Without anyone by their side, Shinra, who had been learning all the martial arts used by the fighters of Katahara, looked at Kure Raian, who showed himself, clearly had been waiting for him.
"You are so patient, Raian-san."
"It can't be helped~! You are worth the wait, after all~! I can't wait to see your crying and begging face, so I am patiently waiting for you~!"
"Well, that's true." Shinra nodded at Raian's words. "If I am at my perfect condition, you know you will lose, so you are waiting till I am beat up and exhausted, right?" He had been fighting all the fighters of Katahara from the beginning till nightfall. He spent all his break days training to learn their fighting styles, martial arts, and skills. Even if his physical ability improved through daily discipline and talent, he undoubtedly didn't have unlimited stamina, so he was quite spent and exhausted.
When his training was over, Shinra thought to go back, enjoy the food prepared by his women, then sleep peacefully till tomorrow's match, but while a plan was easy to make, whether it could be implemented was another matter since an element of unexpected usually existed such as Kure Raian in front of him.
What was his impression of this man?
Boring.
Yes, Shinra had never had much of an interest in Raian. This guy was probably the most talented Kure Clan member in this generation, yet he lacked what he sought the most in this world.
Martial arts.
Unlike the others who trained their techniques, wills, and everything to their limit, and unleashed their potential despite their limitation, Raian only relied on his talent to stand where he was.
No martial arts, technique, or anything; only a pure power that came from being a member of the Kure Clan.
If Shinra had to say, Raian was like that arrogant guy in the Uchiha Clan, who was proud due to the awakening of Sharingan, but never tried to improve.
Their fate?
Well, they were all killed by Itachi and Obito, two psychopaths of the Uchiha.
Still, the talents of the Kure Clan were good, especially when all of them had an innate ability known as the "Removal," an ability to consciously remove the brain's limits on an individual's muscular strength output.
While regular humans are naturally unable to access more than 30% of their body's muscular strength (except in times of extreme duress), the Kure are bred to access a greater amount of their latent muscular strength. That being said, the percentage they have access to varies from individual to individual.
As the most talented within this generation, Raian could use 100% of the Removal perfectly, which resulted in him being one of the most powerful fighters in terms of strength that was comparable to Wakatsuki Takeshi, who was born with superhuman strength, or Julius Reinhold, who developed perfect muscles with the power of German science.
With that physical ability alone, even if Raian didn't master any martial arts, it was enough for him to massacre most of the people that annoyed him, including Shinra!
"Talk all you want, Brat! I am the strongest!"
Without even using his "Removal" technique that allowed him to access 100% of his strength, Raian charged forward toward Shinra, ready to teach this brat a lesson for being so cocky!
Raian believed that he was the strongest, and he wouldn't allow anyone to be on top of him!
Those who annoyed him, those who thought that they were better than him, everyone, everyone, everyone, all of them would beg for mercy, crying as Raian killed them in their most pathetic state!
Only, even though Shinra no longer had stamina, it didn't mean that he had become weaker. Instead, this pressure, when he was at his lowest, as he faced the strongest, made him grow stronger!
Relying on his pure strength, Raian smashed Shinra, but he missed, as Shinra made an unexpected movement by crouching down like a turtle, which made him off balance, and swept, causing him to fall to the dirty ground with his face.
Yet, even so, it didn't stop him from trash-talking.
"What's with that position?! Are you begging me to apologize?!"
When Shinra swept Raian, his position was akin to "dogeza," which led Raian to believe that Shinra was begging. However, when he said those words, Raian saw that Shinra's finger was grasping his own.
Raian felt a creepy feeling, then, as expected, when Shinra tried to break that finger bone, it made him move subconsciously to stop it, but by following that reflex to prevent his broken finger, Shinra threw his body, and his face hit and smashed against the surface of the hard tree!
BANG!
As the tree shook, Raian's face was bloody, his nose bone broken, and his teeth fell out.
The impact and shock that came from the combination of Raian's physical ability, reflex, gravity, and Shinra's technique made Raian's face bloody and injured severely as his head was dizzy, but this wasn't over since—
Crack!
The bone on his index finger was twisted by Shinra!
"DON'T GET COCKY, YOU LITTLE SHIT!"
Yet, despite his disfigured, bloody face and broken finger and nose, Raian shouted all of his might, ready for a counter, smashing Shira's face to pulp!
"It's you, who is cocky."
Shinra kicked the back of Raian's face on the tree, making Raian's face almost flat.
Painful, it was so painful, yet Raian, who was used to the pain, still showed his cruel smile, never intending to let go of Shinra!
"BASTARD!"
Removal!
Raian's face became that of a demon as his skin turned a dark shade of red-violet with bulging blood vessels on the surface!
"You think you have won? I'm going to kill you and rape you—"
CRACK! BOOOM! CRACK! BOOOM! CRACK! BOOOM!
Before Raian finished his words, Shinra brutally tortured Rain, twisting his bones, smashing him on any surface from the rock, earth, tree, gravel, and many other things in the forest.
206.
This was the total number of bones in the human body, and Shinra broke all Raian's bones, giving him the torment that this guy had never thought before, humiliating him, and broke all of the nerves within him, which made him unable to see, taste, feel, smell, leaving on his sense of hearing so Raian could hear his voice and sense of pain, which made him wish to die than living then—
"You said too much."
As Raian's bones were all broken, Shinra tied Shinra's limbs together, which he shaped into Rubik's cube as he looked at this cocky guy coldly. If Raian was just provoking him, then it was all fine, and he would just continue to fight him, but if Raian involved those who were important to him, then he would let this guy go.
Grasping Raian's face that was full of tears and horror, then slowly everything about him was taken and devoured by Shinra.
As his eyes closed, Shinra gained the traits of Raian and robbed everything about him, then killing him.
"Come out."
"....."
As no one seemed to move, Shinra just turned his head as he threw Raian's body, which had become that husk, thin, old, before throwing it away, showing his crimson eyes in the direction of the people, who watched his fight.
Slowly, Erioh and his group emerged from their hiding places and then knelt.
"We're sorry. We won't do it again. We will make sure of it."
Shinra stared at the group of the Kure Clan for a moment before he walked away.
"Don't make me kill all of your family."
No one moved, just groveled, till even if Shinra had completely gone, as this was the only way for them to calm their fears and terror.
