HHHHRRRRRRRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHH!!!

MUDADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADADA!!!

HAAH! DOHRYAA!

———————————————————————————————————–

Hmhmhm…You two are good…now then…

Show me more of your POWER!

D-Dammit! He’s on a whole nother level of tough!

Nothin’ we try is working on him!

Grr…That’s to be expected of The Great Gozu: Ultimate Wrestler

It’s 2-on-1 right now…but he’s barely even fazed!

Oh? If you’re tired then you may as well give in now!

AW HELL NO! I don’t give into strong dudes so easily! I ain’t throwing in the towel till you’re ON THE GROUND!

Quitting is not an option for NEKOMARU NIDAAAAAAAIIIIII!

———————————————————————————————————–

*pant* *pant* *heavy breathing*

*pant* *pant* *cough* *wheeze*

*heavy sighing* Well…that should be enough for now…

Impressive as ever you two. This was certainly a unique experience…

Here! I brought energy drinks for the two of you…

AHA! Thank you! I shall accept it with gratitude!

Yeah! Same! Thanks!

Aw Man! There are a lot of strong people in this school! Sakura, Peko, Tenko, Juzo… and definitely Coach Nekomaru…

But you take the damn cake Gozu! I ain’t struggled this much with a fight in a while!

Agreed. I’ve trained many professional athletes and wrestlers, some of which have turned out just as strong as you…but you’re one of a kind…

Also, despite how you look, your a surprisingly nice guy…Not that I expected you to be horrid though.

Well, that’s to be expected…

Due to the origin of my wrestling persona, as well as my intimidating appearance, many assume I’m the opposite of gentle.

The two of you are probably curious as to how I obtained the strength I possess…but I don’t know if I can really explain that…

I don’t really care ‘bout where people get their strength, just if they have it…

And also if they’re willing to use that strength to go toe to toe with me in a fight!

Hmhmhm…Same as ever…Not that that’s a problem…

I feel the same though, about not caring about your origin. No matter your background, there’s no denying your strength…

I mean, you can easily hold your own against Juzo Sakakura and Sakura Ogami! Taking on the two of us at once must be mere child’s play to you!

I always thought with enough will, anyone could be beaten…but…

Hey now! Enough of that!

*Thud* *Thud*

Yowch!

ACK!

Apologies…but hear me out for a moment

It is true that I have the strength to break a knife with a sore arm, and maybe I could smash through to another floor using my shoulder. And you two…

The Ultimate Team Manager and the Ultimate Gymnast…Truly they are not talents suited for combat…

But so what?

That doesn’t stop you two from pursuing what your heart desires, right?

The two of you, Akane especially, are always looking for a challenge, and you don’t let anyone stop you.

Eventually, you’ll confront that challenge and finally overcome it…

That’s what being a Hope’s Peak Academy Student is all about!

Y-Yeah…It’s just as you say…

Sometimes I forget that…

Hm…not only are you a good fighter, you’re a great teacher too Gozu!

Gyahahehe…it’s just as she says.

Thank you. I can’t say I disagree, but…

I’m learning a surprising amount from the two of you as well.

Eh?

Huh?

You two have unique fighting styles unlike any I’ve ever seen before.

The more you hone those styles, the more I get to learn about them. And learning about how fighting styles differ from person to person…

Well, I guess you could say it’s part of the job?

Hm…Not sure I really get it, but you’re basically learning the more you fight, right?

In that case, let’s go one more round! For learning purposes or something!

HOHO! Well, I can’t very well say no to that now, can I!?

HA! I think I fully understand what you mean by enjoying the experience!

But don’t you dare think you can leave NEKOMARU NIDAI out of this experience!!!
