Chapter 229 - 2nd Round

"Tich..... dammit I liked this gi you know! this one was specifically made by masters for me" said Kenichi as he took of his gi, to let everyone see his body restraint.

"M#*her Fu*ker!" cursed Will, "You have the guts to wear in restraints while fighting me"

"Ha..... you were calling me an idiot but Kenichi was wearing one as well," said Takeda pointing towards Kenichi.

"Who said he isn't one!? HE is an idiot as well!" stated Saeko shaking her head.

"Grandfather, that guy! He isn't normal, right? His speed was much faster than Kenichi and so was the strength behind his attacks" asked Miu.

"Yes! He is a Master Class Fighter!" replied Elder Hayato.

"What!?" exclaimed everyone teenager sitting in the booth in shock.

"Why are you so surprised!? Didn't Elder already took care of one! So why don't you think that there is a possibility of another Master Class fighter hiding inside the competition and besides what is there to be worried about didn't Kenichi already dealt with a Master Class fighter before! What's so special about this one!?" Rukia said.

"Oh! Yes it's just a Master Class Fighter but Kenichi used the element of surprise to beat Tenmon Li while the guy here is after his life and won't be holding back at all!" said A worried Ukita.

"Don't worry, the current Kenichi can defeat Tenmon Li though it would take him some time the fighter in front of him is just a Low Master Class Fighter so it won't be that hard for him!" stated Akisame

While the Ryozanpaku and their allies were talking about Kenichi's victory the YOMI were also talking about Kenichi.

"This guy is too much, isn't he!? The one in front of him is a Master Class Fighter though he is only Low Master class still does he think he can win against him with those restraints" Sho said.

"His skills up till now show that he is much stronger than anticipated and only when the fight continues will his total ability can be analyzed," Tirawit said.

"Damn! He is hogging so much attention! It will be hard for me to draw more attention when I fight now." Rachel stated as his brother tried to comfort her.

"Maybe what Ogata said about him being stronger than all of us together is right," thought Boris but didn't say them out loud.

Chikage, on the other hand, was nibbling on her chocolate as her eyes continued to stare at Kenichi no one knew what she was thinking.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________

"I just forgot to remove them! you don't have to be all grumpy, here I will remove them!" said Kenichi as he pushed a button and the restraints came off but before the fell on the ground Kenichi caught them and throws them towards his master Apachai for safekeeping, "Don't misplace them Master Apachai!"

"That's it first I will kill you then I will kill those two girls but not before I utterly humiliate them" Will stated but right after that he froze and cursed his mouth that said those words.

Kenichi's eyes narrowed before putting his fists up once more. Will would have charged in to take Kenichi out... if it wasn't for the fact that the ki he was feeling from Kenichi naw far surpassed his. It was clearly Ki no Shouka, something even he hadn't achieved, and even if he did it won't be at the level where Kenichi's was. Though he was a Master Class, he was still a Low-Class Master. Even Master Class Masters barely touched Ki no Shouka, mainly using Ki no Kaiho. Those that could use it were regarded as Grand Master Level, and those with complete mastery of it were Legendary Masters. If only Will knew that Kenichi's control over his Ki had already reached to where he could be regarded as Legendary Master after his fight with the One Legendary Master Hayato Furinji otherwise it would have taken him some time to reach that place.

If not for Kenichi's skill still lacking and his body still developing Kenichi would have been regarded as a Grand Master at least but that step is not that far away.

"What..... the.... hell?" stated Sho slowly as he stood up, reeling from Kenichi. Sho glanced around to see he wasn't the only one who was reacting like this. Boris's eyes had widened, Ethan was now standing, Rachel was blinking rapidly, Chikage whose eyes were on Kenichi became wide as saucers as she dropped her chocolate from her hand, and Tirawit looked like he was suffering a slight malfunction. Inside Tirawit's mind, the program Tirawit had stopped functioning.

Even Carlo Diego, who had been appreciating the show while leaning on his arm stood up as if he to get a closer look. Fortuna, who was still sitting on his chair gazed hungrily at Kenichi.

"That's.... that's" stammered Bobbi Morse who hadn't seen Kenichi in action till now.

At one long hallway leading to the colosseum, Ma Sogetsu merely raised his eyebrow. He was well aware that Kenichi had learned Ki no Shouka, as he had been using it to fight against him and observe his fight with his brother. Still, this fight certainly would be educational for Natsu and entertaining for himself. Natsu himself was staring at the fight with intense concentration. Although he had seen Kenichi use Ki no Shouka against Yuto he hadn't felt any intensity like this that time and it wasn't for long so he couldn't tell much from it but now he had the chance and he was going to use it.

"Ah..... Ken-chan couldn't control himself!? There wasn't any need to show his Ki no SHouka to the world!" said Elder Hayato.

"Well it's not his fault Elder, that guy did threaten him with Miu and Renka!" stated Akisame.

"Hmph, let's see how he survives from Kenichi's wrath!" Renka said.

"Apapa, go Kenichi!" cheered Apachai.

When Kenichi released his Ki, Takeda and the others learned the difference between them. Even though they had seen it before but none of them were as knowledgeable as they are now at that time. Takeda clenched his fist as he looked at Boris at the YOMI booth who was equally shocked at Kenichi's strength but Takeda knew that he was still not at the same level as him.

"Should we be worried that Kenichi has publicly revealed his control of his Ki?"
