After Reincarnating, My System Quit!

Chapter 53  King of the Hill! by Harem-Fan

     "No, the man I will marry is not you but Rick Lee."

     Alex Renaldo looks like he was slapped in the face, but I had not heard the conversation before. But if Tina kissed me so openly like this, it means he was getting pushy. So I say to Alex.

     "Oh, sorry but I had come from Tina's home tonight and had accepted Tina, so of course you would not have heard. Plus you went overseas for business and I just scooped her up, so finding out the woman you wanted is with another man must sting. I am so sorry man, let's change coffee to some beer and we can tell each-other our sorrows."

     Nailed it! Look at everyone's expressions. I will make my Acting Basic climb to Advanced in my lifetime. Oh and I see that the actress lady seemed to notice me acting there. She is grinning like she understands something. I have to remember that those in the fields will notice this stuff.

     Alex points to me while asking Tina.

     "For years now, you have been supporting me to marry you and only since the Prom, you throw away my love for you and choose a nobody to replace me just like that? Don't embarrass Feng with your rebellious nature. You cannot marry him anyway, I have an agreement with your father. You picked me to be your husband."

     Tina rolled her eyes and leaned into my arm that I put around her bare-shoulder and she just casually said.

     "I guess you did not get the hint when I left you on the dance floor? I was young back then and thought you were a charming prince, but no... you are just a frog trying to eat swan meat."

     I point to Alex and ask Scott who looks comfortable and drag his ass in.

     "Hey cousin, why did you bring this old man here to be rejected? You really like instigating people don't you?"

     Pressing the right button to piss off the Scotty, he bellows.

     "You're NOT my cousin, you bastard trash!"

     "But didn't uncle Anthony tell you to play nice? Man one night and you forgot our family dinner."

     Alex was pissed that I diverted his love confession, and maybe because I called him old, just got angry and pointed at me.

     "Look you schoolchild nobody, you need to shut up while Tina and I straighten out our misunderstanding."

     I look at Tina and she looks very happy with how I am agitating the two men. The one thing she knows about me is how I throw off my enemies with anger.

     "This old-man really has anger management issues, and likes molesting high-school girls, right?"

     Alex pissed a common looking brat in a suit with no background or status mocking him, just tightened his fist and I analyzed his martial arts.

     "Ah?! You're an expert in the use of Krav Maga! Nice a very-good fighting style for the street. One of the better Mixed Martial Arts styles. Seems you learned it from North America, right?"

     All of Alex's building anger dimmed as he realized I saw it, or Tina told me. But he remembered Tina ranked me Number two so he is cautious. I smile because this guy is better than Scott who is still enraged.

     "Rick Lee, right? You know you can't cross that boundary during the tournament or you will be hunted?"

     "Alex Renaldo, do remember we are under the same agreement, so don't try and start things without dealing with 5 first, okay then. Plus you have the movie-star Ana Zi at your side and you're really neglecting her feelings."

     I said it loud enough for the crowd we gathered to hear, and when they noticed the woman hiding with the other women, everyone shifted to her.

     Yes, she may have been 2nd in talent to the main actress, but her skill is there. However the dark rumors are that she spent time on the casting-couch to get her role. I don't know if it's true nor do I care, but her being here is perfect for causing trouble. But then Ana Zi said to me.

     "That was not very nice Mr Lee, I was only trying to stay low-key, sigh."

     "Sorry Miss Xi, but your date is bothering my date, so I had to put him in the light as well, forgive me."

     She then said to Alex.

     "I will be in the limo waiting till you are done embarrassing us, goodbye Mr Lee."

     And the beautiful actress was hounded all the way to the limo by fans. Alex looked at me and frowned at my tricks. He then said to both Tina and then Scott. If this story is on any-other site than Scribble Hub, then it was stolen without permission!

     "Tina, you're my love so don't forget that. You can play with this boy for a bit, but don't cross that line, or his life is forfeit. Scott, I will be with my date."

     Then with heavy steps, Alex went to join the actress in the limo.

     I look at Bob and smile. He was the one I dropped into the pisser first.

     "How is it going Bob? I was curious if urinal-cakes  taste good or not? And Jack brother, lock the bathroom stall door to keep out Bobs."

     (A/N urinal-cakes are those deodorizing patty's in the bottoms of the urinals to keep them clean and fresh. But all men know we only use them for target practice.)

     Both men in anger stepped forward to teach me another lesson, but with Tina's gesture, all the members of Fire Birds drew their weapons, mainly knives.

     Do remember, the use of guns is not unknown in Eurasia, but it is not used much in normal conflicts. The rooftop and Monk are the rare exceptions. Most fights are settled with fights like at my high-school. Unlike my first Earth, the honorable way to fight is with fist and handheld weapons. This is as normal as harems.

     I can't not shame Scott, right?

     "Scotty you need to make your dumb dogs heel, or they will start a fight, and with your four sexy wives here, they might get caught up. You're a maid down already, so you need to love your women, or others will~!"

     Naturally you would think I am talking about the twins, but due to being traumatized by my dick picture, he is thinking of his maid being pounded by that scum man. He said to his bodyguards.

     "You two idiots stop!"

     Everyone calmed when they heard him be reasonable. But then I say to fuel it.

     "No cousin, it's totally cool, I will fight them if you want... I still have not had my fill of teaching the two dogs that this pig is not a pig."

     Everyone looked surprised that I said I would fight. Many had smiles on their faces, because fist fights are always fun, no matter who wins the crowd always wins.

     I opened the car-door and put my jacket, smartphone, watch, and guns in there. Now I am only wearing my button-down and slacks.

     The shoes I am wearing are also good for fighting these two guys. I roll my neck and then walk out to the now opening area and Scott looks conflicted if he should allow this or not.

     I loosen my muscles and take a Jujitsu stance. This time I will use martial arts from the Japan Empire. This form of martial arts is known for its grappling, joint-locks, and dislocation techniques. The name loosely translates to... [Whatever Works.] This style of fighting is one of the best in the world for close quarters street-fights.

     (A/N Jujitsu was one of two martial-arts I was a black-belt in when I was younger, the-other Karate. I spent 4 years in each style, so I have a working knowledge of street-fighting, unlike my shallow knowledge of guns and cars. Just a fun fact sorry, back to the story.)

     I lean in with one leg slightly forward and both hands in a slightly forward relaxed grabbing-gesture, like I plan on swatting some bugs, well two actually. Tina said to me loud enough for the crowd.

     "Rick, entertain me and I will give you a reward, so mess them up for me."

     I give Tina a thumbs up without looking back and slowly approach the men. Both men sadly are only Basic level fighters and for the new me, I am just bullying them now.

     Jack is a practitioner of the North American Boxing sport. In a boxing ring and with boxing rules, you can't out-box a boxer, but on the street, they suck-ass! Their entire lower-body is like one skill level lower than their actual fighting level. They have almost no defense against being thrown and leg-swept.

     Bob is a practitioner of the university-sport form of Judo, a modified and easy-version of Jujitsu made for street-sport and take-downs. This art is comparable to basic Karate in overall effectiveness.

     I am not knocking on most martial-arts and everyone has its pro's and con's, but knowing what your enemies strengths and weaknesses are is pivotal to winning. Thanks to my Kung-Fu Grandmaster, my greatest gift left by the System, I can instantly choose a form that can counter my opponents abilities in battle.

     Scott is suffering from crowd pressure and will lose-face if he backs down now, so he reluctantly nods for his guards to act. This action will get back to his father and the fact Scott came here knowing I would come is self-evident. Not to mention in only a short 24 hour period.

     Sadly, I have not had time to do my hacking work and listen in on what went on with father, son, and mother. But after school tomorrow I should find a few hours to do it.

     It really takes time to eavesdrop, and is not something one person can do all the time. I will have to try writing an AI program that can parse through logs for me and filter out the bullshit. But AI programs are not something you can program well in a week or two despite what movies and books would lie to you about.

     Bob headed to my left side while I was in thought. Then Jack heads to my right for a flanking maneuver. This of course is the best way to do a two on one fight. Attack from your opponent's blind-spot. The two have always used this strategy on me. One holds me then the free one beats me.

     So if two foes are doing this to you how can you avoid it? The first and best method is to always keep one foe between you and the other opponent. Like a straight line. Why is this the best? Because only one man can attack you at the same time.

     So if you can't do this due to space or smart fighters, you have more options. The next being to fight with a corner or wall behind you. This however can also be a disadvantage to you. This limits the number of directions the attacks can come at you.

     The most effective but cowardly move is to just start running and hope you're faster than the two retards. But never run in a direction you are unaware of, or you can get pinned with pissed off men that had to chase you.

     The last and most effective method if you can't run, is to attack and make one of two things happen. First, instantly make one of the two men unable to fight, this can be tough. The second is to move one of your opponents into another opponent, by using things like shoulder-throws or dragging and pulling maneuvers.

     And with Bob predictably charging first like always, I choose Jujitsu just for this encounter.

     Bob's right arm has swung at me in a right-hook trying to distract me so he can grapple me with his left-hand. Jack is moving fast to my blindspot where he thinks I don't notice him.

     Now remember Jack is still suffering from 4 cracked-ribs I gave him. When fighting, try to remember your foes weaknesses and exploit them fully. There is only honor for the dead.

     Predicting his strategy, I used my left forearm to block his hooking forearm, and I instantly made a knife-hand strike into his left armpit, the arm he was going to follow up next with. My strike hit the nerves in his armpit temporarily numbing his left-arm enough to distract and ruin his follow up punch or grab.

     My left-hand I used to block his hook, then grabs and twists his wrist making an unpleasant dislocating crack, and my right hand swings under his right-arm for an over the shoulder-throw, sending Bob flying in the direction of Jack that was about to punch me.

     Jack had two options, to step out of Bob's path or catch him. So he backed a step back to avoid the large incoming Bob-sandbag.

     THUD! Now do remember as Bob gracefully was slammed on his back and butt, he in fact is landing on 'soft and gentle', parking-lot-asphalt, ouch.

     "AHHHH! Ugh-!"

    Bob gave a great yell while flying overhead, but his sudden-quiet when hitting, knocked the wind out of his lungs and he was stunned. Jack seeing me holding onto Bob's right arm decides to rush back in and hit me again.

     CRACK! Predicting this obvious move, I do a sudden jerk and twist of Bob's right arm, dislocating it from his shoulder-socket. This is easy with the knowledge of both Kung-Fu Grandmaster and Medicine Advanced.  

     With Bob in front of me and Jack, he could not easily charge me, but I used Bob as a fun martial arts street maneuver.

     With Bob under-me, I leap up high over his chest and let out a twin-double-kick into the incoming Jack!

     Thud Thud! And Jack staggered back as his arms were not powerful enough to fully block the dropkick.

     And this is only half the maneuver! As I am affected by gravity, I aim my right elbow downward in an attacking gesture and aim for the struggling Bob's chest.

     Thud! Crack! I am effectively doing a diving-elbow into his rib-cage, and due to the feeling I got from the impact of landing on this soft pillow, I confirmed at least two broken bones and possibly his sternum!

     I don't waste time on the out of battle Bob, and leap up to face the bewildered Jack who is now standing to defend himself.

     Remember the two lessons I talked about, the boxer's weakness and your foes weakness?! Here we go like Mario!

     Swoosh Thud! Dropping low on my left foot, I do a wide backwards-sweep like a dragons-tail, and l clipped Jack's two feet sending him painfully down on the road. He managed to not hit the back of his head on the hard-street, but it was already too late for him!

     As he fell, I was looming over him and using both of my knees to keep him from rolling, I delivered a flurry of four rapid punches!

     Thud Crack! Thud Crack! Thud Crack! Thud Crack! I threw four rapid punches in the exact four ribs I cracked in the bathroom stall, and I made sure they were fully broken this time, making his job impossible for a while. Life will be miserable for this bastard.

     I then get up fast to make sure Scott is not joining in on the fun and slowly move to Tina's side while adjusting my clothing to make sure I ripped nothing like buttons.

     Cheer! Clap Clap! The onlookers really loved that fight and many recorded it. I was fully committed and made it look like a stunt choreographed movie set fight.

     A few of the regulars that know I am so far undefeated in the downhills and saw this chanted a nickname for me, and it was kinda cool.

     "King of the Hill!"   "King of the Hill!"   "King of the Hill!"

     Tina with her eyes-squinted, took my arm and whispered.

     "Hmm? Yes, I was satisfied with your performance, so later I will reward you, my Dragon."

-

     Inside Scott's limo both Alex Renaldo and Ana Zi looked a bit speechless at the fight. Ana smiled and said.

     "Your little friend Scott is an idiot, even I can see he is amazing, fufu. I might even put him on my web."

     Alex agitated, said.

     "Hey you're my date, why are you looking at him, but I was surprised by his fighting. I think he is as good as me and Woo. I will need to not look down on him after-all. So for Tina to favor him like that is not without reason. Well time to find number 5 and provoke him."

     Ana looked at the man next to her and said.

     "Only my future husband can tell me who I can and can't play-with, so you know what it will take to be with me, Alex. If you're not willing to put up, then shut up. So just enjoy my company until you're committed."

     "I have to wait to give you the Number one spot till after this fight. I will marry you or Tina in that first wife position, so just wait for me. It won't be but a couple of months tops."

     "Well don't take too long, or I will seduce that kid. He will go somewhere I feel it. Plus he has some acting skills, I think he must have been his high-school drama star or something? And maybe he is taking University acting?"

     Alex then pulled Ana into his arms and began to passionately kiss her...
