Shinonome School Park Underground Arena Night.
This is the school's secret martial arts training area - it's called "Ash Abyss", and only the core members of the martial arts department are allowed to use it.
At that moment, Funk, Rhein, and Alfie were standing on the edge of the audience, and in front of them was a man who had already taken off his shirt, revealing bandages and old scars - Ryuya Gray Island.
"Your magic department made a lot of noise in the 'Dragon Tooth Field.'"
Ash Island's voice was low, like metal scraped by sandpaper.
"But you made a mistake."
"In front of real fighters - cards and formations - there is no reaction time at all."
Feng Ke hugged his arms and replied lightly: "Then try it." "
He looked back at Rhine, "Can you beat him?" "
Rhine narrowed his eyes and a familiar smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:
"Not guaranteed."
"But I know - I've wanted to beat him for a long time."
[Ryuya Gray Island, Ryuya Rhine's predecessor, is also a former "training ghost" in the martial arts department.
Three years ago, when Rhine first suggested "breaking the rules with your fists" in a basic martial arts class, it was Gray Island who overpowered him.
"It's not that you don't know how to fight, it's just that you don't respect 'force' at all."
At that time, Gray Island punched Rhine in the flesh, leaving him covered in blood.
That memory has always been engraved in Rhine's heart.
Today, he'll do it his own way - go back.
"Duel begins.
Funk stepped aside and Alfie opened the recognition aid, but didn't say much.
Gray Island presented a very traditional starting hand, and his steps were as calm as a mountain.
Rhine was still wild, one hand on his waist and the other in a half-open fist.
"Let's go!"
Ash Island stepped out, and the ground shook.
It was no ordinary step - it was a "pressure-breaking step," imbued with aura and power, born specifically to break the formation.
Rhine dodged and retreated, at the same time activating the miniature magic field under his feet, forcibly increasing his own instant explosion.
"Drink!"
Gray Island let out a low roar and threw a straight punch!
Rhine broke through the defense, but was knocked several meters away by a huge force and crashed into the wall!
In the audience, Alfi frowned, "He's too tough, and he can't be strengthened by technique alone. "
Funk looked calm: "It's not over yet. "
[Rhine's "Reverse Style"] "Damn.... He's still as tough as he was three years ago. "
Rhine slowly stood up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.
He shifted his shoulders and smiled slightly maniacally:
"But now it's not just physical."
As soon as he stood up, the technique activated - Reverse Shock Array!
Punch to Fist, Rhine deliberately ate a side-swing from Gray Island, but used the technique to "channel" the shock back into the opponent's body!
Ash Island's body stagnated, and his feet slipped.
"You --!"
Rhine used the momentum to swing his fist up, and the spell superimposed on his flesh slammed into Ash Island's chest with a dull thud!
Ash Island was knocked back a few steps, his shirt bursting on his chest, and his skin turned red.
- For the first time, he was repulsed by his juniors.
There was three seconds of silence.
Then Ash Island smiled.
"Not bad."
"You... Finally, you're not the little goblin who just fights around. "
"But it's not enough."
Gray Island gasped as he slowly assumed a new posture.
The spirit of the fist is rising, and the fighting spirit is like a flame.
"If you can still stand after this blow, I will agree with you."
"Ultimate Confrontation
Rhein took a deep breath, the operation of the technique accelerated, and Funk and Alfie teamed up to adjust the protective array.
The two of them sprinted at the same time.
The gray island is like a landslide, and Rhein is like thunder!
Fist to fist.
Air Burst!
The entire Abyss Arena erupted in a violent shock, sending dust and air currents in all directions.
Finally -
Ash Island gasped slightly, dropped to his knees, and looked down at his fist, which was trembling slightly from the shock technique.
Across from him, Rhine was half-kneeling, his right arm broken, but smiling heartily.
"This time... Let's even it up, brother. "
Ash Island nodded, stood up, and extended his hand:
"You win, Rhine."
"Maybe - your magic department can really do something great."
[Back in the classroom, Funk began revising the shock formula for the technique, and Alfie lowered his head to record the battle data.
Rhine sat in the corner with a thick bandage on his wrist.
None of them had much to say.
But all three of them knew in their hearts that after this battle:
- The Ministry of Magic is truly recognized by a fighting community.
And that's just the beginning.
Gray Island Ryuya - Ryoya Haijima
"The punch of the strong is not to crush, but to make people stand up.
Your fists finally have that taste. "
