BXBX NOVEL Chapter 18 - Fighting Kōgōryū's (Edited)
Kyōka had a wild grin on her face, savagery radiating from her being as she glanced at Meru. "Meru, as always you don\'t disappoint me with your punches, each one of them hurts like hell."
"Ahahaha, thank you, yours aren\'t bad either." Meru smirked, without any hesitation they started to fight again.
The spectators were in awe at their fighting prowess.
"As expected of the great Hatenko (Tiger) Meru! She doesn\'t lose to a Ryū (Dragon) on the caliber of Kagamiin Kyōka!"
"Their attacks are so sharp and fast, I can barely see anything!"
"Honestly I can\'t even imagine being at their level!"
"They are evenly matched!"
Kyle agreed with that last about them being equally matched at the moment, he could see clearly that none held the advantage over the other in this matchup.
But he wasn\'t sure what would happen if they got serious, yes they weren\'t fighting seriously, they didn\'t use any techniques or their signature footworks yet.
They were simply using brute force in their attacks instead of Martial Arts techniques, though they were using their individual styles in attacks it was a methodical way of attacking even though there weren\'t any techniques in use. Kyle wanted to see the fight to the end but… it\'d probably just end in a tie.
So, Kyle decided to go to the school office first before greeting Meru, he could see that she was having fun while fighting and was busy at the moment. So, as a self-proclaimed gentleman he didn\'t want to interrupt a busy lady doing her business.
Welp, who are we kidding? The reality was that he didn\'t want to get in trouble on his first day of school, it\'d be a huge pain in the ass if he did and he was certain he\'d lose any chance of making some new friends if he got involved with those two muscle headed women.
He was silently walking towards the school\'s office building. Kyle, being naïve as he is, thought that if he just walked away without interfering or disturbing anyone he could reach his destination without anyone noticing him, effectively getting out of this troublesome situation.
But as a naïve boy he couldn\'t be more wrong… the fiendish plot nay, the sadistic pair of the author (Charlottes) and the editor (Paradox) won\'t let him go without making his life a hell for their entertainment purposes… ahem- ahem-….
A quick punch from Kyōka suddenly connected and blasted Meru towards Kyle\'s destination, Kyle was able to notice it and started to curse the BS plot and the sadistic duo with vulgarities of unknown origins.
"F*ck, f*ck, f*ck, f*ck….! Are you fucking kidding me?! So much for the plot sparing me from this idiotic situation...! Damn, what in the name of Satan am I even saying? Did I lose some screws on my head that I\'m spouting this nonsense?!"
He was too late to dodge Meru after his internal contemplation, since he wasn\'t able to dodge her so he may as well catch her!
While he was preparing to catch Meru, her body shifted in mid air and it was apparent she was intending to land on Kyle, saving herself on his expense.
Kyle immediately realized it and was outraged, so he changed his mind on catching her. "You want to land your two dirty shoes into my new uniform, huh?! Want to save yourself at my expense, huh?! Fat chance, bitch! I changed my mind about catching you!"
Meru was just inches away from Kyle and was about to land on his body when he immediately dodged her landing attempt!
Seeing that her \'landing spot\' had moved away, she immediately twisted her body sideways and landed on the ground without a problem.
After landing on the ground, she complained. "Why did you dodge?!"
Kyle was speechless at this girl\'s unreasonable words and exclaimed. "Huh?!! Excuse me, but don\'t you think you\'re being unreasonable here? Of course I\'d dodge your landing attempt, if you landed on me, not only would my uniform become dirty, I would\'ve also received serious injuries because of the speed you\'d have landed on me!"
"But you tried to catch me, right?"
"That was before you attempted to land in my stomach! Moreover, I was trying to help you there!"
"So wha-" Meru suddenly paused as she glanced at Kyle\'s figure, her eyes widened and she exclaimed.
"Ah! It\'s you! The one who helped me before!"
"It\'s me so what?"
"AHAHAHA! What a coincidence! So we\'re going to be studying at the same school from now on, huh?" Meru laughed happily as she saw an acquaintance.
Kyle was about to respond but he was interrupted by Kyōka\'s loud scream.
"Meru!!! DON\'T IGNORE AN OPPONENT WHILE YOU\'RE FIGHTING!" She rushed towards Meru with extreme speed, totally ignoring Kyle\'s existence.
Meru suddenly had an idea, mischief evident in her gestures, as she suddenly grinned while glancing at Kyle.
Kyle noticed her glance, immediately understanding her intentions, he sweated. \'Fuck! Don\'t tell me she-\'
His thoughts were interrupted when Meru suddenly hid behind his back, this action surprised Kyōka but she didn\'t stop!
Kyōka didn\'t care about a stranger like Kyle. She won\'t let anyone interrupt her fights. She had no empathy for someone who would come between her and her fights.
She was a battle junkie, meaning she was addicted to fighting. Her thirst for battling was endless! Whenever a day passed without her fighting she would grow restless.
"I don\'t know why you are hiding behind that boy, but it doesn\'t mean that our fight will stop Meru!" Kyōka stated, her fist now just a meter away from Kyle and was directed towards Kyle\'s face, it\'s intent was to blast away the pest that Meru was using as a shield.
Meru suddenly spoke cheekily. "You have to counter her attack or else Fufufu~ it will be extremely bad for you!"
Kyle was pissed, he was pissed above and beyond with this legal loli, he responded calmly, but his voice held the anger of a raging volcano. "Once I\'m finished with this, you better be out of my sight, because I promise you won\'t like what I\'ll do with you if I catch you today."
Kyōka\'s fist, brimming with power, arrived, aiming for Kyle\'s stomach, hitting there full force, or so she thought. She was surprised to witness a hand centimeters away from his stomach holding her fist in place. It was Kyle\'s hand gripping her fist so tightly that she couldn\'t even budge. Kyōka was absolutely shocked, never did she believe that a stranger she thought of as a pest, a weakling, merely a shield for Meru to use to throw her attacks in disarray was able to stop her fist, the Kōgōryū\'s (Dragon of Power) fist without any visible efforts, she could also feel that Kyle was nonchalant in his stance taking it easily, moreover, his grip was so tight she couldn\'t even move her hand!
Booom~!
Shockwaves originated in the surroundings due to the power surging from Kyōka\'s attack but Kyle didn\'t budge from his position, only his jacket fluttered due to the ensuing shockwave. Kyōka was trying to overpower Kyle\'s grip when she heard Kyle mutter in a tone that made her shudder.
"I don\'t like to fight, you know. All I\'m asking for is a normal life filled with peacefulness. Can\'t a boy ask for some peace?... Why do annoyances like you both always force me to fight?!! Kyle roared in absolute anger, no hesitation was found, as he directed a punch towards Kyōka\'s face.
Kyōka\'s Instincts honed after multitudes of battle, was ringing like alarm bells, practically screaming at her to dodge this punch or else she would face absolute defeat.
Twisting sideways she moved her head as fast as she could and by the faintest of margins barely dodged the punch! Unfortunately, she couldn\'t dodge it fully, as a cut still appeared on the place where the punch grazed her face.
Even though Kyle wasn\'t able to hit her face fully, his punch had the sharpness of a dagger and was extremely fast which managed to wound Kyōka!
Kyōka\'s eyes widened, never did she believe that she would get wounded, and that too at just the first strike. It was truly surprising to her!
Even though her face might look like that of an ordinary human, smooth and easily susceptible to get wounded, there really weren\'t many things that could injure her, even a sharp knife was unable to wound her much less a single punch!
Kyle didn\'t stop attacking though, letting his grip loose, throwing Kyōka in disarray, hee let out a volley of swift and methodical punches and kicks coordinating them to hit Kyōka\'s weak spots. Although his attacks were fast it was evident he wasn\'t taking this fight seriously.
Every one of his attacks, be it a punch or a kick had the innate sharpness of a refined dagger. Kyōka was constantly trying to dodge his attacks but it would always graze her and some would connect with her body, due to this her entire body got riddled with wounds!
All of this was possible due to the skills, Esdeath\'s Combat Experience and Esdeath\'s Dagger Art! Especially in her Dagger Art each blow was delivered with an intent to kill. Though Kyōka was a genius in fighting, she was only a fighter and a warrior, her fighting was for sport and mostly harmless, a warrior like her could never compare to a hunter and killer like Esdeath where each battle was a bridge between life and death!
It wasn\'t gory or anything but it still could be said to be bloody, the spectators screamed in fright and concern as they saw Kyōka\'s figure riddled in wounds all over her body leaking small amounts of blood that ultimately covered her entire figure.
The wounds weren\'t of any concern alone, but the sheer number of them stacked up together caused it to be lethal, she had lost too much blood and her body became weak and wobbly, few dodges later she inevitably lost her balance and that was when Kyle aimed for a vital spot \'Shit! I can\'t dodge the next blow, I\'ll … lose…\'
Kyle\'s fist, aiming for her head, was about to hit her hard, she clenched her jaws, preparing herself for the intense pain and eventual loss of battle that would follow, but surprisingly what she expected didn\'t happen!
She noticed that Kyle\'s fist had stopped inches away from her forehead, she heard him speak in a nonchalant tone. "Now that you have had your fill of battling and losing, stop bothering me from now on okay?"
Instead of hitting her with his fist he flicked his finger and hit her on the forehead.
Tok!
"Ouch~ ouch!" Kyōka covered her forehead with a teary expression, an expression that wasn\'t available even in the original manga! She looked surprisingly cute!
Kyle stared at the finger with which he flicked Kyōka\'s forehead and spoke. "You\'re forehead is pretty hard... whatever now that I\'m done with you…"
He glanced at Meru with a cold, pissed off expression, this made Meru, the Legendary Tiger sweat profusely.
"W-wait! Onii-chan! It\'s bad to hurt a little girl like me you know?! Please~ don\'t punish me~!" Meru tried to act cute, but it was doomed to fail as Kyle sported an apathetic expression as he deadpanned Meru with his Deathly Eyes.
"W-what\'s with that look, Onii-chan?!"
"Stop acting like a kid I know you\'re already 18… I told you, didn\'t I, that if I find you after I am finished with Kyōka, you\'ll regret it, now don\'t struggle and I won\'t use too much force, little girl."
"What?! How did you- no wait please don\'t!!!"
Kyle caught Meru placed her stomach on his lap and spanked her butt hard for a hundred times, each spank made Meru scream in pain, she kept on pleading to no avail, at the 80th spank her butt became red under the skirt and she cried loudly and she wasn\'t acting this time.
All of the audience including Kyōka felt pity for Meru, but they did nothing lest they irk the fiend I\'m human flesh that Kyle was reckoned to be as. Unbeknownst to him, just on the first day of his arrival on the new school he had made the legendary reputation of beating the unbeatable tiger and the most powerful dragon! A reputation that would surely come and destroy the peace he wanted to establish by this fight! Ultimately resulting in him becoming the ruling dragon of Nango-Kuren High School!
