"Way to go! But-...I didn't know you could do that. Did you use your full strength?" Kiro curiously questioned Akita, he was expecting her to win, but not so easily! Maybe she was a lot stronger than he thought. He'd have to show her and Ally he was just as powerful when his fight came along. A big grin formed on his face, as he just envisioned what his fight would be like. A single punch! No, a kick! A single kick, and his enemy would be sent flying through the air!
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I was hoping there would be more to those guys than what Master Shen told us." Eno smirked, as he watched Akita's match from afar. "I can't wait to see just how close their true power measures up to us." He admitted, especially the eldest of the three, she seemed to lead them, leading Eno to believe she was the strongest. He'd have to pay close attention in her matches.
"Will fighters number 77 and 78 please come to the stage." The referee called for the two fighters, as he looked up from his clipboard to scan the area for any two people reacting to the called numbers.
"I'll be back." Eno confidently informed his fellow student, as if there was little to no chance he'd lose the match, no matter his opponent. The young man casually walked to the stage, looking quite calm for someone's first tournament fight. As he climbed onto the ring, he looked over his shoulder to catch a glance at his opponent, who had been walking just behind him.
It was a middle-aged man in a blue gi, with salt and pepper hair. "You can do this, Jonathan." The fighter mumbled to himself in an attempt of calming his nerves. He tightened his tied belt, as he got closer and closer to the ring, sweat pouring off him like a pig. "You've trained for almost a decade for this! Everyone believes in you!" He encouraged himself, probably seeming pretty peculiar to anyone who may have glanced over in his direction. He was talking to himself, after all. Jonathan climbed onto the ring, as he stood directly across from fighter-number-78, Eno, who still looked just as calm as ever, even as he stared at his opponent.
"Fighters ready!?" The referee asked, as he stood in the middle of the two, he had to make sure neither of them were going to try anything funny before the bell went off.
Jonathan struck a mean offensive stance, as he prepared for battle. Eno, however, stood completely still, leaving himself completely open (seemingly) for any sort of attack. It almost reminded Jonathan of a breathing punching bag. 'Poor kid must be an amateur!' Jonathan assumed, as he settled that he'd try to hold back just a bit of his power for the young boy's sake.
"Begin!" The referee yelled, just as the bell sounded, quickly retreating to the corner for safety.
Jonathan charged at the young boy, as every serious martial artist knew that the first attack was the most important one. However, the man was just a bit too slow.
Eno moved at an amazing speed, to an untrained eye, it would've appeared as if Eno had teleported behind Jonathan. That's what the referee had assumed at least, until...
Jonathan suddenly collapsed on the ground, as he yelled out in pain. "My legs!" He screamed, as he winced on the ground. The man was still determined to continue the fight, however, as he began to push himself back up with both of his hands.
"One!" The referee began the count down, as he held out his fingers in front of Jonathan's face to make him aware of the situation.
"I-I can still fight!" Jonathan tried to convince the referee, only about an inch or two off the ground at this point. Sweat poured down the man's face, as it dripped on the floor below him. He tried to focus on the puddle that was now forming, just to give his mind something else to think about so he could ignore the pain in his legs.
"He won't be getting up. He can't anymore." Eno informed the referee, as he turned his head slightly to get a glance at the man on the ground.
"Tw-! Huh? What do you mean?" The referee paused from counting, as he looked up to meet Eno's cold eyes.
"I shattered both of his legs at the kneecap." Eno informed the referee quite calmly, the faintest smile present on his face.
Jonathan yelled out in pain, just as he tried to apply pressure on his knees in an attempt to sit up. The man immediately fell back down into the same position he was in right after Eno's attack. No matter what he did, no matter how much willpower he still had left, Jonathan wouldn't be able to stand up to be declared conscious.
"Wha-What?! You did what!?" The referee nervously exclaimed.
"That's not against the rules, right? And if he can't stand up, then I win. You can count for however long you want, really. I assure you he won't be standing any time soon.
The referee nodded, his face expressed that he may have even been scared of Eno. "Three!..."
"Four!" He continued. The referee probably went slow on purpose, almost rooting for Jonathan to win, but even with his slowed time, the middle-aged man never stood up, despite trying every step of the way.
Without giving an apology, or even saying a word to his opponent, Eno stepped down from the ring, and walked back over to where he originally stood, as if nothing had happened. He could have easily defeated Jonathan a number of ways with minimal pain towards him, but Eno preferred to watch the man suffer instead. Not only physically, but mentally as well. Jonathan was fully conscious, and despite having the will to continue, he couldn't, no matter how hard he tried.
