184 Beaten Badly (1/2)

Time passed by quickly and they swiftly decided on the spot they were going to build their restaurant. It was decided that it'll be right next to Kawata Shozo's Japanese restaurant; not only for the viable service due to how crowded the two restaurants next to the plot of land were but also because Kawata's restaurant provides great protection for whenever they can't provide it themselves.

Flynn and Chloe were currently in an office alongside Christina and Chris, both working heavily on the design for maximum efficiency and comfort while keeping the required materials at a minimum. Chloe didn't have many ideas to help, she wasn't a construction specialist, she was just there to add a layer of protection for Flynn.

Granted, like all of them, Flynn has successfully passed the strength test in the temple through the use of gravity stones. Allowing him to get a boost in strength without the need to train for it. Currently, his strength reached close to 80, due to the strength berry he ate a while back as well.

As for the rest of the group. They were currently on the island, showing Kawata around the place and where the main dormitory will be. He provided valuable information on how the academy could be set up; similarly to the city, they have sections for certain activities.

Obviously, the training activities will be elsewhere on the already cleared out training fields. However, he discussed the importance of also having sports activities as well. Such as soccer and even tennis since they allow the students to acquire faster reflexes through constant practice.

Then, somewhere near the middle of the sports activities, training fields, and dormitory. There will be a small food district, with his restaurant as well as Elena and Pedro's restaurant stationed there. They were also thinking of adding student food stalls. Since adventuring into the harsh wild could leave one stranded away from civilisation for days, possibly even weeks, it wasn't a bad idea for the students to learn how to cook beast meat.

They weren't going to provide any classes with the help, rather, they would want the students to learn from mistakes. That way, it's ingrained into their minds, what to do and what not to do. That way, even if they're adventuring with strangers without experience, they'll also be able to teach them a few helpful tips on how to survive.

Currently, the group was showcasing the rather plain training fields. Currently, it was just a patch of a flat open field. Lachlan had already evened out the field, fixing any of the ruptures from pulling the trees out of the group while allowing for some grass to grow.

”This is where the training facility is going to be?” Kawata questioned with a raised eyebrow. There was currently nothing there, so it came as to no surprise to the group that he wasn't very impressed. However, his next few words left them shocked. ”This is wonderful!”

”But there's nothing there,” Simon said with an odd expression. He couldn't understand Kawata's excitement over a normal patch of open ground. If there was a wooden floor maybe, but there was nothing there at all. Aside from a few longer pieces of grass, nothing stood out at all.

”Indeed, however, since there's nothing there that leaves so much room to create a wonderful training area,” Kawata explained with a bright joyful smile. ”We could even create multiple training facilities for each level, all exploring different landscapes and possible fighting environments that a student might encounter once they leave.”

”Huh,” The group was left in a trance as they thought about the possibilities. Since they currently have in their possession both wind, water, and plant stones it's easy to say that they could create a multitude of different environments.

Granted, it'll be extraordinarily difficult and take much time, however, the outcome would be stunning. Their chances of attracting students would soar if they showcase the available multitude of fighting facilities and how they encompass every environment.

”Well then, since we're here how about I show you my fighting skills?” Kawata said abruptly, slightly stunning the group from his question. They had all heard from Lachlan that Kawata is a martial arts master; however, he's also currently 69 years old. Far away from when he was in his prime state.

”Sure, I suppose we could stretch out those old bones of yours,” Simon said casually as he walked onto the field. Kawata nodded before following behind him. Once they reached the middle they took a few steps away, given themselves a distance of 20 metres.

”One of you start the countdown!” Simon shouted towards the group.

Zoe nodded before taking a couple of steps forward, breaking free from the group and stepping slightly onto the field. She raised her hand into the air and swiftly glanced towards both competitors. ”Alright. 3! 2! 1! Fight!”

Simon made a mad dash towards Kawata, his body blurred from his speed as he disappeared from Kawata's sight. Kawata's eyes widened from surprise before sharpening and returning to their normal state. His body moved in a fluid motion, smoothly through the air as he swung his arms.

They managed to make contact with the side of Simon's fist. Kawata grabbed on tight before twisting his body, allowing Simon's body to breeze past, gradually losing the original momentum he had. Allow for Kawata to attack.

Kawata pulled Simon's body towards him, his leg moved into a blur, smashing against Simon's feet. Simon lost all balance that moment as his feet were taken out from under him.

Kawata's skilful work didn't end there, he pulled his arm back once more, flipping Simon around before getting Simon into a full-body lock. Kawata was pinning Simon against the ground, holding tightly onto Simon's arms and pressing down against the back of Simon's legs with the heels of his feet.

Simon grunted loudly, attempting to use all of his strength to get back off the ground but to no avail. His eyes widened with surprise before staring at Kawata and tilting his head slightly. ”What the hell did you do to me? Why can't I use all my strength?” Simon was stunned by his ever-diluting strength. He felt himself get weaker by the second.

Kawata chuckled slightly before letting go of Simon, his muscles and body were currently still rather weak in comparison to Simon. So although he managed to pin Simon down, keeping him down took a lot more effort than he expected.

Simon took a breather, he felt that the air was heavy, and his head was slightly light. ”Really, what did you do? Why do I feel so weak and weird?”
