The Jotyu High arena, a bowl carved into the forest's back, pulsed with students. Every Sensei had picked their best: three or four warriors to prove the younger generation's fire. The air hummed. Trials ended. Now Sadori's turn.
"Who's that?" Kira wiped sweat, squinting. A red-cloned teen stalked into the ring—flames in his steps. Red eyes, hair like spiked crimson, muscles rippling.
"That's akamaru Chucks," Kojou said, voice low. "Second-year Jotyu soccerer. Speed and strength. Kung Fu doesn't lie."
Chun-yin's breath hitched. "He knows kung-fu."
Yaze's whisper cut like a knife: "Sadori!" The aura rolling off Chucks screamed danger. If this turned ugly…
*hajime Sadori vs. " akamaru Chucks"*
The sun slored, casting the forest into a bronze amphitheater. Sadori's silver White hair whipped like a dark banner. "I'm not gonna lose!" He slammed his fist into the earth. The ground trembled—a vortex sucked leaves into a cyclone.
Across the clearing, Chucks inhaled. His red eyes were still lakes before a storm. He charged.
A palm flashed. Sadori's jaw cracked. He rocketed backward, skull ringing. _He's too fast!_Chucks reappeared, super-kicks thundering. Sadori's ribs met the blow—an explosion took place. vast of smokes cleared down. He curled into a bone-marrow-protected huddle. If not for Sanji's legacy, he'd be pulp.
Kojou smiled. Chun-yin leaned forward.
"I see the rumors are true. You inherit the Bone marrow. I'm Impressed," Chucks said, grinning. He'd wanted this.
"Let's get to business."
Fists clashed. Karate met kung-fu. The field shook. Sadori stumbled, gut punched, coughing blood, one knee down.
"I was expecting so much more," Chucks said, towering. Sadori wiped crimson from his lips, teammates' faces burning in his mind—especially Kira's glare: _lose, and die._ He struggled up, wind swirling.
"Maybe you're right. Everyone expects something. I don't know what… but I'll give it to them."
A growl. The pooled blood on the ground bloated, screaming into a vacuum around his fist.
"Blood manipulation!" Chun-yin gasped. First time seen.
Electric blue arcs leapt from Chucks' palms, shattering the sphere. Trees snapped. The fight detonated.
Cosmo energy coated Sadori—his skin glowed reds. The sphere roared. Chucks condensed air, dimming.. it's Both fighters charge towards each other in a fashion manner.
Sadori's fist connected with chucks side, the blood hax swiring around his fist connected on chucks chest's core bursting through flesh‑like armor, sending chucks crashing into a fallen log that splintered under the impact. Both boys lay panting, the arena's roar swelling back into a deafening waves of cheers. Tonori despite the bruises, he laughed a deep respectful chuckle.
You've grown" he said standing up dusting himself, eyes shining with admiration at the younger teen. Sadori grinned, sweat dripping into his eyes" We both still got a long way to go!" The forest echoed their promise as the crowds roared on, each clash a testament to the unbreakable spirit of the next generation.
