Round One Fight

Knight turned to Ichimaru, acknowledging the impressive growth he had achieved, and went on to commend the entirety of the Takeshi group for their remarkable advancement. He revealed his plans to organize a tournament with randomly generated brackets to ensure unpredictability. A smile spread across Ichimaru's face, understanding that this tournament would finally allow him to engage opponents of comparable strength.

The scene shifted to a flashback, unveiling a period when Ichimaru was devoid of personality, wandering aimlessly. His encounter with a hero who challenged everyone to a fight marked a pivotal moment. Responding in his trademark cold, robotic tone, Ichimaru accepted the challenge, launching a series of accurate yet ineffective punches. The hero paused to inquire about Ichimaru's fighting style, likening it to that of a machine. He imparted the wisdom that fighting ought to be enjoyable, as true strength emerged from that enjoyment.

This insight prompted Ichimaru to reflect on his lack of personality and the necessity for change. Subsequent sparring sessions with the hero, named Ningen, catalyzed Ichimaru's transformation. Slowly, he began to experiment with his movements, incorporating flips, flying, kicking, and even laughter – expressions he had never before embraced. Ningen became Ichimaru's mentor, bestowing his name upon him. Over the ensuing months, they resolved to venture into a dungeon, an expedition that ended in disaster. The monsters overwhelmed them, and Ningen's sacrifice led him to entrust Ichimaru with his skills, which included accelerated growth, mana shaping, various affinities, and an array of thirty additional abilities.

The flashback dissolved, revealing Ichimaru with tears streaming down his face. Knight inquired about his distress, prompting Ichimaru to share his story. The scene concluded there, leaving the weight of Ichimaru's past to linger in the air.
