"What!? It could kill someone!? Why did you even teach me the technique!?" Kiro went back in the fetal position, as he continued to mope. "I can't use the technique if there's a chance the guy could die from it. I really am going to die." He drew circles in the sand.

Bakusa scratched the back of his head. He trained on that sand, he couldn't have Kiro staining it with his womanly tears. "Hey, kid!" Bakusa yelled out to the boy.

"Huh, what is it?" Kiro stood up from the ground, wiping his tears away.

"In honor of, uh today being the anniversary of when Muay Thai was created, I'm going to teach you a technique or two of my own to defeat this enemy of yours." He lied to cover up his true reasons, as he rubbed the back of his head.

"Is it going to kill me?" Tears started to form in Kiro's eyes.

"Stop crying, you little baby!" Bakusa screamed harshly at him, as he then caught a glimpse of Asuka's expression. 'Right, right. I need to be gentle with him. Like hunting a deer. You have to ease up on him, careful not to startle it; that's when you rip it to shreds!' Bakusa thought up his new strategy. "I mean, no, no, don't worry. I am probably one of the gentlest of masters, I assure you." He completely changed his tone to try and reel Kiro back in. "Now, Kiro, can you tell me a bit more about his fighting style? Do you think he's more of a sports fighter, or a street thug?" He calmly questioned.

"Well, I'm not really sure, actually. Niijima telling us was the first time I had ever heard of the guy. Why, is it important?" Kiro curiously responded.

"To know an opponent's precise fighting style is one of the most important thing!" Bakusa went back to screaming angrily, as he clenched his fists.

"I'm so sorry, please don't kill me!" Kiro cried, as he ran to hide behind Asuka.

"No, wait, Kiro, come back. I'm sorry, I got a little carried away there. I was just hoping you could tell me so we could get a better idea on how to deal with him." Bakusa did another complete personality shift, as he rubbed his chin. "If his 'iron grip' is as terrifying as everyone says it is, we will assume that he is a sports fighter."

"Okay, fair enough." Kiro agreed with a nod, as he slowly inched back to Bakusa.

"You see, Kiro, judo mainly focuses on throws, chokes, and joint locks. And in an actual judo match, this is how you would get your points to win. Guys will spend years trying to master these moves, eventually getting to the point where they could throw and sling you around in whatever sort of way they desired. Remember that in the fight, once you get in their grip, you're like putty in their hands. You have to be extra careful, especially if the guy's trained." The master explained, as Kiro butted in.

"I get it, they're really scary. But what does this have to do with me beating them, Sensei Bakusa!?" Kiro begged to know the answer.

"I was getting to it!" He screamed at him again, but quickly reverted back to his calm tone of speaking. "You see, you spend so long preparing for judo matches, you forget what it's like in a real fight. A lot of times fighters work to perfect their biggest strengths, rather than their weakest weaknesses. You see, in competitive judo, strikes aren't allowed, and so many judo fighters don't focus so much on how to use them, and more importantly, how to properly block them." Bakusa further explained.

Kiro slammed his fist down into an open palm. "I get it now!" He happily exclaimed.

Bakusa smirked, he was almost having fun teaching the kid what he had to offer. "Now that that's explain, let me tell you a little bit about Muay Thai. You see, in the world of martial arts, Muay Thai is known as the Science of Eight Limbs," he began,

Kiro counted his own limbs, only coming up with four. "What do you mean? A person only has four limbs." Kiro reassured the master.

"You have elbows and knees, don't you!? A Muay Thai fighter uses them so much, they're included in too." Bakusa went back to screaming, as Kiro had rudely interrupted him once more. He coughed awkwardly. "I understand your masters have neglected to teach you any techniques using your other four limbs. In Muay Thai, however, they are crucial in fighting, as they can be used in very powerful techniques. In my opinion, it might be your best hope to defeat this judo-freak. One solid blow at an unguarded opening is all it would take to put him down, I promise." Bakusa smirked, just as confident in his abilities as every other master.

"Oh, I see!" A wide smile appeared on Kiro's face, as he was eager to learn. "I'm ready for whatever you have to teach me, sir!"

Kiro tried the move all over again, as he open palm was caught once more. "Okay, sensei, I won't hold back this time!" He assured him, as he used the combined power of both arms to shoot out one deadly attack to Rekin's chin. Even at Kiro's low level, any normal man would be seriously injured from this attack.

Bakusa smirked. "That's better, kid."

"Uh, right!" Kiro nodded, as he quickly shot his open palm up to the master's chin, who easily caught. Kiro wasn't even trying to go slow. "And then I use my other hand, right?" Kiro questioned before doing so, as the master nodded. "Here I go!" Kiro exclaimed, as he used his other hand to push his right arm upward. Kiro didn't use all of his force, as he knew the damage that could be done.

"Kiro, what are you doing!?" Bakusa screamed at the boy, as he listened to the technique take place. "If you practice holding back, then you're only going to do the same when it comes to the real fight! You need to practice using your full strength, or else you'll never be able to use it when you need it the most! You think that Iron Grip Shaz guy will be affected by a weak form like that!? He'd knock you flat on your back, as soon as you finished!" Bakusa screamed at him, as the other masters glared at him. He kept saying he wasn't actually going to train Kiro, but he sure did butt in a lot for someone who was only spectating.

"Uh, yes, sensei, I apologize! I'll try, I just, didn't want to hurt anyone." Kiro laughed awkwardly, as he bowed to Bakusa.

"Don't call me that, you idiot! I'm no master of yours!" He angrily expressed, as he had began to blush once Kiro called him sensei.

"Master, why!" Kiro screamed out, as he went flying through the air. Kiro landed flat on his back, as he rubbed his neck. "It felt like my neck was about to break! How'd you do that, old man!?" Kiro explained to his master, as he quickly ran over to his master's feet. "Please! Teach me your ways, Great Sensei Rekin!" Kiro cried, as he hugged the man's legs. "I need to know this technique!" He continued to cry.

"Okay, okay," Kiro mumbled, as he slowly dragged himself up off the ground. "Is this some ancient kung fu fighting technique brought down from generation to generation?" Kiro asked, hoping that this would indeed be the answer to all his problems. The uppercut came slow, as Kiro easily caught it. He could tell he was holding back a lot of his power. Especially when he compared it to how he saw the other masters move when they trained. "What now?" He questioned, as he held onto Rekin's wrist. Kiro yawned, how was this actually going to help him!?

Niijima carefully climbed down from the wall, as he made his way behind Kiro, for protection. "Kiro, you knows these monsters?" He whispered into his ear, as he ducked a bit to conceal himself from the others. Maybe they would forget he existed.

"Yes, sadly." Kiro sighed in response to both, as he pushed Niijima a bit away from him. "This is just an annoying pest from my school." Kiro mumbled, as he shot Niijima a look. "And these guys," He told Niijima, as he gestured to his masters.

Bakusa joined the crowd, as he crossed his arms at the newcomer. He prayed to himself that it wasn't yet another disciple.

"Your loyal underlings that would be willing to do whatever you say?!" Niijima quickly tried to finish his sentence, as he put on quite the menacing grin. "Oh, what I could do with some powerful beings like them..." The pointy-eared man laughed, as he imagined the carnage and destruction he could bring with them under his thumb.

"Uh, no, quite the opposite, actually." Kiro laughed awkwardly, as he tried to explain. "These guys are my masters. There's Asuka, Bakusa, Rekin, Shin, and the Elder, Muhai, but he's away on business right now." The boy explained, gesturing to each one as he named them for Niijima.

"I see, I see. It's all starting to make sense now." Niijima pulled out his PDA again, as he started to tap away, probably relating to the new information he had been given by Kiro.

"Hey, this isn't show and tell, you punk!" Bakusa angrily yelled at the newcomer, as he raised a single fist. "You better start explaining what you were doing here, or else I might not be able to stop myself any longer from pounding your face in." He threatened.

"Yeah, Niijima, why are you here, anyway? How did you even know where to find this place?" Kiro questioned, he didn't really think about it through all of the intensity from Shin and Asuka.

Niijima took a step back, as he shook in fear at the intimidating masters just beyond Kiro. "Y-Yes, yes," Niijima stuttered, as he turned the PDA's screen to face Kiro and his masters. It was a picture of some long-haired guy with sunglasses. "This is Shaz Fujishima, and word on the street is that he's looking for you, buddy! As for how I got here, don't you worry your little head about that!" Niijima exclaimed, as he pointed to Kiro.

"M-Me!? What the heck does he want with me!?" Kiro asked, although, he already had a good answer as to why.

"You see, Shaz is apart of the gang Ragnarok. Ragnarok, the most dangerous gang in the whole district, heard about your little fight with Ijime (somehow), and now wants you to either join them, or be crushed by them. It doesn't look like this guy has any intent on leaving you unscathed, though. He's looking for a fight, rather you want to join Ragnarok or not. The guy sort of just does what he wants." Niijima shared his info with Kiro, as even though it all seemed rather serious, he still had his usual wicked smile.

Kiro's face went pale white, as he sunk to the ground. "What am I going to do!? He looks pretty tough." Kiro cried.

"My intel tells me he's a master in judo, Iron Grip Shaz they call him, because once you get in his grip, you're done for! Impossible to escape from! I've seen it first hand, you don't get out unless he wants you to." Niijima laughed as if he wanted Kiro to be afraid, as the pointy-eared boy recalled the match between Shaz and the other member of Ragnarok.

"Oh, a fight? Is that all?" Bakusa laughed, as if it weren't that big of a deal. "You better watch out, Kiro, this judo guy does sound pretty tough. I'm not sure if you're ready for all that yet, kid." The master seemed like he had more to say, but couldn't get it all out from all of his laughter, as he patted the disciple on the back. His face suddenly turned stone cold. "Now, if that's all you came to say, you best be leaving, Pointy Ears. This is a dojo for martial artists, unless of course, you're looking to spar." The blind man informed him.

'H-How did he know I had pointy ears!?' Niijima frighteningly questioned in his mind, as he slowly started to back away from the Muay Thai Demon. "Well, that's all I wanted to stop by and tell you, Kiro!" Niijima nervously informed, as he quickly turned around in a sprint. If he stayed around any longer, he'd probably be killed! "I'll see you around at school," He did his famous Niijima Jump, as he hopped onto the roof of the gate. "or not..." He laughed wickedly, as he climbed back over.

"Hey, wait! What do you mean by that!? Come back here!" Kiro angrily exclaimed at Niijima, but it was already far too late. The alienoid demon was gone. Kiro lied on the ground, as he got into a fetal position. "I'm going to die, again." Kiro mumbled to himself, as he remembered when Shin had almost 'killed' him by using the pressure point technique. "Iron Grip Shaz? Anyone with a nickname like that has to be extremely strong. You guys warned me this would happen, and now one of the most dangerous gangs around wants me to beat the crap out of me..." He continued to mumble.

Kiro slowly turned around, confused at his masters' comments, as he watched Shin fly at Niijima. "What are you doing here!? Niijima quick, look out, he's a monster when it comes to his tea!" Kiro cried out to his schoolmate, as tears streamed down from his face. It was over for Niijima, Shin was one of the strongest guys he knew. He didn't like the alienoid, but he definitely didn't want to see him die!

"No, please!" Niijima exclaimed, as he held out a single hand to try and stop Shin. "Please, shinigami, spare me for entering your sacred land!" He begged for his life, as he closed his eyes tightly to prepare for the kick.

Bakusa sighed at the commotion from the other masters. Even a man without any eyes could tell Niijima was of no threat to them.

Niijima stood in front of the enormous gate, as he shoved his PDA back into his pocket. "Wow, that's one intimidating door." He laughed, as he proceeded to try and push open one of the doors. It wouldn't budge one bit! "They must have locked it from the other side." Niijima wrongly assumed, as he started to walk back down the path he had just came from. "Oh well, what is a spy suppose to do..." He shrugged, supposedly giving up, until he suddenly stopped. "Niijima jump!" He screamed, as he pulled off an amazing jump onto the flat part of the gate's roof. He wobbled on the gate, as he struggled to keep his balance. He got onto his belly, as he dangled his leg on the other side of the gate, slowly easing himself down so the drop wouldn't be so bad. Suddenly he looked up, as he could feel several eyes watching him.

Sweat poured down furiously from Niijima's face, as once Shaz had taken away the bag of trash, his hiding spot was completely revealed (he's squatting in the trash can). The boy sighed in relief, as Shaz walked off. 'He didn't notice me...' He thought, as he picked a banana peel off from his head. 'Kiro, my boy, I'm not sure if you'll be able to take this guy, even with your kung fu skills.' He pulled out his PDA, as he got to work on tapping. 'Darn it, this will ruin my entire plan if he gets crushed now! However, it's still always good to root for the winning team...' He weighed his options, as he slowly disappeared back into the trashcan.

(Later, near Ryozanpaku...)

Niijima peaked around a bush, as he trailed Kiro and Ally back to the dojo. He poked at a few things on his PDA, as he laughed silently. "Looks like I'll be killing two birds with one stone today." He whispered. "My original mission was to have Kiro aware of his new threat, but now..." He continued to whisper to himself, as he crawled through the bushes to continue to follow the pair in secret. "I'll get to see where the kid's been getting all of his amazing power from!" He practically screamed this, as he couldn't help but get excited.

"Huh?" Kiro turned his head to look behind him, as he could have sworn he heard someone. "Must've been nothing." He shrugged to Ally, as they continued walking.

Niijima shivered slightly, as he lied very low to the ground, holding his mouth to keep himself from making a peep. 'Get a hold of yourself, Niijima!' He slapped himself. 'You're a professional!' He reminded himself.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"We're home, guys!" Kiro yelled out, as he and Ally entered the dojo's grounds. He was slightly nervous today, as the mysterious Master Rekin was suppose to teach him. After Shin whipped him, treated him like a horse, and almost killed him, he just wanted to go back to Asuka. In comparison, the latter was a much more gentle master, he could only imagine what this new teacher had to offer to him.

Bakusa was training as usual, as he stood in front of several dozen stone statues. He took in a deep breath, as he charged at his 'opponents'. The Muay Thai God of Destruction threw about ten punches, ten elbow blows, ten kicks, and twenty knee blows, all within the span of about a second. He let out his breath, as he stood on the other side of the statues now. Each one crumbled to pieces, as all that was left now of the statues were their bases. He completely obliterated them all.

The man rubbed his arms, as Shaz had really left a mark. "Hey!" He exclaimed, as he looked up at the man. "You're not getting off that easy, you punk! Show me some respect, I'm your commanding officer!" He angrily shouted, as he shot out a furious roundhouse to Shaz's head. Attacking when the opponent wasn't looking, a technique for a coward. The man figured if he could catch the Judo user off guard, then he would be able to sweep the floor with him with ease.
