HNGH... HNGH.
THMP! THMP! THMP!
"PLEASE... PLEASE, DO NOT HIT ME... PLEASE!"
HAAH-HNGH…
"Ying! Ying!" Ying's mother shouted, seeing him beaten down on the ground.
Fss...
As Ying's mother tried to touch him,
"PLEASE... PLEASE... NO, DON'T HIT ME," Ying cried in pain without opening his eyes.
[In the Principal's office]
"It is the third time I found my son beaten like this. If you can't do anything, just tell me. I will handle it myself," Ying's mother shouted inside the principal's cabin.
"If you have so much problem, change the school," the principal shouted in irritation.
"In all this, you don't know how much I did for you and that boy, ma'am," the principal said, lighting a cigarette.
"Just be grateful, as poor and students coming from less big backgrounds study in this school; otherwise..." the principal shouted.
"What do you mean by otherwise? They bullied my child; my child didn't bully anyone," Ying's mother argued.
"Heh! Definitely, you wanna see, or leave, just would be able to hear what happened to the so-called bullies... what your child did to them," the principal said, disgust visible in his eyes.
"What can be worse than my Ying's knuckles literally broken? See the tooth marks embedded in his forearm. Do you think this is a joke?" Ying's mother said, as Ying heard from outside the cabin.
"Enough..." the principal tapped on the table.
"If you feel like this is the worst, think what would have gone through the mother who saw her son in the pool of... arterial blood, which was still spreading," the principal said, his face dark.
"What are you saying?" Ying's mother stood up.
"Sit down... I am not over yet. The second child's mother saw her son's head rearranged, brain tissue visible through a shattered skull. What would have gone through her? What do you have to say now?" the principal said with disgust.
"My Ying did all this?" Ying's mother asked, tears starting to fall from her eyes.
"Yes, but he also said this was only the first sentence," the principal said.
"What do you have to say now?" the principal asked.
As Ying outside stood up and went in front of a vending machine, seeing his reflection.
His face was completely emotionless, very dull, as if he were very dissatisfied.
But the more he saw, he was feeling something he hadn't felt from birth.
Excitement; he was suddenly feeling very excited, like he got something he always wanted.
His lips suddenly started moving upwards; his innocent smile turned into a smile of a person who is pure evil.
And as he raised his eyes, he wasn't in front of the vending machine; he wasn't in the school either.
He wasn't a child now, either.
But he was happy, very happy, seeing Jin in front of him.
"Now, this is what people say pure evil is," Lucian said, seeing Ying.
"Yeah! You are right, brother," Jin said, smiling again.
"Let me finish this," Lucian said, moving forward.
SWK!
Jin put a hand in front of Lucian.
"No, you won't. I agreed for you to come on the battlefield to watch me fight, not to fight, 'Lucian'," Jin giggled.
"Hey! Dare you tease me with that name? I ain't that weakling," Lucian said, shaking his head.
"Then who are you?" Ying asked, his tongue still out.
"KUROHA TOMA," Toma said, straightening his posture.
"Third contender, wonderful," Ying said, his adrenaline rushing through his veins.
CRACK! CRACK! CRACK!
Ying cracked all of his fingers.
"It is going to be fun fighting...
Oh! Sorry, tearing you two apart," Ying said with an intimidating smirk.
"Jin, step aside. He is way stronger than you are with a limiter," Toma said.
"Hey! I know why you want to fight him. First, to take a share in my money. Second..."
Before Jin could complete,
ORA-THOOOM!
Ying punched both of them, but they vanished; his punch hit the ground.
"Second is that your ability of taking credit is taking over, just like Lucian," Jin said with a funny expression.
Ying's expression became like an animal whose prey was playing with him because...
...both Jin and Toma were on one hand, doing a handstand on each of Ying's shoulders.
"No, you are wrong on the second one, and stop taking that name," Toma said with irritation.
KSHRAAAAM!
Ying swung his butcher knife above his head to cut both of them, but he could only create a shockwave, not land the attack on them.
But...
As the attack went over his head, Ying tossed the butcher knife in the air.
KRRK-!
Ying, with an inhuman flexibility, turned 180 degrees. His fist raised and aimed directly at Toma.
SWK! SWK! SWK!
Ying's punches were strong enough to create a shockwave and fast enough to send the shockwave 50 meters away, but not enough to land on Kuroha Toma.
"You are really pissing me off!!" Ying shouted in anger.
SHWIK-SHWIK-SHWIK-SHWIK!
Ying's punches became stronger and faster, yet were dodged by Toma.
"Why? I thought you wanted to fight," Toma teased Ying.
"I want to fight, but you aren't attacking." Ying distracted Toma for a millisecond.
ORA-THOOM!!
With a sudden opening visible, Ying attacked Toma's gut with the force of an elephant strike.
THRAKKKK!!!
Toma caught Ying's fist before it even came near his gut.
"Right..." Toma raised his head, his eyes glowing like a four-pointed star.
"I should start attacking," Toma said.
Suddenly, Ying raised his free arm in the air.
-KCHK
The butcher knife he tossed before came effortlessly to his palm.
SHWRAK!
Ying, without a wasted moment, orchestrated the knife directly to cut Toma's shoulder.
VMMMM....
As Toma was a split second away from ending Ying's career,
KSHRRR-SHRAK!
Ying's arm stopped itself as a fine circular cut on his forearm appeared, and Toma vanished.
"What are you doing, Jin?" Toma said with a smirk.
"Saving my 3000 € (Euros)," Jin said.
"Really? Now is there money between us?" Toma became sad.
"Have you forgotten in the academy we fought like brothers and came to the top?" Toma said, putting a hand on Jin's shoulder.
"..." Jin suddenly stopped everything.
"Bro, why are you making me emotional?" Jin raised his arm to hide his eyes.
"Ok, so, for the sake of our brotherhood, we will fight together and divide the money equally..." Jin shed some crocodile tears.
PAK!
They both did a dap in the moment of happiness.
VRAK-WHAM!
Jin, without losing his grip, flipped Toma and threw him on the ground while moving forward and stretching his collar button forward.
"We will divide money equally in your dreams," Jin said, moving towards Ying.
"Damn you." A realization hit Toma as he tried standing.
"You! You will die for this," Toma said as Jin put his limiter on Toma's neck.
"You were cheating by not having a limiter, so I put one on you," Jin said, smiling.
"Now you are the one cheating," Toma said.
"No, I am not..." As Jin was saying,
VRAAAAAK!
As Jin was moving forward while his head was back, Ying used this as an advantage to cut his neck.
SHWRAK-DHAK!
But...
Jin just sat down, dodging the attack, and then landed a devastating kick directly to Ying's chin.
The attack forced his own new sharp teeth to go inside his upper jaw while breaking his lower jaw.
"Now, uncle, I am ready. What should we do in the next chapter of cruelty?" Jin asked as he grabbed Ying's lower jaw.
CRR-ACK... schlorp - thwup.
To show how a prey feels encountering a predator, Jin used an ounce of his strength to forcefully tear the lower jaw from his skull.
"Now listen, uncle, I will show you why I got the title The Absolute Weapon," Jin said to the recovered Ying.
[Toma's Thoughts]
Even when I hadn't met him, I thought the same thing: that he got his title 'cause he could make anything in the environment his weapon by his genius, but...
"I will give each of your upper body organs one hit. Is it ok and justified, uncle?" Jin asked Ying.
THWUMP-CRK!
Before Ying's body could react, a punch that could cause a local sonic boom hit Ying's ribs, destroying his lungs.
FWUD-SPLCH...
His next attack, with the same density, was directly on both the livers of Ying.
THAK-POP....
His attack density increased; the attack went to the spleen, which made Ying nearly unconscious.
FWUMP-SNAP... collapse - squelch.
Jin, without attacking his heart, broke both of Ying's hips, bringing him to his knees.
"Oh! Uncle, what happened? Stand up, aren't you gonna hunt me now?" Jin's reaction changed, as if he weren't enjoying this, but it was a necessity for him.
[Toma's Thoughts continue]
But I was terribly wrong. He didn't get the title because of his genius; he got it because his body—'cause his body and his mind are the absolute weapon, not any materialistic weapon in his hand.
THUD-CRUNCH!!!
With this last kick on Ying's heart, he not only launched him into the wall but also started his timer of leaving the earth.
The same Ying whose bare-fist punches were destroying the walls—his whole body couldn't even give a smudge to the wall.
TZZT!!
A sudden electric shock was felt on the back of Jin's neck as Toma put the limiter back on his neck.
"You made his condition so bad that people can't even describe it," Toma said plainly.
"Oh! Yeah, it is too violent for an ultra-violent person, and a normal person would just vomit at a sight of this," Jin said, crossing his hands back.
"Anyways, his boss will directly come finding; we will have less work to do," Toma said.
"Yeah, by the way, how did you know how I removed the limiter?" Toma said, his voice fading.
"I will tell you later; now hop on the cycle," Jin said, sitting on the cycle.
"Wait! This is my...
JIN!!!!" Toma shouted as they moved away from the building.
Ying finally closed his eyes as he thought he found peace.
VRAAAM-KRA-THOOOM!!
Suddenly, something fell out of the sky directly into a stack of dirt, spreading the dust particles in the air.
ATK!!
Ying, with his remaining strength, opened his eyes only to see dust.
"Tsk... Tsk... Tsk." A voice behind the dust came.
"I feel real sad, sir. If my calculations are correct, if I was just a few minutes before, I would have saved you from this," the boy said, approaching Ying.
"By the way, I am Arashi of the Ushimoto, or simply USHIMOTO ARASHI," Arashi said with a smirk.
"I landed here as my sensei hit me too hard, but if I am here, I will definitely not ignore this situation," Arashi said, crouching to Ying's eye level.
[Ying's Thought]
Who is this boy? Such an overwhelming presence; just by seeing his face, I can tell he doesn't fight for himself, and that is what makes him this extraordinary.
Snap! Snap! Snap!
Arashi snapped his fingers in front of Ying.
"Alive? Ah! I think you are. I feel very sad by seeing you like this, sir," Arashi said with a sad expression.
"..." Ying raised his broken left hand and started making hand signs.
"You want me to kill the person who did this to you, and you are telling me how he looks like, the word loafers, and an extreme weapon genius, right?" Arashi said, understanding the hand signs.
"Hahahahahaha! Weapon genius," Arashi laughed his heart out.
"Oh! Amazing joke, but sir, I don't do the work for free." Arashi stopped as Ying started making the hand sign again.
"You will give me a left eye!? Well, I think that's a fair trade." Arashi's lips rose upwards as he read the handsign of Ying telling he will give him a left eye.
"For killing this random boy named Kurogane Jin," Arashi said with his devilish smirk.
[Flashback]
RIING! RIING!
Before jumping in the fight, Jin got a call.
"I am doing some work, just tell me everything in one sentence and cut the call," Jin said in a very respectful tone.
"Leave the place wherever you are... Ushimoto Arashi is coming there for some reason, and Jin, it's an order: don't engage in fight with him." A very old voice came behind the phone.
