Chapter 3: Story 1 Martial Glory Chapter 3 Commissioned by Ikito
"Hello!" Marie Rose exuberantly waved at me as the Jujutsu master Koetsuji seemingly took me in with his cloudy-looking eyes. Likewise, the other two teenage girls in Honoka Kasumi also gave a more summary greeting.
"So you desire to join Ryouzonpaku for training?" Koetsuji spoke and I nodded but then hesitated for a moment before speaking out.
"I mostly want some intense conditioning and sparing partners than more lessons on martial arts itself as I already have a bit of a foundation," I explained and Koetsuji raised in interest as did Kensei Ma. They were both clearly interested in what style of martial arts I was attached to but I didn't plan on bringing it up if I didn't have to.
I literally had the martial arts of the No-Sword style and the martial art style Bang used in One Punch Man that he used to kill Kaiju's downloaded and slotted into my head so I could never forget it... I needed training on getting the martial arts ingrained into my head as well as training my body to even be able to use the martial arts as otherwise I would cripple myself if I tried to use the crazy stuff the martial arts had in it.
"Hmm, teaching a student who doesn't proscribe to our own martial arts could be an interesting experiment," Koetsuji muttered aloud before looking over to Kensei. "I assume you already extorted some money from him?" He questioned shamelessly and Kensei smiled the like a fucking goblin while nodding and at the sight the girls edged away from the short man in disgust.
"So when do I get started?" I asked and Kensei perked up at my question and turned back to me.
"Well, honestly the rest of the people here are... Difficult and you likely won't be getting lessons from them much if at all so how about you get changed into a training outfit and we will throw you in the ring with Miss Kasumi here to get an idea of your skill level Hehe." Kensei snickered at the end at the thought of me fighting Kasumi and even my own face turned into a wry smile as the hot brunet sent me a look of sympathy and letting me know I was going to be facing some bruises at the least.
So as Kensei led me to a side room that had some martial arts outfits that were my size. I was thinking more about how Kensei mentioned how the other masters here at Ryouzonpaku probably wouldn't teach me, which was pretty spot on from what I remembered about the Karate master Shio Sakaki as well as the leader of Ryouzonpaku in Hayato Fūrinji, who was a monster in the shape of a man with the crazy nonsense he got up to.
"So could Shigure teach me about swords?" I asked as I started tying the martial arts outfit around my waist and I could hear Kensei chuckling in the next room.
"Oh if you don't mind bleeding a lot at best if not losing a limb if she gets angry Haha." Kensei couldn't help but laugh but I shrugged as learning from this group of crazies wasn't going to be easy.
"Alright let's get my ass kicked so I can get to actual training," I said wryly as I came out of the dressing room and Kensei shrugged at my defeatist words.
"You don't think you are going to win? Aren't even going to sneak in a little pinch of Kasumi's lovely curves?" He teased and in response, I stared at him like a dead man as standing behind him was a much more curvier woman than the one he mentioned.
But surprisingly Shigure didn't stab the pervert right then and there. Her words however made Kensei scream like a stuck pig and roll away into the main room of Koetsuji's building as he probably thought he was going to be stabbed anyway.
"You wish to learn the art of swordsmanship?" She asked softly with her head tilting to the side kind but before I could respond she spoke with a frown. "You... Are not made to hold a sword though." She whispered looking at me oddly and I smiled screaming internally as I remembered the No-Sword's martial arts birth.
Basically, this clan of almost superhumans back in the samurai days wanted to be samurai's pretty plain and simple but for a multitude of reasons like the swords being unable to be wielded by their large forms and large hands. But with how their supernatural strength also ended up breaking the blades that were commissioned for their size played into how eventually the clan decided to make their own super martial art.
They trained their bodies to become a sword and to show the world the hate they had for swords with their martial art training their body to be able to break blades easily. But at its core, this technique was still based on swordsmanship which was ironic.
"I only ask for a chance teacher," I earnestly asked Shigure and her placid face twitched into a tiny smile that disappeared at me calling her sensei.
"One chance..." She said quietly and then she blurred into motion as she leaped up almost eight or nine meters to hide back up in the rafters, and seeing her short skirt flap open as she ducked into the rafters of the building I realized this Dojo was going to be... Troublesome.

Once I came out of the dressing rooms I saw Kasumi was already in her martial arts outfit but with only a glance I realized the vixen had unbuttoned the top section of the outfit so her wide cleavage was easily exposed.
"Alright Jake, your job is to just show us what you can do." Koetsuji explained before looking at Kasumi. "Kasumi don't kill him with your ninjutsu." He said bluntly and she just smiled winningly while jumping on the balls of her feet before holding herself in a stance that had one hand down low towards her mid-chest and her other hand held up a bit above her head with her profile turned to the side to me.
Already I could feel the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist's knowledge within my mind telling me how Kasumi was using an adjusted Ninjutsu style seemingly mixed with some Karate and Muay Tai to give her strikes more power.
My No-Blade style for one was much more demanding of my body and honestly, I knew this was just to see my general fitness level as well as any prior training I had so settled into the style of the Water Stream Rock Smashing Fist and I saw how Kensei and Koetsuji's eyes sharpened at the sight of my hands seemingly swirling around myself as I stretched myself out to counter anything Kasumi could do.
"Alright... Start!" Kensei shouted and then Kasumi blurred forward with a thrown knee aimed at my chest.
