《Promise》Chapter 20: The unfair battle
Advertisement
Shaking but still standing, Geralt was like a candle light in front of a storm that was Kyle, one blew off a wind and it could be all over. Everyone was expecting the villain looking Kyle to take advantage of the situation and humiliate the young man. Liam, Luna, Maria and Allan were scared that he would go too far as Kyle once said he was gonna kill Geralt. But what he did next was beyond everyone's most wild imagination.
“Who was your master, Geralt?” Kyle asked, Geralt looked at Richard instinctively. “Whoever he was, he is an idiot.”. Geralt once again showed anger in his eyes. “First stop shaking your legs, you’re embarrassing yourself” Kyle continued. Geralt did not even notice that his legs were shaking like that and with all he had left, he managed to stop it.
“Your striking poses were good, you learnt well, but your attack lack true strength, that's because you only strike with your arm or legs, true power come from your whole body” with that Kyle quickly ran at Geralt and land a simple looking punch to his chest, but it managed to blow him 2m away. “On your feet!” Kyle ordered, and once again Geralt stood up.
“You have no power on those legs or what ?, stand firm, that is the first lesson any fighter must learn.” Kyle looked at Geralt with serious murderous eyes “ If you can’t stand strong then you’re nothing, you can’t attack or defend, so stand firm, use the ground you're standing on as your power”. Geralt was still shocked from the blow before, “ Focus you idiot, Focus,” Yelled Kyle, “Eyes on your opponent always, why are you looking at the ground or at the audience when your enemy is right here. Your eyes must always be focused, focus on your enemy, focus on their eyes, focus on their weapon, predict their movement, read their mind”. Geralt instinctively followed Kyle's order, his eyes now focused on Kyle and Kyle only, suddenly the atmosphere changed, Geralt found power back to his legs, his eyes focusing on Kyle, he did not make a sound unlike in the start when he was laughing and chanting noise.
“Now that more i like it” Kyle said “Remember, stand strong, your power came from your hold body, your legs must always stood firm to the ground, and focus, read my movement, read my breathing, predict my attack, find my rhythm” then in a blink of an eyes, Kyle had already right in front of Geralt, he punch Geralt again but this time, Geralt block it with his hand and he only fell down from where he was standing. This time, without Kyle even saying anything, Geralt stood up on his own, eyes still focusing on Kyle, his legs still stood strong. Kyle cracked a smile and said “Good, again”, Kyle launched at Geralt again with the same move, this time Geralt completely blocked it, he did not fall down and Geralt countered him with a punch of his own. But it was nothing to Kyle, he caught it with his other hand like it was nothing, then he punched Geralt straight in his gut, Geralt fell down in pain. But one second later, he stood back up again, his eyes now showing no fear, unlike what he did the first time he was knocked down. Everyone was shocked at the sense, rather than seeing a man completely humiliate another, it seemed as though Kyle was actually teaching the young man how to fight for the first time.

“Your strike is weak, you should be ashamed of yourself, when you punch someone, you move your whole upper body not just your shoulder. Gather the strength to feet from the ground you stand on, deliver it to your arm, move your upper body simultaly as you strike. Never lose your focus from your enemies, and don't punch at them, you punch through them, remember to strike hard no mercy.” Kyle told Geralt “Now fight me!”
With that Geralt attacked Kyle, with all his might, he punched Kyle, but once again, his fist was caught by Kyle hand, however, his blow was much stronger, perhaps the strongest strike Geralt had ever did, the sound shocked the arena, it was almost as loud as the sound when Kyle punched the ground from earlier. Kyle immediately replied with a back hand right to Geralt face, but this time Geralt was focus, he move just enough to reduce the maximum damage he would have took and he was still standing after that, Geralt strike again with his other hand, this time it was block by Kyle hand, the sound of his strike was now much more powerful then from the start of the match. It was not fancy looking like before, it was simple but so powerful and fast. However Kyle was not a merciful teacher. He did a roundhouse kick right to Geralt's head, it was a direct blow. Geralt was on the ground once again, blood started to bleed from Geralt's mouth, he still tried to stand up though, this time however, his eyes started to show a sense of fear, he knew for sure now that there was no way he could defeat Kyle.
“You are still weak, do you really think that just because you could still stand that you are strong. You’re pathetic.” Kyle said with a cold and harsh voice.
“Why don’t we end this, clearly Geralt could not fight no more” Luna said
“Just be quiet and watch Luna, the fight will start really soon” Liam replied. Everyone stared at Liam after what he just said. What did he mean by the fight would start soon ?, they have been ‘fighting’ for a while now.
“You fight without purpose, you only focus on taking me down, that's why you are weak, that's why you keep on falling down and that's why you could never land a hit on me” Kyle spoke at Geralt “Are you really a man or just a little brat who hide behind his father huh?. You fight only for fame and glory, you only fight because you know you will win, you useless pathetic excuse of a man”.

Kyle continued “A real man fights not just for sports, he fights for honor, he fights to protect his loved one, he fights for the fellow soldiers that are standing next to him, he fights for a reason. He will fight even though he knows that he will lose but he will fight anyway because he has something he is fighting for, he has someone he can not allow to get hurt.” The audience all went silent as Kyle made that speech.
“Now get up BOY, imagine your sister is standing right behind you, now imagine what a man like me would do to her if I could get my hand on her” Kyle screamed at Geralt, “Come on Geralt, don’t you love your sister, are you just gonna let me walk right through you, she might not worth it then huh, you fear me don’t you!”
Geralt changed completely after that speech from Kyle, he stood firm, his eyes were now fearless, looking straight at Kyle eyes, focus and death were the only things that you could see if you looked in Geralt's eyes right now.
“Come on BOY, show me what you’re made of !” Kyle yelled at Geralt as he closed in on him, Kyle unleashed a series of continuous attacks toward Geralt, this time, Geralt did not fall down, not even once, he dodged and blocked and refused to fall down even after receiving a direct hit from Kyle.
Geralt now looked as if his legs were glued to the ground with his back against a brick wall. He did not let Kyle advance through him, not backing down even an inch, it looked as if there were someone behind him, as if he was desperately trying to protect someone behind him. Kyle did not show that he was backing off either, blow after blow he landed on Geralt. The two continued to exchange hits to one another, Geralt did not just defend anymore, he fought back, striking with all the strength he had, no somehow, he was striking with the force that was more than all the strength that he had. Kyle, however, seemed much more serious than earlier, he hit Geralt faster and stronger than ever before and still had not got hit even one. The sense started to become more heart wrenching as Geralt started bleeding from his wound, blood started to pour down his face from all the hits he received, on his upper body, bruises started to visibly appear all over his arms and chest area.
However, somehow no one can take their eyes off them, this was a one sided fight for sure, but to many of the audience, this was one of the most beautiful fights they had ever seen. It looked as though they were both fighting for something that was much bigger than them. Geralt was still taking a beating from Kyle, but in comparison to the boy who stepped in the arena a few moments ago, he was a totally different person. There was no fear in his eyes while facing an seemingly unstoppable monster like Kyle. All there was in his eyes was focus and the will to keep fighting. At this moment, Geralt looked as though he was fighting not for his life but for another, he hit harder after each punch he threw, when he got hit, his eyes did not waver even for a second, rather his eyes were deadlocked on Kyle and his body just moved on their own. But everything must have an end, Kyle relentlessly punching Geralt in the head and then an upcut straight to the chin of Geralt, he finally went down.

The Genre of My Life Was Randomized?
The wheel spun and the genre changed. In every chapter, a new canvas made up of a thousand words was formed. I, the creator, do not know the future of this novel. I, the author, is but a mere slave that writes and creates what the wheel has given. What would happen after? What fate awaits the main character? When would you encounter the next chapter? Besides the latter, only the wheel could answer. Author's Note:Salutations dear reader. I'd like to dissuade you from reading this novel due to the following facts: 1. I am an amateur/new/beginner writer so it could be said that I don't know what I'm doing. 2. This novel is something which I wrote in order to hone my skills in adaptability, creativity, and writing in of itself. 3. Every chapter was made after spinning a wheel with the genres: Action, Horror, Romance, Comedy, Fantasy (as of writing) twice. The genres then would be showed in the chapter through theme, part of the story, flow, character, or whatever man idk. In case the wheel would show the same genre twice, the chapter itself would have the result as the main theme of the story with the other genres being free to use in order to fully show the theme. 4. I'm basically yoloing the story, trying to make sense of it even with the randomness of the current and future chapters; I swear I'm not a masochi.. *ahem* moving on, a variable left by the previous chapter won't suddenly just disappear because the next chapter doesn't have the same genre as before, meaning if a character that fits a genre was shown on let's say "Chapter 1", said character wouldn't just disappear or cease to exist for no reason at "Chapter 2" or the following chapters just because the character doesn't fit the genres. To make it short this isn't a collection of short stories but one big story instead. 5. Etc.
