< Bullying is too good at martial arts (23) >
Pug-.
Perok-.
“Hey Cha Moogyeol, are you practicing your back kick again? Don’t do that!”
“How are you? It’s cool!”
“Oh, anyway, I don’t listen to you dirty words!”
The days when the late Cha Mu-gyeol was still playing as a player for RCF.
He would always hone his skills with Im Jin-soo.
What Mugyeol showed particular interest in was Lim Jin-soo’s splendid kicking skills.
Taekwondo’s kicks were so splendid that anyone could admire them, but their utilization in actual MMA was low.
If there are kicks that can be used, are the front kicks for check and the bottom round kicks?
However, Mugyeol kicked back at the punching bag whenever he had a chance.
The back kick is one of the less utilized techniques that takes a long time to activate among Taekwondo kicks.
It was always Im Jin-soo’s job to denigrate such integrity.
“Hey, no matter how much you practice, you won’t be able to use it.”
“You don’t know about fighting. Haven’t you seen Vitor Belfort? You knocked out Luke Rockhold with the top back kick!”
“That’s possible because it’s Vito. He can play the ground game even when he’s kicking. But what if you fall over?”
“Okay.”
“Can you do jiu-jitsu as well as Beato? So why don’t you practice?”
“Ah, anyway, I’m twisted.”
Despite Im Jin-soo’s nagging, Mu-gyeol did not stop practicing kicking.
Perok-.
Perok-.
Could it be because of that?
The flawless kick motion became more and more concise, and the change was enough to catch Im Jin-soo’s eyes.
‘I did get better at kicking.’
From a Taekwondo-style round kick that aims at the side of the head with a large trajectory, to an MMA-style back round kick that pushes the body with a small radius.
“How are you? Can’t this be used in MMA as well?”
“Hmm, the motion is still a bit big.”
“That, too, has an answer.”
“which?”
“I threaten with a punch first and then go into a combination.”
“A punch combination?”
What the late Mugyeol devised was a simple but powerful combination.
First, focus the opponent’s guard on the head with a face punch.
Then, throw a jab with your left hand and use that rotational force to kick back with your right foot.
The moment the opponent, wary of the left-handed jab, guards the face, the back kick explodes in the abdomen.
“how is it? If you hit it with a combination like this, the range is said to be longer.”
“Hmm, not bad.”
“Try it out in a match. If your back kick is destructive, you’ll probably get a one-hit KO, right?”
“Is this a combination made for me?”
“What can you do?”
It was admirable to have a younger brother who thought of him, but Im Jin-soo shook his head.
“Hey, this isn’t too much dude.”
“hmm? why?”
“Think about it. I’m a water puncher. I know for sure that my fists are for check anyway, so who will be able to fish for my fists?”
“oh. That’s right.”
“Isn’t it a bit like admitting it too quickly?”
“Hehe, don’t be sad.”
Saying that, Mugyeol shook the punching bag once again with a powerful back kick.
Perok-.
“Because someday I will definitely use it.”
“…”
“I will prove it. My brother’s kick is Jintung. Surely there must be a way to save it?”
“okay. Thank you for your words.”
“Even just words? This brother still doesn’t know me. When did you see me talking empty words?”
However, the innocence of boasting eventually ended in empty words.
Mugyeol was completely paralyzed before he even tried that wonderful combination.
After that, Im Jin-soo fell into a perfect ‘professional rice cake’.
I had completely lost my motivation until ‘Real Fighter’ started.
However, a new tea flaw has appeared.
Im Jin-soo saw a piece of hope again.
A talent to digest anything as it is taught.
In addition, a nuclear fist resembling a dead tea mugyeol.
‘If it’s you, you might be able to reach a place where the dead Mugyeol couldn’t climb!’
Im Jin-soo’s heart as he watched the no-result and Han Dae-geun’s match was just worried.
The moment Moo Kyul got hit, I almost screamed.
This child shouldn’t get hurt.
You have to build a successful career without any mishaps.
However, Mugyeol chose to face the champion rather than give up.
Surprisingly, from the second round, he blocked Han Dae-geun’s tackle and even made an effective hit.
‘It’s really crazy!’
Seeing this, Im Jin-soo realized that he was a fighter that he could not help.
No matter how dangerous it is, if you are a fighter, your heart will inevitably boil in this situation.
With only 20 seconds remaining, Lim Jin-soo gave up and cheered for Innocent.
“No, save your feet–!!”
However, Han Dae-geun threw the last tackle as if he would not even give it a chance.
A two-legged takedown that lowers your stance and grabs your lower body in an instant.
But flawless concentration was the best.
I already knew how to defend Han Dae-geun’s wrestling.
Tuong-.
Before the lower body is caught, the center of gravity is quickly pulled back and sprawl.
Again, the takedown tactic failed, but Han Dae-geun was not taken aback.
‘I already know that there are sprulls.’
‘But then finally comes the fist!’
As Han Dae-geun expected, Moogyeol recovered his standing and threw a jab with his left hand.
The perfect punch timing was obvious.
The timing of the first effective hit against Han Dae-geun.
‘That’s right!’
If you calmly block your face with a guard and now hit only one counter-.
But at that moment.
Pereouk-.
“Heuk-!?”
A technique that no one expected hit Daegeun Han’s torso.
A back kick followed by a left-handed jab followed by a full body rotation.
No, maybe a ‘spinning back kick’ more suitable for MMA.
‘What the fuck…!’
Han Dae-geun gritted his teeth and endured the downing, but Im Jin-soo and the audience cheered in unison.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!
Fantastic punch-kick combinations no one could have imagined.
Right before the end of the second round, a powerful link hit the champion in the stomach, forcing him to retreat.
At the same time, a hologram window appeared in Mugyeol’s eyes.
[Effective hit 3/3]
‘It’s done!’
[Oh my God! Cha flawless contestant–!! Another weird thing!! Combination this time! This is a very sharp combination attack!! This is a round kick that has never been shown before!!]
[But it is not an authentic Taekwondo style round kick!! An improved kick for MMA!! In other words, it’s more like a ‘spinning back kick’!!]
[The hard heel part hit Daegeun Han’s ribs properly!! Look at the champ’s face contorted in pain and anger!!]
“This bastard is really…!”
endured enough
Even if I drink it now, my stomach doesn’t feel refreshed.
How long had I felt such open anger!
Han Dae-geun glared at Mugyeol with bloodshot red eyes as he approached.
Mugyeol had to move, but his feet did not come off the canvas.
‘Fucked.’
Now his body didn’t even have the stamina left to take a single step.
But this time the sound of the gong saved his life.
Sometimes-.
[The round ends here!! In the 2nd round, the 2nd round contestant performed well with good punches and kicks!!]
[Amazing!! I hit 3 effective hits on the champ, Han Dae-geun, a contestant!! Even though Han Dae-geun suddenly jumped into the game, this would be quite humiliating for him too!!]
[Audience is in a festive mood!! Everyone is chanting Cha Moo Gyeol’s name!! This is the moment when RCF’s new heavyweight star is born!!]
* * *
Round 1 10-8 Round 2 9-10.
The official score was 19-18, in favor of Han Dae-geun, but no one cared about the result.
Jang Young-gil’s expression hardened.
It’s not like you accepted this demonstration game just to make a decision match.
Han Dae-geun, who had returned to his side, had the face of a criminal.
“I’m sorry, Chairman.”
“…Daegeun, is the ribs okay?”
“!”
“Go to the hospital quickly.”
“Chairman…”
“Is this show more important than your body? go to my car I’ll tell the knight.”
“…thank you!”
Despite the pain in his ribs, Han Dae-geun bowed his head 90 degrees in front of him.
However, Chairman Jang Young-gil could not feel comfortable.
The reason he sent Han Dae-geun to the hospital instead of interrogating him is because he knows his residual value.
“Chairman, are you okay?”
Woo Hyeon-cheol cautiously spoke to him, but Chairman Jang Young-gil laughed instead of answering.
“Quack.”
A laugh mixed with self-deprecation and pessimism that comes from a deep place far from a pleasant laugh.
The low and dreary sound made even Woo Hyeon-chul, the head of the department, get goosebumps all over his body.
“…President?”
“It’s a fucking dog-like situation.”
It was indeed a long time since Chairman Jang Young-gil uttered such a raw language.
‘I have to organize the situation first.’
While Chief Woo Hyeon-chul came to the fore and quickly finished the tournament and live broadcast.
Reporters were scrambling to cover Mugyeol.
Of course, two reporters from ‘Brawlers’ ran out first.
“senior! let’s go! Shut up and this feels like a headline, right?”
“Is it just a headline? Even fighting groups in Korea, China, Japan, Russia, the Caucasus, and the Middle East are noteworthy news. Asia’s strongest group, RCF’s middleweight champion, was hit by a back kick from Goppiri in a live demonstration match!”
“Oh, it was really amazing! How could you do such a back kick!”
“That’s right. Is this the influence of mentor Im Jin-soo?”
“To call it a Taekwondo kick, it was concise and had a direct impact, right?”
“that’s right. It is a kick often shown by elite kickers such as Israel Adesanya, Jon Jones, Edson Barboza, and Steven Thompson. Perhaps Han Dae-geun endured with grit?”
“I thought it would make me sick just to hear it! Han Dae-geun is also amazing.”
“But what’s even greater is that it’s flawless no matter what anyone says.”
“of course! By the way, can I come in without a senior reporter’s pass?”
“You bastard, aren’t we acquainted with Mugyeol? Of course, I was blocked by some strange kid at the time.”
“Are you a weird kid? i was cute Senior, the only thing left behind is the word ‘auntie’…”
“No dude! Wherever I look, I’m a lady!”
Journalists were more accurately aware of the public demand than anyone else.
After this live broadcast, people will be curious about Cha Moo Gyeol.
Every single word of his face should be recorded!
Reporters quickly crowded in front of the waiting room, but no one was allowed to enter.
This is because the flawless mentor, Im Jin-soo, was firmly blocking his path.
“go! No interviews!”
“Stop that, just one word please! Are you inside Cha Moo Gyeol!?”
“Go back baby! If you keep doing this, you’re doing it in self-defense!?”
“yes? I didn’t do anything, so what kind of self-defense…”
“Huh? There’s a Han Dae-geun!”
“Oh, Dae-geun Han!”
The moment the reporters caught up in Lim Jin-soo’s lies rushed toward the tunnel.
Im Jin-soo slammed the door to the waiting room and let out a long sigh.
“Whoa-.”
As soon as he regained his composure, what filled his heart was gratitude.
Im Jin-soo was only grateful to Cha Moo-gyeol.
Thank you enough for fighting so well.
He even taught a champion who had fought three times and lost all three of them with great kicking skills.
Moreover, that combination is a skill that the late Cha Mu-gyeol practiced.
I know it can’t be, but Im Jin-soo kept seeing the two flawless images overlapping.
‘Could he really be reincarnated?’
I tried to imagine something absurd for a moment, but then I shook my head.
‘What nonsense.’
In any case, for now, I am just grateful.
However, the words of thanks came out of Mugyeol’s mouth first.
“Thank you bro.”
“hmm? What suddenly?”
Of course I was grateful.
If it wasn’t for Im Jin-soo, I wouldn’t have even thought of using the back kick.
It was purely thanks to past training that I was able to make the third effective hit at the last minute.
But Mugyeol couldn’t tell him the truth.
“…just everything.”
“Thank you dude. I’m more grateful.”
Outside, the MC was making a comment about finishing all the schedules for ‘Real Fighter’.
It seemed like everything was over.
“Whoa, it’s finally over.”
However, there was still something unfinished in front of the flawless.
[Complete the fight mission ‘The Skirmish’.]
[250 points will be given as a reward!]
As expected, the hologram window should have ended here.
However, a new message that he had never seen before appeared before his eyes.
[Accumulated 300 points for the first time.]
[Do you want to take on the first ‘Challenge Mission’?]
