Martial Arts System-Chapter 10: Iron Style

(Little girl's POV)

I need to hurry…

Handsome big brother is in danger…

Police station… it should be close by…

He saved me…

I can't let him down!

I was so scared…

but he saved me…

Now I need to save him!

That one-armed monster looked strong…

I hope handsome big brother is okay…

My parents must be worried…

I was supposed to be already at home…

but I have to get to the police station for help!

I kept running for another 3 minutes and my lungs felt like they were on fire, but I can't stop, I am already close!

''Leia?!'' Then I heard a loud voice, I heard my name.

I looked behind me.

''Big brother!'' I saw my big brother and I rushed towards him for a hug.

''Leia where have you been! We were worried!'' my big brother said anxiously.

''Big brother! Handsome big brother needs help! Hurry!'' I said to him in hurry and his face turned solemn

''Who? What happened!'' He asked anxiously and I told everything that happened and his face turned angrier and angrier until his face showed some relief seeing me safe

''Go quickly towards the police station and tell them everything, I will go there for help.'' my big brother said and started running to the destination where the alley should be located.

I rushed towards the police station again and since my big brother is going there, I don't need to worry.

My big brother is strong after all!

…

In the alley.

Irkum rushed towards Ichiro with his machete and swung it towards the head of Ichiro.

But Ichiro easily dodged it and counterattacked with a low kick.

''Stop running!'' Irkum yelled angrily after getting hit by a kick, his leg started to scream in pain.

Irkum once again rushed towards Ichiro, but this time he took an actual slashing stance way different from previous ones.

[Machete Crux!]

Irkum swung the machete sharper than ever!

''…'' Ichiro only looked calmly and dodged incoming machete strikes.

Irkum put the machete on a quickdraw stance.

[Machete Velocity!]

*Swish!*

Irkum then swung his machete with an incredible speed!

''!'' Ichiro could only widen his eyes seeing the machete's speed.

*Splat*

''Urgh.'' Machete successfully hit Ichiro's right arm, making it bleed furiously and Ichiro quickly took steps backward.

Ichiro quickly ripped part of his school uniform to put the bind on the wound.

''Kahahahaha!'' Irkum kept only laughing, his face distorting in different shapes.

''Tsk.'' Ichiro then rushed towards Irkum, while ignoring the wound on his right arm.

Irkum once again went to quickdraw stance.

''Prepare to die!'' Irkum roared while his mouth curved as a huge smile

[Machete Velocity!]

Irkum then swung his machete towards incoming Ichiro.

'It will hit my left side, 5cm below my neck…' Ichiro thought to himself after managing to analyze the incoming attacks.

[Ironic Edge!]

Ichiro put his left arm towards the incoming machete and his palm successfully hit the blade area of the machete and deflected it perfectly.

Machete barely missed the body of Ichiro.

'Perfect…' Ichiro thought to himself with a smile, it was his first perfect Ironic Edge since reincarnation.

''GRRRRRR.'' Irkum gritted his teeth in anger and then saw Ichiro's incoming fist hitting him successfully in the jaw.

Irkum went sliding backward a few meters with blood flowing from his lips.

*Spit*

Irkum spit remaining blood from his mouth towards the ground and looked at Ichiro with pure anger.

He has never been as angry as now!

Not even when he lost his arm against his nemesis.

''I am gonna kill you and after I am done killing you, I will find that bitch who escaped and I will cut all her limbs - Then I will find your family and then torture them until they beg me to kill them!'' Irkum's eyes turned red and his already vicious face kept distorting, even more, he barely looked like human anymore.

''!'' Ichiro thought he couldn't be even angrier was now mistaken.

Ichiro has never been as angry as now!

'If I had my Iron Style's assassination techniques, then I would make him feel true despair!' Ichiro thought to himself while gritting his teeth.

'System, what happens if I use one of my iron styles in my current condition?'

[If it was before body improvement pills, you would have probably crippled yourself, but now most of your bones would break and I am not sure will you make full recovery before the tournament]

'Alright…' Ichiro thought to himself and then made his mind.

He will make this one-armed fucker feel true despair.

''Dieeeeeeeee!'' Irkum roared and put his machete forward and started slashing once again!

[Machete Crux!]

Machete strikes were sharper than ever and if it would hit Ichiro's arm then it would get cut instantly!

but Ichiro currently wore a mocking smirk on his face.

[Iron Style: Iron Rapidity!]

Before the machete managed to hit Ichiro…

Ichiro suddenly disappeared!

Iron Rapidity: It allows the person to perfectly disappear from a person's point of view making it look like that person teleported!

Iron Rapidity works when a person misdirects his opponent's view.

Since Irkum's point of view was focused on his machete strikes, it was even easier for Ichiro to use Rapidity.

But to use Rapidity, you need to have great leg strength, to quickly make a fast burst disappear from his current position, which Ichiro currently doesn't have…

''Where?!'' Irkum finally saw that Ichiro disappeared and was looking in front of him with confusion.

''Behind you…'' Irkum heard a whisper behind him and he quickly turned to look behind him but saw nothing there…

But then…

''I let you feel despair.'' Irkum felt a presence behind him and he felt cold sweat pouring in his back.

Ichiro was currently behind Irkum in body-to-body contact and then he put his fingers on one-armed man's right shoulder.

[Iron Style: Iron Fingers!]

*Crack*

''AAAAAAAAARFGH!'' Irkum screamed in agony after Ichiro crushed his shoulder.

Iron Fingers: It allows the person to have inhuman finger powers, but to use that you need to use at least have a decade to improve your fingers' flesh and bones so you don't break the bones from your fingers when you use it.

Irkum fell to the ground while screaming in agony and in fear.

But Ichiro didn't look good either…

Both legs had few fractures and his toes were all broken and his right arm fingers were also all broken.

but Ichiro still kept standing while looking at the screaming man with anger.

'System, what is my HP?'

[7/50 HP]

''Well damn…'' I thought aloud.

''Uhgghghhs.'' Irkum kept rolling in the ground in pain while already having foam coming from his mouth and he was just moments away from passing out.

''Are you scared?'' Ichiro said while looking at him with a cold gaze.

''Remember this feeling, this is what you caused to the people you murdered!''

Irkum looked at the Ichiro who looked like a grim reaper in fear, which he hadn't felt in a long time.

Usually, he is the one who causes fear.

But this time he feels terror…

''P-p-please… mercy…'' Irkum muttered while his eyesight turned blur.

Irkum struggled for few more seconds before finally passing out on the hard ground.

*Sigh*

Ichiro sighed and sat down on the ground looking at the knocked out man in front of him

*Ding*

''Hmm, very interesting.'' I thought to myself aloud while feeling like my broken bones were healed almost completely.

''Is this maybe a bug?'' I thought to myself while laughing silently.

''Ichiro?!'' Suddenly I heard a voice and I went on alert while looking at the entry of the alley.

There I saw a tall man with a height of 195cm with a buzz cut, blue eyes, and muscles that were not ordinary for a middle schooler, and with his height added, he looked like a college student.

He was coming towards Ichiro with worry on his face.

''Lucas?'' I said aloud while wondering what he was doing here

''Why are you here?''

''I see it was you…

I guess I need to thank you for saving my sister.'' Lucas said while smiling and then took a look towards an unconscious man with anger.

''Sister… wait she was your sister?!'' I said aloud, how can someone so petite and cute looking girl be his sister

''Yeah haha,'' Lucas said while scratching his head awkwardly

''I met her and she told me what happened here, so I rushed here, but I guess you didn't need help.''

''Hah, I almost died you know.''

''You alright?'' Lucas said with worry

''Yeah,'' I said and Lucas put his hand forward and I grabbed it and Lucas pulled me up.

''So this piece of sh*t was trying to kill my precious little sister,'' Lucas said while looking at the one-armed man who was passed out on the ground

''Yeah, a piece of sh*t like him shouldn't be allowed to live, but I guess since you are here, police is coming so I can't kill him,'' I said with anger while looking at the unconscious man in the ground.

''If I could I would kill him in instant, but police will be coming shortly,'' Lucas said while looking at the one armed man with bloodlust.

Then after 5 min waiting, police finally arrived and took the One-armed Irkum with them to the police station and I was questioned about what happened here.

It seemed that little girl is still in the police station being questioned about what happened here and I need to go there as well.

''Lucas you coming?'' I asked Lucas who was standing next to me

''Yeah, police must have called mine and Leia's parents already and they might be already there,'' Lucas said and we started walking towards the nearby police car.
