Chapter 261: YOMI''s reaction
"Are you telling us that Ryozanpaku''s disciple is already capable of utilizing Ki that only masters are capable of?" asked Senzui
"Well yeah" modded Diego, "I swear by myughing fist that he is capable of using such Ki quite proficiently. In fact, some of us could use a few pointers from him. I was really surprised over his control but I have to say it was really good and was not lie something he recently started using"
Many twitched in indignation at that suggestion but kept quite.
"How is this possible?" asked Kushinada, "Is it possible that this Kenichi Shirahama is not of the age he says he is? Could his information be false to lure us into a false sense of security?"
Kushinada didn''t think Ryozanpaku would do such thing, of course, but it was something to consider and more believable than a teenager using Ki no Shouka and that too proficiently as well. She believed that Kenichi looked young but was actually an adult in histe twenties just like her who looked a woman in her twenties but was around the same age as Hayato Furuniji.
"Now Now age may be a factor but don''t forget that there have been instances where some young people became masters at a young age. One example of such would be Mayu and Tanaka from Tenchi Mushin Ryu, who ascended to the Master ss at the tender age of 18, then there is Rukia Busujima of the Busujima sword style dojo. Even though she is a sword user we can''t neglect the fact that she entered the Master ss at the age of 17 andst I heard she was just half step away from ascending the Grand-master ss when she is only 22 years old now." criticized Ogata
"First! Rukia Busujima is already a Grandmaster now. I saw her on the Fortuna Ind. She was exuding ki of Grandmaster level when she was cutting down tanks during the raid" stated Diego then continued, "Second Don''t insult me. I always double-check to make sure my contestants are of legal age. I check my contestants multiple times to make sure my information is correct."
''And yet there were three masters in the tournament'' thought the YOMI members, though none had the guts to voice their thought. As even though Diego may seem the most casual Master off all the other fists in YAMI everyone knows not to make him angry as they all have heard about the Angry Fist Diego.
"After he showed that ability of his, I had my team triple check to make sure that Shirahama wasn''t a hidden master who was over 20. All the paperwork trails everything leads up to the fact that Kenichi Shirahama is indeed only a 17 years old kid born on 12th October 1985. The documentation of his birth on that specific date, taken by his father was also there. I followed up the family tree from both sides of the family and found no notable names rting to martial arts at all. And I have to say that even though his body hasn''t hit the prime but he is already a Master ss Martial artist even if only a low ss, it shows how much effort he has been putting on his body before he even entered the Ryozanpaku." Diego stated.
"What??"" eximed the Masters including Ogata and Jenazad in shock.
"Yeah I had the same reaction," Diego said with a smile.
"When? How? Last I check he was still in the expert category?" asked Ogata
"He fought against a Weapon user Master ss fighter and won all on his own with apletely new style of his own" Diego stated.
"A new style?" asked Kushinada in surprise voicing the question that was in the mind of everyone.
"Yes, a style focused on the strength and agility of the body. He uses his strength to break his opponent''s bones and his incredible agility to dodge attacks with ease. I would say it''s derived from Muay Thai and Karate with more acrobats added to it." Diego exined the new style to the masters.
"Hmm... a prodigy- no a prodigy thates in 1000 years then" hypothesized Alexander
"I would add another zero there! Entering Master ss at the age of 17 isn''t impossible as we know some of them as well but with the great ki control and self-made martial arts style! I would say a prodigy thates in every 10000 years." mused Cyril
"Indeed" nodded Ogata, "As you all know that my disciple Ryuto used the move that I recently created while fighting against the Ryozanpaku''s disciple. The bacsh of the technique if not properly contained and used involves a ravaged Kiwork and potential permanent damages to the body, including permanent paralysis of legs. However, despite misusing this technique, Kenichi was able to not only defeat but at the same time, bnce his Kiwork so as to mitigate the damage with his self created martial arts style. Such talent all going to waste because of his foolish belief in Katsujinken."
"He is certainly been dyed in white" crackled Jenazad as he remembered how Kenichi had tried to save his disciple from him when the said disciple was trying to kill him. "I would really love to dye him in red if given the chance."
Hongo frowned at the statement but said nothing.
"So what should we do then?" asked Agaard, "Since he is already into the Master ss then we can say that he has passed the phase of being a disciple do even if we sent a master ss fighter to deal with him then it won''t be wrong but-"
No Khuru!" Tirawit for the second time interrupted his Master, "Please don''t send a master after Kenichi Shirahama. It would be a big stain to us if we couldn''t defeat an enemy of our age and sent a master just because we weren''t capable enough. I promise to fully focus on my training just give your disciple a chance"
"Yes, Master! All of us have given our challenge token to Kenichi Shirahama and we want to retrieve it from him by our own hands. I won''tin about the excessive training, on the contrary, I would like you to up my training so that I could deal with Kenichi Shirahama"
