Chapter 205 - Underground arena 2 (1/2)

The man launched a barrage of attacks, which Ukita kept dodging. It was then that Ukita noticed something peculiar.

”Why does my opponent... so much slower then master Akisame's machine?” thought Ukita, referring to the time when he practiced on Master Akisame's machine.

”Urgh, stop dodging!” cried out the man as he kept missing. He then tried to punch Ukita but overstepped it too much.

Ukita snapped back into reality and reacted, grabbing the man's wrist with both hands. Ukita then turned his body and using his back as a support throws the man onto the ground. This way he not only used Jujutsu but added a little judo in it as well.

”Oh, and a surprise takedown from Child U! Will this be the match!?” shouted an announcer.

Ukita firmly grasped the arm, not allowing his opponent any opportunity. Soon, the man tapped out, allowing Ukita to win.

”See Ukita, you did it!” cheered Kenichi as Ukita got back to the corner.

”Yea.... I guess I did!” smiled Ukita.

”Have more confi... Ukita duck!” shouted Kenichi. Ukita instinctively obeyed just to dodge an attack.

”Hey, hey don't distracted” said Sakaki as he sipped on his beer the boss had brought for him, ”You four are going to be doing continuous matches until you forfeit, whether by choice or knockout.”

”You said one battle only!” cried Ukita.

”Yeah.... that is one battle, Just continuous matches. I will let you out if you seem really tired, but not before that. C'mon, I hear you say that you didn't want to be left behind. Isn't that the reason you came to Akisame to learn. If you don't do this, you will really be left behind. The other three are already past their 2nd match.”

Ukita's ears perked up to hear that it was true. Child T (Takeda) had just finished his 3rd fight, Child K (Kisara) was in the middle of her 3rd third, and Child S (Tsuji) was beginning his 3rd fight. Ukita grit his teeth as he turned to face his opponent, this time determined visage painted onto his face. With a roar, Ukita charged forward.

”Urrrrgg that was tiring” g.r.o.a.n.e.d Ukita as he held an ice pack to his head, though he felt proud of himself. He had managed to win three fights before losing the fourth one.

”Yeah but it gave us a lot of experience” grinned Kisara, who winced as she gently poked her t.h.i.g.h. She had five consecutive wins before she decided to stop, her legs were feeling a bit sore. Her last match had been challenging. Kenichi went close to her to ask about her condition and only when she insistently said that she was fine did Kenichi let go of the matter.

”Hmph, I want to go up again!” pouted Tsuji, his face was rather bruised. He had won four matches and tied his fifth match with a double knockout.

Takeda was still continuing his sixth match, though he was very tired now. He narrowly won with an uppercut after ducking from his opponents punch before calling it quits for now.
