Naoya jumped forward instantly, crossing the speed much faster than Y/n had thought he would without his semblance activated.
Y/n caught his punch, his hand gripped around Naoya's as he tried to punch him.
Naoya dogged gracefully, using his other hand to suddenly chop Y/n in his throat, causing the Boy to choke.
Naoya quickly went in for a punch but was met with Y/n's fist, as the boy uppercutted him while he was falling back.
Naoya grunted, looking back down, only to see Y/n was no longer there before he was suddenly elbowed in his back by Y/n, who had a maniacal smile.
"What's wrong Naoya?" He asked, cockiness clear in his tone. "Not gonna use your semblance?"
Naoya grunted, flipping around, "I didn't think you would need it, considering you are an ex-member of the kukuru unit, but it seems I underestimated you." Naoya clapped slowly. "Congratulations."
Naoya suddenly cleared the distance, placing his hand on Y/n's chest. "Here's your consolation prize."
Y/n's eyes dilated, and for a second, he thought of what he should do. In a second he had decided what his next 24 movements would be.
He had followed only the first two before he suddenly couldn't move anymore. As his body disappeared and was replaced with a glass plane with an image of him.
Naoya slammed his fist into the glass, as y/n suddenly appeared and flew backward, slamming into the wall.
The adaptation begins
Y/n coughed, whipping his mouth. "Neat trick."
Naoya laughed, shaking his head. "Be proud I used it on you. It's not something I use on just anybody," he said, before running towards Y/n, amped by his semblance.
Naoya reached Y/n with his palm outstretched, ready to lay it into him, only for it to be slapped away by the wrist, as Y/n slugged him across his face.
Naoya quickly disengaged, jumping back and skidding across the ground to narrowly avoid another punch.
Naoya took note of Y/n's mostly handy fighting style, and also that Y/n was the better close combat fighter. Which really threw a wrench in everything Naoya had going for him.
"What, scared of little old me?" Y/n goaded as he stepped forward. "I expect more from the 'Next head' of the clan." He quoted the phrase Naoya so often liked to use.
Naoya grunts, "We're just getting started brat." and with that, he jumps off to the side, boosted by his semblance as he skidded to Y/n's side.
Y/n had whipped towards him, ready to deflect any grabs from Naoya, only to have to barely block a kick to the side of his head.
Y/n didn't have time to do anything else, as Naoya's palm was suddenly on his arm.
The wheel creaks before spinning around a single cycle extremely fast.
Naoya quickly jumps back, staring in unease. As his mind raced with the thought of what that wheel could have done.
Y/n and Naoya both stood in silence for a few seconds, both waiting for something to happen.
Naoya lets his guard down a little, raising a slight brow, to which y/n gives a slightly awkward smile.
Naoya scoffed. He couldn't believe he disengaged for nothing. But better safe than sorry.
"Go, master Naoya!" Ranata called from the sidelines.
"Shut it!" Jinichi growled out.
"Sorry master Jinichi..." Ranata said looking down at the floor.
Naoya chuckled, shaking his head.
He closed his eyes listening to the sound of nature. "This is true bliss Y/n-"
Y/n had lunged forward, arm cocked back.
Naoya's eyes snapped open "Faster!" Was all he thought, blocking the heavy punch, before activating his Semblance.
Hitting Y/n square on, he was given but a split second to map out his plan of attack.
Y/n, try as he might, wasn't fast enough, nor could he keep up with the sudden information overload, and so stunned, he messed up his first step out of the twenty-four he was given and froze in place, his body printed out like a png onto a glass plane.
Naoya punched the frame, and Y/n suddenly launched out from it, slammed into the floor, bouncing off of it, before he spun mid-air to land on his feet. Getting into a defensive stance.
Naoya followed through, as he punched, chopped, and tried to poke Y/n's eyes 24 times.
Y/n was forced backward at this onslaught, as Naoya pushed forward, continuing his attacks with practiced ease.
Y/n dodged a hit narrowly before his throat was chopped again, leading to him getting punched and chopped 13 times.
Y/n was slightly dazed, as he went full defensive mode, parrying and blocking attacks as quick as he could.
They fell into a tempo of blocks and hits, both doing their best to one-up each other. Although it was clear who was winning, Naoya continuously got past Y/n's block. Hitting him multiple times.
Y/n grunted out, as bruises began forming, and blood started to leave his nose.
But then, they heard it, the wheel made a creaking sound.
The wheel spun another cycle.
In an instant, all of Y/n's injuries disappeared, and he suddenly could perceive Naoya's attacks much better.
Y/n had suddenly made a move, throwing his own punches in their of blocks and parrying as he suddenly adjusted to the speed.
Naoya seemed surprised, as suddenly it seemed as though Y/n could meet his speed while using his semblance, as though he was moving 24 times a second as well.
Naoya found himself on the defense now, no longer leading the fight as he was put in the position of blocking and parrying.
He tried jumping back, but Y/n was on him like a hound, as he reached Naoya and they continued their clash.
"I have you now, you one trick pony!"
-
Ranata watched with wide eyes as he watched Y/n and Naoya clash. The two fighting their hardest.
Chojuro frowned, he didn't like how this was going.
Jinichi had a hand to his chin as he watched the fight with interest.
-
While the two clashed, Y/n had done something Naoya hadn't expected at all. Something he had decided Y/n wasn't capable of.
He broke the tempo.
Y/n's knee had slammed into Naoya's chest, stopping him mid-action as his body turned into a frame.
Y/n grunted, slamming his fist into the Frame of Naoya, sending him flying back.
Y/n smiled, watching as Naoya slowly stood up, a large bruise forming on his arm. "Too slow." He grunted out and lowered his arms.
Y/n laughed, shaking his head. "Could say the same about you, Naoya."
Naoya shook his head, a smile crossing his face. "A lucky shot."
Y/n's smile broadened. "I can perceive it now. It's like my brain functioning at 120%." He said, causing Naoya to raise an eyebrow.
"What the fuck are you talking about?" He asked, his stance slightly loosening up.
"Before, I had a hard time understanding it. I couldn't keep up and make my moves correctly, couldn't follow them," Y/n continued, ignoring Naoya's question.
Naoya went silent, watching as y/n rambled on and on. "God you a freak."
-
Maki grunted, watching as the two talked to each other. Why were they just talking? Wasn't Y/n the one who wanted this fight? And what does he do when he finally gets it? He talks.
"What are you planning, Y/n..."
-
What are you planning?
"I understand your ability now. The only thing that made you special. I've run at least one hundred possibilities through my head so far," Y/n said, tapping his forehead twice with two fingers "And now I've landed on one I think is perfect."
"Oh yeah? Enlighten me." Naoya said, smiling cheekily.
Y/n smiled, pointing at Naoya. "It's simple, you move incredibly fast, and force others to keep up with you, with the added side effect that if you touch somebody, you can force them to follow 24 steps-"
Naoya laughed, crossing his arms. "That couldn't be more wrong brat! And here you had me scared for a second!" He activated his semblance, however, instead of rushing Y/n, he moved away. That guess had been nearly spot on, he needed more time to get a proper profile on Y/n before he decided to try and
Y/n intercepted Naoya as he tried to get away, slamming into him, and elbowing him in his face as he turned into a frame.
Y/n kicked the frame this time, sending Naoya into the ground, where Y/n was able to follow up with another punch.
Naoya grunted, using both his hands to catch Y/n mid-punch.
Y/n was told to move 24 times by Naoya's Semblance.
The wheel spins once again
Y/n used all 24 frames to punch into Naoya's body. Forcing the huntsman deeper and deeper with every punch.
Y/n smiled, standing up to look down at Naoya's body. As the huntsman in question was knocked out, his eyes blank as bruises formed along his face and arms along with blood leaking from his nose.
"Beaten by a nine-year-old. A dish that was as bland as your heart, you were the worst person I've ever fought."
Y/n Zenin, The Child Prodigy Of The Zenin Clan, Beats Naoya, The Washed One!
Y/n suddenly feels something slam into his side, as he flies away.
Jinichi had jumped in, having just used his Semblance to get him off Naoya, along with Chojuro and Ranta, all of their faces steeled.
"Fine! Let me taste your dishes as well!" Y/n laughed loudly.
Maki meanwhile is still leaning against the wall, her arms crossed with no cares in the world.
What's this? After the leader of the Hei was beaten, the rest jumped in. What could possibly happen!?
