Chapter 13 (3/4)

-End of trials-

Well, even though they might have the same characteristics, there was one thing that both of them held advantage, and that is being rational.

Being able to think is already an advantage, even though they know it will respond according to their style, if one shows a sudden change then the doppelganger can't keep up with it.

Since after all, past is still in the past, it might also helped both of them to see some unconscious habit they have and some area that requires more training. However, in the case of Kazu, quirks don't work either, but his doppelganger can.

-Kazu's POV-

"Facing my self in this time is already out of the equation of my prediction, and yet it can utilize quirk that I can't, I can only rely on my martial arts in this case."

Fights had become more intense as neither of the two give up on attacking their doubles. And then when a epiphany began to occur in Kazu's fight.

"I should myself better than before, I've always been inconspicuous since I was child, I was also immersed by my late father to different defensive martial arts, along with my strong quirk, this battle is just a mediocre.", he smirked.

"Well having quirk or not in the first place might change things but in here that is my past self and has weakness that is yet to overcome"

He stride to the left by homing his mostly used martial arts - eight trigram palms. He maneuvers his way to his double until he reach its abdomen to release a wave impact pulse of energy.

"Not enough, I still need to be more stronger", he muttered.

*bam* bash* *boff*

Kazu's double began to react even slowly, no but it seems like Kazu became more faster. And then with a last *bang*

His doppelganger came into halt, it just stood still staring at Kazu before it began to fade away.

"Hooo, at last"

/Last stage 1/2 Winner - Kazuhiko/

And then Kazu was transported back again in the arena. Which when he arrive there, he was all alone. He tried to look over at the arena just to see Kenji's fighting himself.

-Kenji's POV-

"I never thought my past self would be this strong, where the hell have I learned those moves?", he ask himself.

Although Kenji is intelligent and hard working, some times even the smartest person can do the most dumbest thing in the world. And with Kenji's personality, tho quite unsociable he ain't anti-social at all but since he was preoccupied with work and study, he don't have the luxury to waste on it.

And he don't have time to make friends either. As an orphan, he knows how harsh his world before, and it was thanks to his looks, brain and effort that he was able to support his education and living.

"I know I might have learned some things one way or another, sh* I should have just stick to one back then"

Different forms of martial arts was executed by his double, and when he was preoccupied of thinking how to beat it, he lose focus and as a straight punch went to his face directly.

This lead him to growl in the somewhat like floor, he keeps on laying down trying to cover up the pain in his head, until memories of his previous world came into.

"I know I'm just an unwanted child, I know that, but being beaten by my own self is much worse," he muttered while standing up.

"Arghhh, let's get it on f*", he shouted to his double.

With a twist on his left ankle, he lift and jump in the air as his right leg is protruding the way to his double, he launch a clean right kick to it, and directly assaulted with multiple kicks.

It keeps going on and on as if he was in steroid, or in an adrenaline rush. And when he was about to put his last kick, his doppelganger that seems to be unmoving started to vanish.

/Last stage trial 2/2 Winner - Kenji/

Kenji was then transported in the arena. When he look around he saw Kazu standing in front of him.

"It seems you just beat the shell out of yourself", Kazu said.

"Urusai", Kenji said in annoying tone.

And then the what seem like yin-yang activation started to fade its glow away.

/Congratulations fighters for completing all of the stages in this trial with bravery and courage. You can now exit this space by standing inside the arena circle/

With a hurry, both stick figures ran towards the arena circle before vanishing completely.

-Batara Kala's Lair-

"Oh it seems like the young one's completed the trial, *kekekekek*

Then a big ancient door appeared, and two odd white balls floating came out.

"Welcome welcome to my lair young one's"

"Kala-san! I've completed your trial! Now it's your turn to seal deal.", Kenji shouted.

"Ohhh? Relax young one since I always fulfill those. How about we drink some wine here and eat. *kakakakkaka*

-Kazu's POV-

"So this is one whom Kenji is referring to, but to say he sure look odd and peculiar"

"Ohhh I may be look odd or peculiar but I'm the real deal here youngling"

"Oh so you can read minds huh?"

"Anything can be done if it's within my power"

"You said its-, but before he can continue Kenji interrupted.

"Now's not the time for that, we have tons of questions to ask, and to what will happen onwards", said Kenji sternly.
