Journey of the Dragon

Chapter seventeen : Gill vs Tatsui

 The Togu City Tournament, the second round of matches, has officially started. After listening to the mayor's remarks, the Host immediately announced an opening match that would bring Tatsui and Gill as the opponent. When the two fighters were on the arena to hold the match, at first Tatsui was still hesitant to fight Gill, because she already thought of him as a friend who also had the goal of winning. But when Giil opened his gloves so that they could both fight using their bare hands, Tatsui began to strengthen her heart. She told Gill to put his gloves back on and fight her seriously with all he could. Because as a true fighter, Tatsui doesn't want him to be pitied by her opponent. Outside the match arena, they were indeed friends, but if the two of them were already on the arena, then both of them were fighters, who should not hesitate, must not be afraid, and should not underestimate each other.

 Therefore, after listening to Tatsui's statement, Gill became even more enthusiastic. He didn't need to hesitate or hold back his strength when fighting against Tatsui. Because if he did that, it would be like disrespecting Tatsui's principles. Gill and Tatsui will both give everything they have, and fight like two true fighters, because that's what Tatsui wants. Both of them must strive to achieve their respective goals. That is what is known as competition.

 Right after the referee declared that their fight had started, Gill immediately ran towards Tatsui, and vice versa. The two of them were ready to attack each other, excitedly.

 After their distance was close to each other, the two of them both aimed punches towards their respective opponents' faces, then quickly Tatsui immediately lowered her head to avoid being hit by Gill. While the punch from Tatsui didn't seem meant to hit Gill's face, it turned slightly over Gill's shoulder. Then Tatsui's leg hooked Gill's back leg, so that Gill's body fell backwards. Henceforth, Tatsui was locked up.

 Their bodies both collapsed to the floor, with Gill's shoulders being twisted and pressed by Tatsui's hands, while Gill's legs were being pinched by Tatsui's feet, so that he couldn't go anywhere else. But Gill did not just stay silent, he continued to try to reverse the situation, in various ways so that he could be released from Tatsui's lock, but Tatsui could still control Gill's movements and still locked his body in various ways, so that Gill could not be free from the lock. easy. Beside that, Tatsui also very struggle to avoid Gill’s right hand.

 Gill was really bothered by the fighting techniques that Tatsui had, he was really at a loss for his wits to be able to escape from this quite painful state, where all his bones felt like they were about to be broken. And it certainly can make someone so frustrated that they finally give up.

 But giving up wasn't an option for Gill, he seems to have found a way to get his body out of Tatsui's lock. Namely by hitting his right hand on the ground, as hard as possible, until the surface of the floor was crushed, then Gill and Tatsui's bodies were slammed up together, due to the thrust of the hard impact.

This succeeded in making Tatsui release the lock from Gill's body, until the two of them were thrown at large distances from each other. Then when Gill was just about to stand back up to see the opponent he was facing, it turned out that without further ado, Tatsui had run towards him, with a distance that was getting closer.

 Gill who looked shocked, and did not have time to dodge, immediately threw another punch at Tatsui. But quickly, Tatsui jumped over the top of Gill's body, to avoid the deadly blow from Gill's right hand, then Tatsui's two legs flanked Gill's head, to then she turned so that Gill's body slammed hard enough to the floor surface beside him.

 After that, when Gill was still face down while raising his head. Tatsui landed another attack again, in the form of a precise kick hitting Gill's face, until Gill bounced and rolled towards the edge of the arena. Everyone felt such high tension in the fight between Gill and Tatsui. It seemed that Tatsui did not want to give Gill the opportunity to launch an attacks against her, therefore, quickly and as much as possible Tatsui continued to launch attacks on Gill.

 This was proven. When Gill was just getting back up, suddenly Tatsui's two feet landed hard on his chest. So that Gill's body fell backwards again. Gill was completely beaten up by Tatsui, he kept getting hit without being given the chance to act and dodge the opponent's attacks.

 “He has taken countless hits from that lady, the wounds on his body are countless, plus, after having his head slammed with the leg that was wrapped around his neck earlier. His neck should have broken immediately, but he was still able to move freely. His endurance is indeed extraordinary, I think it takes more than that to defeat the man named Gill. " Said Master Big Hit, who suddenly sat beside Dragon, without Dragon noticing. So that Dragon felt both shocked and confused, after listening to the words spoken by the Master Big hit.

 "Since when was he there?" Melinda asked Dragon.

 "I do not know, suddenly he was beside me and talking to me." Whispered Dragon to Melinda.

 "Are those two of them your friends?" Asked the Master Big hit to Dragon.

 "Yeah ... You could say that." Answered Dragon, who felt awkward because he didn't really known the Master well.

 "They are great fighters ... But it seems, the remaining time for that lady, has run out." Said Master Big hit.

 "What do you mean?" Dragon asked in confusion.

 Gill seemed to be struggling to get back up, then Tatsui immediately approached him again to land a kick in the face of Gill, so that Gill could really fall unconscious. But this time it was different from before, a kick from Tatsui was suddenly able to be blocked by Gill with one hand only, without even seeing the direction the kick was coming from, Gill managed to grab and grip Tatsui's leg tightly.

 Tatsui was a little surprised when her leg was in Gill's grip, then Gill began to speak, with a face that already looked battered. “You really don't give me a chance, even to breathe. That's great, but now it's my turn to attack ... So Get ready. " Gill said to Tatsui.

 Then without saying much, Tatsui immediately jumped up, and landed a kick in Gill's face, using his other leg. Until Gill fell backwards.

 "You shouldn't talk too much ... Focus on the fight!" Shouted Tatsui.

 "OK." Gill said as he tried to get back up.

 Then after saying those words, Gill immediately slammed his hands on the floor hard, so that his body was slammed towards Tatsui who was in front of him. Then Gill threw a punch at his opponent. But quickly, Tatsui immediately jumped to the side so that she would not be hit by the deadly blow from Gill's right hand which was directed at her.

 Tatsui immediately turned and looked back to face Gill again, but it turned out that Gill's fist was in front of her face. So it was impossible for her to be able to avoid the blow, so when she saw that, Tatsui quickly protected her face by covering it with her arms that were crossed. In order to withstand the immense impact of that blow. At that instant, Tatsui's body was immediately pushed and bounced far enough back, that it was near the edge of the arena. Dragon was very surprised when he saw that, because just one hit from Gill could have fatal consequences for Tatsui's body.

 Meanwhile, Tatsui was trying to get back up while teetering, with both arms hanging down and completely immovable, having endured a blow from Gill. But the attacks from Gill did not stop there. Gill was seen running towards Tatsui quickly to return another punch against his opponent.

 Tatsui began to feel frightened after seeing Gill's facial expression, which looked completely different from before. But immediately, Tatsui realized herself that the two of them had agreed to give everything they had in this battle. Therefore Tatsui must try even harder, to keep attacking Gill and bringing him down. Tatsui looks ready to face Gill's attack.

 After Gill's distance was getting closer to her, Tatsui also immediately ran, then jumped while flipping, and made Gill's shoulder as a support so that she could move behind Gill's body, after that she could avoid and survive Gill's punch attack.

 After Tatsui landed back on the floor, Gill immediately turned around while taking out the sharp weapon behind his waist. A sword that resembled a butcher knife, which looked very sturdy and shiny. Gill intends to use these weapons to attack Tatsui.

 "H butcher's sword." Gill said briefly.

 Immediately after that, Gill quickly threw the sword at Tatsui with all his strength, so that the sword shot away quickly, but instead of going to Tatsui's body, it slid onto the floor where Tatsui was standing.

And immediately, after Gill's sword hit the floor below Tatsui, the floor becomes shattered and flew upwards, causing Tatsui's body to also be thrown into the air, along with the scattered floor debris. Then, while Tatsui's body was in the air, Gill immediately jumped up close to Tatsui's body, to deliver a punch against his opponent.

 When the two of them were up in the air, Tatsui, who was already helpless, couldn't help but have to endure the blow that Gill would give. Tatsui saw Gill who was already clenching his fists in front of him. A fist that was certain to be smashed against her body and she could no longer avoid it, therefore Tatsui would only accept it with resignation. Because at that time, his legs and hands were already difficult to move.

 Then Tatsui closed her eyes. And after seeing Tatsui's closed eyes, Gill immediately changed his fist into a palm. Then Gill immediately landed his palm on Tatsui's body, so that Tatsui's body was pushed down, and fell then hit the ground quite hard. although not to the point of destroying the floor.

 The thing that was experienced by Tatsui, felt the same as falling from the roof of a two-story house. Then a few moments later, Gill also landed back down. After all thee thing is settled, he just stood there and remained silent without doing anything, while continuing to watch Tatsui's body which had been lying unconscious on the floor. The referee who saw this, immediately declared Gill as the winner, because Tatsui could no longer fight back.

 After watching the match between Tatsui and Gill, which was filled with tension, the audience immediately cheered for the victory that had been achieved by Gill. The host invited the audience to congratulate Gill, so that the atmosphere there became so festive.

 As for Dragon, he looked worried about Tatsui, who had just been defeated by Gill. Tatsui was immediately taken by the medical wizards to the treatment room. Then without saying much, Dragon also immediately got up from the chair where he was sitting, to go to the treatment room so he could see Tatsui's condition. While the Master Big Hit who was sitting beside him, just kept quiet letting Dragon go where he wanted, because the one that caught the Master's attention was Gill.

 Meanwhile, Gill was seen still on the arena. He picked up his H butcher sword which was still stuck on the ground, which had fallen apart. He pulled it, then slipped it back into the scabbard behind his waist. After that the medical wizards immediately approached Gill to take him to the treatment room.

 The battle between Gill and Tatsui, has ended. With Gill coming out as the winner, after that the Tournament was paused for 15 minutes, to repair the arena which had been destroyed by the battle just now, the task of repairing the arena was the responsibility of the protective wizards. So the Host invited the spectators who wanted to go to the toilet or buy food, to make the most of that time, and return to their seats when the next fight would start again.
