Martial Arts 2

Tsukasa was standing in front of the massive tree in the space where he usually trained with Ais.

On the other hand, Riveria, Ais, and Tiona stood behind him, watching him curiously what kind of martial arts Tsukasa was going to show them.

The rest of the people, who usually peeked at him in the morning, also looked at Tsukasa curiously since it would be their first time to see him showing his martial arts.

Still, they let out a sigh, wondering what this guy couldn't do.

Tsukasa ignored what everyone was thinking and slammed his palm into the massive tree in front of him.

*Baam!*

The force behind this palm was powerful, but he held it so it wouldn't destroy the tree.

However, even if this palm didn't destroy the tree, it caused a gasp from a lot of people.

"He-Hey, the tree! Look at that!"

"How could that happen?"

"The trunk of the tree twisted!"

The trunk of the tree twisted and turned into a spiral.

This was the reason why everyone was dumbfounded.

Riveria, Ais, and Tiona approached Tsukasa and looked at the tree curiously.

"How did you do it?" Ais asked while caressing the trunk of the tree. She could feel the inside of the trunk was also messed up. In other words, his palm damaged the exterior and interior of the tree!

On the other hand, Riveria was dumbfounded since she was thinking about what would happen if Tsukasa used this technique on a living thing. Somehow, she wouldn't be surprised if this technique could disable limbs, rip organs and crack bones together at the same time.

"Tsukasa, teach me!" Tiona was eager to learn this technique.

Not only Tiona but the rest of the people who heard his words also wanted to learn this technique!

However...

"It's okay, but you need eight years to master it," Tsukasa said. "The fastest will be one year."

"....."

Cold water was instantly poured on their heads since they felt they were too naive somehow.

Tsukasa frankly told Tiona the Rakshasa's Palm, which he showed before needing someone for at least eight years to master. Even a genius could only master it in one year. After all, not everyone was like him. Who could learn a technique, ability, and magic at a speed one couldn't think of, right?

Tsukasa knew Tiona's fighting style was quite free, and she didn't even have a style. She was fighting wildly based on her instincts and experience. However, it was a normal thing since he knew most people were like that.

Most people also didn't focus on martial arts since they would either use a weapon or magic.

Still, it didn't mean they were bad. Instead, they were better than the martial artists in his previous world since the people in this world had been baptized by blood, and a conflict was an everyday thing, so they didn't have a fear.

Lastly, what was important in the battle was courage since without courage, they were already lost in the battle.

Frankly, Tsukasa didn't really want to teach Tiona, so he showed this "Rakshasa's Palm."

The "Rakshasa's Palm" was a technique he learned when he observed a snake. He saw it strangle its prey to death, giving him the inspiration for this technique. It was a palm strike with a twisting impact.

The force from the technique is transmitted from the back to the shoulders, and the upper arms, then amplified and transformed into a powerful twisting blow by the spiral motion of the forearms, and as a result, its power is halved at point-blank range because the forearms cannot be rotated fully.

Due to the extreme amount of torque this technique applies to the user's physical strikes, the user's blows become able to disable limbs, rip organs and crack bones.

Usually, most people could only twist their wrists 180 degrees when using the technique, but Tsukasa twisted his wrists 360 degrees or more, drastically increasing the lethality of the technique.

Still, most people would give up when they heard they would need eight years to learn this technique, but definitely not Tiona.

"I want to learn it, Tsukasa!" Tiona showed an eagerness.

"...." Tsukasa.

Tsukasa took a deep breath, and suddenly he moved.

Tiona couldn't react, and suddenly she saw a fist was just a centimeter away from her. The wind from this blow blew her face and caused her slightly messy hair to become messier. However, she didn't close her eyes and watched this fist with amazement since even if she was a Level 5 adventurer, she couldn't react!

Even Riveria and Ais couldn't react and were stunned by the sudden action.

"This...?" Tiona was stunned, but she knew Tsukasa had shown her a technique. "Wh-What is this?"

"This is boxing. It takes a while to learn Rakshasa's Palm, but this one is different. Do you want to learn it?" Tsukasa asked.

"Yes!"

"It's going to be painful."

"I know, but you don't need to worry." Tiona's face was as bright as a sunflower. "I'll learn this boxing!"

Tsukasa looked at Tiona and nodded. "Okay, but only for a while, alright? I have something to do later."

"Good!"

The two started to practice boxing, and the fastest way to learn it was?

It was to beat Tiona up.

However, Tsukasa wasn't cruel enough to beat Tiona, so he just taught her, and with the effect of the "Moon," she learned even faster. Still, he didn't teach her orthodox boxing. Instead, he combined her beast-like and wild way of fighting boxing, so it wouldn't make her weaker, and she could use what she learned from him in the battle shortly.

While Riveria didn't think too much since Tsukasa was her man, Ais somehow pouted since she realized she couldn't monopolize him anymore.

Riveria noticed this and asked, "What's wrong, Ais?"

"No-Nothing." Ais shook her head since somehow she was too embarrassed to admit it.

Rivieria looked at Ais for a moment, then looked at Tiona, who was full of smiles. She then looked at all the girls who had peeked at them from the beginning to the end. She could even see Lefiya among the group and hid when she looked in her direction. She let out a sigh and thought her man was too popular, right?

Then after a few hours, the battle ended, and Tiona plopped to the ground. It wasn't because she was physically tired, but because she was mentally tired since she felt a lot of information was crammed into her head. However, instead of being exhausted or giving up, her eyes were full of light, and she was excited.

"Tiona, are you alright?" Tione looked at her little sister for a while before she looked at Tsukasa with a surprising light since she must admit what he taught to her little sister was an amazing technique, and she wanted to learn from him too.

"I'll go out for a while. I'll go back later to the party. By the way, can you buy me a few metals when you go out later?" Tsukasa asked.

"Yes," Tiona answered without hesitation.

"Tione, can I leave the money to you?" Tsukasa said and gave his money to Tione, who was standing next to Tiona.

"Okay." Tione nodded and didn't think too much.

"Then, I'll go first." Tsukasa left without hesitation since someone had been waiting for him. He jumped from the tree to the wall, leaving everyone behind. Luckily, Riveria had returned to her room, so he didn't need to tell them the reason why he walked out.

Still, Ais looked at his back for a while. She hesitated but decided to leave, too, since her body was drenched with sweat.

Tione looked at Tsukasa and felt speechless. 'Is this guy a monkey?'

When Tsukasa left, Tiona stood up, then looked at Tione. "Tione, do you want to fight?"

"...."

Tione was stunned, but then she snorted. "You're 100 years too early to defeat me!"

"Hmph! Tsukasa has taught me! I am not going to lose!" Tiona was full of excitement.

Then, the two fought each other, and the result...

"....."

Tione lay on the ground while looking at the sky.

This was too unreasonable, right?
