Chapter 18: Ichiro's Turn

(Commentators Booth)

''Most of the fights have been already started and some finished. Now let's look at the Arena Nr.11, where a young man who was second fastest in time attack event is going to do his first fight in the tournament.'' Commentator A said while the screen started showing Ichiro's fight.

''We are already aware of his attack strength, but now we need to see his fighting prowess.'' Commentator B said to the viewers at home.

''We got our information of fighters and it seems that Ichiro still hasn't taken his ranking test, which is very unusual, which means he is an unranked fighter! His strength is a complete mystery.'' Commentator A said with a small shock.

''Indeed strange, but Ichiro's opponent is a new Martial Leader fighter who did his ranking test 1 month ago, so his strength should be around Low Martial Leader ranker.'' Commentator B said while flipping through the papers in his hands.

''Match is about to start and we might see our first team get eliminated in Round of 128 if Ichiro manages to win this bout.'' Commentator A said and concentrated on the screen with his co-caster.

…

(In the Stadium)

''Second Round of Match Nr11! Kurogami Ichiro Vs. Seth Mongoram!'' the referee announced loudly which received few cheers from the audience.

''Are you ready?!''

''''Yes!'''' Ichiro and Seth said at same time.

Ichiro was looking at Seth with a small smile on his handsome and youthful face.

Ichiro was wearing his school outfit colors, with white pants and a shirt which was half blue and half white with black stripes on the sides of the shirt and pants.

Ichiro haircut was currently slightly messy, but it gave him a different kind of charm with his black eyes, making everyone who looked at them go into trance and his youthful face before he reincarnated, turned as more mature and his fighting uniform can't hide Ichiro's figure, filled with some muscles.

Not as muscular as Lucas, but still properly maintained muscles and his body didn't look out of place but instead looked like a perfect fighters body.

While Seth was concentrating with all his being.

He saw how easily Ichiro pierced the puppet in the time attack, so he knew that he can't lose his concentration even for a moment.

He got chills just thinking about getting hit by that spear-like arm.

Seth was a young man in his 15s, he had brown hair with small hair cut with shaved sides, his uniform consisted of green pants and a shirt, but with white lines on the sides, it was a color combination of his middle school in Westland. Seth had a face with brown eyes and a youthful face with a small amount of baby fat left, but he still looked attractive to many and his slightly tan skin gave him a very exotic look.

''Fight!'' the Referee announced and was supervising the fight very closely, he knows the strength of Ichiro's strike and even he got chills from seeing Ichiro's strike in time attack and he is Peak of Martial Leader!

Seth rushed toward Ichiro with careful steps. He got closer and closer until he was only 5 meters away from Ichiro, but Ichiro still looked calmly in front of him.

*Step*

Seth kept going ahead with small steps, until…

Seth reached only 2 meters away from Ichiro.

*Bam!*

''?!'' Seth widened his eyes and felt incredible pain on his shinbone, he took quick glance towards his leg and saw a huge area around his shinbone being completely red, almost forming a bruise!

He looked ahead at Ichiro who still had his small smile and then looked at his right leg who was slightly in the air from the ground and his leg was slightly smoking around his toes.

'How… I couldn't see his kick!' Seth thought to himself in panic.

*Whish*

Seth quickly put his remaining strength on his right leg which was still unharmed and ran quickly backward, getting away from Ichiro, making the distance about 20 meters.

''I guess my turn?'' Ichiro asked confusingly and started walking toward Seth slowly.

Ichiro was only 10 meters away from Seth and he started feeling incredible pressure from Ichiro and started taking small steps backward.

'Fuck! I can't win like this!' Seth thought to himself and reached to the conclusion. 'I need to go to the offensive! I will never win like this. I will use my speed instead if a slow approach won't help!' Seth finished his thoughts and looked at Ichiro who was slowly approaching him.

Seth saw that Ichiro was only 5 meters away from him, decided to use his speed to his advantage.

''Oh,'' Ichiro exclaimed seeing that Seth decided to approach him.

Seth rushed toward Ichiro and was instantly in attacking distance.

Seth raised his leg up and did a quick sidekick towards Ichiro, but Ichiro quickly took his arm to his side, easily blocking it, but Seth wasn't done and after putting his leg back to the ground, he twisted his waist and clenched his muscles in his left arm and did straight punch which made the wind blew around the fist.

''…'' Ichiro looked in silence at the approaching fist and quickly put his right arm as a block.

*Bam* Fist hit the block, which made Ichiro slightly surprised because he had to fix his posture after he had to take a step backward.

Seth's strength is no joke.

''HAAAA!'' Seth roared and pulled his fist backward and twisted again his waist preparing to punch with his right arm, but Ichiro already prepared for it and put his leg forward, kicking towards Seth's torso which pushed Seth backward.

''Not bad!'' Ichiro roared and took a step forwards, but that one step was enough to reach attacking distance.

Seth fixed his posture and was preparing with his hands raised in front of him while he slightly leaned forwards.

Ichiro took a boxing stance and started to slightly jump in his spot.

*Smack* *Smack* *Smack*

*Whish*

Ichiro rained Seth with quick jabs, making Seth's face turn slightly grimmer and his arms which he used as a block, were getting filled with bruises.

''PHEWWW'' Seth took a deep breath and took a quick side-step towards left, dodging the rest of Ichiro's jab; Ichiro slightly widened his eyes, but Seth was already approaching Ichiro and he bend his legs and did hook punch aiming at Ichiro's torso.

''!'' Ichiro widened his eyes more and quickly took his right arm to quickly block the fist.

*Bam* Ichiro managed to reach his right arm as a block, but it could barely be called a block.

''…!'' Ichiro's posture was a mess after he got pushed back a few meters and Ichiro quickly looked ahead of him and saw Seth rushing with a slight grin, with his arms guarding his torso.

'Time to go slightly serious I guess.' Ichiro thought to himself and was preparing for Seth to make his moves.

Seth arrived at the attacking distance with a small grin, because he saw his winning chances are quite high at this moment.

Seth clenched his muscles making his right arm's veins grow in size and twisted his waist to unleash a powerful straight punch!

*Whish*

Seth unleashed his straight punch which aimed at Ichiro's jaw, but before it reached its destination. Seth widened his eyes to see his fist miss the target!

[Iron Style: Ironic Edge!]

Ichiro used his Ironic Edge for the first time in this match and seeing Seth losing his concentration after seeing his fist miss, he decided to grab Seth's arm!

''Damn!'' Seth cursed.

The next thing he saw, was him flying through the air.

*Bam*

Seth got thrown in the air by Ichiro, he fell down to the hard ground of the arena, which made Seth grim in pain.

Seth quickly put his hands on the ground to pull himself back up and after managing to pull himself up until he was sitting on his butt on the ground, he saw a huge shadow behind him.

Seth looked behind him and saw Ichiro standing there looking like a huge mountain.

''Argh!'' Seth clenched his teeth and quickly put his strength in the arms which was still at the ground to propel himself up.

*Bam!*

But before Seth could properly stand straight, he got hit by a single punch which made a few of his teeth fly out of his mouth, while his nose started bleeding.

Ichiro looked with an indifferent gaze and decided to stop playing around.

He rushed towards Seth who was still confused about what was happening.

Seth's vision started turning blurry, with a buzzing noise coming out of his ears.

Ichiro rushed towards Seth and seeing him quickly put clumsily putting arms as a block in front of his head, decided to elbow his torso instead!

*Bam!*

''URGH!'' Seth grimaced in pain.

Ichiro hit Seth with his elbow to his torso and he decided to end this now.

Ichiro's elbow was still in contact with his torso, but Ichiro decided to do a quick backhand hit towards Seth's face!

Which successfully contacted and made Seth's face even more bloody.

Ichiro stood up with his two legs and pulled his right arm back and clenched his fist, which in a result made his muscles even more visible on his right arm.

*Whish!*

Ichiro twisted his waist and punched with his right arm towards Seth and only *Bam!* Was heard until people saw Ichiro's fist contacting with Seth's face and Seth's eyes turning as white, signaling that he was knocked out.

*Phew*

Ichiro took a deep breath and saw that Seth fell on the ground on his back while still having the same blood trails coming from his lips and nose and his exotic look, now looked kind of tragic while his white teeth, were now missing few teeth, making it look quite sad.

''Match over! Winner Kurogami Ichiro! Winner Middle School of Irio!'' The referee announced loudly and signaled towards the medical team to take Seth.

*Cheer!*

Cheers resounded in the arena and Ichiro looked at the big screen on top of the arena and saw that they showed an entire fight on the biggest screen of the arena.
