Kosei Vs hayashi

Krishna and kosei have still been training with different methods, one after another.

Kosei: What is this?

Krishna: That device will be aiming at us and throw balls. Total 100 balls will be sent.

Let's see who gets to dodge as much ball as possible. If you win, I will give you a special gift.

Kosei: Then I won't be losing this time, Krishna!

Krishna tells the trainer to start the machine and balls start to come out of it. Kosei is having a hard time keeping up with the balls.

Kosei: Those balls are so fast, I can't see through them…. No, I just have to focus more. s**t few hit me. Ow man, it kinda hurts.

Kosei starts to get more hit from the balls but he does not give up, instead tries his best to focus on them.

Kosei: That ball is approaching me, why is that so slow? I can totally see it coming at me in slow motion.

Did the ball got slowed down? No, I have gotten faster. Yes yes.

Kosei have gotten faster than before, he could see through the balls and were able to dodge many of them.

Krishna: 100 balls have ran out, great job kosei. You did better than I expected. You dodge 65 balls and only 35 were able to hit you.

Now this is my time! Watch and learn kosei, you have a lot to improve.

Krishna stands still and starts dodging every single ball coming at him. When kosei was doing it, he looked frustrated and uncomfortable. But Krishna seems to be doing it while being as calm as possible.

Kosei: Ahhhhh, you dodge 99 balls and only 1 were able to hit you. You are so much better than me. The way you were being calm and dodging them was something else, that's amazing.

Krishna: Ah come on, there's nothing amazing about this. I messed up and list my momentum. Only 1 ball were able to hit me? I should have been able to dodge every single one of them. Master will get upset over this. It has been a while since I have been hit with a ball like this.

Kosei: Come on bro, you did great dodging 99 out of 100. Why would your master get upset?

Krishna: No, that 1 means a lot. Even one hit can make you lose the match, so it does mean a lot.

Kosei: Come to think of it, That's true. Hey let's keep doing this.

Krishna: Yeah, let's not waste any time. The more we train, the better we get.

The two continues doing what they were doing, training.

Krishna: Look at you kosei, you are sweating so much. You should stop if you feel like it.

Kosei: Haha, you are sweating too.

Krishna:Training went great, we still have one more day to train and that is tomorrow.

Hey Krishna, thank you for today. I should get going and meet up with hayashi to see what he has been doing.

Krishna: Okay, goodbye. I am not planning to stop now, gonna train for 1-2 hours more.

You are insane bro, I am on my limits so I am gonna go. Take care.

Kosei leaves, saying goodbye to Krishna.

Hayashi: Hey kosei, where were you? Look I invented a new move with my sword.

Kosei: Really? What is it?

Hayashi: It's called “Shining strike", let me demonstrate it to you. Let's go somewhere else.

The two goes to the training ground, for hayashi to demonstrate his new move.

Hayashi: Okay, I will be cutting that boulder off with a single strike. Yeah my last attack could do that too, but this one will be a bit different. You will see the difference.

Hayashi stands still like a samurai and starts focusing.

Hayashi jumps high and suddenly the eyes of kosei gets filled with light.

“What is this light?" Kosei asked to himself.

After the light vanishes,

Kosei looks at the boulder and notices it has been cut in two pieces. Hayashi can be seen standing in front of the destroyed boulder.

Kosei: Holy s**t bro, what just happened? I couldn't see anything because of that flash.

Hayashi: See? Wasn't it cool? This is my new attack, it takes a lot of energy to make. I can only make 2 moves in a single day, it drains me out.

Kosei: How does it work? it looked more powerful than your last attack, but I doubt it is.

Hayashi: You are right, it is not the strongest sword attack of mine. I basically absorb the power of the sun and create a flash through the sword and attack my opponent. If it is night, like right now. I absorb the power of the moon and use it. This move is more powerful during the day and takes less time to produce it. It took me some time to think of the attack, I wanted to use a attack which can blind my opponent for while. Close range fighters like me needs attack like this.

Kosei: That's why it is called “shining strike"? That's so cool. I hope I don't get to face you in the next round, that attack is so dangerous. I have been improving my speed, by training with Krishna. It is working a lot.

Hayashi: Nah, it is not that dangerous.

There are participants who can easily counter my move or even use it against me. I need to train more and master every single move I know. I saw a lot of dangerous people in round 1. I hate to say it, we are no match for them. I have checked the list of every qualified players and have gathered some information about them. I was actually studying about every single players who have qualified to the next round. Of course kiyo helped me do it. I wanted to take you out with me, but you were being lazy as always.

Kosei: So that's what you guys were doing. Haha, here I was thinking of something else.

Hayashi: Huh, did you think I was trying to steal your girl? Haha bro, I won't do that. I have a hot girl waiting for me back in the town, besides kiyo is not my type. Now let's talk about something important and listen to me very carefully. I don't want you to get in trouble. The way you are right now, you barely stand any chance against those monsters.

There are 7 people we need to worry the most.

First being Krishna himself, he's extremely powerful. He is very fast and has different kinds of moveset. I know that you two have gotten close to one another, but you need to see him as your enemy, not friend.

Second, tihsan.

This tihsan guy is trained by someone called fu hao, I heard she is as strong and experienced as our master. No, most of the people believe her to be more experienced because of her age. This tihsan guy was trained to become a elite assassin.

He also uses a sword, a bit different to mine. You have already seen him. He is a silent killer, someone who doesn't talk much. So you will have to try your best to finish him as fast as you can, before he finishes you off. The shounen power of friendship and talk no jutsu doesn't work on this guy.

Third, antonio.

He may teamup with someone else to defeat us, but he is as strong as Krishna himself.

I heard Antonio once beat 5 average B rank by himself. He has mastered traditional indian wrestling and his physical power is just…. It is said that he once caught a sword used by an B rank with his bare hand. Yes, he used only one hand to caught it.

Fourth, Ulrek.

This guy can literally summon monsters and control them. Few of his monsters are B ranked. Fighting him would be like fighting more than 1 B ranked eternal. You will have to destroy his monsters ass fast as you can, before he summons a new one.

Fifth, Feraun.

I have very little information about him. I heard he almost beat ulrek with his shadow ability. This guy is very smart and we should not underestimate him.

Though I added him to the list only for you. Lucky me, his main weakness is sun light and I can absorb sun light and use it against my opponent.

I don't know how you are going to beat him, you better pray to God.

Sixth, Santiago.

Again, I don't have much information about him. He is the student of someone called marduk. This marduk guy is the right hand man of Azazel, who is the leader of angels. Santiago should be pretty strong and dangerous. Some guy said he saw Santiago hitting Antonio, and Antonio did the same. So I think this guy is close to Krishna in terms of strength.

Seventh, that shitty kaveh.

He did beat me on a wrestling match, so I can not ignore him and make a list. Yeah sure he only beat me in a wrestling match, but still. He might have various other kinds of moveset.

These are the most dangerous people we have to look up for the most. I am not saying others are weak or anything. Other participants like rahamat and sunny are very dangerous too. Let's just do our best and try to get out of it being victorious.

Kosei: When have you been so smart? You have changed so much, hayashi. It feels like yesterday when you were getting fooled by saidy pandrit, haha.

Hayashi: Did I? I don't know, I feel like I have a responsibility because I have such great powers. I had to change ya know, we are not those Japanese kids anymore. We have to change in order to win.

Kosei: Wow, you throw those dialogues too. Do you think I have changed?

Hayashi: Not at all, you i***t. You have always been shy and lazy. You haven't changed at all. Gosh.

Aaaaaa (Kosei puts on a disappointed face).

Hayashi: Chill, it's good that you haven't changed. Unlike me, you have always been a good person and that's what really matters. When we got our powers, I was afraid that you will change. Power manipulates people into being someone he is not.

Kosei: I really love your new personality bro, let's train our ass off and beat those guys. I wonder what soske is thinking right now, he doesn't have enough experience to do good in the tournament.

Hayashi: Truth hurts, but you are right. Whatever, we don't have time for this. Soske can do better in the next time. For now, we will have to focus on ourselves. So Yeah, let's do it.

Hey kosei, you should be worried about people with weapons. I think you are pretty good at hand-to-hand combat but when it comes down to defence against weapons such as swords and stuff. You are horrible.

The only thing that can save you from getting cut is your shields. But you can only hold your enemy off with shields and to beat it, you need to have offensive move too.

Opponents with weapons will try to fight in close range, so your long rang attacks won't help you much. So what I am saying is that, you need to be able to counter swords without relying on your shields.

Kosei: How about I fight you and test myself?

Hayashi: That's what I was gonna say. Besides I need experience too, so let's do it. I will obviously hold back and use my sword. You are forbidden from using powerful long rang attacks too. Let's do it!

The two goes to a different training ground.

Hayashi: This training ground is perfect.

Hayashi draws out his sword and both creates a small gap between them.

“Okay, I just need to dodge his sword strike and punch him" kosei says to himself.

Hayashi starts approaching kosei, while holding his sword.

Flash

Hayashi has launched an attack on kosei and kosei has jumped 2 steps backward and have successfully dodge it.

“Not bad, but try this" says hayashi.

Hayashi jumps at kosei and kosei gets afraid but he's able to dodge it as well. Hayashi was able to cut a few hairs of kosei.

It continues like this for some time and hayashi finally corners kosei.

Hayashi tries stabbing kosei and kosei makes the sword hit the wall but jumping out of it.

Sword gets stuck into the wall and kosei punches hayashi through his stomach.

Hayashi coughs out blood and puts on a smile.

Kosei suddenly falls on the ground and sees blood everywhere.

Take this lesson I learned from master Miyamoto mushashi. Never feel safe while your enemy is still breathing.

“How?" Kosei asked.

It is called “Duel shadow sword" a new technique master John have teach me. I wanted it to be a surprise for you. You know why? Because surprise attacks will be common. You should prepare yourself well before entering the arena. I hope you have learned something, kosei.

Hayashi has stabbed kosei into the legs, it's nothing dangerous. Training ground manager takes kosei to the hospital for treatment.
