Astral creation

John X Fu hao

What were you guys doing? Mister tzimiske took me to so many cool places. The food here is top class, it was so fun. Specially that chief was so full of humor.

Kosei: Oh yeah? Here we almost got beaten by some low level thugs. Good to hear that yume, where is he right now?

Kiyo yume: He told me to stay here for now, he has gone to somewhere else. Oh my, you guys look messy.

Hayashi:: Hey kiyo, we got into some trouble. Some random thugs ran into us. Let us take some rest and then we will go somewhere to hang out. What do you say kosei?

Kosei: Yeah, that sounds great hayashi. I heard there's a library in this hotel, why don't you go there and spend some time until we come back, yume? You might be able to find some rare books from ancient time.

Kiyo yume: Oh there is a library? I hope there is some English good novels there. Or else I will just have to read online novel, i heard author tanveer has published a new novel called “The school of death".

Kosei: He really did? Wow, that's great. Okay, We will be back.

An hour later-

Kosei: Ey kiyo, we are back. What are you doing, huh reading online novel from dreame? Didn't you find good books on the library?

Yume: Wait I am on the good part, protagonist walid is finally gonna expose the main culprit to the police….ahhh there is no new episode. I have to wait few more days! Maybe that will be the last chapter, can't wait for it to air.

Kosei: Your really love reading, maybe even more than me.

Hayashi: Hey kiyo, I brought a map for this entire city. Tell us which places you have already visited, we will skip that one. It won't be fun to visit them again for you, we can sacrifice a bit for you. We should do it before master tzimiske finds us. He won't like us hanging around, wonder where he is though.

Kiyo yume: You are so nice Hayashi, let me mark those areas down.

Meanwhile kosei is getting annoyed by how hayashi was acting with kiyo yume.

Hayashi already has a girlfriend, why is he trying to hit on her? This is so annoying.

Kosei: Hey Hayashi, give me the map. I am more used to this kind of stuff, I will lead you two. I am an expert ya know.

Hayashi: Huh? Okay fine, here.

Let's walk together kiyo, kosei will lead us from in front of us.

Ahhhhhhh, Hayashi you i***t. I thought it would work, but he is using it against me. (Kosei in his mind)

Kiyo yume: No Hayashi, we are walking together. Kosei is not a tour guide, we are friends. Hey kosei, you don't have to act like that. This place is very modern, there are many people to help us around.

Okay, give me the map.

I can we should visit this Castle area, which is in that direction.

The three goes to a ancient rebuild castle-

Kosei: Woah, this Castle is huge. It feels like I am inside a movie. I can't believe I am inside a legit castle, not some Disney land. The place looks like it has a dragon to protect it.

The three gets amazed by how beautiful the castle is and how big it is. It is the first time any of them have entered inside a legit castle as big as this. This castle over shadows every monument of the city. People like kosei and his friends have access to only a small portion of the castle. The remaining is used as a main headquarters of the city.

Hayashi: Heeeey kosei, come here. Look at this thing… isn't it badass? Yooo

Kosei: No no, are we allowed to touch it? I don't think we should.

Some random guard gets mad at them for how they were behaving and shouts at them by saying, “Hey kids, don't touch them."

Kosei: See hayashi…haha. You always put us in danger.

Oh wait, where's yume? We got so lost that we forgot to look after her.

Hayashi: Huh, kiyo? When did she get lost? She might have gone upstairs. We should go too.

Upon going upstairs, hayashi and kosei sees a random dude trying to flirt on kiyo yume.

Hayashi: Hey, who are you? What are you trying to do, huh?

?: Oh, hello guys. I am ashik, I was just trying to become friends with her, did I bother you guys? I don't think I did, you guys shouldn't be so aggressive. I thought Japanese people were calm, what's wrong with the creator...i mean your parents.

Kosei: Okay, that is fine.

Hayashi: No it's not fine, look at her. Kiyo looks so uncomfortable while talking with you, get away bro. Don't expect all Japanese to be the same, you racist.

Kosei: Hey hayashi, that's very rude way of talking. Maybe we should let him talk or let kiyo decide.

Kiyo yume: Umm.. He is right. No need to argue with each other and cause trouble. Hey mister, Can you please let us explore the area and just go? I just don't like being approached so suddenly.

Meanwhile at a office:

The leaders of the round table and called up a meeting with one another.

Marduk: So everyone has arrived, but only 5 of us have sent our Rockies.

What is wrong you guys, why haven't you send anyone? Look at John, even he is back after all those years. Who could have expected him to return? Haha, after that beating he got.

Frankenstein: Listen marduk, you already know why. Why do you have to ask?

I am the head technical engineer and so more. I don't have time to train people for such silly competitions. I just came here to enjoy the competition and handle everything. If I did sent my student to participate, the entire system would have been so hard to maintain by others without me.

Frankenstein: What about you Princess kaguya? You don't seem to be busy, you could have participated. The lords of the table joining brings a whole new level of entertainment. Shouldn't you have participated?

Princess kaguya: Frankenstein, you are the one asking?

Well I won't even be able to enjoy the competition. Lord bishomon had a bad time, I am a bit busy with him. I didn't wanted to miss the meeting, that's why I came here to see the opening ceremony at least. You know how bad things are in the higher dimension, regarding the mars. Lord bishomon wanted a very important and in there, but lord Azazel is not willing to give it. Don't know why they want that part so bad. The things are going really bad nowadays.

Marduk: yeah, don't know why they want that land. There are countless planets to have, but they gotta fight for that small land. Whatever, we are not allowed to discuss it that much.

Marduk: So we 5 will be competing, it's good to see you after all these years John. So you have finally decided to train more people, what made you decide it? I thought you would never return, considering how emotional you are.

John tzimiske: Shut up marduk, I find your voice very annoying. My students are the best of the best, I heard that Santiago kid has trained under you. I can't wait to see him getting beaten up by hayashi. Both of my boys are prodigies, put that into your brain. This is the only reason I decided to participate in the tournament. Both of them will get into the top 5.

Tomyris: Arrogant as always, John tzimiske. Your arrogance will make you so embarrassed after your students get eliminated in round one. The way you talk is so annoying, no wonder why you still don't have a wife.

John tzimiske: Huh, you tomyris? Out of all the people including marduk, you are trying to diss me? My students will fall just like you did against me? Ohoho, thanks for reminding me.

Hanuman: Hey John, I think your students are good. I have seen and heard what they are capable of doing. I heard what happened in the hidden village of mushashi, they trained under him too. How ironic, both of you guys gave me so much trouble.

They are great but don't you think they need more experience before competing in here? They might get permanent injuries. If I were you, I would have waited for the next tournament, it would have been perfect. These two would have come out as beasts.

John tzimiske: Thanks for that, Hanuman.

I don't think like that, I don't think they need more experience. The two people I have brought are prodigy.

You all will know just what they are capable of doing. They have fought A rank eternal before, they have also trained under Miyamoto mushashi. One of my student is very skilled at using swords, a Japanese one. You all should look out for him, he's also a beast at close range battle.

Fu hao: A swords man? My student used to be a master class swordsman before he became an eternal. His name is tihsan, I found him at a hidden village in south china… You sure your student can beat mine? It would be interesting seeing Japanese swordsman going up against Chinese swordsman. But, your students gonna get beaten before he gets to do anything.

John tzimiske: Didn't expect you to talk, huh.Wanna make a bet, Fu hao?

Fu hao: What is it, John?

John tzimiske: If one of my student beats tahsan or what ever the name was, then you will go on a date with me. If my student loses, then you will receive that legendary dagger which you want so badly. How about that, a win-win for of us. I still have that dagger stored in a very good place, far beyond your reach.

Frankenstein : Hehe he, you still have a crush on her. I find it fascinating. Even beings like us are just like the others. Am I the only one who doesn't have any interest in such things?

Marduk: Hey franky, you did have a crush once. The rejection is still hunting you, so stop acting cool. We all know about your backstory.

Tomyris: All you mens can think about is making a women your own, pathetic.

Marduk: Sheesh, you are nothing like me John. I do have interest in women, but not at this level.

Princess kaguya: Sorry sister fu hao for saying this, You two would look perfect together, I hope you win this bet John.

John tzimiske: Ah thank you Princess kaguya. You are one of the only S-rank eternal is actually like.

So will you stay quite or just give me a reply?

Fu hao: You should stop being obsessed with me, gosh. Why do you have a crush on me? I don't have any famine quality. I accept this bet, I have no doubts on my boy tihsan. He will annihilate your student and you will be forced to give that dagger back to me. Find someone else right now, or you will stay single forever.

John tzimiske: Haha, we will see. Now we shall talk about the important stuff, go on Frankenstein. We have wasted too much time talking about crap.

Frankenstein: Ahem ahem, finally we got to the good parts. I shall explain you all the details, first let me introduce you to this guy.

Come on in, karna.

Karna: Hello the leaders of the round table, my name is karna. I am the one who's making all the details. Let me and master Frankenstein give you all the details.

The meeting between the leaders starts-

Hayashi: Hey kosei, wanna spare with each other?

Kosei: No, I am meditating right now.

Hayashi: Get up you dummy, we should spare. You are terrible at close range fight, you should learn how to fight properly. I used to save your ass all the time when those 2 twin boys used to bully you. You were always bad at fighting. If you rely on your energy blasts too much, you will get in trouble. There will be different kinds of kinds of fighters with different fighting style. So you need to upgrade yourself before then.

Kosei: Umm, okay. What kind of spare?

Hayashi: We won't use any energy blasts, just hand-to hand combat. I will create a circle around us, whoever throws the other person out wins. Alright? Oh wait, don't need to draw a circle. I can see a wrestling ground on the other side.

Kosei: Okay, sounds fine. Let's do it.

Kiyo yume: Hey hayashi, let me be the referee. I am very good at it.

Hayashi: Thank you , kiyo.

Ready, set, gooooo!

Kosei have already learned a few fighting moves from John, so he wasn't planning to lose against hayashi.

Hayashi is skilled at using jayid (energy) through his body parts, which kosei wasn't as much good at.

Kosei plans of knocking hayashi out with a dirty move, an elbow to the back.

Any elbow strike can do some damage.

There's the low-to-high that strikes an enemy beneath the chin, the horizontal that smashes into a soft spot of the body or face, and then there's striking an enemy in the base of the skull with an elbow strike.

It requires that the target is doubled over to work well, so this is a great way to finish the fight after a Long Knee or a solid strike to the stomach or groin.

Kosei tries using the move and hayashi seems to have already anticipated it. Hayashi grabs the pants of kosei and slams him on the ground. It happened so fast that kosei couldn't even react.

Hayashi then starts punching kosei to the face, without holding back.

“You are gonna keep getting hit or you are planning to do something?".

Kosei tries removing hayashi, who is sitting in front of him and is punching him.

The attempt keeps failing, hayashi is hard to remove.

Kosei finally remembers the defensive side John taught him. Kosei grabs the rears of hayashis t shirt and pulls him towards him and gives him a head smash.

Kosei finally removes hayashi from him and strikes hayashi from behind. Kosei kicks the neck of hayashi, which makes hayashi fall on the ground.

Kosei jumps at hayashi with a kick and hayashi dodges it.

Hayashi gets up and punches in the throat of kosei!

Arghhh…whaahth is that?

Heeey, stop you two.

Kiyo yume: Hey kosei, are you alright?

What have you done Hayashi, he can't even talk! Heeeeeey, he needs medics.

Kosei was taken to the hospital to get treatment. A few hours later -

Kosei: What were you thinking? Do you want to kill me?

Hayashi: Sorry kosei, I didn't knew your defense was that weak. I used the same move against some other dude this morning, he did take some damage but it wasn't as effective as it is against you.

Gosh, I felt like I was about to die.

Hayashi: It's your fault, all those months you have only mastered your long range offensive side. You couldn't even take hits like that, you stand no chance against many opponents.

Kosei: What should I do now, s**t s**t s**t.

Hayashi: Learn how to take hits, make your body strong. Most importantly, you have to become faster.

Kosei: Master isn't here, can you please spar with me more?

Hayashi: No, I have to train myself. I spared this time to see how strong you were, I wanted to warn you. You have become arrogant.

Kosei: Come on bro… please?

Hayashi: Here, take this book. It might help you with something. How ironic, me giving you a book to read. Haha, guess your reading career couldn't help you out.

Kosei: What is this?…. Dude seriously, a manga? Am I supposed to learn fighting from this manga?

Hayashi: Haha, I thought you love reading manga. I should get some rest and start training. I am going to that jungle arena to train myself. I am sorry, the first round will be held the day after tomorrow. I have to master few skills too, take care. Oh yeah, this manga is really good. Copy paste the move, hehe.

Kosei: Wow, my friend literally left me behind. Not only her left me, hayashi literally trolled me. Whatever, I will train myself. I have watched so many kung Fu movies, I can do this.

Kosei tells kiyo to do her own things and leaves for the arena, hoping to make himself better by training.

Aiiiiyaaaah!

?: Look at that moron, he's shouting like an i***t.

?: You have guts looking away from your opponent during the fight.

?: Oh yea?

Smash! Smash! Smah!

?: How about that? I hate big talk.

?: Aghh, you are so strong. What is your name? Who is your master?

Kaveh: My name is kaveh, I serve master diocese.

I had fun but I expected more from you. I feel bad for the people like you, after training for so long. You stand no chance at this competition.

The people like Krishna and tihsan are the top dogs here, you will get annihilated.. Good bye fellow.

A fighter named kaveh was sparing with others, and sees kosei training like a nerd.

Kosei: Aiyaaaah!

Kaveh: He is still doing that, he's the dumbest competitor of this year. That other guy seemed to be strong, I shall be challenging him to a duel.
