[COMPLETED]The Chronicles of Training [SOLO/TRAINING]

The crowd of bystanders began to swell in number by the moment. To the curious bystanders in the back, the situation of the event could barely be made out in view. From the looks of things, a number of men could be seen laid on the ground, grumbling every so often. By the group of fallen men stood two very large very muscular figures on either side of a shorter, older man. On the other side stood a young man, no older than a teen, with arms folded and no indication of even a grin on his face.

"Are you sure boy? You've seen what these men can do. You still care to take on our challenge?" The two muscular men smirked arrogantly at the little twerp that stood before them. The boy wouldn't last even a minute with one of the two brothers, yet alone win. "It's alright father. Allow me to end this twerp. There's no need for more than one of us to waste our breath with him." One of the two large men stepped forward and cracked his knuckles confidently.

At the sight of only one of the brothers stepping forward Yushin could do nothing more than shake his head. "If you insist on taking me on alone, I won't stop you. Just be warned, arrogance and overconfidence is the folly of men." Ironically, the statement just made could have been reversed as well. What gave him the right to believe that he could take on even one of these giant. He was merely a child in the eyes of many and in every way shape and form, the goliath that stood before him appeared to outweigh him in all physical parameters. However, Yushin had observed the way the two brothers fought, and frankly he wasn't at all impressed. Their only asset was their weight. If at all their physical capabilities were snatched away from them, they could be dealt with quite easily.

"Okay boy, you know the rules," the man began, "all you have to do is incapacitate my son here. Knock him down or leave him immobile and you win."

It sounded simple enough. In fact, Yushin had been itching to try out a new technique for a while now. In theory, the idea was sound. On a couple occasions Yushin even studied the anatomy of the human body to further his knowledge for medical and combat purposes. In his search to progress his medical knowledge, Yushin was able to develop a theoretical technique to immobilize opponents, no matter how physically stronger they appeared to be. Loosening up the joints in his fingers a moment before the bout, Yushin gave the large man a quick scan with his eyes. There they are.

The father of the man indicated the match to begin and immediately the large man charged at Yushin. The man was strong yes, but his movement was sluggish and Yushin was able to easily sidestep away from the charge. Taking advantage of this opening, Yushin tightened the joints in his fingers and jammed them into the side of the man. Without taking a break, Yushin stabbed the man in the hip with his other hand and kept them there. Jungji, a technique that could immobilize an opponent as long as the joints remained locked into the target. It wasn't perfect. Yushin had to remain in close quarters to carry out this technique, however by immobilizing the side of a man, Yushin prevented the man from twisting his body to reach Yushin. He was trapped.

"Well then, it appears that I have immobilized you." He smiled.

Now both brothers had taken to the fray and charged at Yushin. Reacting quickly to the incoming attacks, Yushin jumped and dodged the attacks utilizing his light feet. The sluggish attacks of the two brothers left not much to be feared. Yushin could read almost every move that had come his way and as the two brothers continued to send swings of their fists at his way, Yushin merely sidestepped, jumped, and rolled away from the attacks. The exhcnage of these actions went on for quite a few minutes and eventually Yushin noticed the shortness of breath between the two brothers.

"They're going to give out soon." He noticed, and at the notice of his observations, Yushin proceeded to draw his geom. He would end it here. To his surprise however, one of the others unsheathed his sword as well and pointed it at the Sangju man. "Enough!" The two brothers charged forward once more with a newfound vigor and Yushin immediately noticed the shift of intensity in this rush. Quickly, he got into an ox stance and raised his geom to parry the incoming attack. The geom and sword clashed, and the strength of the clash left shivers down Yushin's arms. Satisfied with his parry, Yushin missed the fist coming to his side by the second brother. Connecting, Yushin was thrown away to the side a number of feet. Thanks to his ox stance, Yushin was able to remain standing. He clenched his side after the impact and checked for broken ribs. Sighing in relief, he found that his bones were fine.

He would have to do something. He would not be able to withstand another hit like that. Once again the two brothers rushed him, this time both brandishing swords. Once again, Yushin took and ox stance and parried the first sword with his geom. As expected, the second brother swiped at Yushin's side again with his sword, but this time Yushin was prepared. Freeing one of his hands, Yushin took hold of his hwando and parried the second sword [Neomgi II]. For the moment he was safe. Shaking off the two brothers, he jumped back quickly three times to put space between the him and the offenders.

The crowd at this time was extremely intrigued. The boy was faring quite well against the brutes and as the battle progressed, the men began to gamble on the outcomes of the joust.

The father of the two brothers and grunted at the current situation and barked at his sons. "He's just a fragile little punk! Take him down!" He had become fed up with the humiliation brought to him by this boy. Surely his sons could take down such a feeble brat. He had bred his sons to be natural warriors. Every time they had been able to bully the streets and get what they wanted. No matter what the foe, brute strength should always prevail! So why?! Why was this brat prevailing over this brute strength?! "Go all out! Crush this fool!"

Too late. Now that he knew how to counteract their attacks, Yushin didn't have much more to fear. After parrying both attacks, he made quick work of the two brothers. He began by jumping and kicking one of the two brothers in the gut. This sent the brother crashing into the other. Following up quickly so as to prevent the two from regathering themselves, Yushin took his geom and slammed the hilt into the temple of the first brother. With a loud clack the brother went crumbling to the floor unconscious.

"Now you next." He gave the second brother a sharp glare which contrasted greatly from his previous playful attitude. The second brother jumped to his feet, determined to put up a good fight. "Brat! I won't go down so easily!" The second brother swung his sword wildly at the smaller man, yelling madly as he did so. The sluggishness of the swings however left for many opportunities to avoid the brother's sword, and to his advantage, this left many openings for Yushin to exploit.

"So many openings! With every dodge, Yushin struck the second brother with blunt attacks. The muscle of the brother was quite thick and defined, but Yushin could definitely see that he attacks were taking effect. Eventually, he delivered one finals blow behind the brother's head and this left the second giant to crumble to the floor unconscious.

The crowed roar in approval! Men who had spectated this bout exchanged coins as the outcome of the fight came to fruition. The young white haired boy had won. "Good fight!" He could hear the crowd cheer. Yushin had figured that he should at least bow to the crowd, but this time, he found the gesture to be unnecessary. The bout was nothing to be proud of. Pride and glory were things that Yushin did not seek. Now, what would he do about the father?

The father seethed with anger at the humiliating loss dealt to him by this stranger. His sons had fought miserably, and now he was left alone to take on this boy. "Don't count your blessings yet lad! I happen to be-!" The father was cut short as the sword that he had drawn was knocked away from his hand. The man was shocked! where had the boy gone? Looking down, he realized that the boy had ducked under him and swiped his sword out of his hand with his sword. Cursing now, the father attempted to create space.....it never happened.

Yushin had been wanting to test out a particular technique for a while now, and he finally find an opportune moment to do so. Taking both his geom and his hwando, Yushin slashed at the man with both blades in a cross shape [[Cross Blade].] The father, who was too slow to react, fell to the floor, defeated and bleeding.

Sheathing his blade, Yushinwiped both his hands as a gesture of that things were finished and then faced the crowd. "You can all go home now! He yelled out. "I simply came to teach a few hooligans a lesson. With that, he picked up his belongings and walked away.
