The same day, when Ohma returned back to Koryuu he received a call from Kenichi saying: "Meet me tonight at my house." But when arrived there he was assaulted by different questions.

"What the hell happened to you?" Kenichi screamed looking at Ohma, a side of Kenichi's face was badly bruised but Ohma's injuries were way worse.

A bandage was tied around his head covering his entire forehead, cuts sealed and taped on his left cheek, his exposed forearms too were tied.

"I told you I wanted to challenge some tough guy into a fight," Ohma said, "Well, that happened and before you say anything else, I won - alright. Leave that aside, how about your fight with that boxe"

"Ah- I won," Kenichi said, still looking a bit concerned.

"Congratulations. Now, are you invite or did you call me to keep standing?" Ohma asked.

"Sorry, please come in," Kenichi said as moved away from the door with a wry smile.

"What was that important thing you were babbling about?" Ohma asked as took off his shoes.

"Come to my room and I'll tell you," Kenichi said, keeping his voice low.

Ohma shrugged his shoulders and simply followed him upstairs to this room. When entered through he immediately spotted a curious book laying over Kenichi's bed.

"The idiot's guide to dating." Ohma picked up the book then looked to at Kenichi. "Seriously this?"

"Now see this," Kenichi said. "If a guy wants to get a girl's attention, then he needs to be very assertive." He then groaned. "The stupid book doesn't say how you tell her that you like her!"

"Did you seriously drag me here in the middle of the night for this crap?" Ohma scoffed. "What made you think I could be of any help."

"I mean..." Kenichi tried to explain. "You and Miu are raised similarly, always travelling throughout your childhood and learning martial arts at a young age."

"You still hung up on that blonde?" Ohma asked rolling his eyes.

"Yeah," Kenichi said slumping back onto the bed, "I like her, man. She is is the reason Ryozanpaku in the first place."

"Not because you were getting your ass kicked by bullies?" Ohma commented.

"That was extra not the main reason."

'This guy is hopeless.' Ohma thought.

At around the same time in a different part of town, Kisara and her gang were having a meeting in her hideout as she was being given a report on Ohma's recent battle with the Takedown Trio.

"So, the guy took Takeda out, huh?" Kisara asked while laying on a couch.

"That's right." Shiratori confirmed it while standing near her.

"I called it!"

Tsuji was also present in the room while sitting on the ledge of a window and resting his back against the wall.

"That's what happens when you send a cripple boxer to do a fighter's job." Tsuji commented brashly.

Kisara turned to her side. "Shut your mouth Tsuji, if I wanted your opinion, I'd ask for it."

Tsuji scoffed. "Fuck you! We are bleeding, you already lost half your territory after losing to that boarding school girl."

Shiratori sent Tsuji a glare. "Being an executive member or not, Tsuji has no right to speak to Kisara with such disrespect." Shiratori then kneeled down to be at eye level with Kisara before speaking to her. "We've got to do something about this Shirahama guy, we can't leave him out on his own. If he decides to join with some other group besides Ragnarok, that'll be a big problem for us."

"Don't worry so much, I've got things under control." Kisara stretched out her legs before leaping off the couch and onto her feet. "Remember, everything is happening as per our agreement. Now that he's beaten Takeda and the others, he's proven himself worthy of fighting me." She said confidently with hands on her hips as she started walking. "Once I crush him, he'll be one of my subordinates and everything will fall into place."

"Wait just a second," Tsuji called out.

"No." Kisara kept walking.

"I said wait!" This time he yelled.

Kisara stopped but didn't look at him. "Do you have a problem with my plan?" She sounded threatening.

"No problem, just give me a shot." Tsuji petitioned. "Let me try him out."

Kisara merely smirked at him. "What, you wanted to add yourself to his body count?"

"Don't compare me to your grunts." Tsuji stood up, not insulted. "I have my own way of handling fights."

The next morning, Ohma was back in Ryozanpaku for training. Haruto was standing next to him as they were having a conversation.

"And so basically, he just wanted me there so he could complain about not getting anywhere with Miu." Ohma summarized.

"If Kenichi were as dedicated to training as he was to Miu, he might've already surpassed the Takedown Trio by now." Haruto pointed out.

"Yeah, unfortunately, what motivates a man is not always what he needs." Ohma shrugged his shoulders. "I'm seriously getting sick of him consistently melting over Miu."

"I can imagine, I had similar experience during my youth." Haruto confessed, before changing the subject. "But, yesterday wasn't all bad though. After all, you got to fight a really strong opponent for a change."

Remembering that lifted Ohma's mood. "Yeah, Kuroda turned out to be tougher than I expected. Totally worth all the internal bleeding though."

"I wish I could have been there watch." Haruto commented. "When I was young I wanted to challenge the previous Grandmaster of Nadashinyo... it's a pity I just never got the chance."

"Was he strong?" Ohma asked.

"Once could say in that time he was one of the strongerst," Hayato said. "He had what the Martial Word called the Demon's talons. It's an in habitual development of the four muscular bodies of the femoral quadriceps which enables you to deliver incredible power. Its force can break the strongest metal and its elasticity is comparable to a willow's branch."

"It didn't seem like Kuroda inherited that," Ohma remarked. "Let's see how my next opponent fares up."

"You look pretty excited to face him, what style does this boy practice?" Hayato asked.

"Judo," Ohma replied.
