"Don't let what the idiot's say affect you! Though I doubt it would but still as a martial artist let your skills talk for you instead of your mouth." Kenichi said after which he walked back to his booth.
Rachel and Ethan also walked back to their booth but she didn't forgot to scold his brother for not standing up for her like Kenichi Shirahama did.
"And we will go to the next and final battle of the first round! A team just as favored as Team Gemini! Please welcome .... the Pankration team! They are the fighters chosen and raised by Fortuna himself! Fighting them is a Karate Team called Absolute Dojo." the announcer stated.
"We are the best Karate users in the world! Our Karate is absolute" declared the captain of the Karate team,"Karate users like Sakaki Shio and Akira Hongo are mere pebble compared to us! All they use are tricks and bribery!"
"Haaah?" growled Sakaki eager to punch these brats.
"Pfft... hahahaha..... that's a nice one" said Kenichi while trying to hold his laughter but couldn't seeing which Sakaki regained in his composure and laughed it out like his disciple.
But Sho didn't take it well, "Who are you calling a fake?" he shouted in anger, "Sensei would kick your ass with just a pinky finger!"
He had to be restrained by Boris while Trawit and Ethan restrained Hayami and Seto.
It was five on five match, but when the match started, spartacus and the others huddled up in the middle while the others surrounded them. None of the karate members were sure what to do until....
"Ha, leave this to me" bragged the captain as he approached Spartacus, "I can take him out with just one tap."The captain punched towards spartacus oly for the guy to block his attack after which Spartacus slammed him on to the ground before wailing on him. The others tried to help but soon found out that they were completely outmatched in a brutal fashion as no matter their kick or punches were able to penetrate the defense the pankration team. They were getting brutally slammed onto the ground and continuously punched till they were all knocked out cold.
"Those brats don't know how to really fight against someone and neither they have any understanding of Ki" Diego stated while shaking his head.
"Such a waste " agreed Fortuna, "However, it allows my children's skills to broadcasted at least."
The match was soon called naming Pankration team as the winner. As spartacus and the others began to leave the arena, he glanced towards Kenichi and Niijima who merely nodded their heads after which they went back to their room to rest before preparing on what was to come.

After a short break everyone was back as the quarter-final was getting started.
"Exciting isn't it?" yelled out the announcer as the ring began to shift once more.
"And now we shall proceed to the second round, the quarter-finals" announced the announcer, "First up will be Ryozanpaku vs. the Three headed Dragon! on one hand, we have the three biggest Chinese Martial arts. However on the other hand we have a team that managed to defeat a master, and that too without any problems! Such an exciting match up that's sure to come!"
"You guys can go this time and as I promised I won't be entering in this round" Kenichi stated.
"Really! You won't?" asked the surprise Niijima
"Yeah, I trust Miu and Renka and I know that they won't have any problem while dealing with those three" replied Kenichi
"Haha.... yes don't worry Miu and I will beat them to the ground" Renka said
"Umm.... don't worry Kenichi-kun we will win this round" Miu promised then hugged her mother after which she and Renka marched towards the stage.
Renka was actually quite happy as she knew that if Kenichi was here even if he didn't help in their fight their opponent would be scared after all he was a Master class fighter. Kaku on the other hand
was glaring at Renka and seemed to be especially thirsty for her blood.
"oh! What is this looks like the star of previous round Kenichi Shirahama will not be participating in this match what could be the reason." the announcer stated.
"Hmm? Why didn't Shirahama came as well?" Diego mused as well.
Though Fortuna on his side was smiling as he now knew that Kenichi was showing his sincerity.
"Why don't you ask from him personally? Maybe he would give you an answer" Fortuna said.
"That's not bad! After all him not participating won't help with the promise I made to the audience" Diego said and picked up his Mic and shouted "Kenichi Shirahama what is the reason of you not participating let me remind you if those two girls lose them Ryozanpaku will be out of the tournament."
"Well, I am just showing my sincerity by being true on my words and secondly these guys aren't worth my time the girls can easily take care of them" replied Kenichi
This answer of Kenichi made three people happy as they smiled while the other three were angry scowling at him.
The smiling people were Renka, Miu and Fortuna each of whom thought that Kenichi was showing his sincerity towards them while the angry ones were the three chinese martial arts team members who were pissed when Kenichi said that they weren't worth his time.
"Hahaha.... that's a nice one, then let me explain the rules. It's a battle royal! Meaning unfortunately for Ryozanpaku due to their own decision it would be 2v3" Diego said
"hmnp we can take them on" Renka stated as she looked Miu.
Miu nodded her head as the two of them entered the ring.
"Tai chi clan Kaku Shin Ten!"
"Bagua Clan Chou Yin Lin!"
"Shin Yi Clan Yo Tekai!"
The three introduced themselves and their styles while charging towards Renka and Miu who were ready to face the trio. Neither Renka nor Miu had gotten any chance to go all out till now and they were hoping that these three in front of them will force them to use some of their trump cards.
"Ma Renka, daughter of the Phoenix Alliance!"
"Miu Furiniji, daughter of Furiniji Clan!"
