Finishing move.
It literally ant a technique that guaranteed killing soone.
Nowadays, it was commonly used in gas or manga, so its original aning had faded, but in the context of martial arts schools, a finishing move ant you had to take the life of the person who witnessed it.
This was because once the technique’s identity was revealed, it would quickly be deciphered and countered.
This was why I had reserved the Fierce Tiger Piercing Spear, which i Ling taught , for the very last mont.
Even though I avoided the vital points, it must have still been a fatal wound. Ivan, whose abdon was pierced by my hand, coughed up blood.
Then, without even thinking of wiping the blood from his lips, he spoke.
“Haha… I never imagined you had such a trump card left.”
“Honestly, it was quite close. I used all the remaining qi in my body with that last attack.”
In truth, I no longer had the strength to even lift a finger.
I’d recover after a bit of rest, but for now, this was my state.
“Even in such a desperate situation where you couldn’t see an inch ahead, you calmly calculated your next move. You’re impressive, even as an enemy…!”
Ivan said that with a satisfied expression, then suddenly pushed my body.
“Ah…! If you pull your arm out now, you’ll bleed out!”
“This is nothing.”
Though blood was gushing out from the gaping hole in his abdon, Ivan turned around with a calm deanor.
“Referee!”
The referee, who had been staring at us with a blank expression from outside the cage, hastily responded.
“Y-Yes! Yes!”
“In this state, I can’t fight anymore, so I’ll forfeit.”
As soon as Ivan said that, an enormous cheer erupted, loud enough to shake the entire club.
Ivan, the head of the Seven Powers and the “God of Destruction” from Russia, had not only lost twice to the sa person but also admitted defeat himself.
Once could be considered luck, but twice was fate, and the crowd was ecstatic over the ergence of a new Seven Powers-level fighter.
Right after that, the tightly shut door of the battle cage opened, and as I descended from the stage with a dazed expression, Sasha and Senior Fuma, who had just rushed down from the VIP room, greeted .
“Good job, Kim Yu-seong.”
“It was an excellent match.”
After shaking hands with the two who looked at with proud expressions, I made eye contact with Fuma Kotaro, who was slowly coming down the stairs.
“You finally succeeded in mastering Nagi.”
“It’s all thanks to your advice, Kotaro-san.”
When I said that and smiled awkwardly, Fuma Kotaro, who had his arms crossed, snorted and replied.
“There’s no need to be so formal anymore. We’ve known each other for quite so ti now.”
“Then, how should I address you?”
“Call father-in-law.”
“F-Father-in-law— Excuse ?”
I instinctively asked back, my brain montarily frozen, but Fuma Kotaro responded with an even more brazen expression.
“You’re going to marry my daughter anyway, aren’t you? Feel free to call that.”
“No no no no.”
I couldn’t help but object to Fuma Kotaro’s unreasonable leap in logic, completely skipping over the middle.
“Why would I be marrying Senior Fuma?”
Fuma Kotaro tilted his head and replied.
“You’re saying sothing obvious. You’ve already learned Hayate, Swift Wind, and even the ultimate technique, Nagi—all secrets of our family—and now you want to back out?”
“What? The condition for learning Hayate was entirely different…”
“Yes, you were only allowed to learn ‘Hayate’.”
“……”
I was montarily at a loss for words.
It was true that the only thing I was permitted to learn was Hayate.
Nagi was part of Hayate, so that could be excused, but I had definitely used Swift Wind in the fight just now.
Sweating nervously, I apologized.
“I… I apologize for using Swift Wind without permission, but still…”
“Hold on a second, Fuma Kotaro.”
“Hmm?”
It was Ivan, whom I thought had already left the arena, suddenly interrupting my conversation with Fuma Kotaro.
Anyway, Ivan, with an agitated expression, suddenly pointed at and said.
“This guy’s been marked as my son-in-law for a while now. Who gave you permission to cut in line?”
?????
What is he talking about now?
I found myself staring at Ivan’s face, bewildered by this sudden statent.
Ivan snorted and pushed Sasha, who was standing next to him, forward.
“Look. Isn’t my daughter far prettier than yours?”
At this, Fuma Kotaro furrowed his brow and retorted.
“I may be tolerant of jokes, but I can’t agree with that nonsense. No matter how you look at it, my daughter, the epito of Yamato Nadeshiko, is clearly more beautiful!”
Suddenly, the two legendary figures started boasting about their daughters.
Caught in the middle, unsure of what to do, I looked back and forth between the two. Then Senior Fuma and Sasha, the other subjects of this discussion, both raised their voices at the sa ti.
“Father!”
“Papa!”
Finally, the two n stopped their bickering over their daughters.
“Hmph, consider yourself lucky.”
“That’s what I should be saying.”
I was already stressed out by complicated relationships with won, and now these old n were making it worse.
Already drained of yang qi, everything suddenly felt tedious, so I decided to end the day and head ho, now that the fight was over.
“Oh, Kim Yu-seong. The last train has probably stopped running, so take our car. I’ve called Boris up.”
Thinking about it, it was almost 1 a.m.
I gladly accepted her kindness.
“Well then, thank you both for everything. I’ll be heading ho now.”
The best course of action when faced with headaches was to flee quickly.
“Has the Diamond Yaksha already left?”
Lucio, William, and Li Senshen, other mbers of the Seven Powers who ca down late from the VIP room, watched Kim Yu-seong’s figure disappear into the distance.
“It was such an intense fight. He must be exhausted.”
“It was quite a fight to watch.”
As Lucio nodded while saying that, Fuma Kotaro, who had been listening beside him, chuckled.
“It’s been a while, but you’re still full of bluster, Lucio. Anyone listening might think you’re on par with Ivan.”
“…My record with him is 0 wins and 0 losses. Who knows what would happen if we fought properly?”
“How about you beat first before saying stuff like that?”
“Tch!”
Not all Seven Powers legends were created equal.
Even though so had made it to the top eight in the GOF (God of Fist) tournant, so were unfortunately eliminated in the semifinals.
Lucio was one such case.
Because he always encountered Fuma Kotaro in the draw, he never had the chance to fight Ivan and beca a mber of the Seven Powers without ever facing him.
“William, it’s been a while. Judging by your appearance, have you beco a priest?”
“It’s all thanks to the grace of God. Brother Ivan seems as healthy as ever.”
“Haha! Without my health, I’d just be a corpse.”
Like old friends eting at a reunion, the Seven Powers mbers who hadn’t seen each other in a while exchanged updates about their lives.
Li i Ling, who had followed her master here, was the only one in the room fiddling with her smartphone when Sasha approached and asked.
“Do you have a mont?”
“?”
She blinked, startled by the sudden question, but upon hearing the na Sasha ntioned, her expression beca serious.
“I’d like to talk about Kim Yu-seong.”
“…How about we move to another place?”
Hearing i Ling’s suggestion, Sasha nodded and directed her to the waiting room for the fighters.
After receiving permission from her master to leave for a mont, she headed to the waiting room, where a guest was already waiting.
“Welco.”
i Ling looked cautiously at the blue-haired girl who seed to be the host of this gathering.
‘This must be Ivan the Destroyer’s daughter.’
Her blue hair, just like her father’s, shone beautifully under the fluorescent lights.
Her stunning proportions were like those of a model, and her skin was so pale that it made i Ling feel incomparable.
Even as a fellow woman, i Ling couldn’t help but feel a twinge of inferiority looking at this beautiful girl.
Noticing i Ling’s mood, Sasha smiled gently and said.
“There’s no need to be so wary. I called you two here to make a proposal.”
“A proposal?”
i Ling unconsciously echoed her words, and Sasha nodded before addressing Fuma Yukika, who was sitting beside her.
“This proposal wouldn’t be bad for Senior Fuma either. After all, it’s related to Kim Yu-seong.”
“…Stop wasting ti and get straight to the point.”
Sasha shrugged her shoulders and responded.
“I’m currently part of an organization. It was ford to achieve very personal desires. I’m here to invite the two of you to join.”
“…What kind of organization is this?”
Sasha smiled confidently and revealed the na of the organization to both of them.
“This is Kim Yu-seong’s Harem.”
