So now even this rikishi had wide eyes, and it seemed as if he was really not planning on playing reckless again, because if that previous punch would have landed on his face, then I was pretty sure that it was at least going to break a few of his bones around his chin and jaw.
But as the fuck moved away, suddenly Joe hit him with something bizarre, a punch in the center of his face, without any tactics or proper technique. This bastard hit him while diving on him, and it seemed as if he was just moving with his instincts.
And when he hit that punch on his face, the boxing glove was covered in blood, and everybody was looking around in disbelief, because this punch was something that could really be called a disaster for any living person alive.
Especially for a boxer, such a punch could not only end his career but also his entire life, and this was the reason why dangpei couldn't even believe his eyes about what just happened here, and it seemed as if there was really nothing left in the match.
Both fighters fall to the ground in exhaustion; one was way too out of cold, unable to even scream about pain or anything, while the other was exhausted to his core, unable to even properly look at the result of the match.
And now the silence of death was seeming the only result that was covering the ring, but one thing was certain: that they were alive and were barely conscious, while the refree was way too heavily traumatized by such results that he even forgot to count.
While Dangpei hesitantly moved towards Joe and tried to wake him up, it seemed that Joe was just barely hanging and was now just clinging to his life, but fuck, seriously, the previous impact on the kid was really severe.
And it was more like a miracle that he still managed to stand up, but for Rikishi, it couldn't be said the case; he received way too fatal a blow, and at such a blank range, everything was feeling like a mystery even to me.
Still, when I was sunk in my thoughts, I saw that neither of the people were blinking, and the first one to turn their eyes wide was none other than Yoko, while the kids were shouting and crying for Joe, but the guards were looking at such a scene with nothing but sincerity and shock.
The flames still couldn't let them fall in peace, and a first shout echoed in the crowd: 'They moved, Rikshi moved! Joe moved...!!' A massive uproar followed this shout, and everybody started cheering the fallen.
And here I was still unable to understand how they could move, but another question was burning high in my heart: 'How is this thing going to help the kid in learning the lesson of relying on someone?'
Even if they woke up now, I could only see one result: the moment the kid wakes up, he would be drained to the point where he wouldn't be even able to tell if he is even standing or just lying low. So how was this fuck even going to learn that lesson? This question was turning my heart heavy.
And seeing such courage, I was not feeling like cheating or turning the events upside down, but the time was passing at a way too insane pace, and to my misfortune, now barely 30 minutes were left before I would be pulled back.
While these assholes were again standing up while taking the support, fuck, at least Joe was taking support of Dangpei and mumbling something in his ears, so seeing it, I was feeling that it might work again.
But suddenly I saw something strange: the dangpei. After hearing Joe's words, he started covering Joe's ears, and tears started to spill from his eyes. Woah, this was strange, because in anime there wasn't such a scene, so I took a deep breath before focusing on Dangpei's hands, and to my disbelief.
There was blood that was gushing out from the corners of his hand, and it seemed that his ears were filled with blood due to that previous punch. Fuck, just the mess I wanted to avoid. The kid wasn't trained to take such blows.
And yet due to my recklessness, I made him fight with this jerk, and due to his beast-like instincts, instead of remaining down from that blow, this fucked bastard pushed himself and stood up; for everyone, it was a miracle.
But for this kid, it was nothing more than a nightmare; his instincts put heavy strain on his body that caused his senses to amplify, and the toll of it now was crushing his body, and those ears were the result of such madness.
Now I couldn't even guess about the damage in his body. His ears: Were they letting him hear anything around him? The uproar—was he even able to hear it, or will he ever be able to hear anything?
No-No, fuck, it couldn't be; my little messing with his timeline couldn't bring such horrors to them. There was no way that it would end like this; they had to live their lives with prosperity and with happiness.
And that's why I helped them, so why was it happening? Fuck, if I don't take any initiatives now, then there is no way they will ever be able to heal themselves and will have to live their lives like this.
So now I was feeling way too pressured that I had to heal these fuckers again and also had to not interfere with this sick match, so instead of messing around, I shouted at Refree: "Refree, count now. What do you think you are doing, huh?"
Hearing my words, that creep from inside hesitantly returned to his senses and started counting, while hearing the counts, they both started forcing themselves, but still neither of them had enough courage to stand straight.
Soon the danpei cautiously brought Joe to his corner and began telling the refree that Joe had woken up, but the refree wasn't agreeing to it, as Joe was still not able to stand straight on his feet without support.
While Rikshi was no better, now the counts soon reached 7, and my tension was peaking through my senses, and I was just hoping that they could just win already!!
