Let the combat begin!

The next morning, the tournament was already surrounded by people, both contestants of the upcoming matches and family and friends of the participants. Of course, each of them was mixed in among the many spectators and fans.

In a world where the tournament is held every year, martial artists have become the most famous idols on the planet. Whether it was God's influence or not, it cannot be denied that thanks to the boost that Dr. Brief provided in technology, tournaments, fights, entertainment, news, advertising and the economy have developed rapidly since the 10th tournament.

Even more changes will be achieved this year as the growing popularity is forcing the kingdom to create a new arena. So this would be the last official public tournament in the small arena of Papaya Island.

With the sound of screams in the background, cold wind and rising sun. A black-haired and gray-haired presenter stands on the podium with sunglasses. His serious suit contradicts the excitement he puts into the entrance when he poses and proclaims:

"Welcome to the 20th Martial Arts Tournament!

*Today is a special day!

Since it will be the beginning of the last official world competition in this arena!

For such a special occasion, fighters and young hopefuls have gathered for the competition!Before the fight begins, I, as the presenter, will also announce a few words!

Apart from the already known rules of the competition!

I want to make it clear that this is also my last year as a presenter!

Yes! *He cries emotionally while posing*

I have so much money that I can finally retire!

And although I am passionate about the world of sports!

The collateral damage is harming my health and I will not be able to continue in the next tournament!"

After harvesting some excitement from the crowd, the presenter prepares for the presentation of the first contestants.

"To the left we have the second generation champion! The wise Tsuru!

Who rose to the first position since the retirement of the martial arts god Muten Roshi!

For those who don't know him!

He is the reason why there are so many strange rules like not throwing techniques like the Kamekameha!

I personally saw him in the first tournaments as a spectator, and I have to agree with the kingdom!

It is better to keep such techniques for when you want to celebrate the new year!

But!

That's not what I wanted to convey!"

He said quickly when he saw Tsuru's dark face.

"What makes Master Tsuru special!

Is that his martial arts are so powerful that he is also in the same realm as Muten Roshi!

What means!

That he is also capable enough to be restricted by the rules!

He has powerful techniques like flying in the sky!

Luckily for him, the state no longer interferes with the rules of the tournament!"

"Do you mean I couldn't win if the rules restricted me?"

Tsuru asks with a frown.

The traditional costume and presence alone makes the presenter cower.

Recovering, the presenter points to the entrance of the arena from the inside.

On the other hand we have a man that everyone will have to remember!

At least from now on!

Since he participated in the 10th tournament!

And he was the first person to be recorded on camera! At the same time, he is also the most talented boy in a century!

Creator of his own technique, technique praised by the Martial Arts God himself!

After training behind closed doors!

He's back to win first place in the competition!*

And he is!

The genius of the century!

Rick Sanchez!"

From the inside Rick comes out to stand on the opposite side of Tsuru.

His entrance with his hands inside the training suit from the top opening to the belt shows how indifferent he feels to his opponent.

"Any words before the fight?"

Tsuru shook his head hoping to finish the tournament already to show his superiority.

Rick on the other hand....

"Yes! I have something to announce."

After looking at the noisy audience he spoke.

"I'm not interrupting the fight for anything.

After training with Master Roshi.

 have decided to found my own martial arts school.

Why?You may ask...

Well, because most fighters are trash."

"Today's fighters are like headless chickens, running around aimlessly. In search of fame, fortune and power." The boos calmed down."However, not everyone can break the limit and stay true to themselves after fame. Achieving power only with self-discipline is quite difficult. Hehe. Especially when you can tear your muscle by overexerting yourself or have a disabled body." Now there were no boos to be heard, and even some were moved."I want to share my method of getting stronger and teach warriors of respect! But .... I don't want to teach garbage. So after showing how capable I am by winning the tournament, I will create tests to accept students into my school. I will notify you through one of my disciples. Enjoy, the next fight."After returning the microphone, the drums of the arena began to sound.With a cymbal at the end, the presenter couldn't help but shout as in previous tournaments."Let the fight begin!"The two fighters faced each other, their eyes full of determination.Tsuru was the first to attack, launching a flurry of punches and kicks.Rick dodged and weaved, his movements fluid and graceful.He then launched a counterattack of his own, using his superior speed and strength to overwhelm Tsuru.Tsuru was caught off guard by Rick's power, and he quickly found himself on the defensive.Rick continued to press the attack, driving Tsuru back with a series of powerful blows.Finally, Rick landed a devastating kick to Tsuru's chest, knocking him unconscious.The referee stepped in and waved off the fight, declaring Rick the winner.Rick raised his arms in victory, as the crowd cheered his name.He had won the tournament, but he knew that his journey was just beginning.He had a school to build, and he was determined to create a new generation of warriors who would fight for what was right.The future of martial arts was in his hands, and he was ready to face it.
