Underground Arena 3

"He is skilled" noted Takeda as he finished up his water.

"Yea, it takes a lot of balance and skill to launch all those kicks. Especially a variety too." nodded Kisara, her legs feeling a bit better.

"Think Kenichi's met his match?" asked Tsuji as he observed the fight.

"You kidding right! Did you forget about him beating Tenmon Li who was a master class martial artist" said Ukita.

"Yeah, but the situation was different at that time. He is wearing more restraints and is using a weapon which he never used before" said Tsuji

"Not possible, he is what you call genius in combat so the more he fights the more strong he becomes," stated Niijima

The four of them blinked before remembering that Kenichi isn't a normal person like them, the more he continues to fight the more strong he will become.

"An expert class?" observed Miu from the side of the ring.

"Yes, he is!" Saeko started nodding his head.

"Though only roughly, Kinda on the low side of it but yeah." acknowledged Sakaki

Kenichi struggled to keep up with Masero because of his fast speed. The man, despite his bloated ego, knew how to fight at the very least. This made Kenichi excited due to getting a chance of fighting someone who could push him a little.

"WATAAA!" screamed Masero as he launched a crushing blow towards Kenichi who blocked it with his staff but was pushed back two steps because of the power behind the kick.

"HAHA very soon I will break that weapon of your then you will become useless, so you might as well give up" boasted Masero, posing once more with his fist up in front of him "No way you will be able to fight without your precious weapon"

He was greeted with one part of the staff to his face, followed by the two other parts to his face and blow on the head.

"I can't believe he actually took his eyes off his opponent" snickered Kisara as Masero staggered backward with his nose bleeding while a slight bump appearing on his head.

"You are too cocky for your own good," said Kenichi as he let go of the three-section staff so as to show this man who he was dealing with.

Masero seeing it as an opportunity rushed towards Kenichi only to take a front kick to the chest followed by a knee to the face and elbow to the head.

His already bleeding nose became a waterfall while the bump on his head had a new friend right beside him.

"Gah, What the hell, I thought you didn't know how to fight without a weapon" groaned Masero.

"Would I have let go of the weapon if I didn't know how to fight without one" Kenichi pointed out as he blocked a fist from Masero and threw him on the ground. Masero quickly got up just in time to take Kenichi's roundhouse kick to his face.

As Masero flew backward, his last scream before falling unconscious could be heard.

The ring fell silent as the man laid unconscious on the ring.

"Well, that ended fast" snickered Niijima as Kenichi once again picked up his weapon to continue the matches.

It was only after the fourteenth match that his three-section staff broke so he decided to end it. Without his weapon, there was no real point in continuing. Not to mention after continuously fighting with many expert class he was getting way much attention then he wanted. To tell the truth, he was getting pressurized for 3 matches straight and he won them only because of his various strategies and his Ki helping him to reduce the stress on his body.

"Well that was a good experience" clapped Sakaki, "Let's get you brats home. I have got some business to get to."

"Mn fine," said Miu before putting her hand out, "But first, the money."

"What money?" said Sakaki innocently, trying not to break out in cold sweat.

After a few seconds of Miu glaring, Sakaki reluctantly passed all the money he gained from betting on the matches. After a short lecture about betting, Miu gave him 50% pf the cut, which was more than enough for him to spend on what he wanted. The rest would be going to the budget for Ryozanpaku. Shiba laughed as he had all his money for himself and some for Takeda.

Seeing Miu behave like this Kenichi couldn't help but shake his head. He had already given a 5% share of Gauche Industries to each of his girlfriend from which they would get a monthly dividend of millions but she still behaves like this.

AT first, none of them except Saeko wanted to take them but after Saeko explained the benefits that being his girlfriend entails and it is proof of him trusting them with so much they decided to take it. Shigure also excepted the shares without any problems but she didn't know what their use was and only took them as a gift from Kenichi. It was only after when Miu explained what it was did she learned about it and kissed Kenichi as a thank you.

On a certain island

Carlo Diego, the Smiling Steel Fist, had woken up in a luxurious bedroom. Whistling, he headed towards the showers and began to strip off all his clothes except his mask, to which he never took off. The mask was a custom job that he himself did, the cloth made with special materials. It could be washed with the face soap that he used, and even if he needed to deep clean the mask he had several methods for it.

"Because it's DIEGO QUALITY!" said Diego to no one in general as he finished washing his mask. Yet Somehow, whenever someone heard him yell out his this phrase, they swore they could somehow hear it all in caps.

Since he had been training his disciple just until yesterday he had decided to take a rest and enjoy his day today. Soon enough he was sitting on a chair out on the balcony, enjoying breakfast as he looked through the news taking in the scene before him. Soon, the D of D would be held here and he as the host, would bring entertainment to the world.
