Brains Vs Brawns: Part 1

*Kiyoko Sasaki's POV*

//July 17, 2040//Tuesday//

Raku and Asahi finally left the room after convincing them to let me fight Hyakuzawa. But this fight will be hard for me. After all…

"KIYOKO SASAKIIII!!!"

I'm at a huge disadvantage when it comes to a fistfight.

Earlier, I aimed at Hyakuzawa's neck hoping that I can make his body vulnerable since the neck is a vital point of a human body that will make someone weak when hit. When that move worked, I used that to my advantage and used all of my strength to push Hyakuzawa away by kicking him again, but now on his stomach to buy Raku, and Asahi some time to get outside.

When Hyakuzawa rushed towards me while Asahi and Raku were going to the exit, I intentionally aimed at his neck again. I predicted that Hyakuzawa would most likely put all of his force on one point so that he can focus on blocking my attack to his neck.

But because of that, that makes it easier for me to attack the other parts of his body other than the neck so I extended my reach, and aimed for Hyakuzawa's head instead then kicked him with all of my strength once again making him take a few steps back.

When it comes to a fight, If your opponent knows where your attack is coming from, it makes the other parts of their body vulnerable since they are so focused on blocking that one strike that they assume where it will land.

But even if I pulled those tricks earlier, Hyakuzawa is still a monster. I am aware that I don't have the slightest chance to defeat him, but even if that is the case…

"Hooo…"

I exhaled, and prepared myself against the enemy that is in front of me. Kiyoko Sasaki, you must concentrate.

I focused really hard to the point that I could only hear the ringing of my ears, and my heartbeat. It feels like time has stopped.

Focus… I must not lose focus…

Hyakuzawa's body movements, the relaxation, and contraction of his muscles, where his eyes are looking, his breathing, and his next step. Patterns, timings, rhythm, and habits.

Everything, I must be one step ahead of this guy. My only weapon to beat him is by using my brain. Even if I have no experience in fighting against someone, I have watched a lot of fighting scenes in the past. Put all of that knowledge into this one fight, Kiyoko Sasaki.

I must beat him.

"YOU FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!!!"

Here he comes.

Based on what I know about Hyakuzawa, I can assume that he is a right-handed person. When it comes to choking someone, doing a punch, or doing a kick, his first strike is always coming from the right part of his body. So that means if my prediction is correct…

"AAAARGHHHH!!!"

Hyakuzawa rushed towards me with ferocity, and just like what I predicted, he struck with his right fist.

*SMACK*

"What?!"

He was surprised at what I had done. Instead of blocking his strike, I quickly moved to the left, and pushed his right arm in front of me with all my strength using my right palm.

Usually, when a person lands a punch, then it reaches the farthest point it can reach, there is a second where the muscles of their arm relax, and it can be a great opportunity for someone to shove or push the attacker's arm away from you.

"YOU THINK THAT WILL STOP ME!!!"

When I shoved Hyakuzawa's right arm away from me, the only option for him was to strike me with his left fist from behind. Using a kick will give him more time to execute it, and he probably wouldn't give me that short amount of time to counter.

*FWOOOSH*

I heard the movement of his left fist that was about to strike me in the back. I quickly turned to the right to dodge and took a step back.

"YOU PIECE OF SHIT!!!"

Left kick going to my right.

*FWOOSH*

Right arm swing going directly at my face.

*SLAM*

Hyakuzawa has been striking me for a while now. I kept on dodging his strikes, grabbing the part he used to strike, then shoving it away from me. I kept on reading his movements while waiting for an opening for me to counterattack.

"AAAAAARGHHH!!!"

But as time passes by I begin to notice that his breathing is getting faster, and faster. His irritation of not landing a hit against me is getting worse. And then his next strike was because of his frustration which I didn't expect.

"YOU PIECE OF SHIT!!!"

I swiftly dodged his strike from Hyakuzawa's right arm by instinct, and the mannequin that was beside me is the one that got hit by his fist.

*BANG*

The mannequin went flying to the point that I couldn't follow it with my eyes, and the next thing I saw, it shattered into pieces when it collided with the wall.

I created a distance between the two of us by taking a few steps back away from him.

"Huff… Huff…"

I got exhausted from dodging his attacks without catching my breath, and so did Hyakuzawa who kept on trying to land a hit against me earlier. But when I looked at him, my body was petrified.

"I'm going to kill you…"

Hyakuzawa is like a beast that was about to pounce on his prey. His glare was piercing through my body, and his stance was obviously telling me to get prepared for his next strike, but my body was not listening to me at all.

When I looked at the mannequin again, I could imagine myself to be the one who will be like that when I receive a direct hit against him.

The mannequin was in pieces, it couldn't be recognizable anymore, and it looked like a pile of wood that was destroyed. I can imagine myself being in the mannequin's position.

My bloodied corpse on the floor, and my face that can't be recognizable anymore, that is what I imagine if I will lose to this guy.

My teeth are chattering non-stop, my heart is suddenly beating rapidly, and I was intimidated to move because of this predator that is in front of me.

No, I must think quickly! There is no time to be scared, Kiyoko Sasaki. Think, think! How will you land a strike against him?

And at that moment while I was thinking, I remembered something that Kei told me that is related to Hyakuzawa.

Damn it… Do I need to do that?

*GULP*

When it comes to a fight between two people, the stronger is not always the winner.

The winner is always the one who controls the fight.

And what am I about to do is something dirty that can either be advantageous for me or my doorway to death.

I quickly took a deep breath, relaxed for a moment, and stood up straight while I looked at him right in his eyes.

"Hyakuzawa, do you think that what you are doing is the right thing to do?"

When I asked him that question, there was a sign of confusion on his face, and that quickly turned into a peal of obnoxious laughter.

"HAHAHAHAHAHA!!! WHAT KIND OF QUESTION IS THAT, SASAKI?! IF YOU WANT TO GET OUT OF THIS PLACE THEN THE ONLY THING YOU CAN DO IS KILL EVERYONE ELSE WHO IS HERE INSIDE!!! THAT IS THE ONLY WAY!!! THAT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO!!! ARE YOU AFRAID OF ME NOW?! IS THAT THE REASON WHY YOU ARE ASKING ME THAT BULLSHIT QUESTION, KIYOKO SASAKI?! THAT'S RIGHT NOW YOU HAVE REALIZED MY POWER!!! I AM AT THE TOP OF THIS WORLD'S FOOD CHAIN!!! FEAR ME!!! AND LET ME KILL YOU!!!"

My nerves calmed down, and I gave a quick sigh. The next thing I am about to say is the one that will determine the outcome of this match.

This is one of the things that I have heard from Kei from Hyakuzawa's past life.

"Then let me ask you this…"

I am prepared for what is about to happen after this.

"Do you think that your little sister is happy with what you are doing?"

There was a moment of silence between us, and the room. His bloodlust vanished, and I can sense his muscles relaxing. But…

"You…"

The atmosphere around him, and the room quickly changed, then the next thing I knew, my whole body was shivering from fear.

His eyes are filled with rage, and his aura was filled with more bloodlust than before.

I angered him, and it was obvious from what he looked like right now.

"How did you know about her?"
