The Black Swan Behind (Beauty of Fire)

Chapter 31: Fallen

Troy sprightly dodged, and his feet immediately kick TJ’s only standing foot which had not yet turned completely. But TJ was very agile with his thin body. He looked like he was about to fall, but his hands changed to support his body, and he turned around quickly. It made his two long legs hit Troy’s temples and cheekbones.

“Damn it! They are endless!” Ian muttered.

Martin laughed, then slammed a guy who was one and a half times bigger than him, “Let’s finish this quickly. I just remembered, my porn video is still downloading. My sister might see it.” His face looked a little worried.

“Stupid as*.” Ian muttered.

“Hurry up Troy!” Nico shouted at Troy who had just gotten up from the floor.

He touched his cheekbone which was bleeding from the kick of TJ’s expensive shoe.

Troy became even more annoyed that he had wanted a pair of black loafers like that all this time. But his father always said that he was not suitable to wear formal clothes. He is more suited to wearing workshop shoes or rubber boots. Stupidly, he was still agitated by his father’s words, even though he actually didn’t agree.

.....

“F*cking shoes!” With full speed, Troy immediately grabbed the collar of TJ’s shirt who was about to attack him again.

The good thing was, Troy could read the movements of TJ who seemed to keep targeting his face from the start. With the difference in weight and fighting style, The TJ guy was unlikely to target Troy’s very strong-legged stance. Because the strength of the Judo was on their legs. Trying to break Troy’s leg was like trying to break a concrete pillar. It wasn’t Troy’s leg that would be broken. It’s TJ’s leg that would be crushed instead.

TJ smoothly slipped from Troy’s grip. He immediately looked down and moved sideways to be able to stand on Troy’s side. He aimed for Troy’s body side. Brought his hand over Troy’s upper arm and gripped his head. Then, with his light body, he grabbed Troy’s thick neck and lifted his lower body up. TJ immediately hit his knee on Troy’s face.

All members of The North Vikings were almost exhausted. They were already battered, only a few of the strongest were still in battle with Ian, Martin, and Frank.

Ian was aware of Troy’s condition. He thought that guy would easily break TJ’s bones like a toothpick. But it seemed that the skinny guy, who was defeated by Ogre, the leader of the Ladger group, has become very strong now. He wasn’t just a tall, skinny guy who was good at acrobatic and oratory anymore. But he had become a real fighter.

Blood dripped on the cold floor. Emma who had been watching all the battles in front of her eyes blinked stiffly. Indeed, of all the fights, the one that was the fiercest was Troy against TJ. The two of them were extremely powerful group leaders.

But if calculated correctly, we could say that Troy was stronger than TJ. Just think about it. Troy have to defeat TJ in the middle of the attacks of the other The North Vikings group’s members. Like what was Martin said, they’re standing in a wasp’s nest.

Nobody knew who will win the fight. Both Troy and TJ. The two of them looked down with their faces covered by the shadow of their messy hair. But the dripping blood showed who was about to fall.

3, 2, 1.

The tall, skinny guy in the black shirt, slumped forward. His nose and mouth kept bleeding.

What happened earlier was very fast. Emma always remembered Jonas’s words.

‘In a fight, strength is not always the determinant of victory. That’s why there is such a thing as self-defence. That’s why we still have to train, not just build muscles and strength only. Technique in fighting is very important. Even a sparrow can beat a big bear by pecking its eyeballs.’

Troy wasn’t an ordinary fighter. It’s not just his muscles, body weight, and strength that have been trained. During the fight in the arena and the streets, Troy always learned the movements of his opponent. He had faced many types of men and varied ways of knocking them down. A guy like TJ, was not a proper one-on-one match for a Troy Roner. Because he must be lost.

Judo fighters do rely on the strength of their legs. But that doesn’t mean their hands are useless.

Troy understood and realized clearly that speed was very important in fighting.

Indeed, because of his body shape, his body movements were slower than TJ’s. However, he was able to get around this well by predicting TJ’s attack pattern, which he thought was very easy to read. So, Troy would move one step before TJ moved. And stupidly, it was not realized by TJ, who continued to attack based on his anger.

Once TJ jumped up like a monkey to bang his knee on Troy’s face. The guy had prepared his right fist, which he had deliberately hidden on his right body right side, when TJ was too focused on attacking him from the left. Before TJ’s knee touched Troy’s face, he pointed his Upper-cut from below and hit directly at TJ’s lower jaw.

Maybe the guy with thin eyebrows didn’t expect his attack would be missed, and instead got a heavy blow that made his entire jaw go numb. Even the blow slipped on the bridge of his small nose as well.

The fall of TJ indicates who would be coming home with the winning medal. As it should be, Jita Kyoei was invincible. Whether they were dead or still operating, they were like troops that have risen from the grave. Jita Kyoei will shake his enemy’s knees.

“This is the beginning.. You asked for it..” TJ mumbled while coughing.

He mourned all the members of his group who had been scattered on the floor like dying chickens. This sight made TJ very mad. He had been honing his skills for years, but still lost to such a small group. And again, the work he thought was almost done, turned out to be messed up by that damn group.

In fact, it was Jita Kyoei who came like a group of lowly intruders into The North Viking’s lair. But with this number of members, they still lost.

“This means war, Troy.” TJ continued again. Even though he couldn’t hold his head up anymore.

Troy stood in front of TJ with a straight face. He scanned the surroundings with his eyes. It was a sight he hadn’t seen in a very long time. It was a sight he didn’t want to see again. How long would they have to play around in this kind of environment?

“We will see,” Troy replied. Then he took a deep breath before turning his back. “I told you, I didn’t want to make a fuss. You’re the one who left me no choice.” he continued.

The guy glanced at Emma who was still watching him silently. The girl glanced at TJ who finally gave up by closing his eyes. It looked like he fainted.

“Come on. I’m sick of being here.” Troy said as he walked out of the building.

Emma carried Calvin who was limping with the crutch method. She was also assisted by Ian.

“You can wear my jacket,” Nicko tossed his baseball jacket at Calvin, who had no idea where his shirt was.

“Thanks.” Said the limping guy.

Calvin removed his arm from Emma’s shoulder. He preferred to hold on to Ian, who was clearly more able to withstand the weight of his already weak body.

Finally, they had arrived at the metal gate where they left all the motorcycles. The seats of their motorcycle were already occupied by the light snow that fell that night.

“Thank God, the bike is fine,” Emma muttered. She remembered what happened to Calvin’s motorcycle at that time.

“For now..” Nicko said.

Emma looked at him questioningly, “Oh..” She took off the glasses from her face and gave it to him, “Thank you.”

Nicko took his glasses back, “You’re welcome.”

“First of all, Shouldn’t we need to talk about this?” Calvin’s words stopped the activities of the guys who wanted to get on their motorcycle.

“Oh.. By the way, where’s your motorcycle?” asked Emma.

“Looks like it has been thrown into the sea by them,” Calvin answered with an innocent face.
