Chapter 33: Dojo Hunter
"Gonzui Kumatori is the master of the Kokyukai Dojo and will become an associate of Ryozanpaku. He is a Karate (Iron Defense-Style) martial artist he also have several unnamed disciples and is an Expert class martial artist" that's all I know about him thought Kenichi "In short a perfect candidate for his practice"
"Oh! so you are dojo hunters great please follow me" said Miu while she smilingly came towards them and showed the way towards the dojo.
"Hmnp" snorted Kumatori and followed Miu.
Behind him his desciple followed.
"Oh isn't that how Ryozanpaku Dojo earns money,so that's why she is so excited" thought Kenichi.
When Miu brought everyone inside the dojo she offered tea to Kumatori and said "The taste isn't particularly good, but please enjoy"
Kumatori ofcourse rejected the tea by breaking the tea cup offered by Miu and said "Now do you understand? We did not come here to build freindship"
"Understood then please write your Name, Address, and School please" said Miu as she gave a form to Kumatori.
"Here are the elders articles on rules and procedures" said Miu as she gave the rule book to Kumatori.
"What!? Ten thousand yen per dojo hunter!?" said Kumatori's first desciple.
"With an additional Ten Thousand Yen you can fight the dojo" said Miu while smiling.
"You..... you bastard stop it already" said the first desciple of Kumatori
"Wait" said Kumatori stopping his disciple
"Fine then. But if I add more than the usual amount can I make an arrangement to fight with Shio Sakaki the 100-dan?" asked Kumatori as he gave the form back while his disciple payed the money.
By this time Kenichi has also entered the dojo and was standing while his back was supported by the walls of the dojo.
"I have heard that there are many heroes in Ryozanpaku. It would be best to fight someone who practices the same martial arts. Causing the most bloodshed first is important after all...." said Kumatori.
"Oh I am sorry nobody is in right now, so I will be your opponent" said Miu as she pointed at herself. "please this way" she said as to Kumatori.
Everyone was shocked hearing Miu's answer and we're pissed cause of it.
Kenichi new what was going to happen so he moved.
"kuu.. you!!! you are just some young wench! Thi.... this is the first time since I was born that I was underestimated! My patience has worn out you shall pay with your life" said Kumatori as he went to punch Miu who had her back towards Kumatori.
But since she was trained by her grandfather since childhood she was able to sense what was going to happen and turned ready to defend herself. But before that could happen Kenichi came between them and directed Kumatori's punch towards other direction by just slapping his Hand on Kumatori's wrist.
"Punching a girl who has her back facing towards you" said Kenichi to Kumatori then turned towards Miu behind him and flicked his finger on Miu's head.
"Ouw" came the voice from Miu due to being in pain by the flick of Kenichi "Why?" she asked.
"Because even though I was there you thought of fighting him. What do you mean there is no one in the dojo until an unless I am not there only then you can fight with people like these do you understand" said Kenichi.
Miu blushed and nodded her head.
Kenichi smiled then turned his head and looked at Kumatori "Come on Dog Hair I will fight with you" said Kenichi.
"Hoo This kid even he dares to make a fool out of me, Now bring the bats" shouted Kumatori.
"Ah yes" said disciple no. 2
Kumatori just stood there while his desciple hitted him with wooden baseball bats on his hands and knees but all got broken.
"Hmm this is the power of my spirits!!" said Kumatori.
"Ha we Sagawungiryu men make our bodies as strong as steel and absorb hits that is our martial arts" said desciple No. 3
"Haha are you scared kid" said desciple No. 4
"You said you will fight Kumatori-Sensei don't make me laugh" said desciple No. 5
"Ok since it's like this you will not mind if I checked something right" said Kenichi as he took out the Expandable Baton gifted by Shigure and expanded it.
[Expandable Baton is typically composed of a cylindrical outer shaft containing telescoping inner shafts (typically 2 or 3, depending on the design) that lock into each other when expanded. The shafts are usually made of steel, but lightweight baton models may have their shafts made from other materials such as aluminium alloy.]
"Hahaha you want to use a baton to fight with Kumatori-sensei after seeing that even a wooden baseball bat couldn't do anything to him." said disciple No. 6
Kumatori didn't said anything and brought a right kick from above Kenichi's head. For Kenichi who was already used to seeing Apachai's kick this one was like watching slow-motion and was able to dodge the kick easily even though he was wearing his restraints.
"Hoo you were able to dodge a kick of mine but I know you will die if I hit you seriously so why don't you try to hit me to know we're both of us stand" said Kumatori as he went into his stand and steeled his stomach.
"Are you sure about it" asked Kenichi
"Why are you not hitting me? Are you scared now?" said Kumatori.
"Fine as you wish" said Kenichi as he pulled his baton and with half of his current strength he hitted the tip of the baton at his diaphragm.
"Kugh... ughh ahhhh" shouted Kumatori in pain.
"Wh-what happened?" "I don't understand as well" said desciple 1 and 2
"How was he able to hurt sensei" "It can't be, he must have done something" Kumatori's desciple started to find reason among themselves.
"Yo-you bastard what did you do to me?" said Kumatori.
"Oh nothing I just hitted you where your diaphragm is located, The diaphragm is a thin skeletal muscle that sits at the base of the chest and separates the abdomen from the chest. It contracts and flattens when you inhale. This creates a vacuum effect that pulls air into the lungs. When you exhale, the diaphragm relaxes and the air is pushed out of lungs. In short it's one of few weak points a human haves" said Kenichi explaining himself.
"Bastard that's cheating" "yeah how can you do that" "Common atleast fight fairly" Kumatori's desciple started to shout at Kenichi.
"SILENCE!!! IT WAS YOUR MASTER WHO ASKED ME TO HIT SO DON'T CRY NOW AS I HAD ALREADY WARNED YOU THAT I AM GONNA TEST SOMETHING ON HIM" shouted Kenichi while he removed the baton from Kumatori's diaphragm after which he was able to breathe easily.
"Cough cough ok it was my fault to underestimate you but I won't do that again so let's continue" said Kumatori.
"hmm you wanna continue fine let's do it" said Kenichi as he collapsed his baton.
"You aren't going to use your baton" asked Kumatori.
"No, as I am still not proficient to use a weapon just now was something I wanted to test" said Kenichi then he looked at Miu and said "here Miu take care of the baton for me" then throwed the baton towards her.
She catched the baton and said "okay"
Kenichi smiled while looking towards Kumatori and said "Now shall we begin....."
