Chapter 268 ( Vs Kamui )

*Bang!

A huge pillar of fire shot out towards one of the sides of the arena, leaving a huge curtain of smoke.

"I think he overplayed his hand" - Kyōka said as she let out a laugh so loud that it made those present react.

"Sensei... that was too much..." - Ayane said as she shook her head while Rino shook her head, though she had to admit that it was appealing to see all the damage a simple technique could cause.

"Not a good idea to get in the middle of a battle, Yonemitsu-san" - Cloud said as the smokescreen began to disappear, showing how the blond's fist had been deflected by the older man's arm.

"Normally I wouldn't get in the middle of a battle of young men... but my grandson's safety is the most important thing" - Yonemitsu replied calmly as he looked down at his hand and noticed how it was slightly black from the flames he had touched - "Kamui.... you need to concentrate."

"Huh? Oh, right!" - Kamui exclaimed as he shook his head as he was still surprised by the blond's actions. He quickly shook his head and gave the blond a smile - "That was great!"

". . ." - Cloud frowned as he felt his brow twitch, though he quickly shook his head - "Ok, I think it's time we start with the final phase..."

"Before that... I'd like you to accept this old man's request" - Yonemitsu said as he looked at the blond - "I want you to fight my grandson...."

". . ." - Cloud was silent for a few seconds before he started thinking about the pros and cons of accepting, at least until he saw a pop-up screen appear in front of him.

[Victory Reward: [Hand to Hand Combat], evolves to [Martial Art]]]

". . ." - Cloud thought even faster as he looked closely at the information on [Martial Art].

*************************************

"I accept..." - Cloud answered seriously as he looked at [Incursio] for a few seconds before making her disappear.

"Aren't you going to use your weapon?" - Kamui asked as he frowned because he felt the blond was looking at him in less.

"No..." - Cloud answered normally - "I only use my weapon against those who these consider to have a similar mastery to mine in that section."

"In other words... you only use your weapons on someone who also knows how to use weapons..." - Kamui said as he relaxed a bit, though he still felt like he was denigrating him.

"Exactly... but don't think that I consider you weak, remember what I just did" - Cloud replied calmly as the fire started to surround his body - "My martial arts mastery as such is not low..."

"Ok... I understand what you're trying to say" - nodded Kamui seriously as his body also started to be surrounded by flames.

*********************************

Ironically, Kamui had far superior Stats to Ren, though to Ren's advantage, she had far superior Skills and states, not to mention that the poor guy had some detrimental Skills and states.

"Okay, enough words!" - Kamui exclaimed as he ran against the blond with a smile full of battle desire appearing on his face - "Come on, let's fight till we're blue in the face!"

Cloud quickly ran against the boy because he wanted to finish fast, mostly because he knew the huge difference not only in Stats, but also in Skills.

"Heh~" - Kamui grinned, only to groan in pain as he saw the blond disappear and reappear behind him because he felt his enemy kick him right in the spine - "Ugh..."

Cloud quickly disappeared again and reappeared in front of the boy, only to punch him in the chin and in the process sending him flying into the sky.

"Ack" - Kamui could only grunt in annoyance, though he quickly turned around so he could settle himself better because he knew a next attack would come in no time, too bad it didn't come as he thought it would.

"Karyū..." - Cloud muttered as he took a breath of air.

"Oh-ho..." - Ayane said in terror as she shook her head - "Yonemitsu-sama! You have to help your grandson before it's too late!"

"What do you mean?" - Yonemitsu asked as he frowned because this didn't seem anything out of the ordinary.

"That sensei is about to release a fire breath!" - Ayane exclaimed in terror - "He's not holding back this time! He's using all his techniques!"

"!" - Yonemitsu's eyes widened in surprise because if he was honest he didn't want to believe what he heard, although after seeing everything that had happened it was better to be safe than sorry. With a quick movement, he jumped towards where his grandson was.

"No Hōkō!" - Cloud exclaimed as he placed his hands as if he had using a trumpet, only for a huge breath of fire to come out of them.

"Ok, this further confirms what was confirmed before..." - Ryōko said excitedly.

"Kaasan... I don't think this is the time to go around thinking about such things" - said Kyōka while rolling her eyes at him, although she wasn't too worried, after all, she didn't know the boy who was being almost incinerated by her boyfriend - "I honestly expected him to use those techniques when he fought against me."

The others only rolled their eyes at the third year Dragoness before concentrating on the battle.

". . ." - Cloud again frowned as he watched as his technique seemed to stay still for a few seconds before disappearing completely - "Ok... I knew my techniques weren't absolute and there was a way to stop them... but I never thought it would be here where they would be blocked..."

". . ." - Yonemitsu didn't answer, he just looked at his hands and noticed how they were red from the heat - "I have to admit that your technique was much more dangerous than I thought... not only is it fire in its pure state, but the temperature is much higher than conventional..."

"Now I'm curious... How did you manage to stop my attack?" - Cloud asked while raising an eyebrow - "If I may know..."

"The basics of my school's martial art, is temperature control" - said Yonemitsu seriously as he looked at the boy. He gave a glance to his grandson, who was still standing still - "Why didn't you counterattack?"

"Because I couldn't believe my eyes" - Kamui answered with embarrassment as he saw how his grandfather had saved him again - "I mean, he literally is a Fire Dragon."

". . ." - Yonemitsu said nothing, he just shook his head as he concentrated on the blond boy.

What his grandson said was true, Cloud was literal a fire dragon like his techniques. He spewed fire from his mouth, he was immune to fire.

"I think that was enough..." - Yonemitsu said as he shook his head at his grandson - "If you're going to lose your concentration like that, then you might as well not fight anymore."

"But I can do it, grandpa!" - Kamui exclaimed as he frowned.

"Okay, I'm going to give you the last chance... but if I have to save you again, I'm going to force you to train until you can't move..." - Yonemitsu replied as he looked at his grandson - "When the training is over, you won't have time to even think about women."

"Ok... I won't lose my concentration" - replied Kamui with a forced smile while looking at the blond - "I'm sorry I couldn't give you a worthy battle."

". . ." - Cloud didn't answer him, he just raised an eyebrow because he honestly expected something more from the boy - "Third time's the charm?"

"Of course!" - Kamui exclaimed with a smile, only to feel a fist on his face as he flew off - "Ugh..."

"First rule in a battle... never let your guard down..." - Cloud said neutrally as he watched the boy settle in so he could land.

"Thanks for the tip! Now I'm going to pay you back for everything you did to me for 10!" - Kamui exclaimed as he concentrated a large amount of fire around his body.

"I think you forgot the detail that fire doesn't do anything to me..." - Cloud replied as he grabbed Kamui's fist and began to consume the boy's flames - "The only way for fire to hurt me, is for that fire to be much stronger than my resistance."

Cloud quickly dislocated the brown-haired boy's wrist as he groaned in pain, only to grit his teeth so he could perform a kick to the head.

Cloud rolled his eyes at the boy as he used his free hand so he could grab his leg - "Really, you don't remember that my physical strength is far superior to yours?"
