Chapter fourty-seven.
José sits in his corner.
José: "Dang. I can't even breath in this condition aswell as my judgement being shut down doesn't help me at all."
José leaned in his seat as Renjiro stood in his corner.
Coach Eiji: "sit down Renjiro!"
Eiji said wiping Renjiro's face with a towel.
Renjiro: "I'm good now coach. No need to worry."
Renjiro said as he stretched, he seemed to be as good as round one as they move to round eight.
Ref: "corners out!"
The corners leave, José and Renjiro stand in the middle of the ring José's guard like a turtle as Renjiro bounced on his toes excitement pumping though him.
José: "(Does he even feel tired?)"
José wondered as Renjiro stretched.
Renjiro: "(Let's see if he can knock me down this round!)"
Renjiro smiled.
Ref: "box!"
The ref said as José didn't backstep.
Renjiro pushed in gently throwing a couple jabs, then a right straight as José went to cross counter Renjiro flaired his elbow making José's arm go off course.
Jose: "(What?)"
In a flash of a TV Camera Renjiro threw a right uppercut landing on José which knocked him out.
Renjiro walked away without raising a arm.
Ref: "one! Two! Three! Four!"
José rolled around a bit but then started grabbing the ropes.
Ref: "Seven!"
José stood up.
Ref: "box!"
Renjiro leaped in swaying from side to side as he completely threw away his guard drawing José into a close range brawl.
Renjiro started first throwing hooks and uppercuts as José retaliated back, but Renjiro held his feet down.
Renjiro: "(Come on! Man vs man!)"
Renjiro threw each punch with a snarl as José jabbed back with a calm expression.
Aito: "Renjiro will lose!"
Aito said as Toruu shook his head.
Toruu: "we don't know. After all, both of them burned through their judgements. All that's left is for them to see who has more stamina I'm the last four rounds."
Toruu said seemingly relaxed.
José's body started going limp as Renjiro continues the assault until José is knocked out and falls onto the mat.
Ref: "one! Two! Three! Four!"
José lays on the ground.
Ref: "eight! Nine!"
The bell rings and saves José.
Ref: "Time!"
The ref called as José's corner helps him stand and sits him in his corner.
José: "(was I knocked out?)"
José wondered as he drank water.
Renjiro: "this fights finally picking up!"
Renjiro bounced on his toes.
Coach Eiji: "(didn't want Renjiro turning into those devil freaks like Toruu... but.) Go get em Renjiro Knock him out this round."
Coach Eiji said giving Renjiro water.
Renjiro: "yeah."
Renjiro said drinking the water.
Ref: "round Nine! Box!"
Renjiro dashed into the high guard backfooted José who held his shell block.
Renjiro threw a couple quick hooks then a Backfoot to slip José's straights and a retaliated haymaker which didn't land obviously.
Renjiro slipped one of José's hooks and threw a uppercut making José stumble but as Renjiro dashed in his judgement disabled making him instantly out of breath as José threw a major counter attack knocking Renjiro down.
Ref: "one! Two! Three! Four! Five! Six! Seven!"
Renjiro stands slowly.
Ref: "Doctor!"
The doctor walks in to check Renjiro.
Announcer: "this is never good! The match may end here!"
The doctor tells the ref something and the ref nodded.
Ref: "Last round."
The ref said as round Nine only had a minute left.
Renjiro: "no."
Renjiro's whole world crumpled as his chance to be A-3 fades.
José sighs knowing he's winning by points so there's no need to be threatened anymore.
Ref: "box!"
Renjiro is torn between rushing or accepting the loss.
Aito: "Renjiro..."
Aito said watching as his friend can no longer have a A class chance.
Toruu: "You really want him to lose?"
Toruu asked leaning back.
Aito: "no."
Aito said looking down.
Toruu: "then activate your judgement give him a boost."
Toruu said giving Aito hope.
Aito: "Your right! Ryuzah no Enrai..."
Aito said but it didn't work.
Toruu: "what's wrong?"
Toruu asked.
Aito: "I already used it earlier..."
Aito said as Toruu watched the match end.
Renjiro pushed in and threw massive hooks breaking José's guard but then Renjiro threw a uppercut that José did at the same time knocking them both out at the same moment.
Ref: "one! Two!"
Renjiro lays flat on his face as José stumbled backwards into a corner.
Ref: "three! Four!"
José grabbed the ropes and started pulling himself up.
Ref: "five! Six!
Renjiro started lifting himself.
Ref: "seven!"
As José gets onto shaking legs he falls back onto the mat not able to get up, Renjiro slowly stands up his legs keeping him from falling
Ref: "eight! Nine!"
Renjiro threw up blood which instantly called the match off.
Ref: "it's over!"
The ref waved his hands as José won the match. Even through Renjiro could stand.
Announcer: "This can't be! José wins the match! In round Nine by TKO! this is gonna be majorly controversial!"
The Announcer said as coach eiji and Antonio jumped into the ring and helps Renjiro stand.
Aito stands in shock, but so does Yoten and Shindou.
All three clenched their fist which Aito's brimmed with Lightning, Shindou's with Flames and Yoten's with black smoke.
Renjiro...
