Martial Arts System-Chapter 23: Warnings

(Commentators Booth)

''That must hurt! Ichiro perfectly led Qin to the trap and managed to deal great damage towards him!'' Commentator A excitedly shouted.

''Indeed, Qin was way too careless, thinking that everything was in control, but a moment of carelessness almost cost him a match.'' Commentator B said and his co-casted nodded.

''Qin is surprisingly going only for Close Quarter Combat, I wonder why?'' Commentator A asked from his co-caster

''Probably has to do with Ichiro's spear-like attack, in time attack he needed to have great momentum to pierce through the puppet.'' Commentator B told.

''Quite of a big disadvantage.'' Commentator A said and started looking at the screen because it seems that Qin started moving towards Ichiro.

''Fight is continuing! Let's see does Irio get another lifeline and get to the third match or will Irio's journey end early.''

…

Qin rushed towards Ichiro with a grim face and started bombing again with his quick kicks and fists.

Ichiro moved a little bit backward and avoided Qin's rush, but he saw Qin again moving closer and closer.

[Kin Pierce!]

Suddenly Qin did a front kick towards Ichiro, putting his toes facing towards Ichiro's torso.

Usually, in a normal front kick, the bottom of your feet will hit your opponent, but Qin used that his toes instead will.

*Whish* Qin's attack Kin Pierce rushed towards Ichiro, but Ichiro quickly moved out of the way after feeling a slight threat coming from that kick.

Qin didn't stop there, seeing his attack fail; he put his left leg to the ground and twisted his waist, and attacked Ichiro with his left elbow.

Qin's left elbow was about to hit Ichiro's face, but Ichiro quickly pushed his head backward, avoiding the hit.

Qin wasn't done! Qin quickly did back kick towards Ichiro's unguarded torso.

Ichiro widened his eyes and saw that he can't block Qin's kick, decided to be prepared for the impact.

Qin's back kick successfully hit Ichiro, but in point of contact, Ichiro tightened his muscles, removing some of the impact and damage, but Ichiro was still sliding backward for a few meters.

*Phew*

Ichiro had to take a small breath to compose himself.

''Nice!'' Rywiol celebrated and Mick next to him looked with a grin. ''Haha, he isn't much after all.''

On another side of the arena, Lucas was looking slightly surprised and the club advisor looked with a clenched fist.

Students of Irio were looking very defeated and thought that this was as expected, they had small hope, but now it was crushed.

''Much stronger than I anticipated,'' Lucas told while looking at Qin.

''Why are you so relaxed?'' Club advisor asked Lucas, who only shrugged his shoulders and said like it was a fact. ''Of course, because Ichiro will win.''

''But isn't he losing?'' The club advisor asked with a confused tone.

Lucas looked at him with a grin and said.''Ichiro is trying to improve his close-quarters combat skills, that is why he is on losing edge because he isn't truly trying yet.''

''W-what?'' He asked confused and Lucas only said. ''Just look.''

The club advisor looked towards the arena and saw Ichiro and Qin start another round of fighting.

Qin rushed with a victorious smirk and reached close proximity to Ichiro.

Qin reached Ichiro and started another barrage of punches and kicks.

*Bam!* Another kick hit Ichiro backward, while some bruises started to form on his hands.

Then Qin with his silver hair rushed towards Ichiro, preparing to end this fight.

Qin did palm attack, but Ichiro blocked it with his left arm. Qin quickly grabbed from Ichiro's forearm, he then quickly pushed Ichiro towards himself and started kneeing Ichiro's body.

*Bam!* Loud sound of flesh getting hit resounded in the stadium, but Ichiro managed to get his right arm to block incoming knee, but it made his right arm sting in pain.

''Hmph!'' Qin snorted and dragged Ichiro's arm towards the right, which made Ichiro completely defenseless.

Qin then raised his left arm and punched Ichiro's face.

*Bam!* Ichiro's head was knocked backward, while some blood started flowing from his mouth.

''Not good!'' Club advisor yelled and Lucas said with a sigh. ''Just relax!''

''How can I relax, he is getting his ass kicked!'' Club advisor yelled.

'Ichiro sure looks pathetic now, I will make fun of him later.' Lucas smirked.

''Alright Ichiro, stop fucking around!'' Lucas yelled with a smirk.

Qin was still having full control of the fight, but then Ichiro heard Lucas shout.

''Tsk!'' Ichiro clicked his tongue and then saw Qin approach with another punch with his left arm.

*Bam* Qin's fist again made contact with Ichiro's face and made Ichiro's face again blow backward, until it suddenly stopped.

''?'' Qin looked in confusion, then he saw Ichiro moving his head forwards and saw his smile with his teeth full of blood.

''Did you have your fun?'' Qin heard Ichiro's voice which made his back have cold sweat.

Ichiro smirked and forcefully took his left arm from Qin's hold.

Qin widened his eyes, but he only saw a blur of Ichiro's right arm and after that, his head was forcefully pushed backward.

*Spurt!* Ichiro punched with his right arm towards Qin, which made his head push backward while his nose was furiously bleeding.

''What?!'' the Club advisor yelled in confusion.

''Take a seat and relax, this is getting bloody,'' Lucas smirked

In Hiena's stand, Mick and Rywiol stood up in shock.

Rywiol said with shock. ''What the fuck was that?''

''Such speed…'' Mick murmured with a pale face.

While in the stands of Armya, Slych also stood up with a huge grin.

''What is it Slych?'' Armya's third member also known as Evol asked from Slych.

''Keep your eyes open boys, you are in for a show.'' Slych grinned and Evol and Rawal looked at Slych with surprise.

Back to the match, Qin wiped the blood from his nose and looked towards Ichiro with surprise.

''H-how!'' Qin asked with a loud yell.

Ichiro smirked and rushed towards Qin and reached him within a second. ''Let me show you.'' Ichiro said coldly and stood next to Qin, who was frozen in shock.

Ichiro then used his right leg to trip Qin over, which made Qin fall to his butt.

''!'' Qin finally noticed his predicament and quickly stood up and went to his back stance.

Ichiro looked at Qin with a slight smile and rushed again towards Qin.

Ichiro wanted to have Close Quarters match against Qin!

Qin furrowed his brows in confusion and wondered why Ichiro wanted to go to a disadvantage.

Ichiro attacked with his palm, Qin quickly crossed his arms and defended Ichiro's palm strike.

Ichiro then twisted his waist and attacked with his left elbow, aiming at Qin's face.

Qin quickly put his right arm to block it, but it made his right arm bleed a little bit.

''H-he is copying me!'' Qin thought aloud with a pale face.

'Weak… my Iron Style's palm attack would have crushed his defense to pieces.' Ichiro thought to himself.

''Stop playing around!'' Qin roared and attacked Ichiro.

[Kin Pierce!] Qin again attacked with his front kick with toes aimed at Ichiro's torso.

Ichiro looked at the incoming attack and dodged it swiftly.

*Sigh* Ichiro sighed, seeing Qin's weak attack.

Ichiro also had a similar move in his Iron Style, but it was way more deadly and faster than Qin's.

Qin again rushed to close proximity of Ichiro, trying to make it physical.

[Kin Catapult!] Qin attacked Ichiro's jaw with his back palm, hoping to dislocate it.

'Interesting.' Ichiro thought to himself and then his eyes started having blue-tinted rings around his iris.

[Weakness Detection Eye!] It was Ichiro's first time using his Weakness Detection in this fight and he instantly saw flaws of Qin's attack and it had multiple of them.

*Grab!* Before Qin's back palm could hit Ichiro's jaw. Ichiro decided to simply grab his forearm, instantly cutting off Qin's momentum in his attack, back palm hit Ichiro's jaw, but since Ichiro took off his momentum, it didn't even tickle him.

''Damn!'' Qin roared in anger and tried to shake off Ichiro's hold.

Ichiro then raised his left leg and did a front kick towards Qin's right leg.

*Crack!* Ichiro's front kick hit Qin's right leg around his knee, which made a cracking sound and Qin's leg was obviously broken.

''AARRGHH!* Qin roared in pain and was about to fall to the ground, but Ichiro still hold him from his forearm.

''F-fuck y…'' Qin was about to curse, but he couldn't in time and Ichiro moved his left arm towards Qin's middle finger and another crack sound was made.

*Crack!* Qin's middle finger was now broken.

''ARGGGGGGH…'' Qin roared in pain and was about to pass out, but Ichiro was planning to make another move.

''MATCH OVER!'' but suddenly referee roared loudly and made his way towards Ichiro, pushing him off Qin.

''Warning 1 for Team Irio!'' the referee loudly declared.

''For what?'' Ichiro asked with furrowed brows.

''For injuring your opponent after he surrendered!'' the referee told with a loud yell.

''Surrendered? When?'' Ichiro asked innocently.

''He obviously gave signs of surrendering!'' the referee argued with a red face.

''Dude, how the hell should I know when someone is about to surrender, he was fucking screaming and making weird noises.''

''Don't make excuses!'' His face turned even angrier.

''Liam made signs of surrendering too when he was being strangled by Mick if you didn't notice, he even fucking looked at and you did nothing, anything to mention about that?'' Ichiro asked from a red-faced referee.

''Don't change the subject! Warning 2 for Irio for arguing against referee!'' He roared loudly.

''Heh.'' Ichiro was about to walk towards the referee until he felt a strong hand on his shoulder.

He looked to his side and saw Lucas looking at him. ''That's enough, like a certain wise man said, a difference of genius and stupidity is that; genius has its limits.'' Ichiro heard Lucas and roared in laughter.

''Fuck off Lucas, being wise doesn't work for you,'' Ichiro smirked and walked off from the arena.

''Tsk.'' Lucas clicked his tongue and left a dumbfounded referee in the arena alone, who was planning to get Ichiro to beg for the removal of warnings.

''Was that necessary?'' The club advisor asked and Ichiro looked at him and said. ''Yep, pretty much.'' The club advisor let out a huge sigh after that.

''Your turn Lucas~ Don't lose,'' Ichiro said towards Lucas who was standing in front of him.

''Yeah yeah,'' Lucas said while rolling his eyes.

Ichiro then looked towards Hiena's stand, who looked with extremely angry expressions towards him.

Ichiro then started waving again, until his wave, magically turned as middle finger again.

''FUCKER!'' Ichiro heard Mick's loud scream and then he sat down on his chair with a relaxed expression.
