Chapter 291 - Master and Disciples fight

"Where is the Councilwomen, Shirahama?" asked Boris

"Now that isn't something you should ask Boris as you know I won't ever tell you the answer to that question," Kenichi said as jumped down from the bumper of the Porsche.

"Grr... My orders are absolute! Master tasked me to find the councilwoman and I will complete the mission before he reaches here! D2 takes the rest of the squad and hold of Shirahama! I will look for the councilwomen for the time being!" barked Boris as he ran, intent on rushing past Kenichi thinking that he must have hidden the councilwomen in the area somewhere behind him.

Kenichi could have stopped Boris there but he didn't as he knew that his subordinates will try to stop him making it difficult for him to stop Boris and he was right. Just as Boris ran past him several girders that Boris's squad had with themselves came flying towards him. Boris's squad mates then surrounded Kenichi, hoping the fact that he had to defend himself in a 360-degree axis would delay him further.

One tried to punch Kenichi while another aimed for his legs. Kenichi parried the punch while lifting his leg to dodge the kick. Then, in the same breath, he twisted his attacker's arm in a grab while spinning on his other foot. His other leg, which was lifted, swiftly shot out while spinning, kicking two of his opponents in the head. The one he grabbed was promptly lifted off the ground and thrown into the other two, knocking them out as well.

Boris could only look in shock at this, and watching his squad mates down there, he could imagine his fellow YOMI's faces down there if they fought Kenichi, even if they were all stronger than his squad mates. He wanted to go down there and test his level against Kenichi and understand how much far he is from the master class. But orders were orders. Pushing down his d.e.s.i.r.e, Boris ran straight deep in the lumber yard to find the Councilwomen.

"Tch, same old Boris" muttered Kenichi before quickly using a stack of lumber to jump in front of Boris.

"I won't let you go so easily" declared Kenichi as he carefully placed his hands up activating Seikuken.

Boris growled back, "I will finish my mission!"

On the other side of the lumber Yard Akisame was standing right in front of Alexander. Both the masters had reached the yard at almost the same time and instead of going towards their disciple they moved in a different direction so as to not let them get caught between their fight.

Alexander would have reached earlier but since he couldn't use his helicopter as the place was quite near the airport, hence he had to run here on his foot.

As the two masters met they started to fight without saying anything much. Alexander two stacks of lumber at Akisame which he easily grabbed before hurling them back. Alexander jumped and dodged the lumber as well when one of the stacks of lumber was burst open raining logs of lumber on Alexander forcing him to jump once again to dodge them.

The two clashed once more, parrying or dodging each other's attacks before they began to throw one another. Each throw attempt led to a counter throe, which led to another, and another, until they were doing it in a vicious cycle. Soon, they separated from each other, both glaring at each other.

The fight between the two created such loud noise that their two disciples found out where they were and the first one to reach the place where they were fighting was Kenichi who was sitting in a corner watching the fight between the two grandmasters.

"Master! I am sorry I am late and haven't found the Councilwoman yet" shouted Boris as he burst into the area.

__________________________________________________________________________

The reason for such time delay from when Boris entered the area to when Boris entered was due to the fight a few minutes earlier with them. Kenichi had effectively blocked Boris from even rushing forward.

'Is the difference between us this much!?' thought Boris as he tried to rush forward from the sides only to be denied.

Boris then made a huge mistake as he tried to leap for Kenichi's neck after attacking from below. Kenichi caught both hands, and in a swift movement, spun Boris around for a bit before hurling him back to ground level, into a bundle of lumber. Boris shook his head and looked up to see Kenichi already rushing towards the place from where the sound of fighting was coming.

"Boris, emergency orders! That woman is in the office behind that kid, bring her away" shouted Alexander as he engaged Akisame once more.

Kenichi was surprised to hear that as he didn't give a single signal that he was here to protect the office from their fight but somehow Alexander was able to find Irina even then. Hence all he could do right now was take out Boris then move Irina away from the fighting zone of the two grandmasters.

"You lead an honest and reliable disciple on the wrong path" stated Akisame with a tsk, "It's betraying the trust between master and disciple!"

"As long as he has orders, he doesn't need trust" replied Alexander as he threw a backfist.

Akisame couldn't help but express his anger at that as he stepped forwards. Alexander thought he could reach Akisame's movements, tried to be thrown down into the floor.

'What? How is this possible? Did I read the movements wrong?' thought Alexander as he quickly flipped back as he tried to regain the offensive, only for his fist to pass through an afterimage before being thrown into the ground again.

Alexander could only watch in shock as Akisame suddenly became invisible. no matter what he tried, Alexander kept on finding himself being thrown into the ground. However, he managed to decipher what was happening as he was being thrown. Sadly, knowing what was happening and stopping it from happening was two different things. Alexander was forced to admit that Akisame was much better than him technique-wise.
