Knighthawk forced a laugh out of his mouth when he asked Principal Sai Tama the question.
In his mind, he hoped that the principal would change his mind.
But upon seeing the mischievous grin that the principal wore. No matter what he did, he was going to oversee the match no matter what.
The crowd held their breaths as Principal Sai Tama finally raised his hand. It was time to start the match.
"START!"
Instead of charging forward, Satoshi stepped backward and assumed a fighting stance.
But Knighthawk was prepared for the match. While he banned the usage of tamed beasts, he never banned the use of items.
And Knighthawk never goes out of his house without bringing all his 'babies' with him.
As soon as Satoshi stepped back, Knighthawk pulled out a lasso from his pocket and whipped it right at Satoshi, catching him off-guard and constricting both Satoshi's legs with the lasso rope.
Satoshi fell on the ground with a thud, not knowing what hit him. When he looked down, he noticed that his legs were tied up.
"What on— that's cheating!" He exclaimed, but Knighthawk paid him no mind.
Inwardly, Knighthawk was laughing, grabbing a couple of shurikens from his pocket and consecutively firing them off at Satoshi's body.
Since Knighthawk didn't pull him, Satoshi brought his legs up and propelled himself forward, using his momentum to hoist himself up without using his arms.
With his quick reflexes, he deflected all the shurikens, bare-handed. He then didn't waste any time grabbing the rope that tied him up.
In the contest of strength, Satoshi proved to be superior to Knighthawk. Not only did he manage to stand up while his legs were tied up, he also tugged at the lasso and was able to get it from Knighthawk.
"I have more where those came from," Knighthawk said as he pulled out two sword-like items from his pockets.
Satoshi immediately recognized what those items were. While they may look foreign to most audiences, he was very familiar with them.
Since he was young, he had been a big fan of superheroes with superpowers. And of course, Knighthawk instantly caught his attention since he was powerless yet he was able to become a superhero.
That's why Satoshi knew what he was wielding at the moment.
And on a side note, he was hit with those things before. That's why he knew that even only one of those would pack quite a punch.
They were underground-issued tasers, each packing a hundred million volts in one tase.
Satoshi knew that one hit from those bad boys would send him straight to dreamland.
"You're really not pulling your punches on a student, are you?" Satoshi clenched his teeth.
Knighthawk's lips curved upward. "Of course, my pride is on the line here." He responded.
Since Satoshi had a pool of knowledge about Knighthawk, he knew that he was proficient in swordsmanship as well.
That's why when he assumed a fighting stance with those tasers, his body screamed of panic.
Nevertheless, he didn't back down. To top it all off, he even charged at Knighthawk, putting up a false bravado that he wasn't afraid of his tasers.
"What the-" Knighthawk grunted, totally caught off-guard since no one had attacked him when they heard the crackle of electricity coming from the tasers.
It was truly an unconventional fight in a world of superheroes. A fight between defense items and a powerless individual using the fruits of his physical training. Nevertheless, it was pretty entertaining, so the audience couldn't complain.
Knighthawk dug his sole and stepped forward, using all the weight of his body to swing his tasers around. He swung them in an x-shape, confident that one of them would at least hit Satoshi since he was charging at him without defending himself.
As soon as he was within arm's reach, Satoshi dove forward, spinning in mid-air while he did a screwdriver vault.
The x-attack missed its mark, and Satoshi was able to pierce through Knighthawk's stance. He then grabbed Knighthawk by the collar, punching him on the jaw twice before backing away.
Satoshi knew just how powerful Knighthawk was. If he were to compare himself to him, he could confidently say that Knighthawk is much better than him.
Sure, Satoshi had the skills, but Knighthawk had the experience as a professional superhero.
That's why he didn't hold back with any of his punches. Each punch to the jaw was so explosive that it almost broke Knighthawk's neck. Fortunately, Knighthawk instinctively clenched his neck before the punch connected.
Thanks to his experience, it was second nature in his body to react to life-threatening attacks. If he didn't clench his neck, it would have broken in an instant. An instant loss.
Knighthawk's nose bled, and he spat out blood from his mouth. However, his adrenaline gave him the push to stand up and continue fighting. There was no way he'd stay down, not when thousands if not millions of people are watching him.
Satoshi's unpredictable attack certainly caught him off guard, but he won't let it happen the second time. With renewed determination, he put his hands up, still wielding the two tasers he had.
As for Satoshi, he wielded the lasso he acquired from Knighthawk. This was going to be his main weapon, seeing that he didn't bring one into the fight.
In a split second, Satoshi whipped the lasso, knocking one of the tasers on Knighthawk's hand. Using the momentum of the lasso, he continued swinging it around, creating unpredictable whips in the air as he slowly approached Knighthawk.
A grin appeared on Knighthawk's face. He had never seen anyone use the whip like that, and it opened his eyes to new fighting styles. In any case, he couldn't afford to lose, especially when that someone uses his specialty weapon.
With his one and only taser in hand, he started parrying Satoshi's whips. Every time he tried to retrieve the other taser, Satoshi would whip his hand. It was annoying, but Knighthawk commended its effectiveness.
"This is bad..." Knighthawk muttered to himself.
This time, he decided to use his last resort. There was no way he'd win if he let things continue like this, after all.
