BNHA: Martial Arts God

CHAPTER 30

A/N:

Thanks for joining Patreon, Nathan, and Soulsmsher.

A bit of some unfortunate news, exams are coming. And coupled with assignments and the need to study, I'll be on hiatus for a while until 7 March.

Sorry about this ;(

P.S. I totally forgot to post a chapter, so sorry.

Sitting down at the hotel bed, Gohru sighs as he looked at the tournament bracket. It was only the two of them in the room while the rest of the boys were in their separate rooms.

"Who the fuck is this guy?"

He stares at the name that he was going against tomorrow. He had forgotten to watch the fight after his, so he regretted not being able to make any strategies to counter, but oh well.

Ryeom Jiwoo, a Korean who placed number 10 in the rankings. Looking at his bio, he's 24 (23 in international age since they count age since the start of pregnancy) and has won over 200 tournaments, mostly national, in the past 7 years. Impressive.

"Look here, he's a student in Korea's famous Hero college."

Toga said as she opened up the bio website that every participant had to write, and saw that he was a 4th year in the Hero course of Korea University.

Looking at his bio further, he noted his Quirk and his way of fighting.

Quirk: Taegeuk (Yin and Yang) He can harness the energies to create weapons that are the principles of Taegeuk. He cannot use both weapons simultaneously and needs focus and concentration to utilize his Quirk.

He can also increase his strength and speed by flowing the energies of Taegeuk into his body, thus improving his physical parameters by at least 30% minimum.

Yin: Black Korean Short Sword with a tiger symbol at the hilt and handle.

Yang: White-ish Yellow Bong (Bo) Staff with a black dragon symbol that runs across the staff

A bo staff user! He had always wanted to learn how to use a bo staff and had planned on going to China to learn from the Shaolin Monks that were still present in this era, but a professional to-be-Hero with an amazing Quirk?

Eye of the Lord's gonna eat good tomorrow.

Wearing the same thing as yesterday, he made sure to drain a few cups of blood last night before sleeping to clench Toga's thirst whenever she needs to.

His match was the second of many today, a total of 4 matches. Kenichi's was the last one today, so he could relax while watching it.

He was also interested in the match between him and Miruko since he'd seen some of her fights on HeroTube (For the fight only, yes, only the fight scenes) as she has quite an interesting Quirk that increases her leg power and flexibility due to her Quirk, Rabbit.

... But there was one thing that he disliked about her, along with modern Heroes. They don't implement any martial arts that suit them at all. Like look at All Might, he's a guy that uses the "Punch, then Punch" philosophy, like where are the kicks? Where are the holds and grabs?

Hell, he'd never seen her do any Taekwondo or Muay Thai, martial arts that use solely legs and just opted to use her original moves. Sure, they're useful, but shouldn't she diversify her kit?
