___________________________________

The first few fights were boring.

Well, not that boring to say the least. The first fighter was top 2 while his opponent was under the top 10. It was quite interesting, as his opponent just stopped the moment the match began and started screaming, before stopping after a few seconds and laying down flat on the ground. That was something that he must be wary of.

The second match was just embarrassing, to say the least. One of them had some sort of strengthening Quirk by the looks of the destruction he made when missing and accidentally punching the ground. His opponent was fast as hell, Quirk most likely, but lacked firepower, making the fight drag longer than expected.

Eventually, the super speed user won, but he was panting like crazy with a nosebleed.

Moving on, it was now his turn to fight.

Walking up to the main stage, he took note of the size of the stage as he walked at the edge, trying to get used to the huge battle stage for just two people.

Honestly, it was huge. A 500m x 500m stage for only two people to fight. Was it too much? Of course, but damn it was nice to have a lot of room to fight in.

Tightening his cloth gloves, he looked in the direction of the announcer who was on a platform.

"Now, rules! 1. You are not allowed to kill! 2. The way to win is by only knocking out or out of bounds! 3. Anything goes other than Rules 1 and 2!"

The crowd started chanting once he was done telling the rules. It was a tradition whenever a match was about to begin.

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT!

God, can't they keep quiet for a second? They're ruining his concentration.

...

Well, if there even was concentration in the first place. Who was he kidding? His opponent was going to lose.

It wasn't arrogance, it was a fact. From what he had gathered from watching him silently, the man was just here due to pure muscle, no technique, no martial art whatsoever. It's just that he was abnormally stronger than most people.

... Sigh... Why did he get this type of opponent? He's getting flashbacks from these arrogant pieces of shit mocking him without thinking twice.

Ugh, he really needs to calm down. Puberty cranked his emotion bar up to heaven. He should look for a doctor after this...

"Let the third placement match, BEGIN!"

DING DING DING~

"Make this fast, boy!"

The man laughed the moment the bells rang as he walked towards Gohru with glee on his face.

"Quit, or else I fuck you up!"

He roared after finishing his sentence, saliva spilling from his mouth as Gohru remained unresponsive, looking at him with a blank expression that scared the man a little unconsciously, but he was Elfriede Waltz! The strongest man in Germany!

The crowd other than Gohru's supporters also thought that he was going to lose, due to his young age and his carefree blank expression. How could someone like him win against the strongest man in Germany?

Cocking his right gun back, he yelled before swinging, producing a booming sound due to the strength that he was putting out.

"Die!"

BOOM!

The surrounding dust in the air and ground rose at the force of the direct hit, covering the two in dust and dirt as the announcer yells into his mic.

"First blood goes to Elfriede! How is Jin Gohru? Is he still OK after that devastating blow?"

The dust eventually dissipated, causing both Elfriede and the crowd to watch with wide eyes at the display of Gohru holding onto the swung arm with no damage seen.

"Calm... I'm calm... No need to go overboard..."

He mutters to himself as he twists the man's arm, causing a little shock of pain to transmit. Grunting, Elfriede raised his left arm before punching Gohru, wanting him to release his right hand.

"So telegraphed..."

WHOOSH!

He dodges the telegraphed punch by ducking to the right before clenching his free fist.

"This is how you throw a fucking punch!"

Grabbing onto Elfriede's right arm firmly in order to not let go of Elfriede, Gohru slams his fist into his solar plexus.

BANG!

"K-Koh!" Elfriede spat out saliva as Gohru releases his arm, causing the large man to clutch his stomach in pain. With no hesitation at all, Gohru dashes at Elfriede at a slow speed, not wanting to waste his energy on a weak foe.

Using the momentum of the dash, he jumps, grabbing Elfriede's face before raising his knee once Elfriede was in range.

Renewal Taekwondo: Baekdu

POW!

The knee attack connected, causing Elfriede to take a step back while clutching his nose, now concussed with a bleeding nose from the technique that used 10% of Gohru's power to not kill him.

Now that his arms were not covering his stomach, he could continue his assault. Getting into range once again, he started chaining punches and kicks from every martial art he learned.

POW BANG PAK BOOM THAK!

Elfriede now back conscious tried to at least mitigate the damage by covering his head with his arms, turtling up like a boxer, but Gohru was not letting him go, especially after mocking and looking down at him.

Raising his left leg, he spins, doing a reverse left kick. As expected, Elfriede raised his arms to block the attack that aimed at his head, but it was a feint.

Using the same leg, he changes the direction of the attack from his head to the gap between his head and arms. Once his leg was between the two, he pulled down, holding Elfriede's guard making him exposed.

Renewal Taekwondo: Hoe Grab

Now that his guard was now down, Gohru, with the back towards Elfriede, kicks the opponent in the face with his extended leg, followed by turning and spinning 180° before kicking with the other leg, a combo that was commonly used after using Hoe Grab.

Renewal Taekwondo: Spinning Top Kick

BANG BANG!

Dropping onto the floor, Gohru takes a deep breath out as he stares at the pathetic back of the knocked-out man before walking out of the stage.

"J-Jin Gohru advances to the Quarter Finals!"

WOOHOO!

The minority of the crowd cheered as the majority was still in shock, the large man just got knocked out by someone twice as light as him!

Kenichi's fight was on the 7th, so he still had time before his fight.

"Nice use of his guard, and that follow-up was cool too."

He praised Gohru as he just sighed.

"That was so boring, I didn't even have to think in that fight. My body just moved accordingly."

The two chuckled at the weakling before sitting in the waiting room for the participants. He was supposed to head to another room for a post-fight interview, but fuck that. He hated interviews, asking so many unimportant things.

"At least you're fighting someone interesting. Kiaten right?"

"Yep, honestly excited to fight him. He uses swords, right? First time fighting against someone like him, it'll be a good experience."

And a good experience for Eye of the Lord since he had never activated it on weapon-wielding users, so it was going to be a first for him too.
