Chapter 32

We headed outside. Eri wanted to watch so I allowed her. I told her to go watch behind a tree.

"Are you ready for this?" She looked at me and nodded. "Then let's begin." She rushed at me very quickly and struck down her leg. It hit my shoulder but did nothing to me. Although the ground below me made a small crater. She then jumped away and started running in circles around me.

'What in the flash?' I thought to myself. She had alot of after images but to me it was still only one of her. She stopped running and stared at me. "What was that for?" I asked. "I just had to warm my legs up. Get ready kid." She moved a centimeter then disappeared? To me she was just running towards me at slow speeds. She appeared in front of me and tried to punch me in my face.

I caught the punch and threw her towards a large tree. She flew threw that tree and hit another one. I then started walking towards her. She was conscious but couldnt move. "If you dont get up in 7 seconds then I win." She struggled hard and managed to get up. "Damn it kid. Your tough but I can take it." She then kicked at me multiple times, only to be dodged by me. She kept getting faster and faster but it was still very slow in my eyes. I jumped back to keep some distance.

I then decided to fight back. "I'm going to fight back now." She flinched then grunted because of pain. I then ran at normal speeds towards her. She got into a pose of a boxer. When I was just in front of her. She swung her leg down on me. It would have fooled anyone else but not me. I caught it and started spinning her around. I aimed up and let go. She flew very very high in the air. I then jumped up and got behind her. I hit her down and she came crashing like a meteor.

Dust flew up and trees got destroyed. When all the dust cleared up, you could see her lying still on the ground passed out. "Looks like I win." Or so i thought. She then proceeded to get up like a zombie. Her pupils were gone and only white remained. I then sighed and flew down towards her. I got in front of her and knocked her out for good. "Mama" yelled eri. She could only follow the parts of the fights when we were going slow. So basically the last part and me running.

"Papa, your a bully." She then took rumi's hand and held it. "Sorry eri. Please forgive me." I pleaded to her. "Only if you apologize to her first." I nodded and we left with rumi on my shoulders again.

...

I was in the living room when she woke up. "I lost huh." I nodded and continued watching TV. "If you want to fight me again, then I'll accept but only once a day." She had alot of potential. If she could learn anything from me then she'll be on of the strongest in the world. She looked at me and nodded. "Since i won, you belong to me now. It was a bad idea on your part to accept this deal in the first place." She seemed sad but accepted it.

"By the way, why did you even send out a hero agency form to me if you don't like working with others?" She looked up and said "Because I knew you were strong just from the Sport festival video. I basically wanted to test how strong you were. I don't regret it and I'm actually thankful." She smiled at me and I blushed a little. "Mom your awake" said eri. "Mo-?" She could finish her sentence because eri jumped in her arms. "What do you mean by mom?" she questioned.

"Papa said that if you lose to him, you can be my mom." She then glared at me. "I'm sorry rumi for hurting you alot earlier." She seemed taken back but quickly regained her senses. "It-Its fine. You were just fighting back so its ok." Eri, who heard that smiled even deeper. "How did you find out my name?" She questioned. "Who wouldn't know a famous hero names." She smiled at that answer and nodded.

"Now let's leave eri." I told her earlier that we were going to go back home. She nodded and got out from Rumi's embrace. "See you tomorrow rumi. I'm gonna leave my suitcase here for tonight. She seemed like she wanted to say something but didnt. We left the house and went back to the train station.
