Genius Copycat In Zombie World

[Flashback] Martial Arts

In the backyard of their house. Stood a dojo of their father. Yuan entered the dojo and stepped on the wooden floor.

He was waiting there as Yuan was in his taekwondo uniform. He entered the dojo and there, he was wearing his karate uniform.

"So you've shown at last! I hope you are prepared for the worst for making me wait," John said while he was sitting on the floor, cracking his knuckles in the process.

"I will let you enjoy in the meantime. And ease the pain of making you wait. Father," Yuan said then bowed.

"Oh, so you were conversing nicely now. Come here, let's talk a bit," John said.

"What is it?" Yuan asked curiously.

Yuan then sits in front of his father.

"Show me what you have learned in six martial arts that I have taught you," John said.

"Father, I have memorized all moves in that six martial arts. What will you teach me?" Yuan asked.

"Hmm, okay! What is the hardest for you to master?" his dad asked.

"It was the Kung Fu I guess? It was very broad. The second hardest was Karate. Jiu-Jitsu was brutal but it was the most helpful in a ground fight. The Mui Tai was the easiest for me but it was also cool you know! The taekwondo was my favorite but other martial arts were also cool," Yuan then scratched his head.

"All martial arts can counter each other. It's just the judgment of the martial artist. A wrong move will make you lead to being inflicted with pain,"

"Remember that martial arts were to protect and defend. But it was also being used to cause violence. It was a weapon that was used depending on the person," John said.

"You can count on me dad. I will use it to protect the weak. Now, dad! When will we fight?" Yuan asked.

"You are getting excited? Well, let's start. I will stretch my feet first. You also have to stretch your body," John said.

"Okay!" Yuan replied.

Marlin stretches his legs and feet. Splitting on the wooden floor. He hops and stretches his arms and waist.

Making a stretch sidewards, front, and back. He then rotates his upper body left and right. His father was also stretching.

"Dad, what will we do?" Yuan asked.

"We fight what else?" said John frankly.

"Okay, now it was pretty warming. I finished warming up. Let's go!" Yuan said excitedly.

"Okay let's get into the mat. Bow to each other and fight!" John said.

"Wait!" Yuan shouted.

"We need at least a referee," Yuan added.

"We don't need it. It was not even a proper match. It was exercise! Let's go!" John said.

"Sigh, there is no helping it. Haaa!" Yuan shouted.

Yuan approached his father with speed. His father also approached him. With speed, they clashed together.

John launched a punch at him but Roan bends his waist backward and holds his father's hand with both hands. He then clipped his feet to his shoulders.

"A jujitsu! Holding and grappling the enemy with joint locks!" John said.

Marlin's momentum has yet to end. He holds his feet to his arms but he managed to backflip. Slamming John to the mat.

Tak!

"You were pretty desperate in the first minute huh?" John said.

"Well let me taste you with Mui Tai!" he said then rotated his body and knee-kicked Yuan. Yuan was thrown a bit and rolled on the mat.

"You want Mui Tai. Then let's contest it out!" Yuan said.

Yuan backflipped then he dashed. They met and used their own Mui Tai skills. Yuan jumped and knee kicked with both his knees. John was surprised but he kicked him in the chest.

Bang!

Yuan moved his arms to defend but it was too strong. He was again thrown.

"Again!" Yuan shouted.

His dad attacks him with the right elbow hook and Yuan did the same. He punched but his dad parried it and then knee-kicked him again.

Yuan then holds his thighs and ducks while his elbows strike upwards to his dad's face.

Pak!

He hits his dad in the face. John then low kicks him in the legs and Yuan didn't expect it.

Roan stumbled and John then used the opportunity to attack. He rotated and initiated a roundhouse kick to him.

Pak!

Yuan was hit. John then double-kicked him in the face with high kicks and it was all a hit.

Pak! Pak!

Yuan felt dizzy. His father then used an uppercut but Marlin rotated. He evaded the strike as he rotated. He then launched a quick punch to his father's waist.

He then trips his feet and pushed him to the floor. Yuan expected a victory but his father holds his shoulders with his feet and rotated. Slamming him to the floor. He then grappled him with a joint lock.

"Ouch! Ouch!" Yuan then shouted.

"You want to surrender?" John asked.

Yuan was infuriated and he kicked his father's feet.

"Ouch, that hurts! Okay I will let you go this time," Said John.

Yuan then stepped back and rotates his shoulders.

"That was pretty good Jiu-Jitsu. I have to be wary of it,' Yuan said in his mind.

Yuan approached. His father rotated and used a roundhouse kick. Yuan, on the contrary, ducked and slammed his feet to the floor.

It produced a banging sound and from the strength of his feet, when his father faced him, he punched him with all the force of his body. Vibrating it as he landed with full force.

Bang!

His father was shocked by it and he was punched in the abdomen.

"Using Tai Chi to me? That was pretty good but I will use Wing Chun," John said.

He used a straight blast. Using it while punching as fast as a machine gun in his centerline.

Papapapapappapak!

He punched him in the chest, the abdomen, and the face. Some were defended but some were not. Roan can barely cope with his barrage of blows and was hit furiously.

'I can't keep up. Think of a way to counter him. Think!' Yuan said in his mind.

'Let's use Tai Chi's counters,' Yuan thought.

With the fast barrage. He parries it with his other hand but his other hand was striking.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

All three hits have landed on his waist. Making him hard to breathe. His father stepped back a bit then in Shaolin form.

"Witness the Shaolin Kung Fu!" He shouted.

"Snake form!" He added.

John strikes like a snake. Piercing like a bullet. Yuan evaded it but on his evasion, he was attacked.

"Tiger form!" He shouted.

He mauled him with his claw-like palm and strikes his chest. Striking with power with his arms and legs. He kicked him with a rotating motion and landed in his face.

Pughak!

Yuan gasped air. Even Roan was disadvantaged, he continued his barrage.

"Dragon form!" John shouted.

John strikes with light and quick attacks. It barraged Roan. Yuan strikes with his hands but it was parried by the fast and light movements of his father.

"Crane form!" John said.

He strikes with accuracy but at the same time, he evades the attacks.

"Monkey form!" He shouted.

He strikes with his hands ferociously. Roan was blocking them all but was pushed back.

Roan then switched to Taekwondo. He aggressively kicks him with force.

Pak! Pak!

A double-kick was initiated. It hits his father in the face.

"Let's stop!" John said.

'His mastery in Shaolin kung fu was above mine. Maybe I can master it all someday,' Yuan said in his mind.

"Roan, you have potential and can master it all but what will you do if you master it all?" his father asked.

"Well, maybe find something that I can use it! Like tournaments! But it was also to teach it to the next generation I guess?" Yuan said.

"Haha! I know you will say that!" John said.

"You know what? Why all of you are obsessed with teaching me with your knowledge?" Yuan said.

"That's because you are the only next generation of the family of Smiths and The sole heir of the Subaru family. All that knowledge will be bestowed to the next generation and sadly, you are the only grandson of both families,"

"Well, it was our joy to teach you all that. But consider itself lucky but at the same time a burden. You are one and the only boy who was being taught by a scout ranger, at the same time police, and at the same time, multiple martial artists,"

"Your Subaru family will also teach all their knowledge. But it was burdensome, to be the sole heir. But you know, you are a genius,"

"You will be a great man someday. And prepare your things, we will be leaving America tomorrow. We will visit your grandpa Subaru," John said to his son.

"Okay, I will get ready then. See ya! Good night!" Yuan said then left the dojo.

Yuan entered the back door and entered his room. He washed with warm water before he will sleep.

'I wonder why my father said that we will leave abruptly. I think it was an emergency. Well, let's sleep for the night. For now, I will binge-read these books my grandpa handed to me.

'These books are pretty interesting and full of knowledge. I hope it will be useful someday.' Yuan said in his mind.
