Chapter 239 - Pankration Team (1/2)
”Don't let what the idiot's say affect you! Though I doubt it would but still as a martial artist let your skills talk for you instead of your mouth.” Kenichi said after which he walked back to his booth.
Rachel and Ethan also walked back to their booth but she didn't forgot to scold his brother for not standing up for her like Kenichi Shirahama did.
”And we will go to the next and final battle of the first round! A team just as favored as Team Gemini! Please welcome .... the Pankration team! They are the fighters chosen and raised by Fortuna himself! Fighting them is a Karate Team called Absolute Dojo.” the announcer stated.
”We are the best Karate users in the world! Our Karate is absolute” declared the captain of the Karate team,”Karate users like Sakaki Shio and Akira Hongo are mere pebble compared to us! All they use are tricks and bribery!”
”Haaah?” growled Sakaki eager to punch these brats.
”Pfft... hahahaha..... that's a nice one” said Kenichi while trying to hold his laughter but couldn't seeing which Sakaki regained in his composure and laughed it out like his disciple.
But Sho didn't take it well, ”Who are you calling a fake?” he shouted in anger, ”Sensei would kick your a.s.s with just a pinky finger!”
He had to be restrained by Boris while Trawit and Ethan restrained Hayami and Seto.
It was five on five match, but when the match started, spartacus and the others huddled up in the middle while the others surrounded them. None of the karate members were sure what to do until....
”Ha, leave this to me” bragged the captain as he approached Spartacus, ”I can take him out with just one tap.”
The captain punched towards spartacus oly for the guy to block his attack after which Spartacus slammed him on to the ground before wailing on him. The others tried to help but soon found out that they were completely outmatched in a brutal fashion as no matter their kick or punches were able to penetrate the defense the pankration team. They were getting brutally slammed onto the ground and continuously punched till they were all knocked out cold.
”Those brats don't know how to really fight against someone and neither they have any understanding of Ki” Diego stated while shaking his head.
”Such a waste ” agreed Fortuna, ”However, it allows my children's skills to broadcasted at least.”

After a short break everyone was back as the quarter-final was getting started.
”Exciting isn't it?” yelled out the announcer as the ring began to shift once more.
”And now we shall proceed to the second round, the quarter-finals” announced the announcer, ”First up will be Ryozanpaku vs. the Three headed Dragon! on one hand, we have the three biggest Chinese Martial arts. However on the other hand we have a team that managed to defeat a master, and that too without any problems! Such an exciting match up that's sure to come!”
”You guys can go this time and as I promised I won't be entering in this round” Kenichi stated.
”Really! You won't?” asked the surprise Niijima
”Yeah, I trust Miu and Renka and I know that they won't have any problem while dealing with those three” replied Kenichi
”Haha.... yes don't worry Miu and I will beat them to the ground” Renka said
