But Arata is fast and lets out a sudden right hook.
Ryojin: "That's bad!"
Panicking, he lunges forward, catching Arata in a tackle — slamming him down and taking the mount.
Ryojin rains down a flurry of punches, but Arata doesn't waste a second — he grabs Ryojin's head.
Ryojin: "Let go, you dumbass!"
Arata releases his grip — just long enough for Ryojin to lift his head.
Arata (coldly): "That's why you'll lose."
A lethal elbow crashes into Ryojin's nose.
THWACK!
Blood sprays violently. Ryojin's vision blurs, his eyes tearing up.
Ryojin (panicked): "I… can't see… that's bad… real bad…"
He scrambles up, but Arata steps in and drives a knee deep into his gut.
THUD!
Blood bursts from Ryojin's mouth.
Ryojin: "I've… never been humiliated like this before… I'll kill you!"
He swings a desperate cross, pure instinct.
Arata slips with frightening speed —
and fires a right hook into the jaw, then a left uppercut.
THUD!! THUD!!
Ryojin's body crashes to the ground — motionless.
Arata (coldly): "I was expecting more from you."
He turns and walks away as Ryojin lies knocked out, blood dripping onto the ground.
