________Yuji Pov_________

The moment my punches reached him, Kanoh easily blocked them all with his forearm, my expression turning sour as I walked away.

Even if he was a monster, I was not weak. As far as I knew, my punches were strong enough to crumple a truck and destroy thick concrete walls with ease. To see someone else block them was shocking, not to say frightening.

Advancing again, I quickly attacked with two blows to the face, easily blocked as before. This time, instead of retreating, I quickly moved toward him and grabbed his wrist, using all the strength in my body to pull his arm and open his defense.

"That won't work."

I heard him say, clenching my jaw as I felt his body refusing to give in against my force.

"You are too weak to pull me."

Releasing him, I put my arms in front of my face, one punch hitting my forearms hard enough to open my defense while pushing me backward.

'Fuck! I felt as if he hit my bones directly.' I thought, my forehead furrowed in pain as I watched purple bruises form on the spot.

Turning my gaze to Kanoh, I watched as he advanced toward me at insane speed, my guard high as I immediately prepared myself.

Boom!

Seconds before a fist hit me in the rib, I narrowly blocked it with my elbow, a groan of pain escaping my mouth as I felt a fracture forming. Propelling myself backward to escape his grasp, I was taken aback when he easily followed me and launched two quick punches toward my face.

'Such fast casual punches!'

Deflecting the first's trajectory with difficulty, I ducked just as the second approached, quickly closing the distance between him and me, grabbing the back of his neck. At the same time, with the other hand I immobilized one of his arms to prevent him from grabbing me.

Standing grappling in Jiu-Jitsu was very similar to sword fighting, because every move had to be meticulously thought out, since one slip was enough, and you would be overpowered, or in battlefields, killed. For this reason, this grappling confrontation in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu came to be called fencing.

Boom!

Just as I was about to take the man down, a knee struck me hard in the stomach, causing me to choke from the pain. With my grip loosening, Kanoh grabbed my wrist and threw me over his shoulder, my back crashing into the ground hard enough for cracks to form on the hard floor.

Just as my vision was about to dim, a boot coming down towards my face entered my field of vision, my eyes going wide as I rolled to the side and stood up, jumping backwards in a desperate attempt to get away.

The boot smashed the ground, making me realize that if I were hit by that, I would have my brains all over the place.

Breathing heavily, I watched Agito warily, the crushing pressure exploding from his body serving to make the pain in my body even worse. My vision was blurred, but I refused to show weakness in front of the man, struggling to keep my body from staggering.

I knew that the difference between the two of us was gigantic, but I didn't imagine that I could be put up against the wall like this. My whole body ached, from my toes to my ears. The blows I received, as simple as they were, served to bring my body to the brink of collapse. I felt as if at any second I was going to crack, and this was making me more and more frustrated.

Our exchange had been so short that I had not even come close to evolving, so this training would turn out to be just a waste of time. Worst of all, he was clearly taking it easy!

'I need to use everything I have, or I will only gain injuries from this training.'

I needed to fight with everything I had in my arsenal, or I wouldn't be able to stand long enough to learn anything from this confrontation other than that I was an ant compared to the man in front of me.

"Are you done, Yuji Shinakawa?" Kanoh asked in a calm tone, this causing me to crack a smile as I pulled my hair back.

"I'm just getting started." With a smile full of teeth, I began to bounce again, ignoring the spikes of pain in my bones with each movement I made.

Advancing towards him in a straight line, I watched him get ready, my eyes glinting dangerously as I slowed down for an instant, exploding towards him in a zigzag pattern, this startling the man, who slightly widened his eyes.

'[Baritsu technique: Walking on the waves]!'

Reaching him, my new pace clearly served to confuse him. Taking advantage of this, I attacked with a feint at his ribcage, only for the moment he lowered his arm to block, I hit him with a powerful hook to his temple, the blow strong enough to make his vision blurry for a moment.

From the memories I had of Kengan Ashura, Kanoh had shown difficulty in dealing with someone like Ohkubo, who was able to transition between basic moves such as punches, falls, finishes, and grabs fluidly. The man had mastered the basics, and his transitions were enough to put someone like Agito under pressure.

I would be apologizing to Ohkubo, because I would be using that strategy right now.

With the man confused due to the blow to his head, I quickly grabbed his wrist, using a twist to cause his body to unconsciously be pushed to the ground, him preventing himself from falling to the ground with the other hand, putting it in support.

Anticipating this move, I cracked a smile, quickly looping my arm around his neck and applying a guillotine. He was quick to use his chin to protect his throat, but I didn't intend to strangle him anyway, so it wouldn't make any difference to me.

'Besides, I'm sure I couldn't strangle him no matter how perfect my technique would fit.'

The moment he tried to grab my arm to escape the guillotine, I cracked a wicked smile.

'That's what I wanted.'

Jumping up while keeping a grip on his throat, I smashed his face into the ground using my weight. This seemed to hurt him, but not interrupt his movements, him grabbing my legs in an attempt to pull me into a fall. Seeing this, I let go and stepped away.

The moment he stood up and turned his attention to me, I exploded toward him as I lowered my stance, making clear my intention to grab his legs. The moment I swept the distance between the two of us, he lowered his stance, returning my intention to initiate a ground fight.

Boom!

The moment we reached each other, I hit him with an uppercut, the unexpected blow working perfectly, Kanoh's head being pushed upwards by the power of the punch.

Wasting no time, I grabbed his shoulder and used all my strength to pull him down while advancing my knee toward his stomach. Seeing him lower his arms to defend himself, I immediately interrupted my attack, landing an elbow in his face, the force behind the blow serving to make him take a few steps backward.

Watching him shake his head, I squinted my eyes as I analyzed his condition.

Even though I hit him with all my strength, he didn't seem shaken or even hurt. The only attacks that seemed to have any effect on him were those on vital points, such as his temple and chin.

"..."

Suddenly, it propelled itself toward me, my eyes widening as I immediately activated the [Divine Eyes], only for me to be able to see only one fist advancing toward my stomach.

"Gah!"

I choked as I felt the fist smash into my stomach, my body being thrown backwards as I rolled around on the floor for a few seconds until I crashed into the wall of a building hard enough to destroy much of the concrete.

'That speed... My body was unable to react in time.'

Rising with difficulty, I stared at Kanoh with intensity. I felt something rise in my throat, but before it could leave my mouth, I stopped it, swallowing the blood without a second thought.

This was a mountain that I couldn't climb, no matter what techniques and tricks I used. It was impossible to face such a calamity at my current level.

Closing my eyes as I was about to give up, my attention was suddenly drawn when a voice reached my ears.

"Y-Yuji can do it! Kou believes in Yuji! Yuji won't lose!"

Opening my eyes, I turned my attention back to the entrance of the pharmacy, landing my gaze on a tearful Kou, the little girl looking at me with concern as she held her hands together, almost as if praying for me.

I smiled slightly at this, a small laugh escaping my lips as I turned my attention to Agito, who was just looking at me with a serious look.

"Heh... If I quit here, the title of weakling would go down well with me." I spoke, a confident smile appearing on my lips, going against my entire face that looked extremely tired. "But I refuse to be considered a weakling."

I let my aura explode, my eyes glowing dangerously as my muscles stiffened, my veins bulging in my skin for a moment before returning to normal.

"I will show you, Kanoh Agito, that even a little shit from the Kure clan will not be a problem for me."
