Anime Tournament of Power 2 (ATOP 2)

Chapter 26: Let's Play a Game

Megumi and Nobara were paying close attention to the game that Yuji and Zenkichi had finally decided on playing. A classic for young teenagers who participated in gym class activities, instead of slouching off on the bleachers because they 'forgot' their gym clothes.

Zenkichi was on one side of the court surrounded by numerous small blue soft balls while Yuji was on the opposing side of said court. Around his feet where the same amount of scattered softballs but their color was red. Zenkichi was stretching his arm as he complimented.

"You know of all the games I didn't think we'd settle on Trash Clash. I'm actually surprised you even know about it."

Yuji swooped down low to stretch his leg while laughing with a pure smile on his face.

"Heh yeah, back in my hometown we called it 'Get your trash off of my yard!' hehe. I used to be the king of this game but I might have gotten a little rusty to be honest."

Zenkichi scoffed.

"Hmph. Well if you were the king than Medaka was definitely the queen, she calls it 'Garbage Ball' though. She was absolutely beast, I think one time her side had absolutely no trash on it."

Yuji exclaimed.

"Wow that's really impressive if you think about it. This Medaka girl, she seems like a really good friend."

Zenkichi couldn't help but smile when he admitted.

"Yeah Medaka is the best. But let's get started, I take it you know the rules?"

Yuji responded.

"Yup, once Teach Kugisaki blows the whistle we try to get as much 'trash' onto each other's sides and once the music stops so do we."

"The side with the least amount of 'trash' wins. Right?"

Zenkichi chuckled.

"Flawless explanation. On you then Teach."

Nobara had a whistle in her hand standing on the bleachers where she groaned obviously annoyed.

"How in the world did I get roped into these shenanigans? Five minutes that's all that guy has until I drill a nail through his kneecaps."

After a little suspense Nobara slowly wrapped her lips around the whistle which she blew into hard sounding off the start of the game. Megumi pointed a remote upwards before pressing a button which then sounded off some classical music. And thus the pandemonium begun.

To start off Zenkichi swooped down low performing a leg sweep which collected about five balls on his leg alone. And he followed through kicking them all to Yuji's side forcing him to react quickly by diving to the right and smacking them all back. Zenkichi was not worried about those however, for he had already started to kick and throw more of his soft balls off his side of the court.

Yuji quickly jolted off the floor in order to start punching and kicking incoming 'trash', deflecting them back to the opposing side. This guy is fast, I can't even focus on getting my trash onto his side! I have to figure out a way to slow him down or I'm gonna lose by so little.

Zenkichi threw a speeding pitch as the violin continued to play passionately within the gymnasium. Yuji kicked the speeding ball right back before flipping down scooping up some ammunition, hurling it on the enemy side. Zenkichi grunted before backhanding the incoming trash in a quick fashion.
