The Creature Hunter Vs The Undisputed Champion

As Genju slid back, he didn't try to get up. He just knelt down for a couple of seconds. Then he got up with the support of his sword and slowly lifted his head. Then he slowly took something out of his pocket and looked at it.

It was an MP3 player, and it had in-ear headphones next to him.

Orano looked at him with shocked eyes and said,

"How did you get those?"

"Oh, this? I bought it from a dealer a few years ago. He told me that, it was just standing on the floor. I didn't know there could be a box that magically carried melodies in it, and I thought only a sorcerer or a witch would do something like this. But there was no one in history who invented such a thing, so I stopped researching about it. And since then, I haven't solved its mystery, but it's been very useful to me."

Then he looked at Orano,

"But that's not the thing we should care about now, right? And it would be a big shame if we waited in battle."

He then slowly put on his headphones and slowly browsed the songs in it. Then he chose one and pressed the start button.

And the song started playing.

*It was all ten years ago.*

As usual, my friends were being beaten up by bullies in the street. All three of my friends were there and there were two bullies. 

"Come on! Why don't you fight back, huh?" They said as they kicked them.

It was a disgusting view.

And as soon as I saw them, I ran towards them and punched the one in front of me. Then I kicked the other one. Then they both tried to get behind my back and in front of me, to get me off guard. But I dodged their attacks and punched the first one again. 

And after I landed two more kicks to them, they finally stepped back.

The one on the left said,

"He is crazy. How can he fight like this?"

"We should come back another time. This kid is out of his mind!"

Then they ran away and left there.

They were like cowardly chickens. And I still didn't understand why they thought they were strong.

After that, when I looked back at my friends, I saw them lying against the wall. Two of them were crying and the third one was holding his arm. They had bruises on their bodies and one of my friends had broken his glasses.

I gritted my teeth from anger. I didn't know what I could have said there, So I just said,

"Why..."

"Genju?" One of them replied with a confused voice tone.

"Why didn't you fight back? Even though you knew you were right, Why didn't you fight back?"

He bowed this head, and as his glasses fell down on his nose, he then said with a quiet voice,

"We couldn't. I, couldn't. We didn't want to put our team into any danger."

He then added with a louder voice,

"There are so many of them, Genju. We can't fight with those bullies that go around with groups!"

"Yes, you're right. Maybe they outnumber us. And maybe they go around with dangerous groups. But does that helps you protect people?"

I couldn't hold my anger anymore, so I started shouting at them furiously, 

"Are we going to respond to such stupid people by being silent about it? Can't you see yourself? We can't win anything by doing this! Tell me how far we're going to go by crushing ourselves, Kalia! 

Don't you even remember what we did last week? We beat up an entire group together! They were so scared that they ran away crying!

I've been fighting these knuckleheads for almost weeks! I was glad I could finally protect you a little! But look at you now! You guys are all crying like babies!"

But they didn't say anything. They just bowed down their heads with disappointment and regret.

Every time I saw them like that, storms were breaking inside me. Even if I told them how many times they had to protect themselves, they wouldn't listen to me and kept getting crushed. And whenever they faced them, they still kept their mouths quiet against stupids like that and didn't even try once. 

They just kept silent just to be "safe".

I was going to show them that, If I could get strong, I can beat them. So I trained all of my life, just to show them the importance of "Power". I gained every experience from every fight. 

Just to be the greatest.

I hated always being or seeing anybody pathetic. I couldn't stand it anymore.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*You are an obstacle, just like my other opponents. But your anger at the situation and your relentless attacks prove just how seriously you take this. That's why you're a worthy opponent to me, Orano Tatsumi.*

Genju swung his sword to the right then looked at Orano once more.

On the other hand, Orano was looking at him too. But he gripped his sword and waited at a defensive position.

Genju smiled widely and said,

"This brings backs many memories."

Then he attacked Orano. But this time he was faster than before. He was so fast that Orano couldn't block some of his moves and took some cut wounds.

And when he was focused to block Genju's incoming attacks, Genju did the same as Orano and threw his sword at the ground. Then punched Orano in the stomach, grabbed his hair when he leaned forward, and punched him again.

And after he got stunned so many times, he continued to attack him with his sword. 

He wasn't stopping at all. He just tried to hit him every time he swung his sword.

But when they were getting far from each other, Orano gripped his sword strongly and looked at Genju with calm eyes. And when Genju attacked once again, he swung his sword and acted like he was going to hit with his sword.

Seeing an open spot of Tatsumi, Genju smiled widely and said to himself,

*Too Slow!*

And when he was going to land a blow, their swords collided once more, and Orano's sword flew into the air again.

But when Genju thought he had the advantage and was about to say,

"Like I said you-"

Orano hit him in the stomach with his knee. And when he leaned forward, he hit under his chin with his knee and when his head fell backward, he pulled his hair, pulled his head towards him, and hit his face with his knee too.

Then he landed on the ground and kicked him, making him slid backward and making his MP3 fly away.

They were once again staring at each other. But they both knew that they had to make the finishing move. And they both had, the want to battle and the flame of revenge in their eyes.
