CHAPTER 14

A/N:

Last chapter of the week! I will see you guys on the 16th, bye! :)

'Boxers. Mostly they fight with their fists. Have a very short range since they don't use legs. Low amount of attack points since they can't target the legs. They can weave through most attacks with their incredible core strength and hit fast and hard.'

He thought to himself as they got ready for the match. While wearing their protective gear (sport wraps on the hands and legs to prevent permanent damage from being dealt or received)

'I should be fine unless he suddenly uses his legs, but from the past fights that I've seen briefly once Tashiro-san left, he doesn't and purely uses only his arms.'

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN! GET READY FOR THE SEMI FINALSSSS!!!"

The crowd goes wild as the announcer waves his hand to them.

"ON THE RED SIDE! JIN GOHRRUUUUUU! AND ON THE BLUE SIDE! SHOJI IWAOOOOOO!"

Rotating his head to loosen his neck, he takes a breath and raised his stance as the invigilator straight away started the fight.

"BEGIN!"

DING DING DING~

The boxer immediately got on the offensive the moment the bell rang, dashing at Gohru this time with a proper guard with no openings at all.

Waiting until he enters his range, he calms down before activating Eye of the Mind.

The world gets tuned out into a blur as he was encapsulated in a 5x5 diameter semi-translucent sphere. That signified his current range with his limited arm and leg length.

Time seems to slow down as the boxer moves slower than earlier. The moment the boxer touched the semi-translucent sphere, multiple images of the boxer manifested as they showed the available attacks that he could do through something like a hologram. The attack he was going to do, the angle of the strike, the speed, etc.

Deciding on a move that had the safest escape, the world eventually fills back in color as he ducks, dodging a cross to his face. The boxer immediately responded with a left uppercut, which Gohru dodges again by leaning back before stepping a few steps back.

Raising his guard again, he activates Eye of the Mind once more before slowly advancing toward the boxer by taking small cautious steps.

Once he was almost near the boxer's range, he intentionally raised his lowered right arm's guard, opening his right ribs to which the boxer takes advantage by immediately shooting a jab to fake before a powerful hook to the ribs from Eye of the Mind.

With this knowledge, when he blocked the jab with his left palm, he waited until the hook was in action and was not escapable before redirecting the hook using his right arm.

The boxer's eyes widened when he saw the grin on Gohru's face. How can someone just drop his guard intentionally like that without being overcome by fear?!

He grins at the shocked expression, thankful that his assessment was true. So with both arms in his control, he tossed the arms of the boxer away from his main body, making his guard non-existent.

With the opening, he could just knock the boxer out, but due to the contract that he just received, he got a little greedy to flex a little.

Thus, he, instead of finishing the boxer off, just took a step back and headed to the edge of the ring to let the boxer get back up.
