9 Shio Sakaki and Akisame Koetsuji

Shigure was stunned not able to react to the situation while Hayato Furiniji was shaking his head.

Shigure:"No this is not right"

Kenichi:"How is it not right you just think back to the oath you took according to it "if this shuriken hitted my face you will marry me" it never said that my face really have to be disfigured and I am not saying that you have to marry me right now we can do that later on when I reach the suitable age for marriage then we will marry ok"

Shigure swinged his Katana towards Kenichi which he easily dodged. After fighting for 3 years in the underground arena Kenichi can easily dodge hidden weapons let alone a Katana which he knew will be coming for him any second.

Shigure:" I won't marry a weak man"

Holding her Katana with both hands she said that to Kenichi.

Kenichi:"Weak man hmm *pointing his finger to Hayato Furiniji* so what if I am able to defeat this old man will you marry me than"

Shigure nodded her head after she saw the person Kenichi is talking about is Hayato Furiniji.

Kenichi:"I am Kenichi Shirahama and you are?"

Shigure:"Shigure Kosaka"

Kenichi:"Then until I beat that Oldman you will be my girlfriend Shigure-san"

After this part Kenichi moved out of the room without waiting for her (Shigure) reply. While Shigure was tilting her head thinking what dose a girlfriend means.

Furiniji:"Are you going to do that to every girl you like binding them by a promise or oath"

Kenichi:"*smiled* The promise and oath are just ways of mine to make the girls think about me all the time I would never force them to marry me if they don't like me"

Furiniji:"Well it's fine then as you will have to beat me if you my granddaughter and Shigure. Now then let's meet your martial arts teacher shall we"

Furiniji entered a room followed by Kenichi. Inside the room Kenichi saw a tall man around 192 cm and had a scar on his face starting from one side of the nose to the other side.

Sakaki is a 30-year-old master of karate who claims to hold 100 dan. He is a tall man almost always seen wearing a leather jacket and has a long scar across the bridge of his nose. Little is known about Sakaki's past; but he has mentioned that he used to travel the world and fight, and he also at one point belonged to a group that consisted of himself, a French martial arts master named Christopher Eclair, and an Englishman named Mycroft; but left them when their activities brought harm to the innocent, and later buried them alive.

Sakaki is well-versed in multiple forms of karate and can survive a fall from one of the top floors of a tall building without any noticeable injury.

Furiniji:"He is a bad tempered but....."

Kenichi:"It doesn't matter, if he can teach well then I can handle his temper"

Furiniji:"Look here Sakaki, I have something to tell you...."

Sakaki:"What? A disciple? I don't train anyone!! that's my motto"

Furiniji:"Is that so"

Kenichi said nothing but smiled and looked at Sakaki drinking alcohol.

Sakaki:"But if that geezer dose give me a disciple.....

Saying that Sakaki crushed the bottle of alcohol took a battle stance hitted on the Tatami mats which he had tied around him which caused them to have 5 wholes in all them.

Sasaki:"He would die in 3 day's..

Kenichi looked at Hayato Furiniji and asked

Kenichi:" Is he really the only one you have, it looks like he really doesn't want to teach and I don't want half ass teaching, if I have to beat you I need someone atleast at the grandmaster level"

Sakaki:"Hahahaha what did I just heard a kid like you want to beat the geezer haahah"

Kenichi:"Wanna bet on that..."

Sakaki:"Hmm what is the bet?"

Kenichi:"Well if I get the right teachrs to teach me then I will beat him within 6-7 years"

Sasaki:"Ho hahahaha you beating him within 6-7 years are you kidding me"

Kenichi:"You wanna bet or not"

!!??:"I will bet with you if he doesn't"

Kenichi looked at the person who spoke to him. He was Akisame Koetsuji also the first master of Kenichi and he is also the only one who dose not have a complicated history like other.

Akisame is a 38-year-old Jujitsu master, and the first master to train Kenichi. He is an old friend of Miu's father, Saiga. Despite his apparent fragility, he is immensely strong and capable, and can easily interpret other characters' unspoken thoughts. Additionally he has mastered calligraphy, painting, pottery, and sculpting, and builds contraptions as both training devices for Kenichi and power sources for the dojo, including a treadmill generator. He also owns an orthopedic clinic and can reset bones with ease. He has proved to be a good trauma surgeon also, and speaks Russian fluently.

Sakaki:"Oye Akisame who said I don't wanna bet I will bet with him"

Kenichi:"I can bet with both of you if you want to"

Kensei Ma, Apachai and Shigure also came as Kenichi was talking with Sasaki and Akisame.

Kensei Ma:"I will also enter the bet"

Apachai:"Apachai will bet as well...."

Kenichi:"Fine what are the stakes"

Sakaki:"Booze or Money for me"

Akisame:"Hmm books regarding psychology and medicine or Money"

Kensei Ma:"Magazine of girls"

Apachai:"Hamburger streak , curry and spaghetti "

Kenichi facepalm himself hearing their stakes.

Kenich:"How about Fifty thousand yen"

All Men:"Huh". (Except Furiniji)

Kenichi:"I mean fifty thousand for each of you so that you can buy what you want ok and all of you will pay me fifty thousand each deal"

All Men:"deal" (Except Furiniji )

Miu who just came after shopping heard the bet between Kenichi and the others and came running to stop Kenichi but he had already made the deal.

Miu:"Kenichi why did you made a bet like that"

Kenichi:"Well I thought that just your and Shigure's hand in marriage wasn't enough of a driving force so I the two hundred thousand yen will help me with that"

Miu:"Wait what do you mean by Shigure's hand in marriage"

Kenichi:"Well it's like this..."

Then Kenichi told Miu about the incident of him and Shigure also the condition she has set for him.

Miu:"Doesn't that mean you have tricked her"

Kenichi:"Miu I won't ever force a girl to be with me if she doesn't want to, it's only my way to make a sort link between us that's all"

Miu:"Then you won't force Shigure if she doesn't want to marry you with the oath she has made"

Kenichi:"Yes, and you shouldn't be jealous of any girl whom I met in the future as you are going to be my first wife so you will be the one to handle them"

Miu:*Blushed* " Say that when you can beat my grandfather"

Kenichi:"Ofcourse I will do that"

Furiniji:"So Kenichi will you be joining our dojo"

Kenichi:"I will join, ofcourse I will since Miu and Shigure are here"

Kensei Ma then took out a paper and brush putted it on the table and said to Kenichi

Kensei:"The right your name and address in this"

Kenichi:"Ok"

Kensei:"The fees will be 2000 yen"

Kenichi:"2000 yen!!!"

Kensei:"What is it too much earlier you just betted 200,000 yen with us"

Kenichi:"No it's fine but.....
