Martial Arts System
Martial Arts System - Chapter 93: The Mansion.

Next Day.

4 P.M

Ichiro and Quella were as usual, standing in the Screaming Boy Forest.

But today, they weren't here for today.

''The Yakuza base is located there.'' Quella pointed at the map.

Ichiro looked at the map, ''Hmm...''

''Are you sure you can do this? This is quite suspicious.'' Quella said.

Ichiro nodded and folded the map, ''This is obviously a trap. The letter said that the boss of Yakuza is only Low Martial Captain, but that is a big lie. The Yakuza would have been destroyed by now if their boss was that weak.''

Quella nodded, ''But you are only Half-Step Martial Leader.''

Ichiro didn't tell anyone that he had reached Martial Captain yet. It would be very suspicious and unbelievable.

Ichiro shrugged and put the folded map in his pocket, ''I will be fine.''

Quella decided to believe in her disciple.

''See you tomorrow, Mistress,'' Ichiro said and started running away from the Forest.

Quella was left alone in the Forest.

''He seems stronger... But how much stronger...'' Quella murmured; she felt that Ichiro's strength had a massive leap. She just doesn't know how big.

...

1 Hour Later.

Ichiro reached an abandoned mansion.

The Mansion looked abandoned, but you could see slight shadows moving inside the mansion if you looked closely.

Ichiro was confident that this was the place.

He took off his backpack and put it on the ground; he opened it and took a black ski mask from it.

He put it on; the mask covered his face completely.

''Let's do this...'' Ichiro murmured and jumped over the fence. He crouched instantly after he reached the mansion premises.

There was only a big grass field separating the small forest Ichiro was in and the mansion.

But he would get instantly caught if he blindly ran in the grass field.

But that would be before him reaching Martial Captain.

[Iron Burst]

[Iron Burst: Concentrate all your strength on your leg, it allows you to do small bursts of speeds]

Ichiro disappeared from the forest and appeared in the middle of the grass field.

[Iron Burst]

Again Ichiro disappeared and appeared next to the mansion.

*CRACK*

Ichiro destroyed the lower half of the window and put his hand inside.

*Clank*

He opened the window and sneaked in.

The mansion was very quiet and dark, but Ichiro could feel slight tremors coming underneath the estate.

With sneaky steps, he started approaching the stairway which leads to the basement area.

But then, the sound of footsteps appeared from the stairways.

Ichiro quickly hid inside one of the rooms.

A skinny-looking middle-aged man was ascending the stairs.

He didn't notice anything being wrong, he started walking towards the door, but then his vision turned black, and he fell down on the ground.

[Iron Swift!]

[Iron Swift: Knock out or kill your opponents with a swift attack to the pressure point!]

Ichiro dragged the knocked-out man towards the room he was hiding in.

He put him in the nearby closet.

Ichiro left the room and slowly started descending the stairs.

Shortly afterward, he reached the bottom floor.

The bottom floor was completely unprotected; only a single wooden door was on sight.

Ichiro narrowed his eyes, 'I can't sneak in...'

Ichiro quickly reached the wooden door; he put his ear on it and started eavesdropping.

He heard laughter, loud voices, and screaming voices.

Ichiro stopped eavesdropping; he cracked his neck and took a deep breath.

He raised his leg and kicked towards the door!

*SMASH*

*CRASH*

The door was instantly smashed to pieces.

Ichiro finally saw what the reason for the voices was. A group of Yakuza members was laughing while three women were tied up with very little clothes on.

The group of Yakuza was shocked to see the door being smashed to pieces.

''WHO THE FUCK?!'' Loud screams echoed in the room.

[Iron Burst]

Ichiro suddenly disappeared from his spot and appeared in front of three Yakuza members.

Ichiro crossed his arms, and his hands instantly looked like the ancient claws of a mighty beast.

[Iron Predator!]

*SPLAT*

The three Yakuza members fell down on the grounds while holding their necks which were bleeding furiously.

Ichiro's hands were soaked in blood, but he didn't care about it currently.

The rest of the Yakuza members finally woke up from their stupor; they aimed their pistols at him.

''HANDS UP, OR WE WILL SHOOT!''

Ichiro ignored their shouts and went into Cat Stance.

''KILL HIM!''

*BANG*

*BANG*

Dozens of bullets flew through the sky towards Ichiro.

[Ironic Edge - Storm Hindering]

Ichiro started moving his hands in calm manners, and once the bullets came into his range, he moved his hand in perfect motion.

He touched the bullets only slightly, but enough for the bullets to miss his body.

*BANG*

The Yakuza members didn't stop shooting, but soon their magazines were empty.

They looked with shock-filled gazes as Ichiro was completely unharmed!

[Ironic Shift!]

[Ironic Shift - It allows the person to predict attack directions, and it helps to easily dodge any attacks - it allows the person to do huge speed bursts, which helps the person to move quickly short distances]

Ichiro disappeared from his spot and appeared behind the first Yakuza member.

[Iron Swift!]

With one quick motion, the Yakuza member fell down on the ground, his condition unknown.

[Iron Burst!]

Ichiro appeared next to the two Yakuza members who were panicking.

He grabbed their heads and twisted.

*Crack*

[Iron Hunter - Double Prey!]

The two Yakuza members fell down on the ground lifelessly.

The other Yakuza members went into a panic and tried to escape, making it easier for Ichiro to finish them off.

Soon all the Yakuza members were dead on the ground; only Ichiro and the three women were left.

The three women looked at the scene with pale faces.

Ichiro was looking around the room and noticed that the members he killed were some low-class thugs.

He grabbed a knife from one of the thugs' pockets and threw it towards the three young women.

The three young women paled; they closed their eyes, waiting for their deaths.

But the knife effortlessly cut down the ropes, which was tying them up.

Ichiro left the room with one thought in his mind, 'This was a trap.'

He knows it.

'I wonder how many people are waiting for me upstairs...' Ichiro thought; he started ascending the stairs with calm steps, but the floor was completely empty.

But then, a bright light appeared outside of the mansion.

Ichiro saw dozens of cars, with hundreds of Yakuza members standing outside of the mansion.

''Come out!'' A loud shout came from the outside of the mansion.

Ichiro left the mansion and saw hundreds of Yakuza members pointing their guns at him.

Ichiro's gaze instantly locked with one of the Yakuza members. He was smoking a cigarette while he looked at the scene with boredom. He had small black hair and black eyes. Average face, but there was some ruthlessness inside his eyes.

''I am honored that the League of Assassins wants my head.'' The Boss of Yakuza, also known as Minamoto, chuckled innocently.

Since Ichiro was wearing an entirely black outfit with a black ski mask, he looked way older than he actually was.

''But, this was a slight disappointment.'' Minamoto shook his head.

He waved his hand and said, ''Shoot him.''

*GRATATATA*

*BANG* *BANG*

Hundreds of bullets flew through the air, coming straight towards Ichiro.

[Iron Burst!]

The bullets made the mansion's walls filled with holes; they didn't stop shooting and instead kept destroying the mansion more and more.

After 10 seconds of firing without stopping, they stopped.

There was a small dust cloud, but the Yakuza members had already stopped aiming their guns; no one could survive that they thought.

Minamoto puffed a cloud of smoke in front of him and turned around.

He was about to enter his car, but then he felt a hand touching his nape.

''?!?!'' Minamoto was shocked, but then he saw his head facing the wrong direction.

His head was twisted like an owl's, and the last thing he saw in his life was Ichiro's black eyes.

[Ironic Twist!]

Minamoto fell down on the ground lifelessly; the rest of the Yakuza members hadn't even noticed it.

[Iron Burst!]

With a burst of speed, Ichiro disappeared.

The Yakuza members finally noticed Minamoto's corpse.

''BOSS!'' They yelled anxiously; they saw Ichiro jumping over the fence.

''CHASE AFTER HIM!'' The Yakuza members entered their cars and started chasing Ichiro.

While one of the Yakuza members put Minamoto's corpse gently on his car and started chasing after other cars as well.

While this chaos was going.

A three women who were staying on the basement, left the mansion which was filled with holes.

With nervousness and excitement they left the premises of the mansion and started running towards nearest civilization.

Ichiro entered the forest, while the rest of the Yakuza members followed.

The Yakuza members could barely see Ichiro's figure anymore and shortly afterward they completely lost him.

'DAMN IT!'' One of the Yakuza's shouted.

While the Yakuza members were anxiously searching for him.

Ichiro was sitting on top of a tree.
