Hitori No Shita - The Outcast (一人之下)

What a letdown.

I wondered what kind of person I'd be facing,

but I wasn't expecting a lone little girl.

If you're not going to tell me where Chou Soran is, either,

I have no use for you.

Yeah, sure, but I still have to stop you.

Here I come.

But if we executives ended up like this...

There's no one left in the Tengekai who can defeat that woman.

That woman...

Her unbelievable strength...

It goes completely beyond the level than we know.

Even if the president fights her personally,

there's still a chance he could lose.

Our reputation will be ruined.

There's no reason to worry.

Did you forget that my dad recently invited a high-level martial artist here?

He's here today.

He's...

strong.

He's no ordinary man.

Y-You can't be serious.

He's fighting that woman all by himself?

Ja Jongu of Shousei. He's quite the man...

I can definitely see why the president chose him.

So he's on a completely different level than us.

That last attack... I blocked it, but my body's numb.

This is...

Little girl, the fact that you fought me was the end of your luck.

The ki surrounding his hand is almost like flowing water.

Even if it doesn't hit me directly,

does my body still feel the impact on the inside?

He forms his ki like flowing water

and wraps it around his fist to strike his opponent.

Then his ki resonates with the water that

makes up 60% of the opponent's body,

and damages their internal organs, in a nutshell.

How does my Honryuushou feel?

Hold on a sec.

Huh?

I feel all dizzy and bubbly.

I'll do something about my brain, so just...

What a strange little girl.

That should have been plenty effective.

Why won't she fall over?

I'm ready now.

How the hell does your head work?

This isn't good.

I can see through her moves easily, but she's ridiculously tough.

The fact that Honryuushou doesn't win with a single blow is its only flaw.

Ja Jongu's serious now.

Was that secret weapon your trump card?

They're no ordinary secret weapon.

They're Hakuryuusui.

He's controlling them telekinetically.

Does he have the same kind of powers as Jo San?

What are you looking at?

That's amazing.

I can't believe he can control them telekinetically like that.

No, that's not quite right.

He can't attack this precisely with telekinesis alone.

This power is pretty rare.

Ja Jongu's power is that he's an arms master!

Arms master?

Young Master, how is that different from telekinesis?

It's completely different.

Many weapons have been used in our country since ancient times,

but arms masters are special

because they can use weapons as though they're a part of their bodies.

They start using secret arts when they're still young,

and keep up harsh training every day so that they can control

their weapon with their own ki.

Because of that, their ki surrounds their weapons,

so they can use the weapons like they're an extension of their bodies.

Of course, you can move things with telekinesis.

However, its accuracy is nowhere near that of an arms master.

Since they use weapons like they're an extension of their own bodies,

people long ago would be in awe, and called them "sword hermits."

How about we bring this to an end?

Die.

You're a tough little girl.

I'm impressed you made it this far against me.

I'm starting to think it'd be a shame to crush you.

You, too.

It's been a while since a fight gave me so much trouble.

Trouble? You sound pretty confident.

You make it sound like you still have something up your sleeve.

I don't really have anything up my sleeve.

Kenken said that if I wore these

strange things on my feet, he'd come back, so I unwillingly wore them.

But I don't think I can beat you if I'm wearing them.

I guess I have no choice.

I was planning to keep these on until he came back...

This is all your fault.

Oh? You think you can defeat my Hyappoken?

How interesting. I'm in.

All right. I win.

Wait a sec! You totally just jumped the gun!

People usually say "start" or "begin"!

Oh? Is that how this works?

Well, whatever. The real fight starts now.

You ready? Let's do this!

The result won't change, no matter how many times we do this.

Blood? Did I accidentally hit his teeth?

It doesn't matter.

I'll make it so you can't open that noisy mouth of yours ever again.

Impossible! He deflected it?

Does this mean he's figured out where my Hyappoken will hit?

Or is he still able to use Kinkouju?

No, wait!

That wasn't Kinkouju.

That's impossible. It was just a coincidence.

How about this?!

He's completely stopping it.

Each time I hit a blind spot...

It appears he's using something like raihou to block my attacks,

but he wouldn't be able to block them all if he didn't see through my attack.

What is this technique?

Looks like I've won the bet, miss.

Okay, I'll be leaving now, like we promised.

Bye. See you again sometime.

Wait, Chou Soran.

What is it?

You're not going to tell me you changed your mind, are you?

Don't underestimate me. I never go back on my word.

If you want to leave, do as you please.

But how about you fill me in on what that technique was?

I've never seen such an interesting technique.

Oh, that?

I call it "Little White Bug."

It's a technique I developed with my own adjustments after learning raihou.

I thought I'd use it at the Raten Taishou.

I see.

Little White Bug, eh?

The next time I see you, I'll defeat that technique.

What are you staring at? Hurry up and go.

If you take too long, I may just change my mind.

Huh? What are you laughing at?!

You sound pretty relieved about losing that bet.

You didn't want to actually date me, did you?

Well, see ya.

Did he... purposely say those things in order to make me mad?

Oh, yeah. Can I ask you something?

Your father aside, do you care about me leaving here?

Who would care about that?

I just tried to like you for the sake of my family.

Yeah, I can't feel that way about you, either.

I've got to find a girl who really likes me.

Someone who doesn't care about the kitaigen style,

and who isn't conniving or anything...

Most importantly, someone who cares about me above all.

I hope I can find a girl like that.

Impossible!

Did just taking off her high heels

change her movements this much?

P-President!

My dad came out here personally?

So this is her?

Damn it, why? Now Fuu Chonhao showed up.

If I don't hurry up and defeat her, my reputation will be ruined.

I have to do this!

Damn it. What's with her?
