Martial Arts System

In Kurogami Residence.

"W-Why is he still fighting? He should go to the hospital!" Azumi shouted with a pale face.

Eiji bit his nail, "M-Maybe his injury isn't as bad as it looked?"

"A hand pierced his body!" Azumi screamed.

Ayako and Leia became timid because of the shouting.

Amanda was also pale white. She almost felt her heart stopping after seeing the hand pierce Ichiro's body. It felt like she fell down to the coldest pits of hell.

"Enough." Lucas' voice echoed in the house.

"He is fine," Lucas said.

"H-How can he be fine?!"

"Look." Lucas pointed at the TV.

Just in time to see Ichiro smash Avery's head to the ground.

*CHEERS*

The house exploded in cheers.

Azumi widened her eyes.

Maxwell was clapping loudly.

"G-GO BIG BROTHER!" Ayako cheered loudly.

"H-How…" Azumi couldn't understand.

An ordinary human would be already dead after that injury.

"You shouldn't use common sense with Ichiro anymore… He is no longer the bullied kid." Lucas said, "From now on, he is in the realm which is above ordinary humans."

…

In Nightside Residence.

Azura's heart was beating rapidly.

"I-Is he fine?" Alena asked.

Abyss nodded with a smile, "He is fine."

"Whew." Aether wiped his sweat, "When the hand pierced his body, he moved his heart out of the way, right?"

Abyss nodded, "Yea, Avery wanted to kill him, but Ichiro managed to move all important organs and the heart out of the way."

Alena and Azura sweatdropped.

Why are you two talking so casually about moving hearts and organs like it isn't a big deal?!

…

In Sunlove Residence.

"YES!" Luna cheered loudly.

She had a massive smile on her beautiful face.

It has been a long time since she had a genuine smile and not a fake one, which she used with other nobles.

"Gooo! Ichiro!" Luna hugged her teddy bear and cheered loudly.

She quickly went to her desk and grabbed a laptop.

She sat back on her bed and opened the laptop.

She went to the tournament website where the chat room was located.

She looked at the viewer count.

[594,690]

594 thousand people were watching the tournament from the tournament website.

[Runroll: How is he alive?!]

[Electry: Kings are so terrifying! He acts like the wound is nothing!]

[Talker: Weakest King? Bullshit! He is fucking monster!]

Luna smugly smiled while looking at the comments.

She tried to type something as well, but a message popped up.

[Account Needed!]

[Sign Up?]

Luna decided to sign up.

[Name:]

"Hmm…" Luna pondered before she smiled and started typing.

[Welcome!]

[Name: Kurogami Luna!]

She smiled and went to chat.

But she, of course, looked at the TV with great concentration.

She can't miss the scene of her idol beating up that monster!

…

In Snowland's Hospital.

"YES!" Michael cheered loudly.

Alice and Liam sighed a relief.

Michael was tapping the ground with his feet.

He has never been this nervous before.

*Murmur*

Loud voices came from the corridor.

Michael, Alice, and Liam raised an eyebrow.

Michael was curious and peeked outside the room towards the corridor.

He saw doctors and nurses moving in a hurry towards one of the rooms.

"I will be back soon," Michael said and started walking in the corridors.

Soon afterward, he arrived at the place of commotion.

There was a young man with blue hair lying on the bed. His body was filled with all kinds of equipments just to keep him alive, especially around his stomach. His face was pale white, and he looked like he was in great pain.

Michael widened his eyes in shock, "SARIEL!"

Michael wanted to enter the room but was stopped by two doctors.

"You can't enter!"

"Is he alright?!" Michael asked with panic.

The doctors didn't answer— instead, they closed the door.

Michael could only watch from the window as Sariel was crying in agony.

"No…" Michael murmured with a pale face.

…

Avron and rest.

"Young master?!"

"Avery, stop playing around!" Avron shouted angrily.

But on the TV, Avery didn't move at all.

"YOU CANNOT LOSE!" Avron's enraged voice was heard in the mansion.

…

Avery slowly moved his head out of the ground.

He lied down on the ground.

His chest was moving up and down.

'I-I am gonna lose..?' Avery thought with blurry vision, but then his father's enraged voice echoed in his ears.

'YOU CANNOT LOSE!'

'That's right… I can't lose… I have to show those bitches what happens when you reject me… Once I become Emperor… No one can reject me…' Avery stood up with his shaky legs.

The sky was getting darker, and the moon slowly rose to the sky.

There was a ceiling in the stadium, but there were windows that showed the beautiful night sky.

Filled with stars and a huge moon.

Moon…

Avery's eyes started slowly turning into bright blue!

His skinny figure started slowly transforming, and he began to have more muscles.

His 175cm figure became 185cm tall.

Avery's transformation was soon over.

His beautiful blond hair, which was stained in blood, became even longer, and his handsome face became even more otherworldly. His face was like delicate treasure, which could break by one touch.

He turned his body towards Ichiro.

The stadium was quiet.

First, it was Ichiro who did transformation… Now it was Avery!

"This is the Bloodline ability of the Moonstar family!" Avery shouted mightly, "BOW DOWN TO ME!"

Quite a lot of audience members listened and bowed— it was like a natural reaction.

Ichiro only saw Avery's mouth moving, but he didn't hear a sound.

Moonstar family's Bloodline ability is to borrow Moon's power and become stronger for a limited amount of time.

Usually, Bloodline ability is a heavily guarded secret.

But now… Avery revealed it.

Avery stood in front of Ichiro.

But Ichiro was still one head taller than him.

"You should bow down to me…" Avery murmured hatefully— he clenched his fist and punched at Ichiro's torso.

*SWISHH*

Ichiro was sent sliding backward for a few meters, there was a visible fist-sized red mark on his torso, but there was no sign of him being in pain… Because he moved his muscles just in time to block most of the damage.

Avery leaped towards Ichiro.

[Ultimate Moon Technique – Moon Cross!]

Avery crossed his arms. He kept his hands in a cross position— he planned to do a downwards cross chop towards Ichiro's neck!

Ichiro's right arm went into a spear-like stance.

He aimed it towards incoming Avery.

Once both of them were close enough.

Avery did his downwards cross chop!

[Iron Lance – Stainless-Steel!]

Ichiro's spear-like arm approached Avery's torso.

*BAM*
