It is said that the greater an amount of force an object has behind it the farther it goes, though who can say if this is enough to reach the stars? Even should it not one high school student of foreign origin is determined not to let that stop him.
Enter Vulgaris Magistralis, YELLOW MOUNTAIN and the newest addition to Onagi High's sumo club. How will he do when he is faced with the purest of the pure in name of forceful contests?
[Continuation of episode four! Man Heaps and Mountain Leaps!]
"No, not at all!" the hefty third year responds as he tosses out an immense blue mat with a large white circle and line markings in its center. Other people to the side, familiar with the club, start throwing out practice mats as well.
"Everyone start on the usual drills" he shouts to the rest of the crowd "Accept you" he says pointing to Vulgaris.
"You come with me"

"Nice..." Vulgaris says with a wide grin "I'm usually a Rugby guy, but I think I can make an exception with this"

Vulgaris follows the head of the team to a mat that is unoccupied and steps into the center.
"I'll keep this short because it burns practice time. This art isnt' just about knocking people around, in fact it has deep roots in shinto tradition. I heard what you did for the Rugby team during the rush and what you do for your friends and I think I have the right kind of guy. Just be aware as we practice here it is for betterment of oneself everywhere!"
With that he spreads his feet out wide (though they are lined up) and raises one foot only to stomp back down again. The stomp issues a thunderous "POW!" as he raises his other leg and repeats the process producing an equally thunderous blow.
He then claps his hands and spreads them out in front of you.
"Let's start with the basic of the basics. Ram versus smash. Come at me as you will!"

Vulgaris Slumps his gym bag to the floor,looking at the other students, and back at the club leader.
"Alright, you want a ram? how about a MOUNTAIN?!"
Vulgaris shouts as he charges club leader, going for a leg grab tackle, leading in with his shoulder ,reaching both arms around the leader's leg, and attempting to flow off his balance and onto his ass.

Vulgaris feels his shoulder dig into the surprisingly firm flesh of the club captain he finds his arms unable to complete the second part of his objective. Two massive palms thrust into his lower abdomen pushing him at an up and outward diagonal and ultimately out of range.
"I see you bring your rugby with you, few tackle like that. But in this instance they are not being tackled back. Dedicating your size to one location alone won't work here" he comments putting his hands back up.
"Try that again only this time try to grip me around the back like a bear hug"

"What ever you say, bub"
Brushing the floors with his feet like a bull about to charge, Vulgaris charges once more,making sure to run with back inclined and legs bent to lessen the burden of his higher center of gravity while trying to get under that of the club leader's. Trusting the club leader's wisdom, he tries the suggested maneuver, following up with a body slam to the ground if he is successful.

Vulgaris charges with a ferocity that would have forced anyone but the club leader to quiver or flee. The club leader however holds his ground and takes the brunt of the assault. Though it is difficult Vulgaris gets his arms around the guy and begins to try and lift.
"Ah, gung-ho but not quite the best idea. Takes too long if the person's considerably heavier than you. Instead of lifting try to push now" he suggests.

Grunting with exertion and frustration, Vulgaris stops for a moment to regain his footing,having underestimated the leader's weight, and instead of trying to lift, he disengages, and charges again, reaching his arms around the leader again. This time however he tries to push the guy out of an imaginary circle around them.

Vulgaris makes the necessary corrections and finds that despite the difficulty he had before he is now steadily pushing his club leader out of the ring.
"The true power of strength, a splendid process! Now lets touch on some of the other basics"
With those words Vulgaris begins his first decent into the world of martial arts. As the club leader shows him various methods of controlling another adversaries weight or breaking free from their own control he is astounded by how much skill these people put into brute force. It would seem that rugby isn't the only place where one studies to smashing!
[Vulgaris may now choose/craft techniques from Sumo whenever he has technique choices!]
After an intense couple of hours the leader calls club to a close.
"Good work everyone! like usual we'll be getting back to the normal routine of working out for half, practicing for the other half next meet." he turns to Vulgaris and comments "I certainly hope you'll be able to join us".

"Unfortunately, I have other demands, such as my own weight regimen, my construction job, rugby, but I'll will try my best to make it to all club meetings!" says Vulgaris with a grin, and shakes the leader's hand before leaving.

A hard handshake and an even harder to break respect is what ends Vulgaris's first Sumo Club Meeting.
However this is only one of THREE clubs that Vulgaris is a part of. No one can say what he may discover deep within the folds of the Renaissance Club or the Rugby team, especially after the surprising effectiveness of these "martial arts" he has heard of.
One thing's for sure. Whatever comes next it is up to HIM to decide!
