"I had to land at least one on you." you say.
Mr. Yamashita steps forward, reminding you both that he's actually standing there watching. "Maybe now would be a good time to stop. Billy still has to take the first of his formal exams tomorrow."
You're glad he interjected. If Koga began another offense you're positive he'd knock you down and finish you off. Not that you have a displeasure for fighting to the finish. It's just that you're getting the sense he's barely revealed his full arsenal. Meanwhile, you've displayed the majority of your best techniques.
Holding up your guard, your eyes stay locked on Koga. You can tell he isn't satisfied with letting it end here either. Thankfully he relaxes, exhaling softly. "You're right, Mr. Yamashita. No sense in either of us getting injured like this. I'm gonna head in and clean my shoulder up. Good luck with your training, Billy."
Relaxing your body, you bow deeply. "Thank you for the match, Koga!" He holds up a hand to acknowledge you as he heads into the Yamashita building. This experience was incredibly valuable for you. There's a potent mixture of emotions racing through your body as the adrenaline still pumps.
For the longest time it had felt that you were standing at the peak of what you thought was possible with martial arts.
In your mind's eye the peak now stretches far above the clouds from where you're standing. The truth is, you can't even imagine what the top looks like.
"Mr. Yamashita. I'm going to go back to my motel now. What time should I be here tomorrow?"
Kazuo checks his watch. "Oh? 9 AM should be fine. Have a good night."
"You too, sir." you say. As you begin to walk down the street the adrenaline still courses through your body. Unable to contain yourself, you begin to sprint through the streets at full speed.
Racing past the Kasparov Gym, it's only a few more minutes before you're back at the cheap motel. Going up to your room, you slam the door behind you and make a large takeout order to refuel from the day's adventures.
You have some downtime before it's time to go to sleep. Looking in the bathroom mirror you discover that your abdomen is actually severely bruised. It's very tender to the touch, a motley mixture of black, purple, blue. The accuracy and penetration of Koga's strikes was simply unreal to you.
