As soon as "start" was said, all three of us ran at each other. To gain an advantage, I used chakra. I increased my speed and I was in front of Naohiro. He was startled for a moment but when he saw my fist coming towards his face. He countered by using his right hand and catching it. During this, Airi was on us. She jumped in the air and tried to kick both of us. I withdrew my fist and ducked. I did a sweeping kick to unbalance Naohiro, while Naohiro let his body fall backward, then his hands touched the ground and he pulled his lower body off the ground before my sweeping kick could reach him. All the while, Airi was flying over us with both of her legs stretched. Naohiro continued backwards in the gymnastic style. While Airi landed, I exploded chakra in my feet and did a knee strike. Airi spun and stopped my left knee with both of her hands. I used the opportunity to punch. She shifted her head left and when my fist passed her head, she caught my arm with one of hands that stopped my knee. She then moved to put me on the ground in the lock showing how skilful she is. "Oh...Sh*t", I said in my head and kicked her with my right leg while putting down my left. I sent her flying before she could put me on the ground in a submission. Then I quickly shifted my head backwards as Naohiro's left fist passed by. I caught his arm and moved. He thought I was about to put him in some kind of lock but my right kick landed on his right knee with enough force that he lost balance and felt pain. I gave a right hook while holding his left arm and simultaneously moving it to fold towards his right shoulder. As now I was going to lock him in a hold. Airi got up and was running to us. I was in mid air over Naohiro, I used both of my legs to clamp his neck and suffocate him. Now he was on the ground, his neck between my legs. Airi reached us and tried to punch me, I redirected her right punch and punched her face wing-chun style. Then while she was falling, I put her head in a lock using my arms. Now both of them were being suffocated. Airi was rattled due to my punch from before and Naohiro as well. I made sure to punch them both hard enough that I could suffocate them when I put locks on them. When both of them were about to lose consciousness...
Teacher: Enough, Kouske you win so stop.
I freed both of them and they started coughing trying to catch air. All of this happened in 10 mins. I put them in the holds for the first 4 mins. The rest of the time was to suffocate them and make them lose consciousness.
Student-2: He won so easily. They could not even stand a chance.
Student-3: Today, he did not do much hand to hand. Usually he would fight hand to hand showing his punches and kicks. He would fight both opponents blocking and countering. Finding gaps and using those gaps to either knock them out or beat the shit out of them and the teacher will stop him so that he won't break somebody's bone or give somebody's face too much of a beating.
Student-4: Today, he really put Naohiro in his place. The fight was decided in the first 5 mins. The rest of the time both were trying to get out of his hold before he could suffocate them.
Teacher: The lesson ends here. I hope you all learned something today.
Yeah, they learned something alright. They learned that I was never serious with them. Kouske thought in his mind and started leaving.
Naohiro: You...Today's humiliation, I will make sure to give it back several times.
Kouske stopped and turned his head to reply.
Kouske: Next time, I will punch you enough so that nobody recognises you. I will break some of your bones and dislocate some joints so that you realise that you are the one picking a fight. I think when you are lying in your bed and can not move, only then will the pea sized brain of yours realize not to mess with me.
He left after saying that without looking back. Naohiro was seething with rage and Airi was sitting on the ground grieving over her loss. Because she realised how weak she was.
…
Sun was setting and there was an orange glow in the sky. Kouske decided to start on his plans. He has genin level chakra. He decided that first he would complete the tree walking and water walking exercise. Then he would do the leaf-sticking exercise. He will be deployed next year so in the next 1 month he will complete this. He will then try to create shadow clone jutsu. He knows the hand sign, if he moves chakra in different pathways then he is bound to succeed. Once shadow clone Jutsu is down then he will truly start to fly. Using that Jutsu, he will speed up his training and become much stronger. He can do Fireball Jutsu but he does not know whether Fire is his primary element or not. His father knew this Jutsu so he asked for him to teach him. He should also look into the clan's library for basic D-level Jutsus of other elements and try to practice them. As this is the warring state era, he is not even sure whether the chakra paper has been created or not. Even if it is created, due to war happening everywhere, the shinobi items are expensive as there is high demand and low supply. He knows the paper will be expensive. So only by training will he figure out which elements suit him. He thought while looking towards the horizon and then he started walking towards his house.
