Ancestor

It was just before the match that they had decided to change their location to the infirmary once again.

They went to visit Elana and checked whether her brother had woken up or not and also visited Sekibayashi who also had entered the infirmary.

Yuuki could make him better, but he decided not to do it since he believed that Elena's brother could wake up soon.

Humans are a race that has always created a miracle.

Waking up from a near-death experience is also one of those miracles.

Yuuki also thought that it might not be good to let Elena's older brother wake up forcefully with his magic.

Elena was happy to see them and happy that they had accompanied her.

Yuuki talked for a while before looking at the match and also checked the condition of Sekibayashi. However, he didn't need to worry about Sekibayashi since this old man was very tough.

It was when he watched the screen that he was quite surprised to see that Bando Youhei was still alive even though that guy had been stabbed by a virus. He looked at Hajime and asked, "He is still alive."

"....." Hajime was silent and thought for a while. "It is impossible for him to get medicine from this island, then the only answer is that Bando has gotten his medicine from someone." He frowned and said, "Who?"

Yuuki looked at Hajime and said, "Didn't you remember the only pharmaceutical company in this tournament?"

!!!!

Hajime frowned and said, "I need to talk about this with my boss."

Yuuki looked at Hajime who was walking away from the infirmary.

"This tournament isn't as simple as it seems," Haibara said.

"Yeah, I guess there must be something happening later," Yuuki said jokingly.

Haibara raised her eyebrow and said, "If that's really the case then something might really happen later."

Yuuki patted Haibara's head and said, "If that really happens then I'll protect you."

Haibara smiled and nodded.

The match between Hatsumi Sen and Bando Yohei had started. Their match was very interesting since both of them had a very unique way of fighting.

Hatsumi Sen was very famous for his special Aikido technique and Bando Yohei's way of fighting was using the flexible joints in his body.

BAAM! BAAM! BAAM!

Bando moved his hand in a similar way to a whip, no, his hand had become a whip, lashing around destroying the ground. His speed was very fast, but it couldn't hit Hatsumi Sen.

In the eyes of the audience, Hatsumi had the upper hand since he could dodge all of Bando's attack.

---

"It seems that Hatsumi has the upper hand in that battle," Haibara said.

"You might see it that way, but that isn't the case," Yuuki said.

"Really? How did you see it?" Haibara asked.

"Bando is a hunter," Yuuki said.

"Hunter?"

Yuuki's words surprised them.

"It is, but that hunter is missing his attack," Isuzu said.

"Missing his attack? All I can see is that he is waiting for his prey to get tired," Yuuki said. He looked at the screen and said, "You can see that Hatsumi's tired face and before long that guy will lose his gas."

"Then Bando is going to win?" Sekibayashi joined.

"No, I think that Hatsumi is going to win that match," Yuuki said.

Sekibayashi laughed and said, "Yeah, I also think so."

Hatsumi knew that Bando was a bad matchup and the worst opponent.

His way of fighting was Aikido and most of the technique that he was using focussed on the joint of the target, but it was impossible to hurt the joint of Bando since that guy was too flexible.

Then their fight became more intense and Hatsumi had become used to Bando's attack moving closer toward him.

Hatsumi had moved behind Bando and was ready to snap Bando's arm, but as expected Bando's arm was too flexible that he couldn't snap it. Then he hurriedly ran away when he felt a dangerous feeling.

For Bando, who had an advantage in flexibility, he could do the thing that normal humans were unable to perform. He was ready to catch Hatsumi, but that guy had run away from him.

Hatsumi took a deep breath once again and looked at his opponent with a relaxed expression. He knew that he couldn't snap Bando's joints and that was why he would do something else. He moved closer once again and started his counterattack.

Even though Bando was powerful, he didn't have that much experience in martial arts.

Crack!

Bando was surprised when he saw the bond of his arm had been broken.

Hatsumi didn't target Bando's joint, but he had targeted Bando's bone and dropped him on the ground cracking Bando's humerus.

Crack! Crack!

Bando's bone was being broken one by one until he couldn't use one of his hands. He was ready to attack with his other hand, but Hatsumi threw Bando in the air spinning him.

'Ah... So I've been dancing in your hand?' Bando thought at that moment.

Hatsumi raised his leg and slammed it right into Bando's head into the ground.

BAAAAMM!!!

"Hatsumi Style Aikido: Hundred Meetings Throw."

Bando slumped to the ground and lost this battle.

Hatsumi smiled and said, "Thanks to you that I have regained my peak."

---

Nogi sighed in relief and sat down in relaxed expression. "You have always made me worry." He knew that Hatsumi was a very troublesome fighter, but he believed in Hatsumi as his fighter. "Akiyama, have you talked with that kid?"

"Kid?" Akiyama asked.

"Yuuki," Nogi said. His mouth was quite sour when he mentioned Yuuki since that guy had stolen something from him.

"No," Akiyama said. She hadn't met him after being trusted to give the publishing company to Yuuki.

"Well, his next opponent is Ohma thought..." Nogi said.

"Yes, on the fifth day, both of them will fight to each other," Akiyama said.

Nogi sighed and said, "Well, I guess Ohma is very excited about this match."

"Yes, both Yamashita and Tokita have always been waiting for the match against him one more time," Akiyama said.

Nogi nodded and thought about what his ancestor then thought about the tournament. He believed that he could win this tournament and did what his ancestors couldn't do.
