2 The Battle With the Grim Reaper

The house was cut from the height of Jin's neck. The upper half of the house fell down at a little distance. It was mostly damaged. The person resembling the grim reaper stared at the damaged upper half of the house and then he looked at the cut of the lower half. Although Jin's death wasn't confirmed, by the deadly slash, the person smiled assuming him to be dead. "This is what happens when you talk back to me! You would've lived a longer life if you begged for forgiveness", the person said.

Suddenly the person got kicked in the face! It was Jin. "As if I'll ever do that!", Jin said. The person was forced to get back a few steps with the kick.

"Impossible! How did you get away from the slash?", the person asked Jin feeling utterly surprised.

"What's wrong with you!? First you'll try to kill a person who only talked back to you and then you'll feel surprised if he doesn't die! It's not just me just anybody on this planet can dodge such a predictable move", Jin said in a rather sarcastic way. He then moved closer to the person quickly and kicked him twice more.

"But a slash from my scythe can even cut down mountains! It's just impossible!!", the person said with utter disbelief and surprise.

"So do I look like a mountain to you?", Jin asked as he kicked the person a few more times. The person fell on his knee. "You know you'll die if I kick you a few more times. So it's better to end this tussle right now", he said calmly.

The person got furious looking Jin pity him. He got up and tried cutting Jin once more. "Just shut up and tell me why you're not dead!?", the person said. This time Jin blocked his attack by stopping his scythe with his leg. He was wearing black boots and trousers. Over his boot it was written 'Black Foot', it is a popular company that sells shoes from Jin's time. "So you won't stop unless it's the hard way!", Jin said in a cold voice as he kicked the scythe. Then he kicked the person behind his neck and sat on his back as he fell down. The scythe spun in the air for a while and then the blade got locked in the ground.

"You don't understand right?", Jin said after releasing a deep breadth. "Okay listen. Although you won't understand still listen anyway. From my childhood I'm practicing martial arts with Marcy. Now I'm 20 years old. And compared to her you're just a snail!"

"What did you say!?", the person said with disbelief.

"I've counted. From my childhood I fought exactly 10,000 battles with her but I couldn't win a single one", Jin said.

"So you say there's someone even stronger than you!"

"Yeah of course. Marcy, she's my cousin."

"You know what it really hurts."

"What? The kicks?? Don't worry about that. I've got medicines in my bag", Jin smiled and said looking at the person in the face as he got up from his back. His face was still covered mostly by the cloak.

"No not the kicks!"

"Then what!?"

"You know I always believed that I'm the strongest being in the whole Universe."

"Universe!!??", Jin thought as he felt awkward knowing about the person's imagination.

"But after losing the fight with you I was pushed down to number 2."

"Okay so what?"

"And then listening about this Marcy person from you now I'm pushed down to number 3. I got pushed down two ranks in such a short while. It really hurts", the person started crying.

Jin couldn't say anything as he felt even more awkward of the situation. He simply stood there looking at the person crying. His scythe was at a little distance with the blade still locked to the ground.
