__________Narration___________

Standing in front of each other, Yuji and Agito stared at each other with intensity, the teenager holding his ground even with such pressure exploding from the body of Metsudo's fifth prey, his brow furrowed as his eyes glittered dangerously.

.

Flashback.

Sitting on the couch, the three men talked among themselves while Kou sat watching TV. The little girl was cautious, but after Yuji explained that the two were her guardians, she immediately relaxed.

"I found her right after I arrived. I've been taking care of her ever since." Yuji spoke as he looked at the little girl's back. "She has become important to me."

Mokichi and Agito did not speak, the former with his arms crossed while a small smile appeared on his lips.

"That's good. I'm glad to see you've found something in this place to protect." Mokichi spoke up.

"The place looks like hell, but some people are not at all evil. Many are just people who are trying to survive at all costs, so I can't blame them." With a sigh escaping his lips, Yuji turned to the two masters with a small smile.

"You have given me a year to dominate the district, but I think I will surprise your expectations quite a bit." He spoke with confidence.

Agito, who was silent at all times, turned his gaze to the boy with his usual inexpressive face, Yuji was surprised when the man suddenly began to look at him.

"The main bodyguard of the organization that dominates Rikuko, he is very strong." Agito spoke, Yuji softening his gaze as he listened to his words. "Compared to him, you are weak. Even if you train relentlessly to exhaustion for that entire month, you will never be able to beat him."

Mokichi showed an uncomfortable expression as he listened to Agito, but he knew this was something Yuji needed to hear. The first elite was a monster that even he was incapable of beating, so he just kept silent. The last thing he wanted was for his student to be killed because of his overconfidence.

"I see..." Yuji's expression darkened, the boy turning his gaze downward as he thought about what he had been told.

As predicted by him, the first elite was a complete monster. Agito didn't praise fighters like this on a whim, so he could only imagine that the administrators' top bodyguard was at least 2 attribute rankings above him. This frustrated him a bit, but it wouldn't stop his plans. With his skills, he was sure he was capable of taking down opponents of higher ranks than him. Nothing like Kanoh, for the man was simply a calamity.

"The man known as the first elite of the Rikuko district, was a member of the Kure family." Agito spoke calmly, Yuji's eyes widening in shock as he immediately turned his attention back to him. "That's why I gave you a year."

'That makes things even more complicated.'

Yuji clenched his jaw hard, his confidence shaken after receiving such detail from his future opponent. As confident as he was in his abilities, fighting someone who knew the techniques of the Kure family and possibly had access to one of, if not the most powerful technique in the entire Kengan Ashura universe, was something he certainly couldn't do at the moment.

He wasn't crazy enough to use [Advance] to the max to try to match it with "Removal," because that would certainly bring consequences that even his adaptation and regeneration would be unable to correct. Even if the [Advance] wasn't affecting his heart or memories, that didn't mean that using it to its fullest would do nothing to his body. It would just end up being too much pressure to bear.

Thinking while remaining silent, Yuji stared at the two masters with intensity.

"Masters, help me get stronger."

Present.

.

After the request, Agito said he would teach him. Yuji was surprised by this, but didn't question it and just followed him out of the pharmacy.

Immediately, Prey said that they would fight, because this was the best way to learn, and if Yuji's talent was really as he believed, it would bring the boy many benefits.

Yuji was apprehensive at first, but remembering that he would be facing a Kure, he agreed, standing in front of Kanoh with an intense expression.

This led to the present moment, where after facing each other, the two of them moved a few meters apart. Kou, who was watching Yuji with concern, was pleading in his mind for him to be okay. Mokichi, seeing the girl's condition, just kept his arms crossed while looking at the scene with a complicated expression. Even he didn't know what to expect from such a fight, but no matter how cunning Yuji was, he couldn't expect the boy to be able to escape this with minor injuries. Right now, he could only pray that the boy would not end up too weakened.

.

__________Yuji Pov.___________

As much as I wanted to refute him, I could not. Kanoh was much stronger and more experienced than I was, so I knew that this was not merely the man's speculation. He recognized someone's strength when he saw it, so it would not be an exaggeration to believe that in my current state, I would be destroyed by the first Elite unilaterally.

So in this fight, I would observe every punch, every kick, every grab, every movement of his shoulders, every little detail that the man in front of me demonstrated. If I could evolve by fighting him, it would narrow the distance between me and the elite considerably.

At least that's what I expected.

Setting up my stance, I decided on an orthodox approach, jumping while maintaining a common MMA stance.

With an excited smile, my aura unconsciously escaped my body, my eyes glittering with anticipation as I watched Agito mount a low stance, his stance commonly used in most of his fights.

"..."

"..."

The moment Agito took a step forward, I anticipated his advance, propelling myself toward him while sending him two jabs at full speed.
