Demons Battle

Dojo

.

.

Gabriel became the student of Machia Ontario. Although being Machia’s student was a big break for him on his start of his journey towards entering Demons Battle, Machia didn’t give him any chance to relax and celebrate his first victory.

Machia allowed Gabriel to become his student under one condition. The condition was for Gabriel to live under his roof while he trained. Of course Gabriel had no choice but to accept. It took a lot of effort to convince John’s parents to let him live under Machia.

His firsts few days of living with Machia Ontario felt like hell.  Machia woke him up around four every morning and made him do a two hour run with Tom. Gabriel never liked waking up early but it was one of the discomforts he had to suffer to become who he wanna be.

After his two hour run he was given just an hour to get breakfast. He immediately got into a martial arts training section with either Machia or Tom for three hours. Both Tom and Machia were damn strong. He was never able to beat them during his training sections. He realized immediately that his victory against Tom in the beginning was merely out of pure luck.

After his three hours martial arts training, he took a one hour thirty minutes break for lunch.

Then right after lunch he got into the gym to lift weights, do some squats, with push ups and sit ups for another three hours.  After his gym workout he did a few minutes meditation before dinner.

He did all these routine six days a week. Gabriel continued with the routine for more than 66 days until the routine started to feel like breathing to him.

Gabriel trained under Machia intensively for three months before Machia permitted him to start attending a Dojo.

.

.

“Hey! Today’s is your first day at the Dojo so go some kick ass.”

Machia said with his usual optimistic childish behavior of his.

“ Yeah Boss!” Gabriel replied Machia in a nonchalant manner as he was putting a little stuff in his bags while getting ready to live for the Dojo.

Gabriel was wearing a yellow Latino T-shirt with a Shinos trouser and white sneakers.

“Oh Damn. You’re looking good. Young man you’re going there to train, not to distract the girls who are training in the Dojo”

“What the hell are you talking about?” Gabriel said with an dumbfounded facial expression.

“Hahaha. Come on!of course you know what I’m talking about” Machia laughed out as he gave Gabriel a wink with a body gesture of just his hips moving.

“...what a pervert.” Gabriel muttered as he walked out on Machia.

He came out of the compound meeting the view of the outside street. Machia house was actually located in a First class district.

  There were three different categories of District. The first class district, the middle class District and finally the lower class district.

Only first class individuals were usually able to afford a house in the first class district due to the expensive cost of living.

‘Wow living in the first class district is actually worth it’ Gabriel thought to himself while looking at other beautiful compounds located in the street.

In less than a minute after he stepped outside, a flight-car landed at his front.

In this particular time the flight-car was actually a car with easy mobility in terms of flight.  The reason it was called a flight-car was because it was a car that had four propellers that made it fly instead of the normal four wheels.

It was a commonly used form of transportation by the rich. The benefits of using this kind of transportation was because there was never traffic in the air. It was one of the most expensive and classic form of transportation.

The Flight-car landed easily with the passenger door sliding open for him. With the passenger door opened he could see the red soft relaxing car sit inside the flight-car. The passengers sit of a flight-car was a comfort that called onto anybody who sets his gaze on it.

But Gabriel was feeling rather astonished right now. He didn’t order a Flight-car.

“Get in sir!” The Driver of the vehicle screamed from the flight-car in respectful manner.

“Umm...sorry excuse me but I didn’t order a Flight-car!”

“ Oh sir sorry my bad. Machia told me to pick you up! Please get in sir”

‘Machia that bastard! he really wants me to arrive in that dojo in style. Well how can I refuse’

Gabriel thought with a slight grin while getting into the Flight-Car. The passengers sit felt so soft and very comfy as he sat on it. The feeling he got from the Flight-car was reminiscent to that of his early childhood. He recalled getting into a Flight-car with Leah and his parents many years ago before Paris was born.

The Flight car ascended towards the sky and started flying to his destination as Gabriel watched the whole city from the birds eye view.

Immediately a little fixed container in the car opened up with a bottle of champagne and glass in front of him. The sight of the drink reminded him he was in a first class vehicle and he should at least enjoy the feeling of being classic for a few minutes before he arrives at his destination. Gabriel poured out the drink in the cup and took a sip with his eyes closed as he relished the taste of the drink.

‘Now that’s the feeling’

It didn’t take more than five minutes for him to arrive at his destination. The Flight-Car arrived in front of Big Five story building that took half the entire block of the street. The building had a big Sign in front of it labelled ‘Stratton Dojo’.

“Wow. It’s actually more bigger than I thought.”

Dojos were actually more classic and bigger these days because of the money they were making from the Demons Battle sport. Dojo these days needed to upgrade their branding so a bigger building was also part of this upgrade.

Gabriel got out of the flight-car and gave a wave to the driver as the flight-car ascended away.

Gabriel immediately walked in through the sliding doors of the building. Along the welcoming hallway he saw different posters of fighters in Demons Battle posted on the wall. He also saw a statue of Killer Joe. He took his eyes off the killer Joe statue in irritation as he continued working.

He worked towards the end of the big welcoming hallway until he could see a Series of Receptionist desks. There were up to eight receptionist sitting at their own desks. The receptionist were attending to different people. He immediately approached a receptionist whom he saw was free.

“Excuse me”

“ Yes sir how may I help you?” The receptionist replied politely.

“Um.. I would love to register for you guys martial arts program”

“ That’s very nice you’re welcome sir. Which one exactly? Is it a powered human program or a regular human program?”

“ Regular human” 

“ Oh wow. You wanna learn how to beat the bullies or what?”

“What?”. Gabriel asked again because the receptionist had thrown a question he wasn’t expecting at all.

“ Oh. I was asking about the reason why you are getting into a regular human program”

“ Um.. I wanna improve my fighting skills”

“Yeah right” the receptionist chuckled at Gabriel answer.

The reason why the receptionist was acting in such a manner was because in Dojo these days powered human program was the serious deal.

The regular humans who got into the regular human program to learn how to fight, got in mostly because of bullies, self defense and all that. And Gabriel knew this, that’s why he decided initially that he’s gonna need more than a regular human martial arts training to increase his Agility Grade Point. He was grateful Machia was actually helping him.

“So how long will you be paying for sir?”

“ A month actually”

“That would be 5000 yen sir”

“Okay no problem”

Gabriel immediately brought out his smart card and swiped it passed a box-like device with it making the sound *Beep*

Just like that Gabriel paid for the program. Payments these days where fast due to the evolution of technologies and softwares.

“Alright welcome to Stratton Dojo sir” the receptionist gave Gabriel a welcoming handshake with a smile.

“How about I give you a tour around the facility to get you started?”

“Yes. That would very great. Thank you”

The Receptionist picked up his phone and his access card as he walked and gestured towards Gabriel to follow him.

He followed the receptionist into a doorway leading to another hall.

They were both walking in the hallway when Gabriel saw a huge labeled door.  He looked at the label to see the words written on the label was ‘POWERED HUMAN PROGRAM’

“Umm wait. Do you mind if we check out here?” Gabriel said while pointing towards the labeled door.

“Oh you mean you wanna take a tour of Powered human program section?”

*Nod*

Gabriel nodded yes to the receptionist question.

“ Umm.. I’m really sorry but that section is prohibited. Only powered humans and Teachers are actually allowed”

“Oh I get it.”

“I’m really sorry but how about I show you your regular human program section first” The receptionist said in an apologetic manner.

They both walked forward. The receptionist took Gabriel to regular human program section. An Opened hall welcomed them and the hall where filled with students practicing karate as they all moved in unison.

"This is one of the training new students go through"

The receptionist said while pointing towards the students training.

After that the receptionist took John to more Rooms and hall in the regular human section. There was a gym and a ring where regular humans had their own practice fights.

Just as they were walking Gabriel eyes caught something interesting

"This is.."

"A fighting arena for the powered humans" The receptionist said completing Gabriel's statement.

"It's an exact replica of Demons Battle arena although smaller" The receptionist then complimented with a smile while feeling a bit prideful.

The Demons Battle arena was located inside the middle of the Dojo building. Gabriel and the receptionist were standing at the second floor.  They were able to see the Demons Battle arena from a glasses window view in the second floor hallway.

The main Demons Battle arena was actually bigger than the replica they were looking at.

Demons Battle fighting arena was actually as big as the size of a Soccer Stadium. It was actually similar to a soccer stadium with seats for fans to watch but the difference between it and a football stadium was it had no Fields but a solid floor.

The replica Sport Arena they were steering at also had seats for fans too.

'My I just can't wait to get my Gene Enhancements to start fighting in rings like this'

It took twenty minutes for Gabriel and the receptionist tour around the Dojo to finally end.

Gabriel had immediately dived into training were a sensei was addressing them on the regular rules of the Dojo. The Sensei showed him and the others some simple moves that day.

.

.

It was already afternoon in the Dojo that day.

It was time for lunch and all the students were proceeding to the cafeteria through the hallway. Gabriel was walking alone in the hallway when he felt someone walking in the opposite direction bumped into him.

Gabriel kept walking towards the cafeteria when he heard a shout behind him.

" Hey! You bumped into me so you should apologize right this minute!" The young man who bumped into Gabriel shrieked in a bossy manner.

"Oh. I'm sorry". Gabriel said as he continued walking to the cafeteria.

"You impudent Bastard! is that the way you apologize to your senior?"

" Hey! do you know who you're talking to?"Another student said supporting the first student that had bumped into Gabriel.

'Huh? I didn’t know there were still bullies in Dojo?'

Gabriel thought while he stopped walking to turn around. They were six students, they all had a very good physique.  Although the first student that had bumped into Gabriel had a bigger, muscular physique . It wouldn't be wrong for Gabriel to assume that he's the leader of the pack.

They were all wearing a red Gi. The red Gi were actually worn by senior students in the Dojo. The Dojo had Gis with four different colors. They were Black, Red, Blue and white.

Students wearing Black Gi were at a higher rank. They were the seniors in the Dojo in other words in terms of strength they were the strongest among the students. Students who wore black Gi had passed through all the other lesser colors so their strength and seniority were actually as a result of their growth and experience while climbing the through the other colors.

Since Gabriel was new he was currently wearing a white Gi  which was the lowest in ranks. The bullies he was staring at where all wearing red Gi, the senior rank just after black. After the black Gi students, red Gi students were the next seniors in line.

"Knee!" 

The student with the bigger physique commanded.

" Huh?" Gabriel harrumphed at the senior's commandment.

"Hey! Looks like you're still new here! When a senior ask a junior to do something, the junior is expected to heed the commands of the senior!"

"Yeah! If we ask you to lick our feet then you lick our feet. If we ask to lick our ass then you lick our ass! If we ask you to knee then you fucking knee!"

The red Gi seniors were all shouting at Gabriel in the hallway. The screams of the seniors had caught the attention of other students walking through the hall. Students stopped to watch what was going on.

" oh shit! he's gonna get his butt kicked"

" I feel so sorry for him"

The few students that had gathered to watch the scene were muttering while looking towards Gabriel with pity.

" Hey get on your knees now!" One of the senior shouted as he pointed to the ground.

"No"

" Oh wow a brave guy. If you don't get on your knees I'll make you kneel and you won't like that. So I'll say it one last time. Kneel!" The student with the bigger physique said with his eyes narrowed at Gabriel.

"hahaha... Okay why don't you make me kneel then" 

Gabriel laughed and gave a smile in excitement.

The other seniors were about to rush towards Gabriel when they heard an order.

"Stop!"

They all stopped upon hearing the voice of the student with the bigger physique.

"Live him. He's mine I will discipline his impudent behavior out of him"

The Bigger guy started walking towards Gabriel.

He was already in front of Gabriel when he tried placing his right hand on Gabriel's shoulder.

*BAM*

The sound of a hit was heard. Gabriel gave a direct hit to the elbow of the bigger senior before he could lay his hands on Gabriel’s shoulder.

"Shit!" 

The senior screamed in pain. His right arm became numbed because Gabriel’s hit but he was so much pissed that he followed up an actual punch attack with his left hand.

*BAH*

Gabriel gave another direct hit to the senior's solar plexus before his blow could reach him. 

The hit to the senior’s solar plexus made him feel intense pain. The senior lost his balance as he fell towards Gabriel due to the pain he was feeling. Before he could regain his balance as he was falling towards Gabriel, Gabriel stepped aside and put out a foot in front of the senior thereby causing him to fall totally on his face.

Immediately the senior landed on the ground with his face, Gabriel got on top the senior's back holding his right arm backwards.

"Sorry bro but this is gonna hurt. How about I disciplined you?" Gabriel mumbled towards the ear of the senior as broke his arm.*BRACK*

"Ahhhhhh!" 

The scream of the senior immediately followed the sound of his arm being broken.

Gabriel got up from the senior's back and looked directly at the other seniors who all had a terrified facial expression with a scary grin.

" Yo! Who wanna die next?"

"haa" 

They all reacted in terror by taking a few steps back as they met Gabriel’s gaze.

'Who's this kid? he took down Niragi senpai in just ten seconds?'

'Niragi senpai is the strongest among all of us in the Red Gi. And for him to beat Niragi senpai just like nothing. This guy... he's already on a black Gi level.'

A senior had an expression of terror as he looked at Gabriel. He immediately noticed that Gabriel was not on their level in terms of strength.

"oh my God did he just beat Niragi senpai"

" Who is he?"

“How will I know?”

"Well he's one hell of a hottie"

The students who gathered around to watch the scenario were all muttering. It created a nuisance in the hall.

" Man. It looks like I got really carried away. I think Machia attitude is beginning to rub off on me" Gabriel said to himself.

"Hey there's a healer or an regenerative incubator right?"

Gabriel asked one of the seniors.

"Uh..yeah!"

The senior answered with a terrified tone.

A Regenerative incubator. It's a machine used for healing the injuries of a person quickly. It did the work of the healer by healing a person's injuries. But not everybody had access to a healer and with the help of technology fast healing was possible. The injured person only spends an average of thirty minutes in the regenerative incubator and their injuries are healed up.

A healer was better than the regenerative incubator because a healer didn't live a scare on the human body. The regenerative incubator sometimes left scares depending on the level of injury. The bigger the injury the higher the chances of getting a scar.

Although the regenerative incubator and healers healed injuries they were still unable to heal the fighters stamina or mental stress.

Reliefing Mental stress and regaining of stamina was done through taking a good regular sleep.

Gabriel broke the arm of Niragi because he knew a Dojo like this would either have a healer or a regenerative incubator.

Back to the scene.

The fact Gabriel beat up Niragi caused a commotion. Students crowded the hallway to see who beat up Niragi.

Gabriel was only able to beat Niragi thanks to his training with Machia and Tom. Besides his goal was to fight powered humans, so fighting regular humans were a waste of time for him. He saw regular humans as small fries.

“What’s going on here?”

A voice was heard a from among the crowd. All the students seemed to had recognized the voice as they gave way and started going to their different destinations.

As the crowd decreased Gabriel saw three men walking towards the them.

They were all tall. The tallest was the a man walking in the middle among the three men. He was at least six feet’s tall.

He had black long hair that was tied back together with a mustache and beard.

The three men stared at the scene to see Gabriel standing while Niragi was still lying on the floor with a broken arm. The rest seniors were just standing by looking all scared.

The man in the middle asked again 

“ I’ll ask again what is going on here?”

“Sensei it’s him! He broke Niragi’s arm. It’s this guy here.”

 One of the students immediately exclaimed as he pointed towards Gabriel.

Now the three men glanced towards Gabriel. He was standing with no form of injuries while Niragi was the one beat up. Only one thought occupied the mind of the man in the middle of the three men.

‘ Who the hell is this boy?’
