Martial Arts System

'Random Stat Increasement Pill left…' Ichiro took a grey pill from his Inventory.

He holds it in his hands. 'Similar texture to Body Increasement Pills…' He thought and put the pill close to his mouth and put it in.

*Gulp*

He swallowed down the pill and saw System beeping about messages.

*Beep*

*Beep*

'Stamina…' Ichiro thought. 'I guess it's fine because I don't really want to spend stat points on it because I can increase it by myself easily.'

Ichiro was satisfied with this.

Coins were the only ones left untouched, he clicked the Shop, to see if there is anything useful.

'Yeah… I can't ever buy those…' Ichiro grimaced while looking at the prices.

'With Killing Blow (Mythical) I probably could kill Abyss.'

Ichiro shook his head and scrolled up, to see the cheaper items.

'I could buy 2 Lottery Spins… Or 5 Random Boxes…'

Ichiro then saw Body Increasement Pills, his eyes brightened.

He still remembers how much he got stronger because of it…

But then he remembers the rewards from Lottery… and those are countless times better.

[You Bought Lottery Spin!]

[You Bought Lottery Spin!]

'I am going to become a gambler aren't I…' Ichiro bought two 2 Lottery Spins and opened the Lottery.

He pressed the [Spin] button and again the familiar wheel started spinning.

White…

Black…

Grey…

Violet…

Red…

Green…

It finally stopped in the color of brown…

[Congratulations!]

[You Received Expert Blacksmithing Mastery!]

[Expert Blacksmithing Mastery: Gives you abilities of Master Blacksmith – You will be able to create weapons which this world has never seen before!]

'WHY WOULD I NEED THAT!' Ichiro internally screamed.

In some sense, Expert Blacksmithing Mastery is an awesome ability to get, and maybe Ichiro will appreciate it in the future.

'Damn…' Ichiro cursed and again pressed the [Spin] button, hoping for something better.

Red…

Pink…

Yellow…

Blue…

Brown…

The wheel finally stopped in the color of grey…

[Congratulations!]

[You Received Random Technique Token!]

[Random Technique Token: It gives you random techniques from any Martial Arts of your choosing!]

'YES!' Ichiro almost shouted loudly, but then remembered Lucas sitting on the couch, not far from him.

Grey-colored Token appeared on his hand.

A small smile appeared on his handsome face, with a slight thumping heart, he activated the token.

[Choose your Martial Arts!]

Ichiro started writing.

[Iron Style]

[Accept/Reject]

Ichiro pressed to accept, and he felt a slight headache.

System was currently looking at his memories and randomly choosing one technique.

The headache lasted for few minutes until finally stopping.

*Ding*

[Congratulations!]

[You Received Iron Style: Iron Smash!]

[Iron Smash: Makes your body move in perfect harmony – which lets you unleash incredibly strong punch!]

Ichiro looked at it blankly and sighed, he slightly chuckled. 'My first Technique… What a Nostalgia…'

Iron Smash was Ichiro's first technique ever created.

Since he was quite naive back then, he simply focused first on punching.

So he made a Technique that lets you unleash a punch, beyond your normal capability.

…But the thing is… Because that Technique was his first… It was also his weakest, and Iron Smash in some sense wasn't a completed technique.

Ichiro created hundreds of Techniques in Iron Style, that's why he never tried to fix the Iron Smash's weaknesses.

It is also Technique he rarely used.

He has other punching Techniques… but Iron Smash might be the weakest one of them.

…But still, Ichiro was happy getting it…

It brought him memories when he trained day after day, sometimes his bones broke… he still kept going.

Sometimes he was suffering blood loss because of the injuries… He still continued.

All that was just to create the Iron Style.

And the Iron Smash was a sign, that he succeeded.

'System… Can I take the Technique Improvement Token back…' Ichiro hopefully asked.

[You can… But you will lose 1000 Coins in the process.]

'Alright… Do it.'

[Steel Slayer -> Ironical Slayer]

[You Received Technique Improvement Token!]

[Choose Your Technique!]

Ichiro started writing.

[Iron Style: Iron Smash]

[Accept/Reject]

Ichiro clicked the Accept.

[Iron Smash -> Steel Smash!]

[Steel Smash: Your body will move in perfect harmony – Your body and mind will be connected once you use this Technique – It allows you to unleash a punch which is greatly above your current abilities!]

Ichiro was satisfied with everything he got.

He looked at the information about Steel Smash and he was surprised.

It allows his body to be connected with his mind once he uses that Technique…

'Maybe Steel Smash is the key for me to reach Martial Captain…' Ichiro thought deeply, he decided to test it back in Irio.

"Ichiro!" He heard a loud shout coming from Lucas.

"What?"

"The News came half an hour ago and already it is spreading to everywhere!" Lucas urgently shouted.

Ichiro raised an eyebrow, even he was surprised that it spread that fast.

"And apparently, the Tournament is canceled…" Lucas sighed.

Ichiro nodded, he was aware that the tournament will be canceled, and perhaps there won't be even a representative for Gensa this year in the upcoming Tournament of Arya to decide the strongest Middle School in Arya.

Which will create a lot of rage among citizens, because Slych Raften is one of the winning candidates, which greatly reduces the anticipation for this tournament.

Usually in the tournament to decide the strongest middle school in Arya.

There is also a battle to decide the strongest middle schooler as well.

First, the team tournament will be held.

A week after that will be decided the strongest Middle Schooler, but only about 32 students Qualify in that, and they are decided usually in the team tournament.

Slych's team wasn't a winning candidate in the team tournament.

But Slych was the winning candidate in the individual tournament.

*Knock* *Knock*

Ichiro and Lucas turned their heads towards the sound, where a hurried barrage of knocks was heard.

Lucas went to open the door and the pale-faced club advisor was standing there.

"Is Ichiro here?!" He asked in a hurry towards Lucas.

"Yup." Lucas let him inside and the club advisor instantly ran towards Ichiro.

"Ichiro, we need to leave Ramu right now, you might be in danger." Club advisor rapidly said.

Ichiro nodded, he was aware that the underworld people might attack him because they clearly talked about him in the video.

So he was one of the suspects in recording the video.

But he isn't scared anymore.

Mars and his Squad will get rid of them, and he is aware that there are at least a few of his squad members in the hotel right now, guarding his room.

"It's impossible to leave tonight, let's leave tomorrow instead," Ichiro said casually.

Club advisor panicked. "This isn't a joking matter! Your life is in danger!"

"Nothing will happen to me, Enforcement Department is here currently."

Club advisor gasped. "W-Why are they here?"

"They were the ones who spread the news about the rigging of the tournament, they will take care of the underworld guys, but we still need to leave tomorrow," Ichiro replied.

Club advisor sighed with relief. "Alright, pack your bags – I will tell the others and then we will leave in the morning." He ran away from the room and went to tell others as well.

"What a mess…" Lucas murmured.

Ichiro chuckled. 'This was supposed to be a simple tournament… but at least it was exciting.'

Ichiro's first tournament in his second life…

Ended in Round of 16.
