Chapter 457 Satoshi Versus Jonathan



Satoshi was exhausted to the teeth, but he pressed on. Next, he'd go head to head with Jonathan who was a beast tamer just like him. Then again, Jonathan's got another superpower which allowed him to teleport everywhere. He also got the superpower to nullify any supeprower but Satoshi won't be using his superpower in the first place.

There was no need for Jonathan to use his superpower so he'd be relying on his teleportation instead.

Before the match started, Satoshi summone Sera to replenish his energy reserve. He felt tempted to command Sera to buff him up but he didn't do it. He wanted to fight fair and square even though the rules were unfair for him.

At this point, Knighthawk was getting rather nervous since Satoshi won three matches in a row. If he were to win the fight against Jonathan, then his confidence would dwindle even more, and he might even embarrass himself in front of the entire crowd.

He wasn't expecting Satoshi to challenge him so blatantly like that. And since he put him in such a disadvantageous position, he couldn't say no to his challenge. Even if he did, the audience won't allow it.

Jonathan was prepared for his match, and he walked forward. The rest of the class wished him all the best even though they were suppposed to be doing the opposite. Obviously, he was at an advantage, but they knew that Satoshi could beat him up.

It even flew right past their minds that Jonathan was well-versed in close combat as well. He may not be on par with Satoshi, but he could hold himself up in a physical fight.

Furthermore, he could use his superpower and Satoshi couldn't.

Knighthawk stepped forward to announce the commencement of the match. After this, he'll have a match with Satoshi. Just the mere thought brought chills up and down his spine.

"Don't hold back, Satoshi. I won't hold back either." Jonathan said the most cliche thing to say at the start of the match.

"Sure, I won't hold back." Satoshi went to his position and assumed a fighting stance.

Before Knighthawk could give his signal, Jonathan also assumed a fighting stance.

"Ready? Fight!"

Satoshi and Jonathan charged at each other as soon as the signal was given. Guarding his head with his right hand, Satoshi unleashed a hook with his left.

Without hesitation, Jonathan also struck with his left hand. He was expecting Satoshi to launch a hook so he carefully guarded his head with it.

However, it was just a fake, Satoshi was actually aiming for a kick on the shin. He only used his left hand as a decoy so Jonathan won't see his kick.

Then again, Jonathan was thinking the same thing, and the their kicks connected with each other, leaving them surprised.

"You're pretty good." Satoshi complimented Jonathan before he struck a punch at his solar plexus.

Jonathan didn't guard the punch with his hand. Instead, he lifted his leg and blocked the punch with his knee. Not only did it make his hands free, it also damaged Satoshi a little since his punch connected with his hardened knee...

... Or so that's what Jonathan thought.

When the punch connected, he decided to strike a one-two punch at Satoshi's face since it didn't have a hand guard. But before his punch connected, Jonathan felt himself falling. His knees buckled when Satoshi punched them, and he couldn't feel his legs.

As it turned out, he underestimated Satoshi's strength. His knees were actually weaker than Satoshi's fists.

The numbness was temporary, so Jonathan was up on his feet in a second. Satoshi was merciful enough to give him a breather when he stood up, and it humiliated him a bit.

Then again, he couldn't blame Satoshi for doing it. If it were him in his shoes, he'd have done the same thing.

After all, the two of them were looking forward to a good match, and they wouldn't attack the other party if they fell.

Since the tactic didn't work, Jonathan changed his fighting style a little bit. This time, he crouched low before charging at Satoshi.

Returning his sentiment, Satoshi also crouched low, and two of them engaged in combat with unusual fighting styles.

Jonathan was the first one to attack, putting his hands down as support before unleashing two low roundhouse kicks.

The kicks caught Satoshi off guard, and he took a step back. On the second kick, he stomped his feet, aiming at Jonathan's ankle.

Fortunately, Jonathan's reaction time was fast enough and he managed to pull away before the kick connected. While he safely avoided the attack, it did give Satoshi a lot of openings since Jonathan's circular momentum was cut off.

Before Jonathan could revert to his standing form, Satoshi jumped on top of him, pinning one of his shoulder to the ground before punching him on the jaw.

"Gahk~!" Jonathan exclaimed.

Out of desperation, he aimed at the only opening that Satoshi had.

His balls.

While Satoshi punched him a second time on the jaw, he brought his knees straight at Satoshi's balls.

Crack!

The attack connected, but it wasn't Satoshi who was injured.

After all, before the knee attack connected, Satoshi shifted his body to the right, and Jonathan's knee hit his thigh instead.

"Well played, but this ends here." Satoshi called out, delivering another punch.

A smile appeared on Jonathan's face, this was the moment he was waiting for.

While Satoshi got too focused on their physical attack, Jonathan assumed that he would completely forget about his superpower. Now that Satoshi had a modicum of confidence in his victory, he decided to use his superpower.

Jonathan used the same attack, kneeing Satoshi on his balls.

But before the attack could hit, Jonathan teleported his knee at Satoshi's jaws.

"Got you." Jonathan mouthed just when Satoshi was about to punch him.

Satoshi's punch went through, and Jonathan felt it on his jaw. His knees also felt something... but it wasn't Satoshi's face.

To his surprise, Satoshi caught his knee with his free hand. And he was smiling.

"You're pretty good," Satoshi repeated, he was having a field day fighting with Jonathan.
