A Bit On Edge (Ryu/Open)

[Matrim Gallagher]

"Who the fuck are you? How the fuck do you have so much power?" Ryu said.

"My name is Matrim, I'm the School Captain of 259. I'm also known as the Infernal Dragon," He would say, reaching down and grabbing the kid by the front of his shirt, he would raise him up and pin him against a wall, an eye watching his last limb. He noticed the pattern with each strike and realized he had an arm left to punch him with, "I got strong by fighting and training with Dragons, by taking on every strong fighter I could, time and time again until I could beat them. I've been near death more times than I care to count. You want to get strong? Do the same. Don't waste your time with people you've already beat. Here's my rule of thumb, if you beat somebody it's their job to fight you, not the other way around. If you've lost to someone, fight them again and again."

He would then pull his head back and strike the kid with it, attempting to knock the kid out before he could use that last limb.

Damn I'm long winded aren't I? This kids good. I'd hate to see him with my strength, those hits would have been kill shots, every last one of them....

[Ryu Hayabusa]

Ryu didn't try to get away. He simply stood in angered awe at the mans power. Ryu wasn't light. He wouldn't have been able to pick up someone his own weight with one hand like that, and he could tell throughout the fight that this Matrim wasn't as large as Ryu. A further testament to his strength. The man didn't offer his name in return. Nor did he use that remaining arm. He did however, maintain Shaolin Fist. A sign of defiance in the face of deafeat.

Sound advice. Downright good advice, but Ryu wasn't about to admit that. He would simply accept it, and follow it. He'd be back for this School Captain. Again, and again, and again. The strike crashed into his forehead, and he faded into unconsciousness, the bleeding on his forehead increasing for a moment. The second of his three sides stayed dormant. It wouldn't be able to do any thing against this 'Infernal Dragon'.

[Matrim Gallagher]

After knocking the kid out Matrim tossed him up and let him softly come down over his shoulder as he walked through the door of the classroom they had went into, and walked him down to the nurses office, setting him down on a bed he left him, and walked back to pick up the other one and carry him to the nurses office as well if he let him, to recover there, though he was still conscious it seemed from last Matrim remembered.

Interesting kid. He'll come around and fight me again I'm sure. He blew his strong attacks one after another, he was done to his last resort in that fight. I still don't even know what he's capable of as far as strength goes without all of that.

Matrim called the nurse and said she had two more patients before leaving them there and making his way to his next class with a bruised rib, swollen temple, and a bruised arm. Not to mention he was a bit dizzy after that headbutt. It's a good thing Matrim was amazing at math without the need for thinking too hard.
