"I see that you know about Satsui's counter. Perhaps you might have it? Even if you do, I tell you that all that you will be doing is nothing but wasting your breath."
 
“Who knows, I just might be.” Exceed shrugged, “but problably because I am getting the short end of the sticky for having something else to counter your style instead.”


“....Something is odd about this one here.” Scientia noted, “He doesn't seem to hail from this realm.”

Or even the world Clair and I are from. And yet...


“Well,either way. We'll see which on of us is wasting their breaths by the end of the match.” The "Pain Giver" added. Eventually the referee gave the clear for the match to start.
 
Exceed also didn't do much except sigh and flicked his right wrist a bit, which was noticeably the only hand that was gloved with the other being bare.

“Guess I'm up first then...”


(BGM because why not)

Without another word as his right hand clenched into a fist, he slammed down onto the ground, the shockwave causing the cracks formed to launch up at Goutetsu as if they were spikes. Unsurprisingly, it was easily evaded, also simply just a cover for Exceed stopping right in front of Goutetsu for an uninterrupted strike. Naturally it lead to Goutetsu redirecting his fist away and then proceeding to flip Exceed off.

However, it lead to the latter utilising the motion to flip-kick Goutetsu at the side of his head, the blow actually staggering the Raging Demon despite it not looking an extremely hard blow. Landing safely, the Pain Giver lunged his fist towards his opponent, only to find that it was shielded with the impact pushing Goutetsu backwards. Not that it seemed to have bothered him at the very least however.

“....Quite impressive.” Goutetsu responded, his tone subtly hiding an underlying sense of sarcasm that was masked by his stoicism.

“However, the past match should have hinted that monstrous strength will only leave you more fatigue.”

A small smile was seen on Exceed's uncovered face as he simply pulled his hood down a little more, seemingly implying he cares more about leaving his face obscured rather than paying more mind on the fight he is in.

“Sure.”

Goutetsu's palm soon raised forwards, a ki blast void of colours manifested from Satsui's RW power launched towards Exceed. Only for the latter swing his left hand up, swatting the ki sphere off as it soon dispersed. This time the sight did not surprise Goutetsu, as he had just seen something similar occur before. Exceed simply slipped his hands into his pockets as he slowly walked towards Goutetsu.

“So. Don't you think it's about time you ended this fight quickly?” The "Pain Giver" simply asked with his obscured gazed fixed onto Goutetsu's.

“The rule that prohibits killing applies onto participants. But they never said it applies for a particular special guest standing right here per his request.”

--------------------------------------------------
*PTOOEY*

“S-say what!?”

Xenon exclaimed at Exceed's extremely foolishly bold statement, having spit his drink out at the side upon hearing it.

--------------------------------------------------
“...He's....literally being suicidal now. Isn't he?” Cheng muttered.

“Huh? What did he mean?”

“That, kid.....means he personally asked that any participant can legally get away with killing him on the arena. Intentional or not. ”

Clair responded, his arms crossed while his expression suggests that he's currently having very mixed feelings about Exceed's intention.

Without another second to lose, both Exceed and Goutetsu soon started trading blows rather quickly. It was unknown if the shock is mainly from the fact that the guest fighter outright allowed his life to be taken from, or due to the revelation that the mysterious guest representing a lesser known village was actually giving the Raging Demon a run for his money. All the while also maintaining a neutral expression while Goutetsu was only barely glaring at his opponent gradually.
 
"This strength he has is almost the same as mine. However, just what is he thinking of doing?" Goutetsu thought as he continues to exchange hands.​
 
Both of their fists soon collide onto the other, the impact pushing Goutetsu and Exceed metres away from each other, starring at each other while the latter once again pulled his hood down a little more

“Well...seems this is gonna take a while. Arena's not exactly in its best state either after all the blows we've been delivering.”

He was admittedly not false to assume so. The stadium took a lot of damages during the duo's fight, potentially ruining it even further if they had kept it up longer, which could mean the other two semi-finalists would have to fight on a broken arena that probably may as well be a hazard.

“Guess I really was wasting my breath since this battle isn't going anywhere. I'm...just gonna call it quits and withdraw myself from the match.”

Exceed casually remarked, soon stepping away from the stadium while everyone could only just stare in massive dumbfoundness as the "Pain Giver" left.

Indeed, he would eventually be known in Gaia's history as that one fighter who manages to give a terrifying fighter a run for their money and suddenly just retiring in the middle of the fight. An internet sensation as one of the most bizarre men to have appeared in existence.

--------------------------------------------------
“....I don't think I even want to know what is up in that man's mind anymore.” Xenon muttered with a deadpan look.
 
"Forfeit! The winner is Goutetsu Onima-" The referee was suddenly cut off when a cup of soda was thrown at him as the crowd throws their food onto Goutetsu who is simply walking away. But if one were to look closer, his face shows signs of both anger and disappointment.​
 
“I'm frankly quite impressed he's actually somehow put up a terrifyingly perfect fight against Goutetsu.” Cheng remarked, “But...why did he willingly withdraw when he doesn't seem to have much difficulty against him? It's as if he was just planning for something else to happen instead.”


Xenon noticed the subtle rage present on Goutetsu's face, feeling a bead of sweat roll down before glancing at Ryutaro.

“I think you or your sister may wanna be careful when you're up against Goutetsu. Something tells me he's genuinely shook by the match against Exceed.”
 
"Can't say I disagree. Man had a fight when his enemy bowed out. Looking at him so livid is...damn."
 
“What did he have in mind when doing that though...?”


“Was there such possibility of a Satsui practitioner's rage instead becoming detrimental to their mental health and line of thought should they lose control of it?” Scientia asked, having witnessed a rather weird outcome to an intense match.
 
"Satisfaction, possibly." Ryutaro replied. Back at the Tennouji Inn, Ryujiro said "They become maniacs obsessed with deaths and destruction. But look at Goutetsu, he appears to have mastered it to the point of fully controlling it. Fortunately he hasn't used the full potential of it."​
 
“So their uncontrolled anger causing them to not pay attention beyond simply dealing more rage-fueled blows is out of the realm of possibilities then.” Scientia concluded, apparently believing a theory he thought of to have been debunk.
 
"For the final match of the semi finals, we have; Ryutaro Tennouji versus Ryukia Tennouji! Please come up the stage!" The referee announces.​
 
Ryutaro nods back as he walks up the stage to face his little sister. They stare at each other, and when the referee calls the start of the match, the two went punching each other's faces before proceeding to exchange blows.​
 
Ryutaro and Ryukia end their exchange by punching each other's fists and backing away. They both have ki spheres appear in their hands and begin to blast each other with them like dodgeball.​
 
“Hey...by any chances have the staffs ever made any considerations about the participants possibly unintentionally harming the audience?” Clarion asked, noting that there don't seem to be any barrier of sorts protecting the audience.
 
"Perhaps they do?" Rachelle answered, unsure. Back to the fight, Ryutaro and Ryukia stopped exchanging ki blasts as they charge towards each other to land punches. Only the latter got hit as the former was able to dodge hers. She retaliated by delivering a nut shot, but Ryutaro catches it and then tries to punch her face again, only to be caught. They are now on a lock. They begin to push each other, but Ryutaro overpowers her, pushing her until she hits hard on the wall. He backs away, only for Ryukia to quickly get of and throws herself to deliver a dive kick to the gut. With Ryutaro staggered, she wasted no time to deliver a series of uppercuts until she finishes with a downward strike on the face, only for Ryutaro to block it.

Ryukia backs away, only for her to be tackled by Ryutaro followed by a hook to the temple and then to end things off, a strong punch to the gut, knocking her out. "Knockout! The winner is Ryutaro Tennouji!" The referee yelled.​
 
“So it's over now,” Xenon muttered.

“And now comes the biggest challenge of them all: the Raging Demon himself.”

“Yeah. This one's not looking too good however...” Xenon shook his head in response to the Artic Knight's remark.
 
After some time during the break, the gong begins to sound. "For years, the Budokai Tenkaichi Tournament has been looking for the world's strongest from all over the world. At this time, we would like to thank all of you for watching this spectacular event. As the tournament is nearing it's climax, let us give our humble respects to our participants who have fought tooth and nail for the right to be known as the best. And now, for the final match!" As the referee have said, Ryutaro and Goutetsu comes up the stage.

"Ryutaro Tennouji, Goutetsu Onimaru, the two most dominating fighters will duke out in the final act! Who among them will become victorious?" The referee said just as the two fighters finally meet face to face.​
 
“There it is now. Goutetsu up against our friend.” Cheng watched intently, noting the barely angered expression the Raging Demon still held from being denied a potentially eventful match earlier.
 
"Without further ado, let the match begin!" The referee yelled and the first thing Ryutaro does is charging in to Goutetsu to land a ki-enhanced punch on his face, which did nothing. He then proceeds to deliver an onslaught of punches and kicks to land even a little scratch on him. Nothing happened. As he continues however, Goutetsu grabs his arm and throws him away. Ryutaro quickly recovers as he does some flips while throwing ki blasts at Goutetsu, which he takes them and did not get hurt by any of them. Ryutaro is getting frustrated at this point.

As he was about to make his next move, Goutetsu quickly zooms in and lands a strong punch to the guy before unleashing his own barrage of attacks on him.​
 
After landing one final blow, Ryutaro stands bloodied. "So you refused to fall. Very well, I shall end you quickly." Goutetsu said as he raises his fist and then goes on in to land the blow...only for Ryutaro to suddenly disappear just as it touches him. Goutetsu's eyes widen in surprise, but became more surprised when he suddenly felt a shot of pain in his gut as him a punch was landed but the effect was delayed.

"Um...what just happened? Did Ryutaro just..."

Goutetsu turns around and sees Ryutaro with a white and silver aura emanating. "This power...don't tell me that's-" Goutetsu suddenly gets sucker punched in the face with a few teeth flying out of his mouth. As soon as he gets a clear view of Ryutaro, he can see that something has happened to him. It is as if he has untapped an unknown power without knowing it.​
