BNHA: Martial Arts God

CHAPTER 6

Once the invigilator began their fight, they started skipping, preparing to react to anything. Unlike the other 4 that always rushed at him the moment the fight began, this one was staying back, observing him which Gohru approved.

'Not bad. He's not blindly rushing in at the start but instead watching my every move. This guy deserves the title of Ace in this Dojo.'

Deciding to test the waters, Gohru slowly skips toward Kenichi.

'Let's see what he does...'

Once they were close enough, Gohru swung a low kick. Kenichi reacts to the low kick by raising his left leg to stop the kick using his shin.

'He could have dodged that slow low, so that means that he's confident about his legs... Need more info.'

Wanting Kenichi to exchange more moves, Gohru goes in for a fake. Rushing in, Gohru steps into the 17- year old's range. Deciding to now go on the offensive, Kenichi throws out a left front kick.

'F-Fast!'

Gohru barely dodges the kick by stepping back instantly when he threw the kick.

'That was fast! I almost got hit by that! Was that his Quirk?'

Paired with strong leg power combined with his leg length plus the probability of a passive strengthening Quirk, reaching in to get a hit was going to be tough. So, what do you do when your opponent is bigger? Bait him and weather his attacks. Make him think that he has the advantage until he slips. Everyone slips.

Realizing that Gohru couldn't compete with his superior reach, he advances to pressure Gohru with his advantage.

'Good thinking! This guy is good!'

Throwing all sorts of punches and kicks, the only thing Gohru could do was try his best to dodge and protect all his vitals while weathering the storm.

"Our genius is in a tight spot! What shall he do to prevail!"

He tried to dodge the attacks, but with his insane reach and power on his legs, Gohru had to suffer from some attacks.

'S-Shit! Those hurts!'

He thought as his left leg gets hit by another low kick to the thigh from Kenichi before raising his arm to block a roundhouse kick to the head.

'But this is nothing compared to Taejin's demonic training.'

He thought as he leans back to dodge a sidekick to the head before redirecting a right hook with his left hand. Taking a step back, he noticed that he was at the end of the sparring square, so he rolls away from another low kick — 'This guy really loves his low kicks' — and positioned himself in the middle of the square.

'He always swings his arms when he roundhouses, leaving his face unguarded! That's it!'

Now noticing his opponent's fatal flaw, Gohru rushes toward Kenichi with a plan. Once he stepped into Kenichi's range, Kenichi, who thought that Gohru was trying to get another attack in, swung another low kick to the leg.

'I've analyzed you, Kenichi! I knew you would do that!'

Predicting that he would do so, he took a step back to dodge it before continuing his rush. Panicking to stop him from advancing towards himself, he swung a full power roundhouse to the stomach.

Waiting until the last minute, Gohru, with his small body size, jumps 3 feet into the air.

"W-What leg strength! Jin waited until the last moment of the swing to jump into an advantageous spot!"
