Martial Arts System-Chapter 413 - Advi
The night dawned.
The door to Ichiro's room opened, and cheerful Azura appeared with her nails polished.
She was about to start undressing, but then she saw a dark-clothed figure in the room.
She was about to scream at first, but then she noticed that the one wearing the dark clothes was Ichiro!
''What are you wearing?'' Azura scanned him from head to toe.
''I will go out for a moment.'' Ichiro replied and fixed his collar, ''I will return next morning.''
''Where are you going?'' She asked with visible worry on her face and was about to ask if she could come with him.
But, Ichiro managed to speak first, ''Something I have to do by myself. Nothing dangerous.''
''Oh.'' Azura nodded thoughtfully and watched as Ichiro opened his notebook and wrote something down.
She sat down on the bed and touched the soft texture of the blanket, which was still warm from the last night.
''It's dangerous. Isn't it?'' She asked while grabbing the blanket into her fist.
Ichiro didn't answer; instead of finished writing and closed the notebook.
''It's nothing compared to the things I have faced.'' He grabbed Azura's cheek and planted a tiny peck on it.
''They are the ones that are in danger…'' He whispered and opened the window.
Azura watched as her boyfriend leaped out of the window and disappeared into the shadows.
…
*SWOOSH*
A shadowy figure leaped through dozen buildings.
''Whew…'' Ichiro came to a halt.
He turned his body halfway and looked back to where he came from.
The Kurogami Residence was barely noticeable.
Below the building he was standing on top of, citizens walked back to their homes from work, and the younger generation had already retreated to their warm houses.
The nighttime of Irio was usually when criminals roam freely, especially Underworld members.
No one was aware of it yet, except Marshall and his subordinates, but the Underworld members had left Irio; only a few lower ranked members were left, who had their families in Irio, but they dropped out from the criminal's act and became lawful citizens.
Now, only small-time thugs were in Irio, who wasn't a danger to anyone.
Even an average Police Officer has enough battle prowess to defeat them.
Ichiro's body became illusionary, and he disappeared from the roof.
The citizens covered their faces after a sudden blast of the wind, which lasted for several seconds.
Jumping across the air made Ichiro feel free.
The soft wind blew against his face, making his hair flutter and clothes sway.
After almost flying across the sky, he landed on top of another building, but once again, he came to a stop.
He sat down on the roof and looked in the distance, where a school was located.
Irio's Middle School.
''It hasn't changed one bit.'' He thought aloud, but suddenly, his sight caught something that was different.
A smile appeared on his face, ''What the hell?''
On top of the sign that said Irio's Middle School.
There was something else as well.
[Birthplace of Legend of Kurogami Ichiro - For his honor]
''I am honored.'' Ichiro stood up and patted the dust from his butt, ''This is an honor I never received in my previous life.''
From the school gates, tired-looking teachers left after finishing their work.
But, before leaving, they glanced at the sign, and their tired face had a slight smiles.
After they left, another one left the school's gates.
Ichiro widened his eyes in surprise.
It was Head Coach of the Martial Arts Club, previously Club Advisor.
''Advi…'' Ichiro murmured. It was the nickname they gave him after they couldn't find his real name that was a secret for everyone.
Advi, the Head Coach of Martial Arts Club, walked towards his car while going over his pockets.
Soon, he grabbed something sharp, which he thought were his keys.
He took his keys from the pocket and was about to insert them in the keyhole, but from the reflection of the car window, he saw a dark-clothed figure standing behind him.
''Gulp.'' He gulped and clenched his left fist.
The reflection in the window glanced at the fist, and that was precisely what he waited for.
Out of nowhere, Advi sent an elbow strike behind him!
He used the clenched fist as a distraction and sent an attack that caught the shadowy figure off guard.
However, the dark-clothed figure grabbed the elbow effortlessly without any sign of struggle.
'He is strong!' Advi thought with a shocked gaze.
His leg muscles twitched, and he threw a sudden back-kick towards the person, who he thought was a robber.
*Slap*
The dark-clothed figure blocked the sudden kick with his forearm, but Advi wasn't done and sent a sudden straight hook towards the dark-clothed figure's jaw.
The dark-clothed figure pulled his back and watched as the punch brushed past his nose.
Advi retreated a meter away and went into a boxing stance, ''You are strong, but don't think I will allow you to rob me!''
''Haha.'' Suddenly, the dark-clothed figure started laughing.
It wasn't a mocking kind of laughter, but instead very friendly.
Advi frowned, and once the dark-clothed figure stepped out from the shadows and his features became clear, his eyes widened in shock.
''Ichiro?'' He lowered his raised fists, making his startled look clear.
''Club Advisor.'' Ichiro nodded at him and patted his stiff shoulders, ''You have become stronger?''
''Heh…'' Advi awkwardly chuckled and scratched the back of his head, ''I didn't expect to see you.''
Ichiro shrugged, ''I was on nearby and happened to see you.''
''I see.'' Advi nodded and looked at his weird outfit, ''Why are you wearing that? I thought you were about to rob me.''
''All my other clothes were in a washing machine, leaving me only with these.'' He cooked up a quick lie and slowly started walking away in the streets.
''It was nice meeting you.'' He waved his hand and slowly disappeared into the shadows.
Advi touched his chest and felt his beating heart, ''Whew… You should understand your status more… I almost got a heart attack.''
He grabbed his dropped keys from the ground and opened his car's doors.
Before entering the car, he looked again towards the direction where Ichiro had disappeared to.
