Japan

Kazuo was in his supervisors office getting chewed out again, it had been 3 days since the match with Lihito

Supervisor:UNACCEPTABLE!

He slammed his fist down on his desk

Supervisor:HOW MANY YEARS HAVE YOU BEEN WORKING FOR THIS COMPANY MR.YAMASHITA?! WHAT DO YOU TAKE THIS COMPANY FOR?! WELL?!?!

His colleagues easily overheard their supervisor yelling

Coworker:hey, what's he getting mad at Mr.Yamashita for?

Coworker:can't you tell? He's probably just taking out his frustrations on him.

Coworker:I don't think he can handle that Mr.Yamashita was called by Mr.Nogi, himself.

Coworker:damn, that's petty, but with all that being said, you think he's wasting his effort? With his victim looking like that?

In the office, Kazuo was totally zoned out and wasn't even bowing his head

Supervisor:FOR GOD SAKE! DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME, YAMASHITA?!?!

Kazuo:h-huh? Did you say something?

His supervisor stood up and slammed his hands on his desk

The door to the stairwell opened and (y/n) walked into the office wearing a dark blue long sleeve shirt and black sweats

(Y/n):*this place smells like him...*

Supervisor:WERE YOU IGNORING ME?! DO YOU REALIZE I AM YOUR SUPERVISOR?!?!

Kazuo:*my every day life hasn't changed all that much...(Y/n) never calls me to assist him so I just go back to work. I've started noticing how I don't react to some people anymore, like how I'd bow my head to this man. Am I just not affected by him anymore? Perhaps it's because I've seen so many surreal things in such a short time?*

He remembered the freighting presences that Kamada, Ivan and Lihito had around them

Kazuo:*or maybe...I've become desensitized to regular people after seeing them...*

(Y/n) started walking towards the yelling on the opposite side of the office as all Kazuo's colleagues noticed him

Male coworker:who's that? We getting a transfer hire?

Male coworker:aww come on, we don't need a pretty boy in here.

Female coworker:do you think he's single?

(Y/n) walked into the doorway of the supervisors office

(Y/n):Oi, Kazuo Yamashita. This is where you've been?

He leaned in the doorway as Kazuo turned around and went pale as a ghost

Kazuo:*WHAT'S HE DOING HERE?!?!*

Supervisor:who are you?! Can't you see this is a private discussion?!

(Y/n) started rubbing his ear

(Y/n):Jeez, he's also really loud.

Kazuo quickly walked up to him and tried to usher him out of the doorway

Kazuo:y-you shouldn't be here! P-Please leave quickly!

(Y/n):eh? Why's that?

Kazuo:how did you even get in here? There's security out front and you don't have a guest badge.

(Y/n):huh? Oh those guys?

In the main lobby, 4 bloody security guards were lying on the ground out cold

(Y/n):they're alive. Why?

Supervisor:EXCUSE ME! IF YOU DON'T LEAVE NOW I'M CALLING THE POLICE!

(Y/n):eh? Alright.

He stood upright and turned around

(Y/n):Kazuo Yamashita, let's get food.

He started walking away as Kazuo started sweating profusely

Kazuo:*I-I wish he would've at least texted me...*

He sheepishly walked after the fighter as his supervisor looked like he was about to blow a gasket

Supervisor:KAZUO YAMASHITA! I AM NOT DONE WITH YOU!!!

(Y/n) stopped and looked over his shoulder

The supervisor ran into his doorway as he met (y/n)'s gaze

Supervisor:*t-those eyes...*

His legs started trembling and then gave out from under him as (y/n) slowly walked over and knelt down in front of the supervisor

(Y/n):do we have a problem?

Supervisor:*wh-why does it feel like...HIS HANDS ARE AROUND MY NECK?!*

The eyes are the window to the soul, in the eyes of this martial artist...is violence itself!

The supervisor started stammering as he tried to catch his breath

Supervisor:N-N-N-N...no...

(Y/n) stood up like nothing happened and walked past Kazuo

(Y/n):Alright, let's go.

Kazuo was sweating profusely as he followed after (y/n)

Kazuo:*th-this man will be the death of me! It's like he has no social anxiety whatsoever!*

Male coworker:you think he's a bodyguard for Mr.Nogi or something?

Male coworker:you gotta hand it to Mr.Yamashita, he's in his 50's but still climbing the corporate ladder.

Just before they reached the door, one of Kazuo's female coworkers stepped in front of the door, she was a fairly attractive Japanese woman in her mid 20's by the look of her

Female coworker:excuse me...I was wondering if I could get your number?

She held out her smart phone shyly to (y/n)

Kazuo:wh-what?

He slowly looked to (y/n) who had a blank expression

(Y/n):number?

Female coworker:y-yes!

He tilted his head in confusion

(Y/n):I don't have one of those.

He pointed at her phone

Kazuo:*wh-what? He doesn't have even have a flip phone?*

(Y/n) tried to walk around her

Female coworker:I-I wanna know your address then!

She tried getting in his way when (y/n) started glaring at her

(Y/n):You're annoying. Get lost.

She slowly backed away from the door as (y/n) walked into the stairwell with Kazuo following behind him

(Y/n):you haven't stopped by at all Kazuo Yamashita. I was starting to think you'd forgotten about me.

He proceeded down the stairs with his hands in his pockets

Kazuo:I-I'm sorry! I was waiting for you to call or text me!

He started following (y/n) down the stairs but was a few steps behind

(Y/n):well I don't have a phone.

Kazuo:...m-may I ask you...why?

(Y/n) suddenly stopped and turned around

(Y/n):they give me a headache. Why would I do something that annoys or doesn't have a purpose?

Kazuo:*th-thats right! (Y/n) is as close to a primitive human as it gets! If something doesn't benefit him, or it effects him negatively he'll discard it all together! I should've expected this! That's why he doesn't care what anyone thinks of him!*

(Y/n) started walking again

(Y/n):Now let's get food. The fish I had this morning are killing my stomach.

Kazuo:*you know, when I look at it this way, being his manager doesn't seem so bad...he's kinda scary sometimes but he's stronger then most people on the street, and the chairman gives me special treatment too.*

(Y/n):also, tonight. That woman told me I have another fight.

Kazuo:wh-what? But it hasn't even been a week yet? And...who do you mean by "Woman"?

(Y/n):huh?

He turned around confused

(Y/n):uhhh...

He put his fist to the side of his head pressed it against himself twice

(Y/n):that uh...the blonde one.

Kazuo:yo-you mean Miss Akiyama?

(Y/n) snapped his finger and pointed at Kazuo

(Y/n):yeah that one, the lady with the big chest.

Kazuo:*I hope it's not someone as scary as Lihito...*

Later that night, in a parking garage, Kazuo was in a large crowd surrounding the two Kengan fighters of the night

Kazuo:*TH-THIS IS MUCH WORSE!!!*

He saw the monster (y/n) was fighting, Hell's Angel, Jun Sekibayashi

Sekibayashi was a towering wall of muscle at 196cm tall, just one cm taller then (y/n) but Sekibayashi was 311 pounds while (y/n) was 226

Sekibayashi had a heavy muscular frame befitting a legendary pro wrestler, he had scars scattered across his body and cauliflower ears which was a common occurrence for his profession, his hair went down to the back of his neck and was styled like cornrows

The referee walked into the fighting circle, it was the same man from the fight with Lihito

Referee:today! We have a Kengan match between Gandai! And the Nogi Group!

He pointed towards (y/n)

Referee:the Nogi Group's competitor! (Y/n) Yu!

Nobody was cheering for him

The Kengan Matches, only certain chosen employees and those involved are permitted to observe. These fights are held in a manner that keeps the average person from learning of their existence. Their unique and exotic nature fires up the employees and vast amounts of money changes hands as a result.

Kazuo looked around at the crowd but saw no familiar faces

Kazuo:the chairman and Miss Akiyama sure are late...the match is about to begin.

He looked at the massive pro wrestler across from (y/n)

Kazuo:but wow...I still can't believe it. (Y/n)'s opponent today is actually him.

Referee:He is going up against! Gandai's competitor! JUN SEKIBAYASHI!!!!!!

The pro wrestler raised his fist into the air as the crowd started cheering for Sekibayashi

Japans super pro wrestler, Hell's Angel, from death matches to classic pro wrestling matches. He's the Go-To ace of the major corporations for Japanese Super Pro Wrestling, and a big name in the world of combat sports

Kazuo:*It's public combat sports against underworld martial arts! This matches importance can't be understated and I'd be lying if I said I didn't want to see this!*

The two fighters walked right up to each other with a smirk following their introductions

(Y/n):it's about time I found someone my size in this country.

Sekibayashi:Yo rookie, keep one thing in mind. Don't go lumping me in with all those other guys you've fought up till now. I'm the first true warrior you'll have fought.

He slowly raised his fist and bumped it against his own jaw

Sekibayashi:in these Kengan Matches.

Referee:Fighters! In position!!

Neither one raised their guard

Referee:OKAY! AT THE READY!!

He raised his hand into the air

Referee:AND FIGHT!!!

He swung his arm down signaling the start of the match

Sekibayashi:Now then-

(Y/n) threw a right cross into Sekibayashi's cheek, Sekibayashi leaned back with (y/n)'s fist still planted in his cheek

(Y/n):jeez, you sportsmen don't know the difference between a show and a fight. Talking out the get-go is asking to get taken out.

Sekibayashi suddenly grabbed (y/n)'s wrist with his left hand as he slowly turned his head back towards (y/n) with a grin

Sekibayashi:Sorry, talking is pretty much an occupational hazard.

Sekibayashi turned and threw (y/n) over his shoulder and slammed him onto the ground, Sekibayashi raised his left leg and slammed it down but (y/n) rolled out of the way just in time to dodge

(Y/n) kicked himself up and assumed his fighting stance

Sekibayashi:nice reactions.

Kazuo:*a-an arm whip? That's a classic technique.*

Sekibayashi threw a right chop as (y/n) side stepped to the pro wrestlers left side and swung his right leg into Sekibayashi's ribs

Sekibayashi threw a left haymaker which (y/n) ducked under and then threw a right straight into Sekibayashi's face which barely even moved the pro wrestler

Kazuo:(y/n)'s blows barely slow him down! He's even tankier than Lihito.

He watched as (y/n) ducked under another one of Sekibayashi's chops and threw a two piece jab to the pro wrestlers right side, but Sekibayashi was still grinning

Sekibayashi:*yeah that's it, keep it up.*

(Y/n):*this guys a total brute.*

Sekibayashi threw a left straight which (y/n) swayed back to dodge as the pro wrestler started leaning to the left

(Y/n):*he knocked himself off balance.*

(Y/n) pulled back his right fist when Sekibayashi slammed his right foot into (y/n)'s stomach and sent him crashing into the front bumper of a car more then 15 feet away

With the car alarm going off (y/n) started coughing from the sudden impact as the referee rushed over

Kazuo:*what an unusual kick! To be able to send a massive guy like (y/n) flying like that! This is the Pro Wrestler, Jun Sekibayashi!*

Refers:can you continue?!

(Y/n) started getting up and shoved the referee away as he looked back towards Sekibayashi who was standing at the center of the ring with his trademark grin

(Y/n):*this feeling...it's the first time since I've gotten here that...*

He started grinning as he retook his stance

(Y/n):*THAT I'VE FELT THE EXHILARATION OF A REAL FIGHT!!*

He started moving back towards the center of the ring

Sekibayashi:go ahead. Use your options to the fullest.

(Y/n):huh? What's that? Options?

The Pro wrestler began chuckling

Sekibayashi:that's right, you all have options. You kinda fighters have the option to run away. You can take it, you can dodge, or you can even hide. You can do whatever it takes to protect yourselves! On the other hand, us Wrestlers have only duties! Whether it's a blunt weapon, a knife or even a bomb. Pro Wrestlers have only the duty of facing it head on and dealing with it!

He slammed his hand against his chest

Sekibayashi:those are your options...and my duties.

He spread his arms out to the side

Sekibayashi:Now! Exercise your options all you like! You amateur!

Kazuo went slack jawed

Kazuo:*he-he's...he's looking down on us. He basically just said that everyone other than Pro Wrestlers are useless!*

He slowly looked towards (y/n) who wasn't smiling anymore

(Y/n):...so then, you won't dodge or block any attack no matter what I do...is that right?

The pro wrestler smirked as if confirming his statement

(Y/n) walked right up to Sekibayashi

Sekibayashi:oh? Close quarters your cup of tea?

(Y/n) reached up towards the Pro Wrestlers chin and plucked a hair from what little facial hair he had

Sekibayashi:the hell're you doin'?!

He swatted (y/n)'s hand away as he started chuckling

(Y/n):looks like I got you to forsake your duties. After all, didn't you just run away from pain, just now?

The Pro Wrestler gritted his teeth as he raised his arm into the air, he was totally furious and about to rip (y/n)'s head off

Sekibayashi:your a comedian, huh?!

He swung his arm down hammer fist style as (y/n) flipped back onto his hands dodging the attack as he tucked his knees up to his chest, (y/n) slammed both feet into Sekibayashi's chin making the Pro Wrestler stumble back

Kazuo:Yes! Even Sekibayashi will feel an attack like that!

(Y/n) flipped himself upright as he threw a left jab to Sekibayashi's jaw, then he threw a second jab which also landed

Kazuo:that's it! Push him back!

(Y/n) opened his right hand and threw a punch into Sekibayashi's stomach causing the Pro Wrestler to hunch over

(Y/n) swung his right leg for a low kick into Sekibayashi's left knee

Kazuo:Yeah Finish him off!!

The pro wrestler continued stumbling in a daze as (y/n) threw a right cross into Sekibayashi's ribs, he pulled back his left fist when Sekibayashi ducked and wrapped his arms around (y/n)'s waist

(Y/n):*wh-what?*

Sekibayashi:alright, I think I've let you have your fun.

The Pro Wrestler stood up totally unaffected by (y/n)'s weight as he hoisted (y/n) to his shoulder

Sekibayashi:you should know one thing, Pro Wrestlers are...

A devilish grin crossed his lips

Sekibayashi:VERY SKILLED ACTORS!

He proceeded to slam (y/n) down onto the concrete making which cracked the ground under his back

Kazuo:*I-I've never heard that sound before...that was the sound...of flesh hitting concrete...

(Y/n) coughed up blood

(Y/n):*sh-shit, that knocked the wind outta me...can't breath...*

Referee:Yu! Yu! Can you continue?!

Sekibayashi:Oi! On your feet!

He grabbed (y/n) by his hair and propped him up against his massive legs

Sekibayashi:Alright everyone! Let's hear it!!

He raised his arms for the crowd as they started chanting his name in rhythm

Sekibayashi squatted down and wrapped his arms around (y/n) from behind as he stood up and began leaning back

Kazuo:Get out of that!!!

Sekibayashi suplexed (y/n) head first into the concrete yet again

Sekibayashi raised his lower body into the air and flipped himself over (y/n) and started standing back up while still holding his opponent

Sekibayashi:and one more for the road!

He proceeded to Suplex (y/n) yet again and slammed his opponent head first into the ground

Kazuo:n-no (y/n)! Wh-what?

He saw (y/n)'s eyes were shut

Kazuo:*di-did he black out?!*

Sekibayashi stood up again the same way he did before and grabbed (y/n) by the head as he looked around at the crowd

Sekibayashi:come on! I can't hear you!!

The crowd started cheering louder as he raised (y/n) to his feet and let go, before (y/n) fell Sekibayashi slammed his forearm into his opponent which clotheslined (y/n) into doing a backflip and he landed on his face

Kazuo:s-someone needs to stop this...

???:that's the way! Sekibayashi!

Kazuo looked to his right and saw a drunk jovial man with plump rosy cheeks with matted hair in casual office worker clothes

Tubby guy:hey kid you outta be tapping out about now! You can't win! So give up before ya get killed!

(Y/n):me? Lose? Not gonna happen. The version of me that would've accepted that way of think? I killed him a long time ago.

Kazuo clenched his fists

Kazuo:take it back!

Tubby guy:huh?

Kazuo grabbed his collar

Kazuo:what you just said! Take it back!

Tubby guy:huh? Wait who're you?

Kazuo gritted his teeth

Kazuo:(y/n) won't lose this. Even if his opponent is a monster like Sekibayashi! He doesn't lose!

The tubby guy looked confused

Tubby guy:eh? You really believe that? But how can you win in that shape?

He looked back to the match, (y/n) was on the floor and Sekibayashi was on the far side of the ring, the Pro Wrestler ran across the ring and body slammed (y/n)

Tubby guy:Sorry to say, but his chances are less then zero.

Kazuo:you don't understand! (Y/n) Yu would never meet his end here! No matter the odds I know he'll win! That's just who he is!

Tubby guy:uh sorry to interrupt but...isn't your friend about to get taken out?

Sekibayashi:TIME TO END THIS?! WHAT DO YOU SAY?!

The crowd started cheering as Kazuo looked back to the ring and saw Sekibayashi had (y/n) across his shoulders in a backbreaker

Kazuo:n-no! That's Sekibayashi's killer move! The Argentine Backbreaker! Th-this can't be...(y-(y/n) you gotta...you gotta move now!

The crowd all started chanting the same thing "break him"

11 years ago, China

(Y/n) was lying on the floor of a dojo with his mentor standing over him, but the room was very dark

(Y/n) was covered in bruises and cuts, his left eye was swollen shut, his left shoulder was dislocated and the fingers on his right hand were all broken

Jiang:fail.

(Y/n):then what am I supposed to do?!

Jiang slowly knelt down with the same crazy look in his eyes that he'd have later in Japan

Jiang:sometimes in situations like this, you can only do one thing...

A devilish grin crossed her lips

Jiang:Fight.

Present day, Japan

Sekibayashi started squeezing (y/n) over his back as his left eye started to open

(Y/n):*shit...*

An odd low chuckle that only Sekibayashi could hear started emanating from (y/n)'s own mouth

Sekibayashi:huh?

(Y/n) suddenly slammed his left elbow and left knee against Sekibayashi's neck with a devilish grin

Sekibayashi:wh-what the?!

He grabbed his opponents arm and leg and started trying to pry his new hold open

Kazuo:*Yes! He woke up just in time!*

Sekibayashi:*what is this? Where'd this sudden strength come from? I-I can't pry him off! In that case-!*

He ran over towards a car and jumped into the air as (y/n) leapt off the Pro Wrestler and landed at the center of the ring

Sekibayashi slammed onto the hood as the alarm started going off

Sekibayashi:*h-he got out of my hold? But how did...*

He looked at his right hand and saw his middle, ring and pinky finger were all dislocated

Sekibayashi:what did...what did you do?

He looked to the center of the ring where (y/n) was standing alone

Kazuo:his fingers are...

(Y/n):what did I do, you ask? I took them off...

Sekibayashi:hmm? took what off?

(Y/n) started raising his head, his eyes were a deep bloodshot red to the point they almost went black, veins were bulging from all across his body and his muscles even looked more defined

(Y/n):My Shackles!

He leapt towards Sekibayashi at incredible speed and threw a right haymaker to the Pro Wrestlers temple which knocked him off balance

(Y/n) started throwing a flurry of left and right blows to Sekibayashi's face but he didn't raise his guard as (y/n) pushed him back

Kazuo:I-Incredible...

Tubby guy:he's really pushing him back?

Spectator:he's shoving back a guy who's got almost 50kg more weight then him!

Sekibayashi threw a right hook as (y/n) didn't even try to block or dodge it and started whaling away at the Pro Wrestlers torso

Kazuo:*wa-wait a second, that fighting style is...it's not (y/n)'s normal one!*

Sekibayashi continued taking the onslaught of (y/n)'s punches while getting pushed back inch by inch

Spectator:what're this come from?!

Sekibayashi got punched in the mouth and started grinning again

Sekibayashi:*this jerk...you just made things way more interesting!!!*

In the blur of (y/n)'s punches, (y/n) threw an uppercut which caused Sekibayashi to lean back and (y/n) began whaling away at the Pro Wrestlers torso again

Sekibayashi:*I just might be in trouble...with these fingers. But this is the best! Because the further I'm pushed into a corner!*

He leaned back upright and kicked (y/n) in the chest making him slide back a few feet but (y/n) kept his footing

Sekibayashi:*THE MORE EXCITED THE AUDIENCE GETS!!!*

Kazuo:*all those blows and he's still standing?!*

(Y/n) rushed back and threw a right cross to Sekibayashi's jaw

Sekibayashi:*what the hell? Does this guy even feel pain?*

(Y/n) went back to throwing a barrage of blows to Sekibayashi's torso and chest

Spectator:Yu just keep swinging!

Spectator:and Sekibayashi just takes it all!!

Spectator:it's a messed up battle of patience!!

Spectator:that's gotta be at least 8 punches a second!

Spectator:no way! It's way more then that!

Spectator:hey look! At Sekibayashi!

Sekibayashi was slowly walking forward despite being hammered with blows

Spectator:he keeps going! That's Jun Sekibayashi for ya! He never quits!

(Y/n) threw a high kick to the Pro Wrestlers head making him stumble back

Spectator:he couldn't withstand that kick!

Spectator:this is awesome!

Kazuo:*I-I knew it, this is totally different from his usual fighting style, (y/n)'s normal style is graceful, almost beautiful with how he dances around his opponents. But this is like...a cornered animal fighting for its life!*

Very few in the crowd could actually follow the onslaught of (y/n)'s blows, one of them being a big name in the Kengan Matches, Takeshi Wakatsuki

Wakatsuki was a massive man around the same height as (y/n) and extremely well built, he had short blonde hair and a goatee, he wore form fitting clothes which showed his amazing physique

???:Yo, Wakatsuki?

The stoic Wakatsuki looked to his side and saw another fairly popular Kengan match competitor, Cosmo Imai

Cosmo was a short young man, he was well built for a young fighter with a blonde bob cut

Cosmo:Hey, how's it going? Long time no see.

Wakatsuki:Hey.

Cosmo walked over and started watching the fight with his taller blonde friend

Cosmo:wow take a look at this guy. He's going blow for blow with Sekibayashi, powers gotta be nuts, wouldn't wanna be on the receiving end of those punches, heh.

They watched Sekibayashi punched (y/n) in the face as (y/n) continued whaling away at the Pro Wrestler like a madman

Cosmo:only a few people I'd say could do that.

Wakatsuki:no, that's not entirely right. It's torque.

Cosmo:torque?

Wakatsuki:right, that's increased isn't just power, but speed as well. Force equals mass times acceleration, so if his mass stays the same, it's speed that increases.

Cosmo:I...don't get it.

Wakatsuki:it's like how a bullet, instead of making them larger to pierce body armor, they make it faster. So his speed is increased.

Cosmo:whoa big guy, seems you think of some pretty complicated stuff while you fight, huh?

Wakatsuki:or you think too little.

He started clenching his fists while leaving his arms crossed

Wakatsuki:but that's not just the case for why it doesn't make sense, even his power has gone up...what did he do...?

Cosmo:you say something?

Wakatsuki:...it's nothing. But since his fight with Lihito, Yu has changed a lot.

Kazuo continued watched the fight as (y/n) had yet to stop unleashing his constant barrage of blows

Kazuo:*this is a side I've never seen to him, is this (y/n)'s...true identity?!*

(Y/n) punched Sekibayashi in the mouth again making him stumble back

Spectator:it's finally working! He can't take much more!

Spectator:defend yourself!

Spectator:Sekibayashi do something! I've got a lot of money riding on you!

Sekibayashi's grin still never left his face

Sekibayashi:*tch, you don't get it do you, kid?*

(Y/n) stepped forward and continued throwing punches to Sekibayashi's chest

Sekibayashi:*that pro wrestler...can take these blow...*

He grabbed (y/n) by both sides of his head

Sekibayashi:AND KEEP GOING!!!

He violently head butted his opponent as the Pro wrestler tried to shove him away (y/n) grabbed Sekibayashi's head and head butted him in return making Sekibayashi the one to stumble back

Despite (y/n) grinning, that headbut created a hairline fracture at the front of his skull

(Y/n) lunged forward as Sekibayashi started getting dizzy and (y/n) punched him in the face but Sekibayashi pushed through and kicked his opponent in the stomach sending him to the other side of the ring

(Y/n) slammed down on his back, that kick cracked two of his ribs, Sekibayashi took a knee and started trying to catch his breath

Spectator:alright! Sekibayashi is making a comeback!

Spectator:second wind! Let's go!!!

(Y/n) raised his legs into the air and flipped himself up onto his feet with his grin never leaving his bloody face

Sekibayashi stood back up with his showmanship returning

Sekibayashi:this is no time for laying around, Yu! Alright everyone! Time to end this!

He flexed his left bicep and slapped it with his damaged right hand

Half the crowd was cheering for Sekibayashi but the rest were cheering for (y/n)

Kazuo:(y/n)! You can't take another hit like that!

His screams were drowned out completely

The Pro Wrestler pointed at his opponent who's eyes started turning back to normal

Sekibayashi:YOUR ALL MINE!

He ran across the ring as (y/n) opened his right fist

(Y/n):*East Hemisphere...*

He spread his feet apart

Sekibayashi:HERE I COME!

(Y/n) pulled back his right arm

Sekibayashi threw a right haymaker as (y/n) tilted his head to the side as the blow grazed his head and slammed his open right hand into Sekibayashi's chest

The two stood there frozen for a moment

Spectator:what happened?!

Sekibayashi's eyes rolled back as the pro wrestler fell back and slammed to the ground

(Y/n):Crimson Lotus...

In the back m, wakatsuki was caught off guard by the attack and stopped leaning against the concrete pillar

Spectator:what the hell was that?!

Cosmo:do you recognize that?

Wakatsuki:at the end there...that was...Shengli.

Cosmo:shang...what? What did he do?

Spectator:he knocked out Sekibayashi with one blow?

(Y/n) slowly lowered his arm, his wrist was broken

Referee:Sekibayashi! Sekibayashi?!?! Can you continue?!

The Pro Wrestler was out cold

Kazuo:*what did he do? I couldn't see from here. But...that kind of counter! It's exactly (y/n)'s style!*

Referee:MATCH OVER! WINNER! NOGI GROUP'S (Y/N) YU!

The crowd started cheering

Kazuo:h-he did it...YES! HE DID IT!

He jumped up in celebration while Cosmo still couldn't understand what happened

Cosmo:what's what's this Shengli thing?

Wakatsuki:it's...Chinese, I didn't think it made it past the first generation. But that strike at the end was picture perfect.

Cosmo:I don't get it. How'd a punch knock him out in one blow?

Wakatsuki:what I think happened was...he caused the Hering Breuer reflex. It a reflex of the respiratory system. This allows the vagus nerve to regulate respiratory. But the sudden application of pressure to the lungs during inhalation, Causes the Vagus nerve to malfunction and stopped the flow of blood towards the brain, resulting in unconsciousness.

Cosmo:sounds powerful, how come I've never heard of that?

Wakatsuki:because it's unheard of, using it in actual combat. But if anyone could develop a move to do it...it would've been her.

(Y/n) started clutching his wrist and shoved it back into place

(Y/n):*damn it...I couldn't do it.*

On the ground, Sekibayashi was still grinning despite being unconscious

(Y/n):*I'll have to rethink my opinion on Pro Wrestling...or at the very least, this man.*

Kazuo:*He hasn't changed at all. That animalistic battle instincts and graceful precision, this is his true nature! I'm sure of it now!*

(Y/n) placed his hand over his left ear, Sekibayashi's punch grazed him, in fact...it nearly severed his entire ear

(Y/n):*even after getting knocked out cold, I couldn't get him to block a punch or stop grinning.*

The tubby guy Kazuo was arguing with placed a hand on his shoulder

Tubby guy:oh man, you got me. You got a good eye for this stuff pal.

Kazuo:o-oh it was nothing. Thank you.

Tubby guy:I've taken a liking to you. What'd you say? Let's go have some Saké sometime.

Kazuo:a-a drink?

The tubby man slowly walked off into the crowd and vanished

Kazuo:oh well, whatever. But first I should talk with (y/n).

An elderly voice rang out through the now silent crowd

???:Excellent.

(Y/n) looked over his shoulder in the direction it came from

Cosmo felt a chill run down his spine as wakatsuki tensed up

Wakatsuki:looks like his interest was peaked.

Standing in front of a car parked at the entrance to the parking garage was an elderly man in his 90's, his long white hair went down past his neck, with a thick white beard and mustache that was split in the middle wearing traditional high class Japanese robes

Elderly man:it was excellent.

Kazuo:who's that guy?

Spectator:chairman...

Spectator:Metsudo Katahara...

Kazuo:...kata...hara? IS THIS SOME KIND OF JOKE?!*

The chairman slowly walked towards the crowd with two bodyguards behind him as the spectators all made a clear path for him

Kazuo:*WHAT IS THE PRESIDENT OF DAINIPPON BANK DOING HERE?!*

Spectator:what is he...?

Spectator:...did he come here to watch the match?

Spectator:if he's here, then is Fang, also?

Cosmo:Wakatsuki, what do you think?

Wakatsuki:I have no idea. However...if the Kengan Associations president has made an appearance...then, there's no doubt it's an exceptional circumstance.

Nogi walked out of the crowd with Akiyama behind him

Nogi:president Katahara.

Katahara:oh, hello...Nogi.

Nogi:I'm grateful you would consider coming here in person. It's truly and honor.

Katahara glanced at (y/n)

Katahara:Nogi, you seem to have found a immaculate fighter. I'm sure you feel the same as well.

He looked back in (y/n)'s direction

A deep crunch came from behind the fighter as he turned around to see Sekibayashi on his feet putting his fingers back into place

Katahara: don't you, Sekibayashi?

The spectators were all shocked by the Pro Wrestler already being awake and on his feet

(Y/n):*he's up already? Even after I used Crimson Lotus...?*

Sekibayashi:he's really something else. Actually...I didn't expect to lose to him.

He put his last finger back into place

Sekibayashi:today, the victory is yours...(y/n).

(Y/n):*but if he's up already...the means that there's still so much more I can grow!*

He started grinning as president Katahara chuckled

Katahara:a seal of approval from Sekibayashi, that means your a genuine fighter. Anything to say...Shikano?

The Gandai chairman walked out from the crowd

Gen:of course. I have lost, Nogi. As promised, we at Gandai approve of the Nogi Group's proposal to initiate the Kengan association presidential promotion competition. So it shall be.

Everyone familiar with that term snapped their heads towards the chairmen

Kazuo:*what does that even mean? Why does everyone look so shocked?!*

Katahara nodded in approval

Katahara:the condition of 50 employees in order to begin the presidential promotion competition has now been met according to established rules. Which means...

He began radiating with an intense aura that made all non combatants begin sweating profusely

Katahara:YOU HAVE EARNED THE RIGHT TO FACE OFF AGAINST METSUDO KATAHARA!!!

Akiyama began trembling uncontrollably

Akiyama:*wh-what is this? This withered tree of an elderly man is spewing energy just like an erupting volcano....like some sort of overwhelming force trapped in a human vessel!*

Nogi wasn't as visibly distressed by Katahara but it was still apparent

Nogi:*seems his simple way of dealing with pressure is alive and well...no, at the ripe old age of 90 it's getting worse! Monstrous old man.*

Nogi:I am fully prepared. My 58th chairman of Kengan Association. Metsudo Katahara, I'm putting you on notice to leave your position.

Katahara burst into laughter

Katahara:you youngsters have such mouths! Enthralling! Just enthralling, Nogi! I accept your challenge! I, Metsudo Katahara will use everything at my disposal! SO I SAY COME AND CHALLENGE THE FANG OF METSUDO!

Wakatsuki:The Fang of Metsudo...

Sekibayashi:*The Fang...he doesn't seem to be here. How boring.

Spectator:The Fang?

Spectator:taking on him is totally insane...

Kazuo:*everyone seems so uneasy...*

He leaned over to one of his fellow spectators

Kazuo:excuse me, What is The Fang of Metsudo?

Spectator:what's that? You mean you don't know?

Kazuo:uh-uh no...

Spectator:he's the competitor who obeys Metsudo Katahara! He's rumored to be the strongest competitor in the history of the Kengan Matches!

Kazuo:th-the strongest?

Spectator:yeah! Fang's winning streak is 157 wins and 0 loses!

Wakatsuki:*Fang...*

He clenched his fists

Gen:Mr.President. Well then...?

Katahara:well...as of today. Right here and right now. As the chairman of the Kengan Association.

He slowly raised his withered right hand

Katahara:I DECLARE THE COMMENCEMENT OF THE KENGAN ANNIHILATION TOURNAMENT!!!!

Kazuo began sweating profusely

Kazuo:a-annihilation? Does he mean....t-to the death?

Cosmo:a tournament? I want in!! Maybe I can go and convince my boss!!!

Gen walked over to the pro wrestler and put his hand onto his shoulder

Gen:obviously our company will compete in this tournament as well. I'll be counting on you, Sekibayashi.

Sekibayashi:are you sure? You realize I just lost don't you?

Gen:yes I'm well aware, unfortunately I can't think of a competitor superior to you. Besides, aren't Pro Wrestling matches a best of 3?

Sekibayashi:best of 3? Ha! Just what era are you refereeing to?!

Katahara:HAHAHA! I can sense the rage from each of you! A wish that comes true just because you desire it isn't worth much. Those who desire value are always at the brink of annihilation! So who will it be?! Those who desire the title of Kengan Association president! Send your strongest fighter now to the annihilation tournament! Be they martial artist! A brawler! Or a murder! Their background won't be question! Defeat my Fang and claim the life that lies beyond annihilation for yourself!!!!!

(Y/n) started grinning

(Y/n):*A tournament? With people like this?! There'll be no way you can pass this up! CAN YOU?!*
