City of Fall, inside a random Cafe.
Isaac flipped through the pages of the newspaper while sipping a cup of coffee. The cafe he was in was within walking distance away from his new headquarters.
There were several tables occupied, while the other half of the cafe was empty. The streets were busy, while the nearby building was quite loud and crowded.
Isaac curiously looked towards the building on the other side of the street. They held a Martial Arts Tournament, and it attracted many eye pairs.
''More coffee, sir?'' A handsome waiter stopped next to Isaac and asked politely.
''No, thanks.'' Isaac lowered the cup, paid for the coffee, and left the cafe with the newspaper in his left hand.
He continued looking at the bustling building while the pedestrians walked past him.
Isaac rubbed his chin and pondered something for a few minutes. Then, he nodded, stored the newspaper in his inventory, and crossed the road.
He briskly stepped up the short stairs and entered the busy building. A large crowd had gathered, and a large platform was in the middle of the floor.
Two men dressed in black Gi were standing in their fighting stances while a muscular man with white Gi stood in the middle of them. He was whispering something to the two men. Then he stepped back and announced the start of the final match.
''The final match between Ren Lover Vs. Kevin Yu begins!''
The excitement spread across the crowd, and the building turned even noisier.
''Haaah!'' Ren Lover bolted towards his opponent with his fist raised. After taking a long stride, he did an insanely quick right cross.
However, Kevin Yu effortlessly blocked the right cross with his left elbow and countered with a right uppercut!
Ren Lover immediately pulled his head back and felt the force of the wind brushing past his face as the uppercut missed him.
''Hayah!'' Kevin Yu's legs lifted off the floor and immediately did a spinning back kick!
''ARGH!'' Ren Lover crossed his arms. However, the strength of the kick forced his feet to slide backward.
The crowd clapped powerfully, and their hearts raced with excitement.
The man wearing white Gi watched silently. Both the finalists were his disciples, and he didn't care who won, but he didn't want either to get badly injured.
Ren Lover suddenly put his arms in front of his face and quickly stepped forward. Then, his right arm shredded across the air as he sent several quick jabs toward Kevin Yu's face.
Kevin Yu covered his face with his muscular arms and blocked the jabs. Then, from the corner of his left eye, he noticed a shadow of a kick nearing his abdomen!
He immediately raised his left leg and blocked Ren Lover's sneaky kick!
''Tsk!'' Ren Lover clicked his tongue after his attack failed. However, he immediately regained his composure and continued attacking with his left straight!
Using his right side of the hand, Kevin Yu deflected the left straight, then punched with his left hand immediately after.
Smack!
The punch landed perfectly on Ren Lover's cheek and forced him to stagger backward to reduce the recoil of the punch. However, that gave Kevin Yu a perfect chance to end this match!
''Hiya!'' Kevin Yu reeled in his right arm and punched!
''Predictable!'' Ren Lover shouted while putting his arms as a block.
But then, Kevin Yu suddenly grinned and kicked with his right leg, hitting Ren's thigh perfectly and causing a spine-chilling sound.
THWACK!
''UGH!'' Ren Lover's eyes shook as the pain suddenly spread across his body, 'He did a calf kick?!'
''This is the end!'' Kevin Yu grabbed Ren's collar and threw him to the floor. Then, he immediately mounted him and began throwing punches!
Ren desperately tried to block his face, but his face was suffering from a great amount of damage.
''Enough, match over!'' Their master couldn't continue watching and called off the match.
Kevin Yu stopped punching and stood up with his right arm raised in the victorious pose, ''YEAH!''
''The tournament is over. The winner is Kevin Yu!'' His master announced the winner and went to take care of Ren Lover.
''Ugh…'' Ren Lover was helped up, and his bruised face came into view. He was quite an attractive man, but there was a big bleeding scar across his right eye, making him look quite beaten up. After standing up, his master took him to the medical bay.
Cheers!
The crowd cheered loudly and powerfully.
''Wow, that was amazing!''
''Kevin Yu was so much stronger!''
''Yeah, he easily controlled the match!''
''Ren was strong too, and he managed to control the match at one point, but he was too impatient!''
''That's right, Kevin Yu deserved this victory!''
Kevin Yu smugly smiled with the lofty look. He looked around the crowd with a childish grin as he saw their amazed looks.
'That's right. I am the best!' His body trembled in ecstasy.
After the tournament ended, the crowd began dispersing and left the building.
Shortly later, Kevin Yu left the building with flushed cheeks and his training bag in his left hand. He still felt the euphoric feeling of being the strongest.
Whistle!
He then suddenly whistled towards nearby ladies with flirtatious gaze, ''Yo!''
The beautiful ladies wryly smiled with slightly uncomfortable looks. They averted their gazes and left with quick steps.
''Hmph.'' Kevin Yu moved the strands of his hair to the side, revealing a slightly average face with clear brown eyes.
As he walked past an alleyway, suddenly, a voice entered his ears.
''So, you are the champion of Martial Arts?''
''Eh?'' Kevin Yu stopped and looked towards the alleyway. He could barely see the outline of a person but was sure that he was tall and athletic. The voice was also deep and very pleasant.
''Well, yeah, I am!''
''I see…'' The voice turned quiet before he continued, ''Can I fight against you? I am quite interested in your skills…''
''No offense, but if I fight against amateur, I might kill them!'' Kevin Yu turned his head away, about to leave, because he thought talking to the shadowy figure was a waste of time.
''No worries… I won't die!'' Then, a punch ripped through the air and landed on Kevin Yu's shoulder!
''UGH!'' Kevin Yu's eyes shook as he immediately tried to reduce the impact of the punch. He had to take one step back and accidentally dropped the bag into the dirty puddle.
''What the hell is wrong with you?!'' He screamed angrily.
''Like I said… I want to fight you.'' The person stepped out of the shadows, revealing his inhumanly handsome face.
''Well, let's fight?'' Isaac asked with his right hand clenched into a powerful fist.
