Advent Of Tender Slap

They went back, shit and ate, then they were taken to a hall where different instructors were training kids how to fight.

"Choose a fighting style and learn from the instructor!" Saying that he left.

"Which fighting style will you choose? I use Ginder but I don't see any Ginder style here!" Elya said.

"It's about winning. Choose the easiest and defeat your opponent." Noah said before walking around watching the fights but he had no intention of learning. Just seeing if there was any surprise in store for him.

He knew that the majority of the kids here may end up facing him. Knowing their fighting style will make it easier for him to slap them to submission.

Elya on the other hand was smart enough to understand he was in trouble, for that reason, he mediated his fights and then got his mindset ready to face the danger. Noah was impressed by that but he knew the kid should try harder to win.

At the end of the day, they had dinner and went to sleep. This time, Noah confirmed they were induced with sleep but it was by smoke not by food. He doesn't mind that for now.

As always, the sleep was relaxing due to the smoke and then they washed and then soaked in 12 Minutes of White Milk.

Today they would have to fight. Elya has won 8 matches, so he has two more to finalize as an intro. When he was called to fight, he was quick and decisive. The fights yesterday have woken him up to the reality of things.

He came and sat beside Noah and said, "I don't know you won all of your fights!" 

"Yeah. He wants my teeth so I have to give him his fight!" He points at Metal Head. 

"Tender Slap!" 

Noah was called. He stood and went out. 

"Blow Horn!" 

A boy, almost two meters tall, walked out. If not because of his facial features he would have been mistaken as a man.

"Hello. Tender Slap." He said with a smile his muscles spasming every second. Noah tilted his head and looked him up and down before he shook his head.

'Should I continue with my palm?' Seth wondered. 

"Fight!"

Blow Horn dashed with a fist. Noah nodded in his mind the boy knew some footwork and also knew how to throw a punch. Noah dodge to the left before the first landed, Blow Horn adjusted fast and he slammed with his left hand, intending to push Noah to his right fist.

The boy was tall and had good reach, so he entertained the idea of locking Noah's head with his hands. However, Noah bent down.

A knee strike came forward. "Wow!" Noah was surprised, 'he can change his centre of gravity pretty fast. His muscles aren't for show. He is good!'

Noah put both his hands on the knee and took the blow but that served to push him back. Right as Noah stabilized, Blow Horn was already throwing another attack, this time his stance was strange, Noah dodged but he met with the second hand, which forced him to take a step back.

Elya kneeled to see to fight well, "Damn. They are all fast. Noah is a monster. No wonder the top ten aren't messing with him!" 

The top ten were the Top Ranking Trainee in Floating Feather. Noah was ranked 40 by now.

Not only Elya, but even Gaggard was also really surprised at how effectively Noah was evading and adjusting to attack while he refused to send a single attack.

On purpose to test something, Noah allowed a punch to land on his arms as he protected his face, which sent him back. Are both of them fighting or was it a good one-minute one-sided assault?

"You are fast!" Blow Horn said but then he stood in a specific way which aided him to recover his breath. Noah did the same and this time he raised his palms, one leg in front of the other. He also has a small smile.

Blow Horn frowned, he knew what this might entailed but he smiled and thought, 'I might as well beat him up now' then he dashed forward this time more furious than before.

Blow Horn was specifically chosen to beat Noah up because he had angered most of the audience that bet on the other kid in his first fight. Gaggard doesn't mind that too because only when a fighter has a bitter loss will he have more control of them. Noah seemed too confident for his liking.

"You are good, so I will respect you!"

SLAP

He said before he dodge and Slapped the side ribs of Blow Horn, at the same time he bent and moved to the back.

SLAP

SLAP

Two more slaps on Blow Horn's back. Blow Horn turned with a punch, Noah followed his foot's work and appeared at the other side.

SLAP

Blow Horn raised his leg and made a 290° kick. Noah bent and dodge but the moment he stopped he tackled Blow Horn by carrying his thigh fast and precise and raised him above the ground before slamming him on his back.

"It's a Boxing Match! Disqualify him" The old man that accused Noah before, shouted.

"It's Group B Match. No specific fighting style is required!" Gaggard quickly said.

The referee by the side did nothing and his eyes were on the pitiful body of Noah. The boy has an interesting smile on his face. Unlike his previous ten fights, he seemed to enjoy it.

Blow Horn stood and hopped to clear his head but everyone can see he was flustered before he dashed to fight again.

SLAP

SLAP

Noah realized the boy would cry out of frustration, and he allowed him to land a punch on his chest but Blow Horn felt Noah's body like a balloon, as soon as he landed the first, Noah was pushed back. There was no damage at all.
