Martial Arts System

Chapter 76: Predator.

3 Hours Later~

Ichiro was still sleeping peacefully on his bed, not knowing that his peaceful rest was about to be interrupted.

Footsteps echoed outside of the room… They stopped in front of his room.

*Bam*

The door to Ichiro's room was opened with a slam.

From there, a beautiful woman with long black hair walked in, ''Ichiro, wake up, it's din…'' She trailed off in the end after she got a good look at the room.

Her eyes widened - the room was a complete mess. A massive dent was on the wall, the wooden desk was sliced in half, and a shattered lamp was lying on the floor.

She pointed at the room with a shaky finger; she saw Ichiro sleeping peacefully with a carefree smile.

Her face turned murderous, she stomped towards sleeping Ichiro.

She grabbed Ichiro's ear, but he still didn't wake up.

''WAKE UP!'' Azumi roared with a furious expression. The window of Ichiro's started making slight cracking noises. Ichiro stood up in a hurry; he turned around him, with a killing intent filling his eyes.

He thought that another Assassin appeared, but something far worse did.

He saw a beautiful middle-aged woman glaring at him. Slight sweatdrops appeared on his forehead; he turned his head shakily and saw his room being a complete mess.

''…'' Ichiro, with a deadpan expression, looked at his mother.

*Gulp*

He gulped heavily; his throat was parched, his lips were dry. Absolute fear was filling his insides.

''I-C-H-I-R-O.'' Azumi spelled his name with a menacing look on her beautiful face.

''M-Mother!'' Ichiro slightly stuttered but managed to utter his words.

Azumi crossed her arms; her face didn't change; instead, her face screamed the words 'Explain!'

Ichiro, with this superhuman speed, kowtowed deeply, his forehead touching the floor.

He inhaled air to his lungs and shouted, ''IT WAS AYAKO!''

''Me?'' Ayako's cute tiny head peeked from the door; she looked around the room, ''I did this?''

''HOW DARE YOU ACCUSE MY CUTE DAUGHTER?!'' Azumi roared and kicked at Ichiro's head, which sent him flying to a nearby wall.

''OOF!'' Air left Ichiro's lungs, and he fell down on the floor like a dead fish.

[-100 HP]

''HOW?!'' Ichiro shouted with a shock, he quickly checked his Interface, but it showed [115/115 HP]

Ichiro gritted his teeth, 'System…'

[…]

The System decided to stay quiet. It was the first time the System made a slight joke, and he/she kind of enjoyed it.

While the System was enjoying Ichiro's doom. Ichiro was about to do something far worse for System… but first, he needed to deal with this Demon Queen in front of him.

Ichiro stood up with shaky legs; he didn't get any physical damage; it was all mental damage.

Mostly because his pride got damaged.

'Lucas shall never find out…' Ichiro swore in his mind.

Azumi stomped towards Ichiro and grabbed his ear, ''WHAT DID YOU DO HERE? THE WHOLE ROOM IS A MESS!''

Ichiro gulped, ''Boys stuff?''

Azumi grabbed his cheeks, ''F-I-X.''

Ichiro nodded over a hundred times in a second.

Azumi finally let him go; she stomped out of his room while huffing and puffing angrily.

Ichiro wiped his sweat out of his forehead; he turned his head and saw Ayako peeking, only her cute tiny head showing.

Ichiro scratched the back of his head; today, he probably lost his little sister's admiration. He threw her under the bus without any hesitation.

''A-Ayako, I can explain,'' Ichiro said with a sad expression.

''Hmm…'' Ayako hummed and started running downstairs.

''Ayako!!!'' Ichiro dramatically fell down on the floor, imaginary tears started dropping out the corner of his eyes.

But that only lasted for a moment; Ichiro stood up like the last 5 minutes didn't happen, ''I will buy her ice cream, she will forgive me.'' Ichiro nodded while another brilliant plan started forming on his head.

He took his phone from his pocket and sat down on the bed.

He instantly went into WorldlyTalk, he saw a few messages immediately popping.

{LucasLEADER: YOU WENT INTO IRIO'S SECONDARY MIDDLE SCHOOL AND CRIPPLED THEIR STRONGEST STUDENT?!?!?! ARE YOU NUTS!}

{LucasLEADER: THE PRINCIPAL ISN'T HAPPY!! HE WILL FIND OUT WHAT HAPPENED!! WHY DID YOU DO THAT?!}

''Ouch,'' Ichiro smirked slightly; he isn't the one who gets in trouble; everyone in the Irio's Secondary Middle School will.

There is no way that they can keep his bullying incident wrapped.

{Slych

Ichiro grimaced, seeing Slych's new nickname, ''It is worse, I didn't think it could get worse.''

{KingOfGames: It was alright until I saw your nickname.}

Ichiro shrugged; he didn't need to worry others and talk about the Assassin incident.

He has encountered hundreds of Assassins in his previous life, the current situation is direr than ever before, but he is confident that he can handle it by himself. Still, to do that, he needs to reach Martial Captain, and he is optimistic that he can do that in less than a month.

He didn't think that he was actually in danger of dying today - he was always planning to use the Killing Blow. Still, the unexpected Quest made him distracted, which made his situation even direr, but almost dying hundreds, thousands of times is making him numb to dying.

He still felt that it was ridiculous to die because a truck crashed into him. He survived when he was surrounded by hundred mercenaries, all of them armed with guns and their barrels pointing towards him. He survived that with a few scratches, but then he died because of saving a little girl.

He still hopes that the little girl doesn't get traumatized seeing him die. That would suck.

Even though he is numb to dying, he still feels fearful of something happening to his family. He needs to deal with this situation as soon as possible.

In his previous life, the power difference was never as big as now. Some people can destroy countries with a single attack - in his previous life, he needed to be careful of guns, but now he needs to do everything so thoroughly, one day he might encounter a Martial Saint who will make his body explode in trillion pieces.

''Times are changing…'' Ichiro muttered. ''I am so weak.''

In his previous life, he was the one who brought despair to others. His opponents knew that they couldn't defeat him, they still wanted to try, but the experience caused many of them to quit Martial Arts.

If you are asking. 'Does Ichiro feel bad about it?'

He actually doesn't.

If you can't handle someone is stronger than you, then you shouldn't even be Martial Arts Practiticioner.

But that was because Ichiro didn't know how they felt.

Now he does.

He watched a lot of videos of Martial Kings and Martial Emperors fighting before the tournament. It was like gods were dueling.

Ichiro was certain that his techniques were better than them, but a single attack from Power Trait would make his techniques useless.

He bit his lip and stood up. He cracked his knuckles and looked at the wall in front of him.

He lowered his stance slightly, he put his two hands in front of him, but his hands were like two claws from ancient beast.

Ichiro took a quick step forwards and did a cross slash with his two claw-like hands.

[Iron Predator!]

The wall instantly had a two long claw marks, if that attack hit a person… It would be hard to defend yourself, and it would be even harder to survive such attack.

''ARGHH!'' Ichiro cried out, his face grimaced; he fell down on the floor on his knees, his two arms were stinging with pain.

But a predatory smile was painted on Ichiro's face, he looked at his hands and noticed one thing…

They weren't broken!

''I see…'' Ichiro said, he ignored the stinging pain on his arms and clenched his fists tightly, ''Once I reach Martial Captain… I can use my techniques once again.''

He stood up once again, his arms still aching, but his smile didn't disappear from his handsome youthful face.

He walked towards his bed and opened the Interface.
