Against the Inevitable Destiny
Chapter 20 - Becoming Familiar?

[ The Dojo ]

"Huh ... Huh ... Huh ..."

A blond man was lying exhausted in a dojo field. The man was of course the exhausted Yami after receiving a few blows from Riyu.

As for Riyu herself, she was sitting quietly in front of him, using one knee to support one hand.

"Who... huh.. Are you really?"

Yami may realize that Ryu is not an ordinary person. While fighting with Riyu, he was completely defeated, without giving the slightest resistance. He had never lost like this before, especially with people his age.

All this time, he had never lost to a child his age, instead he had won several times from adults. He had only ever felt this desperate when he fought with the seniors that were in his family.

In his own family, he had always been the most diligent in training, so his own fighting prowess was above average, perhaps being able to be categorized as a C+ class.

Make no mistake, Class C is the minimum class to be accepted as a soldier in ETER Union, considering the age of Yami who is 17 years old is an achievement. Even because of her abilities, Yami is considered a child prodigy by her family, as there is no one like her in their family records.

Therefore, he was confident that he could win or at least put up a fight, while fighting with Riyu. Although she knew that Riyu was strong, because it could hit her the first time she met, but it was because she was off guard so she felt that she would not lose this hard.

Seeing that Yami was very surprised by her defeat, Riyu just smiled faintly then told her true identity.

"Akahasa Riyu, from the Akaasa family."

"Akasa. So that family huh.”

Yami understood a little where Ryu's power came from.

Although the Akaasa family is famous for its technology, but in the minds of the other 5 large families, Akaasa is considered an anomaly.

The fighting ability of the original Akaasa blood owner almost rivaled that of the Kuro family. Only, the owner of Akaasa blood is only born one person in each generation so that their number is less than the Kuro family.

However, that doesn't change the fact that they are very powerful. Even today, the strongest SS-class warrior was the Head of the Akaasa Family. He is a rival of Yami's retired grandfather, no one knows who among them is the most powerful.

In addition, the knowledge of the Akaasa family is also very broad although it does not rival the Destin family. As for the level of intelligence, they are almost the same as the Destin family or maybe more because the Akaasa Family is also famous as a researcher. Even Riyu's parents, were highly respected by the scientists of the world and it was recognized by the Destin family themselves.

And as for resources, it was unquestionable. Many of the technologies belonging to the Akaasa Family are spread all over the world, you can imagine how rich the Aka-Language Family is with just the technology.

“I think the Akaasa family is just a bunch of crazy scientists.”

And of course Yami will not praise the Akaasa Family. She was still a little annoyed that Riyu hit her face a few times.

“My name is Kuro, Kuro Yami."

"Kuro. Well, your family is just as crazy in a fight. I don't understand why you guys are so crazy about physical exercise." Riyu says.

“....” Yami just silently heard Ryu's words.

“I agree with the last sentence. But you, you're different, you're on another level. How can your movement be that natural.”

Although Yami understands that Ryu is from the Akaasa Family, she is still confused as to how Ryu's abilities can be like that. His movements can only be obtained from the experience of tens or even hundreds of years.

He did not believe that he who was considered a child prodigy had not the slightest resistance.

“I only have my own condition and crazy training, maybe. Oh I also train with certain people.”

Ryu recalls some frightening events as he trains with Maya.

Of course he also realized that not only that, he was sure it had something to do with his feelings. However, he did not want to think about that for now, perhaps in the future he would know about it.

……

[Some Minutes Later ]

As Riyu and Yami chatted about some things, Mei came up with two bottles of drinks in her hands.

"I told you not to overdo it."

Riyu who saw Mei coming immediately stood up, walked up to her then took the two bottles of drink in her hand, throwing one at Yami.

With her reflexes, Yami could easily accept the bottle. Merely, he felt a slight dissatisfaction from Ryu's behavior.

"It looks like you two look familiar.”

"Who is familiar with it?"

"Who is familiar with it?"

Ryu and Yami answered simultaneously.

"seen right? You two look like a couple now."

"We don't!"

"We don't!"

Hearing the words of Riyu and Yami, Mei laughed quite loosely, she could not help but laugh as their reaction was quite funny.

As for the two men, they were quite fascinated by her laughter, especially Riyu who impatiently wanted to kiss her. If there was no one here, he might have already pounced on Mei like a hungry wolf.
