Chapter 5: Niijima Haruo


    After the incident with Miu, Kenichi''s family were shifting there house from the neighborhood and as they were leaving by the car Kenichi saw Ryuto running after there car and Shouting something. Kenichi peeped from the cars window and heard Ryuto


    Ryuto: " Kenichi you said only strong can protect their loved ones, when I grow up I will be stronger than you and after I beat you, I will take the Ying Yang pin that should have been mine"


    Kenichi heard all of this and knew that Ryuto is not gonna change so he showed a thumbs-up to Ryuto to ept his challenge. The car then increased the speed and was out of Ryuto sight.


    The Shirahama family reached their new residence and settled there. Kenichi had once again started his training this time with more effort his training program has lengthened which have 50 sit-ups, 50 push-ups, 50 crunches, 50 pull ups and 5 kilometres of running that was Kenichi''s schedule for morning and evening along with that he has also training his energy.


    Kenichi has started his middle school life, he was 13 years old right now his training has also increased he had started wearing ankel waits since 3 years ago which was 5 kg at each ankle and have increased to 25 kg at each ankle now. Even his energy control has increased he is able to coat any part of his body with energy whenever he wants ofcourse he haven''t used it as he didn''t fought with someone who forced him to use it.


    As Kenichi was going towards his middle school he saw someone standing infront of the gate watching everyone going inside the middle school and writing something in his Tablet. He looked like a devil wearing an aliens mask and he was none other than Niijima Haruo.


    ording to Kenichi''s memory Niijima was a member of the Newspaper Club at Kenichi''s school and has a broad range of expertise, including stealth, lock picking, tinkering, programming, and ckmailing. He retreats from most physical danger; but is also a skilled tactician. If forced to battle, Niijima relies on hit-and-run and psychological tactics to un-nerve his opponents. In the beginning of the series, Niijima is constantly bullying Kenichi and setting him against other bullies; but as Kenichi bes stronger, Niijima constantly relies on Kenichi to protect himself, and persuades the Shinpaku Alliance that Kenichi is their leader and defender. In addition to this, Niijima is jokingly used of extraterrestrial origin through instances of brainwashing, hiding in in sight, eating dangerous chemicals for lunch, swimming with ease, and discovering personal information within seconds of encounter.


    In short he ys a very important role in the series with the skills he had though he was not a good fighter he was a better allie then muscle heads.


    Kenichi went through the school gate and when Niijima saw him his eyes shined he kept everything in bag and ran after Kenichi.


    Niijima:"Hey wait brother wait a minute"


    Kenichi:"Hmm yes"


    Nejiima:"You looked like a martial artist do you go to a dojo by chance"


    Kenichi:"No I have never been to a dojo I only do normal physical exercise to keep my body in shape"


    Niijima:"What but you look like you will be a great fighter if you fight"


    Kenichi:"I don''t train myself so that I can beat up people just for fun, by the way who are you!?"


    Niijima:"Me I am Niijima Haruo, member of the newspaper club there isn''t a information that I can''t collect, you just have to tell me what you want to find and I can do that no matter wether it''s from inside the school or outside school"


    Kenichi:" Oh! mine is Kenichi Shirahama, you said you can find any information even if outside the school"


    Niijima:"Yes I can"


    Kenichi:"Then if you can find the information I need we can be friends how about it"


    Niijima:" Oh what''s the info you need"


    Kenichi:"I want to now if there is any underground arena where even weapons are used during fight and the fighters face and age are not necessary"


    Niijima:"Huh...!! you want to"


    Kenichi:"Yes if you can find about it you cane and find me"


    After this conversation Kenichi started going towards his ss while Niijima stood at his ce after few minutes he started tough.


    Niijima:"Kuhhkuhhkuhh hahahaha fine then if that''s what you want you will get the information within 3 day''s"


    So Niijima started his information gathering and we have to say he did it well as within 3 day''s he was able to gather all the information regarding the potential underground arena where Kenichi''s conditions were met.


    Niijima:"Kenichi I have found the information you needed"


    Kenichi:"oh Let''s hear it then"


    Niijima:"Yes there is only one ce which satisfies your conditions, this underground arena is a heaven for gamblers and most of the time only one of the person walks out and anyone can fight thandere all you have to do is sign your name which doesn''t need to be your own either and you can fight while wearing mask no need to see your face, the fight is always schedule at around 10 PM to 3 PM"


    Kenichi:"Good then today meet me at the school gate at around 9 PM we will go there together"


    Niijima:"You really wanna go there for fight"


    Kenichi:"Yes I need to test my strength, so there is no better ce then the underground arena"


    Niijima:"Ok I will meet you here at 9 till then bye"


    Kenichi:" Bye bye"


    Kenichi and Niijima met each other infront of there middle school and went towards the underground arena while entering that ce Kenichi wore his monkey mask that he has brought after which he along with Niijima went towards the registration centre.


    Kenichi:"Excuse me sir I want to participate in the underground fight"


    The registrar looked at Kenichi and was able to know that the person infront of him was a teenager butt he didn''t knew that the person infront of him have just became a teenager.


    Registrar:"You will have to sign this application form which says that your life or death isn''t our responsibility"


    Kenichi signed the form with the name of


    Sun Wukong and his fight was scheduled as the first match for the night.


    Registrar:"Your match will be in 45 minutes after 15 minutes betting is gonna start you can go and bet on anyone from the betting counter"


    After 15 minutes when the betting started the betting ratio was as such. 1:1 for Kenichi''s opponent Boulder, 1:10 for Sun Wukong a.k.a Kenichi and obviously everyone was betting there money on Boulder as he rarely losses a match and Sun Wukong was a new guy for them.


    Kenichi:"Niijima how much money do you have"


    Niijima:"Huh, I have 1000 yen why"


    Kenichi:"I have 2000 yen go bet 3000 yen on me"


    Niijima:"What Kenichi do you know why your opponent is called Boulder it''s because he crushes his opponents like one and you are saying you are gonna beat him"


    Kenichi:"If you don''t want to bet your money then just bet my money ok"


    Seeing Kenichi''s indifferent attitude Niijima said nothing ran towards the betting counter and betted 3000 yen on Sun Wukong.


    As the match started and both the fighters entered the ring the audience was shocked seeing who Sun Wukong was even though he wore a mask but from his figure most of the people could tell that he was a teenager. Hence those people who had betted on Boulder started cheering.


    Audience 1:"Yo Boulder it''s just a kid just crush him one punch"


    Audience 2:"Ha it''s a match between an elephant and an ant"


    Audience 3:"I am gonna win more it''s good I didn''t betted on him just because of his name"


    Refree was standing between the two fighters and was telling them rules before the fight.


    Refree:"Weapons are allowed, once a contestant has given up or is nocked out or dead the match ends.... Both sides ready then fight!!"


    Boulder ran towards Kenichi the moment refree gave the signal and puched towards his face on the other hand Kenichi did nothing just took a step forward and punched towards his stomach.


    Both punched simultaneously but Kenichi''s punch connected first and Boulder was blown backwards falling 5 metres away....
