Crossover Anime: Starting with Destroying Kengan

So, according to this calculation...

Yato felt he had probably made a profit.

I got a 'Fully Formed (LV10)' skill directly, and that alone is worth it!

Not only does it save the effort of research, but it also saves a lot of crystals.

For a long time to come, there will be no need to worry about advancing this skill.

"As for this wristband... I can only do what Kuranosuke Shiraishi did and use a medical bandage to cover it up, otherwise it'll be too conspicuous..."

With that in mind, Yato went to the infirmary first and asked Shizuka Marikawa for a roll of bandages.

The latter thought he was injured somewhere and insisted on getting him checked out. He barely managed to appease her.

He chose a secluded spot, took out the gleaming gold wristband, fastened it to his left forearm, and then wrapped it tightly with bandages, leaving no gaps.

Yato can only say that as expected of a product made by the system, the comfort level is undeniable. The wristband itself has a large coverage area but is very thin. Wearing it feels like having an extra layer of skin, without feeling stuffy or tight. It's just that my left arm has become much heavier.

Unlike the cumbersome feeling associated with carrying heavy loads, it is closer to the weight change caused by physical changes.

"So, after wearing it for a long time, not only will your muscle strength increase, but your bones will also become stronger and more resilient, just like gradually forging your entire arm from the inside out?"

Yato carefully sensed the changes in his left arm and thought to himself.

If he's right, the 'fist that crushes everything' might actually be a reality.

only……

"My overall physical condition also needs to keep up, otherwise it would be ridiculous if I could throw a punch with my whole body force but then damage my shoulder and bones because I couldn't withstand the burst of power."

Yato clenched his fist, deciding to prioritize training [Iron Body] as his top priority.

The iron block is not as simple as it seems.

Although it appears to be a simple technique to harden muscles and reduce damage, it is actually a technique to transform the body, giving it comprehensive strengthening and making it as tough as steel.

Otherwise, its defensive capabilities would not be demonstrated in actual combat.

There's no such thing as a skinny person being able to withstand a punch using iron-weight techniques. Whether or not someone can withstand a punch depends on their physique, or in other words, their foundation.

Ultimately, technology is a derivative of the basics.

Take the "Storm Kick" for example. After Yato learned the "Storm Kick", he could master any kicking technique instantly. Even a simple kick could break a person to pieces.

That's why Yato dared to boast to Izumi that "the Storm Kick is the ultimate kicking technique."

Because the Six Styles are six different types and directions of training techniques.

(Two more chapters today! I'm going to start writing now!)

Chapter 76

Three days later, in the basement of the old school building.

"Will this be our training ground from now on?"

Narushima Hikaru looked at the spacious and bright venue in front of him with amazement.

It's about the size of two standard basketball courts.

Large lights hang from the ceiling, making it as bright as day even at night.

In the very center of the room was a square arena.

Outside the arena, various brand-new, gleaming fitness equipment are displayed in the open space, like exhibits, full of the beauty of modern craftsmanship.

Dumbbells of different sizes and sandbags of different weights were piled up in the corner.

The floor is made of rubber flooring, which is common in gyms and can effectively prevent wear and tear on equipment. People who fall on the floor will not suffer serious injuries.

In addition, there are changing rooms, storage warehouses, and shower rooms.

The entire training ground was converted and expanded from the original basement of the old school building, thanks to Principal Adolf's 'friendly sponsorship'.

Yato didn't spend a single penny from beginning to end.

Although he felt that many things were still missing, he had done a very good job in just a few days.

"Change your clothes and get on the ring."

Amane and Yukino haven't arrived yet, so we're just killing time.

Yato decided to first gain a deeper understanding of Hikari Narushima's specific situation before considering formulating the next training plan.

"Yes!"

Hikari Narushima was overjoyed.

He had been waiting for several days and was almost unable to hold back any longer.

……

In the arena.

Hikari Narushima was wearing a sweat-wicking sports suit that looked like a diving suit. Although she was physically weak, her physique was undoubtedly excellent compared to the average person.

His muscles are well-distributed, and his hand-foot ratio and bone structure are all above average; he is clearly a natural athlete.

　17 Unlike him, Yato wore mixed martial arts training shorts, revealing his taut and beautifully sculpted muscles, like those of a Greek sculpture.

"President, what happened to your hand?"

Noticing that Yato's wrist was wrapped in thick bandages, Narushima asked in surprise.

Because Yato notified him by phone that he needed to prepare the training ground, he hadn't come to the clubroom for the past two days. Yato had also changed into a newly customized long-sleeved school uniform to cover up his left arm brace, so he only noticed the anomaly now.

"It's a very common weight training exercise; you can try it if you're interested."

Yato smiled and flicked his wrist with his finger.

Even through the bandages, it produced a rich, textured sound.

It's definitely not something that can be achieved by hitting the skin.

"I see. When I get back, I'll get some weights to wear on my hands and feet!"

Upon hearing this, Narushima Koga immediately made a decision.

"Pay attention to the weight. Being too heavy is bad for your body. It's not just a matter of load, but it can also lead to failure in shaping. For fighters, bigger muscles are not better, but more powerful muscles are better."

Yato said slowly and deliberately.

"The key to achieving this lies in shaping, which simply means transforming yourself into the shape of a fighter. You've probably seen wrestling or sumo matches, right? The physiques of those people are significantly different from those of fighters in other combat sports. This is a result of the characteristics of combat techniques."

"Therefore, to master a fighting technique, the first thing you need to do is not only strengthen your physical fitness, but more accurately, shape your physique."

"What exactly should be done?"

"It's simple, just hit them."

Yato calmly gave an answer that left Narushima Hikaru speechless.

"This……"

"What? Can't understand? Actually, you'll understand if you think about it the other way around. The purpose of body shaping is to transform yourself into the shape of a fighter. But as long as you choose a fighting style and practice it consistently, you will naturally be transformed into the 'most suitable' body shape."

Yato raised an eyebrow.

“Your current problem is that you haven’t truly mastered even one basic fighting technique. In other words, you’re not much better than a layman… So I plan to teach you the fighting technique I’m best at, or you can choose one you like to practice. But I can’t offer you much help with fighting techniques that I don’t understand, and you need to understand that.”

“No need, President.” Narushima Koga said with a serious expression, “If I were looking for someone else to learn martial arts, I wouldn’t have asked you to be my apprentice in the first place.”

"Although it's a bit redundant, President... please, please teach me your fighting techniques!"

"In that case, there's no need to waste any more words."

Looking at Narushima Koga, who was bowing deeply to him, Yato chuckled, narrowed his eyes, and beckoned to him with his finger.

"Come on, it's better for you to experience some things firsthand than to talk about them. This will make the teaching easier later on."

"Yes."

Hikaru Narushima took a deep breath and struck a pose with great seriousness.

His hands and feet looked as if they were a combination of the starting stances of two different martial arts styles.

Hands are one type, feet are another.

Yato ignored Narushima Hikari's hands, only glancing at his feet.

The core of katakana lies in the feet, or rather, the stance. In order to defeat the opponent more quickly, there are many different stances. People who are not familiar with katakana find it difficult to judge what move the opponent will use next based on the stance, which is one of the tricky aspects of katakana.

Narushima Koga's stance clearly shows the influence of karate, but his actual fighting style is definitely not karate, which can be seen from his hands.

That's a variation of the standard starting stance in mixed martial arts. Why is it a variation? Because he probably made a small modification to avoid being easily figured out.

'Very poor skill level, but the combat feel is good.'

Yato thought to himself silently.

Many martial arts practitioners take a long time to adjust their mindset in actual combat before they start to make good use of what they have learned, instead of just following the routines and letting others see through their next move without even having to fight them.

Suddenly, Narushima Koga attacked, throwing an arcing punch at Yato's temple.

Yato dodged with a quick head movement.

Narushima Koga didn't care about this at all.

He used various basic moves quite well, including straight punches, hooks, and low kicks. His high-speed jabs even produced a slight whooshing sound.

"Emotions and fighting spirit can stimulate physical fitness and enhance combat effectiveness, but if not controlled properly, they can easily lead to judgment being clouded by adrenaline and making mistakes that should not be made."

As Yato spoke, he steadily blocked all of his attacks with his right hand.

No sooner had he finished speaking than his left fist suddenly shot out, striking Narushima Hikaru in the lower abdomen.

The latter grunted and began to retreat.

A gust of fierce wind from a punch came straight at me, making my cheeks sting slightly.

"..."

Narushima Koga stared blankly at the fist that had stopped in front of him, swallowing hard. He had no doubt that this punch would knock him out, the kind that would keep him unconscious for an hour.

"I only used the same speed and force as you, and my technique is nothing special, but your attacks can't hit me, while my attacks can hit you. Putting aside factors like the difference in experience, do you know what the biggest difference between us is?"

Yato withdrew his fist and said calmly.

"Is it the rhythm of the attack?"

Narushima Koga's brows furrowed, and his breathing became erratic.

"You lack the means to quickly take down others, which is why your attack rhythm is monotonous. However, this is not the key point. The rhythm can be changed, but the pattern cannot."

Yato nodded slightly at first, then shook his head.

"The biggest difference between us lies in our fighting style, which is the key to determining whether a fighter's skills and combat prowess are mature."

"As the old saying goes, 'Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.' I am not your master, but just a giver who is acting on a whim."

“I don’t plan to have you start practicing the basics step by step. Those things can be practiced anytime. But there are some things that you must understand from the beginning. Only in this way can you understand how to become stronger.”

Continue. Yato beckoned with his finger, his face showing no emotion.

"I see!"

Narushima Kou gritted his teeth and charged toward Yato with the resolve to die.

One round.

He was knocked down.

This cycle repeated itself countless times.

I'm almost numb to Narushima Hikaru.

He finally realized just how fragile his life was when facing such a powerful opponent.

Like grass or insignificant weeds!

Yato was using him in almost every possible way to hone his killing efficiency.

Yukino and Amane also arrived during this time.
