CHAPTER 11

A/N:

Last chapter for the week! I'll see you guys on the 9th. Bye <3

Watching the two walk into the ring was tense. Both of them were eyeing each other while walking side by side, even while wearing their protective gear. Eventually, they were standing face to face against each other with determination burning in their eyes.

"Now, the Quarter-Finals Round TWOOOOO! On the red side, HIROSE KENICHI!!! And on the blue side, ASUKA ISAMI!!!"

The crowd cheered as the invigilator walks into the middle of the two and stated the rules.

"— 4th, Quirks are allowed in this fight, and only by knock out or out of bounds signifies the match, understood?"

They both nodded without saying anything as the invigilator takes a few steps back. He raises his hand upwards.

"Ready..." And he swings it down, signaling the start of the fight.

"BEGIN!"

DING DING DING!

The two got into their stances immediately, Kenichi with his cat-foot and closed stance while she had a typical Muay Thai stance, her arms raised to the point where her elbows are parallel to her chin, and a foot raised with her right foot on the floor.

As the bell rang, they started to bounce, going into Neutral as the two gauges each other and range by throwing feint jabs and short kicks to see their range, reaction time, and response to the threat. In other words, they are trying to find patterns that the other will do.

Annoyed at Kenichi's slow approach of analyzing her, she starts her attack. She moves into his range and throws a left low kick to the thigh but gets intercepted by Kenichi quickly reacting to the kick by backstepping the attack before swinging a side kick.

PAK!

The first hit goes to Kenichi as the kick lands on her stomach, but since she was too far away for it, it did little to no damage. However, he has the pressure now. Starting his offense after learning about her range from that little interaction, he sprung.

After the sidekick to the stomach, while she was recovering from that hit he immediately rushed at her and threw a combination of attacks. A jab to a cross, before ending it with a mid-section roundhouse to the rib.

The one-two connected, however, she blocked the roundhouse with her left arm using her forearm before spinning and slamming her right elbow into his face which makes him take a few steps back.

That was Muay Thai's equivalent of the reverse backhand.

To recuperate, Kenichi backed off with pain showing on his face while she advanced. She started running toward him before jumping, pouncing onto him before slamming her knee into his stomach, which made him gasp in pain.

THUK!

"K-Kuh!" The force from the knee was huge to the point that he spat out the saliva in his mouth as she wrapped her hands around the back of his neck, trapping him in a clinch, and did another knee to the ribs this time.

THUK!

But before she had the chance to get another knee, he quickly swept his right hand under hers, creating an overhook. He then pulls, using the momentum to off-balance her.

Now with the inner control over the clinch, he retaliated by repeating what she had done with him with knees to her body and ribs after getting a good grip on her biceps.
