"Match, begin!" Jasper announced.
Ginro didn't waste any time as he goes in to attack Sango first, but the young woman reacted faster as she dodge his attack and struck his head then his foot to flip him in the air to kick him into Argo then she goes for a power tackle to push both of them toward the edge and knock them down into the water.
"Winner: Sango."
"So much for Ginro thinking he's gotten stronger." Kinro sighed. He just recovered enough to see his brother's match.
"It was his first time tasting caffeine, so it's to be expected he would be so delusional." Senku chuckled.
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
Kinro was so close to beating Magma in the first match only for his weakness of obeying the rules to be used against him, but the other three matches awesome even though they ended quick because of how strong these fighters are as they're moving to the semifinal.
KO comment, favorite, and follow through of how this story will go!
