Chapter 19# Meeting Manager Kim
After a few months since the fight between Johan and Meredith, Gojo Satoru is walking in the city as usual. However, he suddenly recalls that Manager Kim Manhwa's manga is starting today. After a few hours, he hears a commotion and witnesses a fight between Minji Kim and another girl. A fat guy intervenes, touching Minji Kim's hair and slapping her face. Moments later, the other girl, who was initially fighting Minji Kim, picks up a brick and smashes it on her head. Minji Kim falls onto another rock on the ground, bleeding.
Panic ensues as onlookers believe she might be dead. The fat guy attempts to call a gang he recently joined, but they reject his request. However, the girl who intervened steps forward, revealing her identity, and the gang accepts her.
Meanwhile, an unnoticed handsome guy (Gojo Satoru) amidst the crowd arrives at the scene. He takes off his black-purple coat and uses it to staunch Minji Kim's bleeding. The bleeding stops, bringing relief to the situation. He scolds the crowd, saying, "Guys, you almost killed somebody be lucky that she isnt dead, dumbasses."
The fat guy, offended, attempts to punch him. However, the handsome guy (Gojo Satoru) effortlessly blocks the punch with his arm, counterattacks, and slams the fat guy into a wall, rendering him unconscious. As the handsome guy hears a phone ringing, he picks up Minji Kim's phone from her pocket. The caller is Minji Kim's father, and after that he grins.
A few minutes later, a man in office attire, presumably Minji Kim's father, arrives at the location, sweating and searching for his daughter. He spots a white-haired guy (Gojo Satoru), who catches his attention. Upon seeing his daughter covered in blood, he reacts like a caged beast released and instantly stands in front of Gojo Satoru and Manager Kim's eyes narrowed with determination as he spoke, "I don't know who you are, but if you're in my way, you won't last long."
Gojo Satoru, with a carefree smirk, laughed, "Hey, don't be so stiff! Let's have some fun!"
The clash began, Manager Kim's rigid movements contrasting with Gojo Satoru's dynamic fighting style. Manager Kim's Close Quarter Combat (CQC) met Gojo Satoru's versatile moves, creating an initial exchange of strikes, blocks, and dodges. The barren landscape added a sense of isolation as they moved through empty streets and deserted buildings.
As the fight progressed, Gojo Satoru activated his perfect copy ability, mirroring Manager Kim's techniques flawlessly. The battle became a dance of mirrored moves and strategic counters. Manager Kim, however, adapted swiftly, incorporating a mix of martial arts styles into his repertoire, keeping Gojo on his toes.
In a burst of energy, Gojo Satoru unleashed his superhuman strength, launching Manager Kim backward. The ex-Sergeant staggered but quickly recovered, relying on his tactical mind to counter the onslaught. The remote area echoed with the impact of their strikes, emphasizing the intensity of their clash.
As the fight unfolded in the desolate landscape, Manager Kim utilized the environment to his advantage, turning every abandoned structure into a potential strategic asset. Gojo Satoru, ever adaptable, dodged and countered with fluidity. The emptiness of the surroundings amplified the echoes of their strikes, creating an eerie atmosphere.
Driven by a deep sense of duty, Manager Kim's determination intensified. Gojo Satoru, sensing the emotional stakes, pressed harder, aiming to exploit any vulnerability. Thoughts of his daughter fueled Manager Kim's every move, but Gojo Satoru sensed the emotional turmoil within his opponent. Seizing the opportunity, Gojo pressed on, aiming to exploit any vulnerability.
The battle reached its climax in a final showdown. Both fighters, battered and fatigued, faced each other in the desolate area of the city. Manager Kim, driven by duty and love, unleashed a relentless barrage of strikes, incorporating elements from different martial arts styles, surprising Gojo Satoru.
But Gojo, grinning in the face of the storm, dodged and countered with precision. In a moment of surrender, Manager Kim fell to his knees.
Gojo Satoru, standing over his defeated opponent, extended a hand.
Gojo Satoru: "You're a worthy adversary.i gived her a coat so she is gonna stop bleeding and Take care of that family of yours."
And with that, Gojo Satoru vanished into the desolate shadows, leaving Manager Kim alone in the aftermath of their intense and prolonged encounter. The echoes of their clash lingered, a testament to the power and complexity of the fighters who had crossed paths in the remote and abandoned corners of the city.
