[Secret Room]
[Third Person]
As Yuuto sat in a meditative position, seemingly unperturbed by the explicit scene beside him, Mary was next to him fully fucked silly with her tongue out and her ass in the air and her head down with an ahegao expression that could not fail to demonstrate her complete submission.
Her body displaying the aftermath of their shared desires. However, Yuuto paid little attention to the spectacle, having already satisfied his lust, and shifted his focus to the screen before him.
On the display, Yuuto's character sheet revealed a basic status:
[Yuuto Hanma]
[Race: Human]
[Sub-Race: Hanma]
[Gender: Male]
[Age: 15]
[Height: 180 cm (5'11")]
[Weight: 95 kg (209 lbs)]
[Affiliation: Reincarnation Colosseum]
[Class: None - Lv 1]
[STR: I 0]
[VIT: I 0]
[END: I 0]
[AGI: I 0]
[MAG: I 0]
[MAGIC: None]
[SKILLS: Adaptability]
Yuuto's expression remained indifferent as he observed the information before him. It was in line with his expectations, although the ability he had gained from this new world caught his attention.
Contemplating the future, he wondered if his desires would play a role in shaping his path, similar to how Bell Cranel's various abilities were influenced by his devotion to Ais.
The irony struck him as he considered the power system, reminiscent of the One-Punch Man universe, where one's obsession served as the focal point for surpassing human limits. It was amusing to think how such a seemingly complex system could be influenced by the simple, yet profound, nature of human desire.
In that moment, the realization dawned upon Yuuto that the challenges ahead would prove more daunting than he had initially envisioned. The path to advancement in this new realm involved feats akin to the legendary labors of Heracles, confronting entities such as the Lernaean Hydra and the formidable Nemean Lion to augment his strength.
"Given my Hanma bloodline, the potential is technically boundless," Yuuto mused aloud, his voice tinged with excitement for the impending battles that lay ahead.
However, he quickly pulled himself from such speculative statements, recognizing it was premature to make such grand declarations.
As Yuuto settled into a more relaxed state, he could sense his focus intensifying, his mind delving into a realm of concentration and imagination befitting a storyteller crafting his ideal narrative.
Gradually, he transitioned into a meditative state, a practice well-suited for a being like him, where repetition facilitated rapid learning.
The process involved summoning memories of adversaries suitable for him. As these recollections surfaced, illusion of the opponent materialized, offering a platform for practice or, conceivably, other purposes.
Confidence surged within Yuuto, courtesy of his Demonic Brain. This unique attribute not only heightened his concentration and understanding but, more significantly, amplified his imagination, allowing him to practically mold the world according to his will within the confines of his mindscape—Yuuto's mental domain.
Within this ethereal space, Yuuto delved into the repository of his memories, drawing upon past experiences from the manga. As the recollections unfurled, an illusion of his opponent materialized before him.
The adversary took the form of a young man, characterized by sharp features and predatory yellow eyes. Long silver hair ascended into two prominent prongs, imparting a wolf-like aura. Notably lean and muscular, he sported a tight black long-sleeved shirt, loose white martial arts pants, a yellow sash cinched around his waist, and tai chi slippers adorning his feet.
"Let's see how many times I will die against you..." Yuuto couldn't help but mutter, assuming a fighting stance without hesitation, launching into his attack without wasting a moment. The mental battlefield unfolded as the clash began, an intricate fight between memory, imagination, and combat prowess.
"Renewal Taekwondo: Axe"
Yuuto initiated the confrontation with a forceful Axe attack, leaping into the air and executing a spinning motion while descending with one foot positioned horizontally. The result was a substantial wave of air radiating outward, a formidable strike capable of effortlessly shattering the ground and subduing even a martial arts expert.
However, the adversary confronting him proved far from a straightforward challenge. In fact, it seemed that by employing such martial prowess, he was enhancing the enjoyment of their skirmish.
Thus, when Yuuto's blow connected with his opponent, the tables turned swiftly. The counterattack was devastating, akin to the creation of a protective sphere around the adversary, where every entering force succumbed to the destructive might of his fists.
The sequence unfolded at a rapid pace, catching Yuuto off guard. His body failed to react in time, and he found himself overwhelmed, powerless to halt the opponent's relentless assault.
Suddenly, a distinct cracking sound resonated through the air, signaling a break in Yuuto's neck. His head turned unnaturally, eyes losing their vitality as his lifeless body descended to the ground.
In that fleeting moment, Yuuto met his demise, with the utmost simplicity.
In the face of Garou's swift counterattack, Yuuto found himself unable to react in any meaningful way. The speed and precision of Garou's blows elevated him to an entirely different tier of strength, exploiting small he weak points with remarkable precision.
Garou's techniques flowed like water, seamlessly executed yet possessing a destructive power capable of obliterating rocks. It was evident as he like had defeated S-rank heroes, highlighting the need for Yuuto to accumulate more combat experience to stand a chance against this human monster.
The conflict was far from over; rather, it marked the commencement of an engaging challenge for Yuuto. Being a Hanma, this was merely a pathway to becoming stronger.
The training method, executed in a meditative trance without physical movement, allowed him to transfer the damage endured to his physical form, ensuring a vivid recollection of the pain experienced in battle, but in this way he could have continued fighting until he lost consciousness or was seriously injured.
Fortunately, Yuuto didn't require full knowledge of his opponents to incorporate them into his memories. His focus lay in learning and adapting, preventing consecutive defeats. As the battles continued, he forged ahead, accumulating knowledge and experiences to fortify himself against the impending trials.
Indifferent to the frequency of his own death, Yuuto harbored a singular focus on the sensation of growing stronger, relishing the supreme feeling of freedom that accompanied facing formidable opponents.
Garou's technique was impeccable, utilizing his fingertips to strike with incredible precision at Yuuto's smallest weak points. The simplicity of his movements, smooth as water, concealed a destructive power capable of shattering rocks with unparalleled force.
Adding to the challenge, Garou's superior speed allowed him to elude Yuuto's gaze. Swiftly, he parried in front of Yuuto, delivering a kick to the stomach.
But Yuuto, thanks to his 'Sense Danger' skill, he managed to form a defensive barrier with his arms, absorbing the impact. Despite his defensive effort, the force of the attack sent him flying several kilometers into the imaginary world. Fortunately, Yuuto had grown accustomed to the blistering speed of combat.
Undeterred, as Garou closed in once again, Yuuto flashed a confident smile. Responding with a Front Kick, he aimed to disrupt his opponent's balance, seizing an opportunity to turn the tide.
The Front Kick is a powerful upward kick, this technique belongs to different styles of martial arts, some Taekwondo users consider this technique as their maximum that could be given during a fight.
Fully embracing the sentiment, Yuuto observed Garou's defense waver slightly under his assault, prompting him to press on with a relentless charge. Executing a "Baekdu," a knee attack, he propelled his opponent a considerable distance.
The strategic choice behind this technique lay in its seamless combination with others, allowing for quick successions and changes in direction. This tactical approach afforded Yuuto a significant advantage, placing him in a favorable position.
"Dargon Sign Hwechook."
A vortex of airflow materialized around Yuuto's leg, signifying the initiation of a technique, a variation of the Hwechook, orchestrating the airflow to create a devastating attack capable of obliterating all in its path.
But Yuuto wasn't done yet. As he manipulated the airflow and pressure around him, the image of an orienting blue dragon manifested behind him, roaring ferociously and causing the entire surrounding space to vibrate.
"Original Jin Mo-Ri: Blue Dragon Kick."
The air pressure unleashed by Yuuto's kick overwhelmed Garou's defenses, leaving him unable to intervene. In the aftermath, Garou's form succumbed to the force, dissipating into golden particles after a few seconds—a testament to the potency of Yuuto's formidable technique.
In the aftermath of his decisive action, Yuuto's eyes widened as he reoriented himself to the real world around. "Not bad... I only had to die 20 times before his attacks started to do less damage, and I managed to secure a victory against him," he remarked.
With a deep sigh, he attempted to dismiss the physical toll transferred to his real body, choosing to focus on the hard-earned triumph rather than the accumulated damage.
