I’m Line Haruko Haruko-san blushed and said. Yep, seems like she’s embarrassed with her ring name too.
I asked her between Line Haruko, Haruko Kill Heath, or Midorigawa Oberstein, and this girl picked the simplest one
Staden Haruko and Midorigawa Ofreser were also in the choices
Geez! It’s much better than Trubner Haruko! What’s with that conversation?
So, Remy-san, do you have any young hopefuls in the 48kg class? Rodulfo Seiko-san asks Remy Fujiwara, then.
i do! Of course, I do! I still have three girls in the 48kg class! Come here! Three girls wearing pink training wear come forward.
Koganei Hana
Kurasuyama Chihiro
Shinmachi Sakura! The three of them are.well, they’re normal female athletes.
What, you still have three on you, there’s no problem then! Rodulfo-san said.
If you still Edie-san breaking the rules, then obtain evidence and protest to the referee. Then, make an appeal by the time the match concludes, can you do that?
Right. It’s lame to be complaining after the match is over Margo-san told Remy Fujiwara.
Okay. I’ll be watching her matches. I’m going to see through the truth of that thing you call technique no matter what happens! Remy Fujiwara said.
Okay. Now break off, the matches are about to begin, prepare yourselves! Rodulfo Seiko-san clapped her hands.
Tsk, let’s go The pink training wear army followed Remy Fujiwara and returned to their waiting room.
See you later. I’m looking forward to facing you
Excuse us Rodulfo Seiko-san and Line Haruko-san left. The spectators around also dispersed in groups.
Margo, do you have the athlete list? Edie asked.
Yes, I do MArgo-san took out the list of athletes
Not those people just now. The weird ones who were watching us from the shadows Watching from the shadows?
I can sense some strong Qi from them Edie’s saying that far for those?
Oh, it’s these people Margo-san points at names. Then, spoke to us;
The truth is the Kansai Yakuza sent over a group to fight with us Huh?
We beat them up in real fights, and so they want to win against the Kuromori house in this competition at least. You see, we’re participating in this tournament through the connections of Takasaki-san, which is Kansai Yakuza. So in exchange for cooperating, they sent one of their teams to compete too That means?
They’ve come all the way from Kansai not for winning but to target the people related to the Kuromori house, the team Kuromori I looked at Margo-san’s list. I can see the writing Team Kansai Gachi Toraichi.
They’re all using an alias, but these people are quite skilled Margo-san said.
They have an entry on each class it seems. We’ve got to be cautious. These people will break the rules without thinking about it, using every method that could prevent us from advancing to finals, even trying to injure us Margo-san said and looked at us.
They also might try to take you hostage so be careful. Bodyguards should never let their guard down
Certainly
Roger Michi and Kinuka nodded with a serious look.
We have to be careful too
Yes, Motoko-ojousama The combat young lady and her guard said too.
Haruka-chan and Maria-chan has close coverage on TV so they should be okay, but still Nei said.
No, we should gather up as a team. Let’s go Margo-san said.
Nei, get everyone to the guest seats
Eh, but I’m the team manager Margo-oneechan, I want to stay here. You know, a second trainer that could deliver your needs or something
No, you’re the team manager so you should go to the seats. I think the people who sponsored us are also coming to watch the games
Ya-chan, you have to do the work on the surface so Margo-san can focus on her matches I said.
Okay, got it Nei agreed.
Then, you guys should go to the audience seats now Margo-san smiled.
Yes, good luck. We’ll cheer for you. Edie, you too I said.
Good luck, we’ll be watching Megu too.
We’ll cheer for you Arisu.
Fortunes of war Kuromiya-san said.
We’re looking forward to watching you
Good Luck Mikuriya-san and Kinuka too. Michi just placed her lam on Edie without saying anything.
!
Edie smiles, and Michi remains expressionless. That’s enough for these two who can use Qi techniques.
The matches start with the lighter class and so Edie’s doing the first match, and I’ll do the last Margo-san said with a smile. We’ve reserved our seats so we sit next to each other. Michi and Kinuka sit on the back since they’re bodyguards Kuromiya-san and Mikuriya-san are guests so they’re in the middle.
By the way, do you know what that technique was earlier? Kuromiya-san asks me.
Earlier? The technique that’s similar to electric shock, that numbs the other party?
Yes, that’s right Kuromiya-san smiled.
No, I’m still in my 5th Kyu in Kudou arts so I don’t know I replied with a straight face.
There are points where you get tingles Michi speaks from the side.
If you strike those points, then it’ll numb, it feels like your body is electrified for a moment.
Oh, I see, Edie was poking in those points That’s what happened to the female athletes under Remy Fujiwara’s umbrella. They misunderstood it for her using a stun gun.
No, if you just hit the pressure point, then it won’t have an effect of stopping the opponent’s movement for a moment Michi said.
Edie-san and Mikuriya-san used their Qi as they poke through the points Kuromiya-san said.
That way, the acupuncture points of the human body, or meridians, are the concentration points of nerves and blood vessels, and the qi that is pushed into them will spread throughout the body.
Oh, so they feel like they were shocked. I understood.
In Kudou arts, the technique is called Raishouin Raiden, but it seems that Edie also had a similar technique Yeah, the skills Edie learned in the assassination cult in New Orleans. There’s an aggressive use of Qi.
However, for Edie-san to use that technique so much during the qualifiers. Kuromiya-san sid.
I guess Edie-san is weak at pinning? Huh? Chapter 1193. Fighting On All Athletes Enter! Chapter 1193. Fighting On All Athletes Enter! I guess Edie-san is weak at pinning? Kuromiya Motoko-san, the young lady knowledgeable in combat, said. The technique that numbs the enemy body for an instant named Raishouin Raiden, is when one sends a wave of Qi on an acupuncture point, which is integral for the nerve and blood vessels. Edie’s been using that technique during the qualifiers. We’ve trained it a few times so far but Edie’s only done standing throw techniques, and never knocking the opponent down to pin them Kuromiya-san’s learning bodywork from Edie and Michi at the joint training session for the young ladies and their guards at the old training hall of Kouzuki SS. Edie and my techniques focus on actual combat after all Michi said. Actual combat isn’t designed for one-on-one combat with a time limit and referees like competitive martial arts. Especially when it’s one versus many, if you try to pin one enemy, others will attack Yeah, even when you pin one. The others can come after your back or head, and that’s dangerous. In the worst-case scenario, you have to assume that enemies will flee when you take them down one after another. Furthermore, our roles are bodyguards, and so, we must always know the position of our Master who we are supposed to protect. Therefore, we need to fight standing when possible When pinning a person, you can beat one, but it takes time for your next action Michi said. Kuromiya-san nodded. Edie is new to this kind of competitive fighting I muttered. One-on-one mixed martial arts fight with rules. Inside a ring, with a time limit and a referee. When fighting against someone who’s primarily a standing fighter, MMA fighters will basically tackle you down and win by pinning you Kuromiya-san said. And so, when Edie’s pinned down. Yes, I think that she’s using Raishouin Raiden before the opponent can pin her down I think that’s what I’ll do in that kind of fight too Kuromiya-san’s bodyguard Mikuriya-san looked at the ring and said. I learned the Raishouin technique from Michi-san too, and it’s convenient. If it’s a perfect it, you can stop your opponent from moving for a few seconds. That’s enough for a counterattack Even if you’re tackled and rolled over, you can use Raishouin before the opponent tries to roll you over. You can get up while your opponent is numbed. But. But, if that’s really the case, then won’t it be a hard fight for Edie? She will be tackled down and pinned unless she heavily uses that technique. I guess the fights inside the ring is different? I think the texture of the ground is also different I see. Kuromiya-san might be right. The ring’s mat is made of material that absorbs shock so it might not be harder of a step than a regular floor. Then. Nufufu Don’t worry about that Yo-chan! Nei laughed. I watched the qualifiers this morning but Edie never got down to the mat Huh? I mean, she defeated all of them in an instant. She knocks out her opponent right at the start of the match I see Yes. Or should I say that she’s been using her Qi technique on her first shot? She numbs the opponent and then knocks them down on the second shot Nei explained. No, if that’s the case, Edie can win even without using her Qi technique, right? If she can move like usual even in the ring, and she could knock down her opponents before they tackle her, then,. I think that Edie’s just purposely getting bad rep Nei said. I think she’s purposely using her Qi techniques so her enemies spread out the rumors saying She must be doing something against the rules Where your body gets numb like it’s electrified. Athletes aren’t subjected to such techniques normally so. This is weird! I’m sure that she’s hiding a stun gun or something, or so they’ll believe. Of course, everyone can see that Edie can’t hide something like that during the match, but. If one of the people who played against Edie says that it’s weird, the story will continue to grow until it becomes I’m sure that she did foul play. That’s why we were surrounded by the European Fujiwara group. Remy Fujiwara must’ve thought that it really was since several of her students testified with a straight face that it was foul. But, why would Edie do that? I don’t get it. She could win normally and not spread any bad reputation, and yet. Why is she making herself hated by her opponents? I think that bad reputation is also an effective way to gain popularity, right? Megu said. Sure, Edie will become popular if she spreads rumors that she’s definitely breaking the rules. They’ll probe to see what kind of foul play she’s doing and then. That’s not enough Michi? Edie isn’t a martial artist That means. I think that Edie’s just fighting her own battle I can understand. If I’m to fight in this place, then it would be very much like me Kinuka said. Of course, I’ll strictly observe the rules, but, I have no need to have the athlete mind Oh, I see. So it’s that kind of resolve Kuromiya-san said. I can understand that Mikuriya-san said. The bodyguards, Michi, Kinuka, Kuromiya-san. Then, Kuromiya Motoko-san who practices Kuromiya spear arts. Those who know martial arts can understand Edie’s feelings. Yoshi-kun, do you? Megu looked at me. Nope Arisu looked at me confused too. Nei’s going on with her usual smile. Well, you’ll get it when you see what Edie’s been thinking! Nei seems to understand how Edie feels during the preliminaries. Oh, it’s starting! The match venue lights up. Oh, the audience seats are already fully occupied. Then, the announcer speaks. Thank you for waiting. We will begin the main round of the 48Kg class! Then, beans of spotlight fall over the ring along with the music. An old man is standing there. The old man held the microphone then. Everyone, we’ve met again! He shouts. Today is the day where we see who’s the strongest woman in Japan! The sky outside is blue! It’s a beautiful day today! A perfect day to die! The old man smiled happily. That’s the organizer of today’s contest Nei whispered to me. Edogawa Nagaharu, he’s a chairman of a large food company, but he also loves martial arts and organizing these tournaments I see. Let’s not talk about anything unnecessary and I’ll introduce the athletes as soon as possible. I want to watch them too. Well then, that’s enough time. Let’s start with the lightest class! Let’s enjoy! The announcer continues. All 48kg class athletes, enter! Female athletes come to the ring from the side one after another. The first one is the professional killer in the black tracksuit! The Master of Stateless creative Martial arts! Line Haruko from the Golden Balm Gym! That was Rodulfo Seiko-san’s disciple earlier. A cool and beautiful girl.
