>>5617650>Monster’s roll: 94>Kai’s physical roll: 18>Kai’s resilience: 44Eventually he succeeded on damaging the arms enough that the monster stopped trying to scratch him, with Kai following up with a push to the center of mass to unbalance it so he could maneuver towards the backside. However, that’s when the biggest flaw on Kai’s plan showed itself: he had completely misread the danger of the CanSlothKan’s lower body. The monster tail was never meant for swinging at opponents, but to serve as a support for it to deliver a devastating kick, and the push had allowed it to hit Kai square in his abdomen, sending him flying back.
>Perk: What Doesn't Kill You>Perk: FIGHTING SPIRITThe pain was immense, if it wasn’t for the harsh conditioning of a martial artist, he likely would have been disemboweled. The smart move would be to retreat, he had been fighting the beast for long enough for long enough for support to arrive. But there was no fear in Kai’s heart, only the burning determination of a true fighter! Although bystanders would describe it more like a maniacal grin.
“Think you put me down just because you hurt me a little? THAT’S WHEN I’M AT MY BEST!”
>Monster’s roll: 51>Kai’s physical roll: 81 + Perk Bonus>Kai’s resilience: 76 + Perk BonusThe next few seconds were a blur of red and black for Kai. He could feel the pulsing of the blood in his veins, the throbbing in his head, the heat in the back of his neck. Every single attempt of the monster to attack him was met with either a counter. There was times when Kai did not even block or dodge before punishing the strikes, overwhelming it through sheer brute force and instinct. By the time Kai ceased his barrage, the thing was a unrecognizable mess smeared in the pavement.
He paused to catch his breath, before noticing that his gi was way more torn and red now.
“I think I’ll start the list by the laundromat”
As soon as those words left his mouth, he felt a sharp pain in his belly
“Maybe the medical supplies would be better…”
Kai quickly limped away from the fight, ignoring the police officers and paramedics that had arrived. He never actually registered with the Hero Association, even though he has been patrolling the city for some time. While he would love to claim that it’s in protest at the idea of regulating the right of self-defense, in truth it was just because it always seemed to be too much of a hassle to bother with all the rules. It’s a good thing that most people tend to just assume that someone that looks like a wandering martial artist that can hold his own in a fight obviously would be a hero, and the ones that don’t eventually give up after witnessing his ability to tune out lectures nearly instantaneously.
