Chapter 18. Kiba vs Rean and the Death of the Pervert.
A few seconds before Murayama yell out begin and signaling the beginning of this match I received a quest notification and I slowed down time so I could check it out.
[Ding! ding!.
Yuuto Kiba, Knight of Rias Gremory has challenged you to a match and he wasn't willing to take no as an answer.
This cocky and prideful devil thinks he has what it takes to take on a master of the Eight Leaves One Blade school of swordsmanship, show him how wrong he is and teach him a lesson in humility!.
Objective 1: Overwhelm Kiba into using his true strength.
Objective 2: Heavily injure Kiba and show him how beneath you he is.
Reward 1: Starter Pokemon Token.
Reward 2: Passive skill: Healing Item Amp.]
I quickly read the notification and mentally closed it while letting time go back to normal speed,I then got ready to face off against Kiba who was looking at me with a bored look in his eyes.
He really must think that I wasn't serious about my warning or he doesn't know I'm not human and he's underestimating me * well I can't blame him, he is a devil and if a remember correctly he was trained by Sirzechs Knight for a while but still, to be this confident? and against a swordstyle he doesn't know? sigh...*.
Suddenly Murayama brought down her hand and loudly declared "begin!".
Neither Kiba or I moved, we only stare at each other for a while, he was just standing there with a relaxed stance while I was ready for anything, suddenly he spoke up to me "well? aren't you going to show this style of yours? don't worry I'll let you have the first move so you can show it off".
I narrowed my eyes in annoyance *this son of a bitch is goading me, he wants to see what I can do... alright then let's give him a little scare*.
I moved my Bokuto and changed my stance into a Iaijutsu one, I then bent my knees, I closed my eyes and use Calm mind and Focus Energy to get ready.
Everyone watching the match tense up the moment Rean changed his stance, there was this invisible tension in the air and everyone was affected by it except YunYun who had already seen and sparred with Rean often enough to get used to this.
Rias and Sona began to nervously sweat, they couldn't sense anything but they knew that Rean did something right now, both Akano and Tsubaki who were more attuned to matters of the spirit narrowed their eyes when they saw Rean's presence change and calm down to a ridiculous degree.
Kiba himself tense up and began to profusely sweat as he watched Rean's entire presence and stance shift into something different, something very dangerous.
As I kept my eyes close I used Aura sense in order to stay in this state of super focus and kept an eye on Kiba, this is something I've been practicing for a while now and it took me a while to perfect, it allows me to dodge, react and counter attack all at the same time while not minimizing attack power.
In other words it was a cheap copy of Ultra Instinct but one that was really powerful and only available to me to use and today I'm going to use Kiba as a test dummy.
Kiba waited and waited but before he could decide do anything Rean suddenly appeared right in front of him and had his Bokuto already in a mid swing motion.
The move was so fast and so abrupt that Kiba didn't have any way to dodge, his only option was to intercept the blow with his own Bokuto and he did, however Rean's swing was too strong and too fast, as soon as it collided with Kiba's Bokuto a loud clack echoed throughout the gym and Kiba was sent flying back until he crashed against the ground where he aggressively rolled and continued rolling backwards until he slammed against the wall located far behind him.
