Thanks for the chapter!

Obviously love this manga, but the high kick sequence was way too unrealistic...
Not really. Seems like Aoba threw a jab in order to bait the right hook, a move that can be countered with a high kick. You can see here how a similar exchange goes:


In the video a left hook gets countered by a left high kick.

The grip i had is he somehow become a crescent kick specialist quickly. Mastering moves takes time.
Well it's generally quite unbelievable how fast he's learning things and somehow winning in hopeless situations. There's the lore that he obsessively drills what he's learning to support his learning speed, but I also like to think that he isn't anywhere near having mastered the move so much as his opponents are still very inexperienced and are caught off guard which make it seem like he's effective and mastered the move when in reality he has the luck of the devil with his opponents having gaps which he happens to be able to exploit.

No man, you don't get it. It clearly was a right straight that he threw. I'm saying the timing on blocking the counter was unrealistic, on top of that you add the high kick after blocking is just fantasy.

1. That's a short right hook. (Unless you mean what Aoba was throwing - yes that's a right straight not a jab, but he was clearly still baiting a specific reaction) 2. That timing is not unrealistic especially if he knows it is coming, 3. That high kick is not unrealistic at all
