Editing Hagure Yuusha no Aesthetica:Volume 7 Chapter 2 (section)

===Part 6===
 
"So it turns out like this.....Now I see what Old man Kubota meant."
 
The time when Akatsuki attempted to tame Sleipnir .....
 
Kubota said he knew a little bit about Gouki.
 
.....Oh, that's right
 
Kubota and Gouki should be about the same age.
 
Those two people were both around Akatsuki's age, probably the same age of the Gouki standing in front of him, when they were summoned to an alternate world is just getting started. Babel had not been organized yet, and also there weren't that many people who returned from another world. At that time, if those two meet after going through similar circumstances, is would be very natural if they became friends.
 
"Okay, however that's not why I am here...... "
 
Akatsuki raised his Black Sword, and took a step forward.
 
He laughed a little.
 
"Even if it's just a computer program......I will not miss this opportunity to compete with you! "
 
With a loud roar, Akatsuki made the first move.
 
He launch himself forward at full speed.
 
Closing the distance between the two in no time, then he put all his power into one strike.
 
But ......
 
The computer generated Gouki slightly waved his Japanese sword.
 
"Gakiiiiiin--"
 
A metallic sound rang out as the Demon sword and Japanese sword slammed together.
 
"Uhh, Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!?"
 
Akatsuki's body was sent flying more than a dozen feet backwards.
 
It was too late for him to adjust his body in the air, he slammed into the wall.
 
"Gahhh......!"
 
The strong impact in his back, forced all the oxygen out of his lungs.    
 
He stop breathing for a moment, because of the special barrier there was no possibility that the wall was broken.
 
However the impact on the human body was not lost. Even so, Akatsuki withstood the pain and got off the ground.
 
"...... Aha, this is more like it."
 
Akatsuki laughed fearlessly.
 
His opponent is one of the most powerful people in the world, and is one of the people Akatsuki must defeat.
 
Even if this is a hopeless battle, he cannot pass on this a rare fight.
 
The difficulty of training programs adjusts according to the user's strength, In NORMAL mode the enemies would be evenly matched with the user. However, Gouki is part of debug mode, and appeared as a blank space. It is on a completely different level than the rest.
 
Then.....the different between himself and his father's power at that time was so much.
 
Ousawa Akatsuki doesn't actually know how big of a gap in strength there is between him and his father or his brother.
 
However ......
 
If he were to able to defeat a young version of his father, it would be tantamount to obtaining the right to challenge those two people.
 
But on the contrary, if he can't against a virtual opponent, let alone a copy of his father, there is no point. The genuine Gouki would have over many years accumulated much more experience, and is probably a lot stronger.
 
Plus it is safe to assume that his physical condition is unlikely to decline because of age.
 
At that very moment Akatsuki thought this was a fight he absolutely can't lose.
 
-- However, the spectacle that appeared before his eyes was incredible.
 
The Japanese sword in Gouki's hands disappeared, as if saying it does not need a weapon to face this level an enemy. The computer generated Gouki stood firm with a fearless smile.
 
"How dare you look down on me ......"
 
Akatsuki confronted the calm Gouki, unable to hide his inner anger.
 
"Good, I prefer using my hands anyway... ... Come on!"
 
He released his magic sword, and walk over to Gouki empty handed. And then at an arm's distance away he stopped.
 
"I'm a the challenger, so I get the first strike."
 
After saying that, Akatsuki immediately channeled renkan keikikou.
 
Concentrating all the kei inside his body into his right fist.
 
"--Eat my fist, FATHER!"
 
He drives his right fist into Gouki's face.
 
"Bakii!"
 
A dull thud could be heard.
 
 
 
However, even after receiving Akatsuki's fist, Gouki never moved as much as one step from where he was standing.
 
He stood there grinning at Akatsuki, then in a similar fashion gave Akatsuki a right hook.
 
"Gah -- Gaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"
 
He felt an acute pain running through his abdomen as he looked down at the ground.
 
However, he didn't see Gouki standing there.
 
"Crap -- Above!"
 
Akatsuki reflexively punches behind himself.
 
After a muffled bang, he clearly felt the impact of hitting his target.
 
However his attack didn't land, it was blocked.
 
Akatsuki turn around after his punch, only to see a furious Gouki with an impending kick awaiting.
 
He had no time to either defend nor evade.
 
Gouki's kick landed cleanly, smashing Akatsuki into floor with a vengeance.
