Chapter 57 - Natsu vs Kenichi 2 (1/2)

”So you are here for me right” Kenichi asked while coming infront of him.

Natsu nodded his head after hearing Kenichi's question and said ”You have become a thorn in Ragnarok so the faster we deal with you the better it is”

”Bastard has really chosen the perfect day for that” thought Kenichi in his mind.

”Since we are going to fight why don't you show me your face” asked Kenichi

Natsu removes his hood and let them see his face.

”Ahh... Tanimoto-San” Miu said in surprise

Saeko was surprised as well which could be seen from her face reaction but she didn't had one as drastic as Miu.

Only Kenichi didn't had any reaction, seeing which Natsu raised his eyebrows and asked ”Did you already knew about me”

”Yeah more or less, as when we shook hands for the first time I knew those hands weren't of someone who only does acting in the play, then those delinquents who were badly beaten after creating a ruckus wasn't done by me so I knew someone from the drama club must be behind it and finally you used the half-turning three step unconsciously while acting in the play which is part of a Chinese martial arts steps” Kenichi explained.

”Oh I see looks like you have great observation skills as well” Natsu said as he went into his battle stance.

Unable to wait anymore Natsu attacks Kenichi with his right palm towards his face which Kenichi blocked using both his hands by making a X.

Kenichi knew that his speed was not fast enough to dodge all his attacks so he has already bared his teeth to take a few hits as well.

Nastu with his left hand attacks on Kenichi's stomach but Kenichi uses Double Palm pushes away the attacks of Hemit, and when he gets closer, pushes the enemy with both hands.

He stands with his right foot in front. As he makes a circular movement with both hands, he steps with his left foot. While stepping, he brings his hands to his right, and then pushes both hands forward and hits the ground with his left foot at the same time.

Natsu takes the hit on his stomach and started coughing as he back downs to create some distance between them but Kenichi didn't let him have a moment of rest and gives a low kick with his right leg at his left knee.

Natsu goes on one of his knee due to Kenichi's kick and sees Kenichi knee coming towards his face, he uses both his hands and blocks the attack.

After his last attack is blocked Kenichi takes two steps back and starts breathing heavily as the 10 kg of extra dead weight was making his movements sluggish otherwise Natsu wouldn't have been able to block the last attack.

”Tell me is your Master Sougetsu Ma” asked Natsu while holding his stomach.

”No! but one of my master is Kensei Ma maybe he has some relations with this Sougetsu Ma of yours but I don't know” Kenichi said as he took his defence position once again ready to defend and attack Natsu the moment he comes.

Not far from there position the members of Ryozanpaku were looking at there fight.

”Hmm... Kenichi's movements are sluggish, is there any reason for it!?” asked Kensei Ma

”We'll just yesterday only I increased his restraints weight so it's normal that his movements will be sluggish” said Akisame
