NASM: Chapter 102

"No, no, no. You're not worthy of fighting me yet.

How about this: you fight my teammates first. If you can beat them, then you'll have earned the right to fight me," Hiroshi said, a sarcastic smile on his face, wagging his finger.

Ichiryu's face flushed crimson. He hadn't expected Hiroshi to use such a humiliating tactic.

Damn it! That arrogant jerk! Fine, I'll take out his teammates one by one and then settle the score with him. Even if he begs for mercy, I won't forgive him, Ichiryu thought, suppressing his anger.

After a tense minute, Ichiryu finally spoke. "Fine. But don't regret this later!"

Hiroshi nodded, smiling. "Don't worry, I won't regret it. Besides, you might not even be able to beat my teammates."

"YOU!!!" Ichiryu exploded with rage.

"Rai, you're up. Go fight Ichiryu and see if you can beat him," Hiroshi said, turning to Rai with a smile.

Rai understood immediately and nodded.

Rai, carrying Ichiryu's balloon, slowly approached.

"If I'm not mistaken, this is your weakest member. Sending him out first? I wonder what you're thinking," Ichiryu said, smirking at Rai.

However, a surge of anger flared within him. He felt Hiroshi was deliberately humiliating him by sending his weakest member against him. Wasn't that an insult?

"Don't be so sure. He might be stronger than you think," Hiroshi said, further provoking Ichiryu.

Ichiryu spat on the ground and charged forward.

"Fine! Let's see how easily I eliminate your teammate!" Ichiryu said, suddenly accelerating towards Rai.

Ichiryu's speed was too great; he vanished before Rai's eyes. If Rai were stronger, he might have sensed Ichiryu's position, but his skills were still lacking.

"Looking for me, kid?" Ichiryu appeared behind Rai, landing a powerful blow to his side, sending him flying.

"Oof!"

Rai crashed to the ground, but his balloon remained intact.

It seemed Ichiryu wasn't going to make eliminating Rai so easy.
