The Young Esper Hero

Chapter 25: Wiping of the Disciple's Butt

Forest No POV

Bang: Fist of Flowing Water Crushing Rock!

Bang did multiple chain hits on Garou really not giving him a chance to even defend himself or even recover as Garou tried to counterattack but Bang deflected his attacks. They both clashed at the same time with great skill on both sides.

Genos: <thought> offense and defense in perfect harmony. It is the same fighting style, but Bang's form is flawless. The victor is already clear.

Bang overwhelmed Garou as he hit him away and went to double strike Garou. Garou grabbed his arms and tried to knee his head but Bang knees his head first like an uppercut and moves his arm to his throat before he spun him on his side and kicked him mid air.

Garou was sent through several trees as he landed on his back. Bang jumped as he went for a down punch on Garou which he blocked just in time as the ground was made into a crater. Bang kept on wailing on Garou.

Garou: <thought> what the hell? The old S.O.B. doesn't usually just whale on an opponent like this. Damn it. I'm blacking out. I'm about to die.

Garou threw some dirt at Bang as Bang wove it away as he went to do a powerful punch on Garou but Garou dodged and went on all fours to jump from tree to tree.

Bang: what is that preposterous style? Where did you pick it up? It's like you're a damn animal.

Garou: <thought> I'm not done. <goes for DeathGatling's body> I'll grab him and carve out an advantage.

Bomb: no, you don't.

Bomb kicked Garou away from the fallen hero and was sent across some blue blood from the dead monsters.

Bomb: I took care of the monsters, as I said I would. And now your turn. Take out Garou.

In the skies, Phoenix Man was watching the fight while flying around.

Phoenix: <thought> we sent in a team to bring Garou back alive, but we had no idea Demon Cyborg was such a strong adversary. And then there's SilverFang and the other one. I see no way of retrieving Garou, but, if I return empty-handed, Orochi may devour me like the others. I need Garou to somehow get through this alive... but it's starting to look hopeless.

Garou got up as Bomb and Bang took stances.

Bang: Bomb, look at the wounds covering him. If you'd received as many, would you still be standing?

Bomb: if I were 60 years younger, I'm confident I could hang in there without a problem, maybe. Now just a little more. Let's finish this, Bang!

Both Bomb and Bang rushed at Garou and started to tag team him as Garou didn't have a chance to defend himself as he then put his guard up but every blow hurt a lot.

Garou: <thought> Bang, you bastard. Attacking your former student when I'm already beaten all to hell. And, worse, the other old fart is Bomb, Master of the Whirlwind Iron Cutting Fist. Have they no shame, ganging up on me like this? Even if I put on a sob act and begged for my life, Demon Cyborg would never let me go. I don't see any other way out of this. The only thing i can do is kill all three of them.

Bang kicked Garou in the face knocking him down.

Garou: <thought> but that's impossible.

Bang; i will repay you for every ounce of pain you gave to Charanko! Suffer!

Garou remembered his childhood, how he was bullied by the most popular kid named Tatsu. One time he lost his temper and was blamed and punished. His ideology came that heroes were always the popular ones while the monsters were always the unpopular ones. How it felt so unfair. He challenged Tatsu to a fight and everyone ganged up on him as he was the one who got in trouble as he was made to be the bad guy.
