Chapter 8: Iwami industries new fighter
Togo tomari is known as one of the most ruthless businesswomen on the planet. She in particular has sharp teeth, long greasy black hair, an hour glass figure and a bad temperament. She's standing in their office in the headquarters in a particularly bad mood. Her most hated person "kurayoshi rino" used her new fighter to trash hers. The kengan tournament is coming up so she needs a better stronger fighter.
At first she considered muteba as he has worked for their company before and has attained excellent results. But going over the scenarios in her head over the competition she's not sure if he can handle it. He's standing in the corner smiling away with a cocktail in hand acting as her bodyguard. This tournament is her chance to seize massive amounts of power so her choice in this is paramount. The other old fogeys in her company are blathering about candidates but they don't understand the monsters that fight here.
As she was about to scream someone's head off her secretary alerted her that two people have entered the building and are on their way here. A new scowl adorned her face wondering what idiot would possibly bother them right now. The ironwood door was opened slowly and the people that walked in made her eyes bulge. She thought that only that whore rino could make her heart scitter but these two are also making her blush.
Muteba in the corner halts in his usual jovial attitude as he checks these two people. A mild sweat forms on them as he checks their bodies. The woman is terrifying as all her muscles are changed to something he's never felt before and her heart is different like it's mutated. The young man next to her is also a different story. His entire body is sculpted to fight, the callouses on his hands and knuckles reveal years of fighting experience. Muteba can feel a glimpse of his aura leak every now and then. He had more combat experience than himself which is shocking as he can tell this man is a little over the age of 18.
"Greetings miss tomari, my name is Nico robin and this is my husband Logan lee. We heard your in the market for a fighter and my husband can handle it easily." The sexy woman stated as she swayed her hips dressed in a purple ankle pantsuit that draws the eye to her curves. The way is rolls off her slim waist and bulges on her slightly exposed cleavage made all the old men in the rooms blood pressure rise.
Togo was jealous for a split second that this woman gets a nice piece off ass for a husband when she herself is single. She checked Logan up and down as he stood there casually glancing out the window. "What makes you think I don't have a fighter" she snarled back at them. "Fufufu it's no secret you lost to miss kurayoshi recently so you'd definitely be looking to one up her little boy toy assassin". This pissed her off more after hearing that woman's name "and you think a brat like him could handle mikazuki in a brawl".
Logan finally zoned into the question when he gazed at her which made her body jolt "wanna find out?" Was all he asked. More rage bubbles in her as she felt scared and aroused at him for a second. "FINE! I'll give you a shot. If you beat the current candidate you get the position. If not well, we'll work something out" she said grinning showing her shark like teeth.
They where all escorted down to an underground floor that functions as a training room for several of the companies fighters and staff. Togo likes her people in shape. Muteba was standing in nothing but a speedo in an open stance with a grin on his face. That was until Logan entered the ring, he took off his shirt and black T-shirt exposing his physique so everyone caught a glimpse at his body. Little scars decorated it like cracks on an Ancient Greek sculpture while the dazzling greenish blue scales shimmered as he readied to fight.
After he stepped into the ring muteba dropped his smirk and grew on edge. His lack of sight means he perceives things differently. He's had many fights so he can measure a person and feel their aura. Logan's is terrifying to him; from what muteba can tell he's facing a Minotaur covered in head to toe with destructive muscles with arms that are covered in scales like they are snakes that will curl around his body and strangle it. He sees clawed feet that drill into the ground so that it'll never loose its balance and tusks from the minotaurs mouth that will chomp a piece out of his body.
He assumed a better stance immediately realising he might die if he treats this like a usual job. Togo notices the difference in muteba and can't help but be alarmed. She can feel that he's taking this much more seriously than any of the jobs he's done for her in the past meaning that the boy in front of her is a danger to him. Muteba asks " Logan-san? Where did you learn to fight?" He felt he needed to know the environment that produced this monsters.
Logan with his hands in his pockets replied "Seoul, South Korea in high school. Got into a lot of brawls which sharpened me up abit". Muteba just made a mental note to never go to Korea again if this is what the school system there produces. The old men in the room who were proud japanese citizens frowned when they heard he was Korean. The two countries have a fair amount of beef with each other.
Togo turned to robin "you Korean too?" Which made the males turn towards her. If she was then her image in their minds might diminish a little. "Fufufu no I'm from a place called ohara that's near Cuba. We met while I was studying abroad. It was very romantic~". She said making Logan sweat drop.
Jeez woman how good an actor are you, now I feel like I have to take her out after this. The signal for the fight began so muteba chose to take the initiative and aim for an eye gouge. Most fighters aren't prepared for a loss of the senses. What he didn't expect was that even with the muscles and weight on Logan he's inhumanely fast. Muteba is slightly larger than him and Logan had experience dealing with bigger fighters.
Muteba"s arm fired his hand towards where Logan's eyes should have been but he felt he vanished for a second. He felt a heavy this from his lower half and he fell down from a schoolyard tackle. It reminded him of a rugby tackle as it sweeped his legs. Logan began to curl around one of legs so he could snap it so muteba sprung his upper body up to strike his nose. Logan was waiting for it as he released his firming grip to use the exposed arm to go for a grapple of muteba's head.
As he hooked on and begun to squeeze the audience Logan instantly put muteba on the ground and get him in a reverse head lock. It looked like Logan may snap his neck was what they thought as they were amazed at his grappling skills. Togo identified it as wrestling and jiujitsu and began to grin. That takedown speed and vice like grip would crush mikazuki rei if he was caught.
Muteba felt like he heard the sound of a snake hissing so he straightened one of his fingers. If he was gonna win he'd have to use one of his moves. The heart jab, this move let's him slip through the muscles and viscera while going under the targets rib cage to reach their heart. He was having trouble breathing but the second he aimed the technique he felt his lungs able to breathe freely for a second. Being released from that grip made him feel like he just inhaled from the top of a mountain, the fresh air permeated through him.
The moment he breathed in though he felt a weight on his back and throat be slammed shut as Logan took him from a sitting headlock from behind. The crushing force on his wind pipes was much stronger than before. Muteba used his impressive legs to jump towards a wall in an attempt to slam Logan into it. As they were about to collide Logan slipped his legs out from under muteba's arm pits and kicked off the wall.
In an impressive show of gymnastics he used the force of the push to summersault over muteba while maintains the hold. Now instead of him weighing him down with a head lock from behind he was forcing muteba to his knees with a chokehold from the front. Muteba was clawing at his neck which was trapped under Logan's armpit. He felt his senses fade as he fell limp to the ground within 5 seconds.
The audience was shocked at this sight as their fighter lost within 45 seconds to a punk from Korea. Robin was smiling as she recognised what just happened. This was almost the exact same series of moves that Logan used in the lookism manhwa against the big man from god dogs but the summersault was added flair. She reckons that his rewards made him much better at his fighting style so he was testing them on muteba.
She also saw the way muteba was about to strike Logan in the heart as it resembled shigan in its execution though the destructive force was reduced. She turned to Togo tomari "so miss tomari do you think my husband can represent your company in the upcoming tournament"
She asked with a calm smile which was a direct opposite of the other woman's beaming Cheshire smile. "You bet your ass, you lot take muteba for a check up while I discuss terms with these two. Logan lee is the new representative of iwami heavy industries for the tournament".
Logan put his clothes back on barely breaking a sweat with a grin on his face as the first objective was cleared. He and robin follow the sexy shark woman back to the elevator as they nod to each other. He asked robin before they entered the building if she was up for having some "fun" that wasn't shown in her manga with Togo later on. She was happy to oblige the person who she is coming to see as a friend that jaguar had mentioned to her all those years ago.
