Chapter 51 - Master Kensei

After school ended Saeko went to meet her sister while Kenichi and Miu went towards Ryozanpaku.

Though Miu didn't showed it much but Kenichi could easily see her face glowing after she decided to take part in the theatre as Juliet.

After reaching the dojo Kenichi directly changed into his karate dress while Miu went to make lunch followed by Shigure whome she told about her role in theatre.

"So... What role do you have in the play, donkey? asked Shigure

"No it's the main character, can you Belive that? Since it seems like they are really short on people I thought this would be easy of helping them out. Hehe" Miu explained

"Umm–.... sounds fun" said Shigure

"There's only five days left I don't know if I will be able to learn all the lines though" said Miu

"You will be ok since you are smart" said Shigure

"It's good that she is happy, isn't it sensei otherwise she is always stressful cause of you all" Kenichi said while standing in front of Kensei Ma.

"Hey don't get distracted!! the hour before dinner is precious time allocated to me. Recently the ration of training for b.a.r.e fisted fighting has decreased so you should concentrate on it more" Kensei Ma said while showing him a pie chart which is time allocated to ask 4 men for teaching Kenichi.

"Then we will start with at the pointed spear hand position of Hakkejyou...." Kensei Ma said as he went into the surest hand position and said "Try punching me"

Ok" Kenichi said and punched towards Kensei Ma who turned around, then push the punch to the left and used the right hand to attack his neck.

"From this position you can reverse to a completely different position so you can simultaneously perform Defence and offence, You see!?" Kensei Ma said

"Huh! Yeah you are right" Kenichi said

"And from this position you can easily twist the arm" said Kensei Ma while doing the exact thing to Kenichi.

"Shit!" Kenichi said as he tried to free his arm from Ma but he found out that it wasn't possible even after using so much of his strength.

"The strength of Hakkejyou is the flowing series of techniques. So should we try out a light combo now...?" said Kensei Ma ready to teach Kenichi while beating him a little.

"Neck strike! Crotch! turn around to the back and edge of the hand to the back of the neck! Elbow to the side! and finish it off by kicking the back of the knee to topple your opponent!" Explained Kensei Ma while performing these actions on Kenichi who was lying on the ground in a daze state.

"Hmm what happened Kenichi" asked Kensei Ma.

"I wasn't able to move while you were using Hakkejyou on me! Why!?" Kenichi said

"You are fast and strong Kenichi and have bestial instincts but that doesn't mean you will be able to dodge or defend every attack that's comes your way, isn't that why you came here to learn from us" Kensei Ma said.

"*sigh* Yes, you are right Master Kensei" Kenichi said as he stood up.

"Now since Hakkejyou is a flowing set of attacks, it has a low amount of power. So that's why you attack the vital spots, but you can't kill your opponent with this move. So I will teach you my secret technique of counter attacking when you're being held by your opponent" said Kensei Ma as he made Kenichi hold him by the back of his neck with both hands.

As Kenichi did so Kensei attacked his chin with the palm of his right hands, through this attack Kenichi didn't felt anything.

"If your opponent has strong neck muscles then he would be able to handle things much. Since your distance is close you can't put enough of your strength behind it. And your opponent will know if this too but here in less the trap...." said Kensei as he used his left hand to hit elbow that's was in contain with Kenichi's chin making him fly back 3 to 4 meters.

"Aahh... shit! that had a tremendous impact" Kenichi said while sitting up.

"Hitting the elbow that's in contact with your opponent's chin with your other arm. You're concentrating the power of two arms on just one hand so the power is increased. Further since your hand is in contact with the chin your opponent can't dodge and unlike you who jumped to lesson the force behind the attack no one would be able to replicate that until he has the same amount of agility and instinct you" Kensei Ma said.

"Huh!! you knew that I jumped up to lesson the impact of the force behind the attack" asked Kenichi in shock.

"Ofcourse who do you think I am that I won't be able to find this pretty truck of yours, but I have to say Kenichi that was pretty good as that's the only way to save yourself from this technique" Kensei Ma said.

"But I still got hot pretty badly and I am sure someone who doesn't have a strong neck won't be able to take the full force of it" Kenichi said while rubbing his jaw.

"This a dangerous technique, you should never reach out to anyone else, not should you use it against a weak opponent!! There that's all for today" said Kensei Ma as he left Kenichi alone after that.

After lunch Kenichi saw Miu practicing her dialogues with Akisame.

"OH ROMEO, ROMEO WHERE–... FORE ART THOU ROMEO" said Miu in broken English

"ALAS, THERE LIES MOTE PERIL IN THINE EYE THEN TWENRY IF THERE SWORDS." Akisame followed with a perfect pronounciation and without looking at the dialogues.

"Man she really sucks and will need a lot of practice whereas Master Akisame has already remembered all the dialogues" thought Kenichi.

"ROMEO, WHERE FORE THOU ROMEO....." continued Miu.

Looking at her practicing diligently Kenichi smile and said to himself "I am really looking forward to this play now.."
