It was after school and a bunch of people were gathered around the school's tennis court. At one side stood the arrogant Aldrich wearing his white tennis uniform, on the other side was Bryan still wearing his school uniform and black leather shoes.Bryan accepted the challenge without even thinking about it. His classmates who were there when he accepted the challenge were confused. It was obvious that Aldrich had the upper hand in this challenge being the school's tennis club's ace,but Bryan still accepted. Could it be that Bryan was actually good at playing tennis?The question of all the students was immediatelyanswered when Bryan asked Maryanne"What is tennis? " The guy didn't even know what tennis was, so why did he accept the challenge so confidently?Maryanne explained the basic rules of tennis to Bryan. She already knew based on logic that the more experienced Aldrich would beat Bryan hands down, but something was telling her she needed to believe in Bryan."Bryan, you better
After beating Aldrich in the tennis match, a swarm of people gathered around Bryan and his group. These people were all from sports related clubs. They who had witnessed Bryan's athleticism wanted to invite him into their club. If they have even one more talented player their budget might increase. Not only was Bryan a talented individual, he was also a first year that meant his full potential was still unknown, his future was limitless."Hi Bryan I'm from the tennis club, with your serve being a pro is not just a dream for you.""No shit! Why would he want to join your club that challenged him? Join the karate club instead, I saw how you hit the ball with your palm,you must be practicing some form of martial arts. You could release your full potential with karate.""How about joining the swimming club? ! It's full of girls that would love to talk to you while wearing swimsuits.""No join the dance club! I saw how you balance your body, your flexibility is exquisite! If you join the da
"I want a circle that would make my excitement boil with youthful vigor! "Oliver exclaimed what he wanted the circle to be like. Maryanne already lost all hope with Oliver so she looked at Bryan."How about you, what kind of circle would you like to create? ""Before I answer... Can you explain to me what a circle is? " When the two heard Bryan's answer they almost smacked their faces at the surprising question. 'Don't you know what a circle is? Are you really a student?'Though Oliver was still keeping a cool, unperturbed appearance deep inside he was confused as well.Noticing their weird looks Bryan explained his situation. "Before transferring here, I have always been homeschooled. This is the first time I have heard of clubs and circles. "Hearing Bryan's timely explanation the two were able to calm down. 'Still I wonder why he would be homeschooled until now, and then suddenly attend a public High School?' Maryanne had many questions about Bryan, but decided not to pry.She decided
After their meeting Oliver told the two that an emergency situation appeared back in HQ. The two were finally alone and started walking towards Maryanne's house. Unlike last time Bryan had no reason to walk a meter behind Maryanne, he was now walking side by side. While the two were walking, a bunch of people kept on staring at the two who looked like they came out of a painting. The two had an elegant and noble feel to them which entranced others as they walked down the sidewalk.Throughout the whole walk neither Bryan nor Maryannetalked, they just walked silently headed towards Maryanne's house. Before the two reached her house three guys appeared in front of them. The three were not overly muscular but theydefinitely look like they had rock hard abs. The three were wearing Gi's and written on that pure white robe of theirs was one character from the writing system of a different country written ULTIMATE. The three look to be a bit older than Maryanne and Bryan.Blue eyes like sapph
Bryan carried one of Maryanne's unconscious brothers while Joseph carried the other one. The three of them headed towards Maryanne's home.When Bryan finally reached the destination he was surprised by what he saw, Maryanne's house was an eastern style dojo and it was huge. A long and huge wooden plaque was hanging outside the dojo, what was written was simply "Ultimate Dojo"Bryan found the plaque quite amusing,someone other than his teacher of hand to hand combat has claimed his martial arts to be the ultimate and is stating it publicly with no shame. He was now a bit excited to find out who the master of the dojo was, it was most probably Maryanne's father.The three entered the dojo and laid the two unconscious brothers at the side. The entrance to Maryanne's actual house seems to be behind the dojo.When the group walked to the end of the dojo, Bryan saw Maryanne's house and it was bigger than what he expected.The house had a traditional feel to it and was made out of wood or that'
Bryan, who was following Kumiko and Joseph deeper into the house, was studying the layout of the place. He couldn't help but notice the numerous ancient weaponry hanging on the walls. There were Spears,Halberds, Longswords, Katanas,Nodachis, Claymores, Bows, and many more. There were even armors of different countries and eras.Noticing Bryan's attention was on the numerous articles of weapons and armors Kumiko smiled."These things are my husband's collection. The founder and creator of the Ultimate Dojo was my husband. He loved the ancient people's way of fighting so using his understanding of all the martial arts of the past created a modern day martial art that can be used to fight people using modern day weapons such as guns."When Bryan heard her introduction to how their martial art was made he smiled. The father of Maryanne was really similar to his own unarmed combat master. The movements of their martial art was like an inferior version of his master, and even their gaudy nami
When the Major heard Bryan's report, his mind went blank, he gripped his phone hard before suddenly bursting out!“Are you sure Private! Are you sure that the family of the Secretary of Defense doesn't know he's alive and that he even works in the Alorean Defense Department!?”“Affirmative! I have seen his picture place in an altar, apparently the family thinks he's dead.” Bryan reported over the phone.Major Cutthroat had mixed feelings after hearing the news, that the family the Defense Secretary tasked him to protect didn't even know he was alive.“Major! How should I proceed? Do I reveal this vital information to the family, or shall I withhold it and resume the current mission with no attachment whatsoever to the recent mystery?”Sigh!Major Cutthroat sighed over the phone“This is the family of the Alorean Nation Secretary of Defense we are talking about. I don't know why he made them think he was dead or why he tasked us to protect them, but I do know that it's not in our agend
Bryan returned to the military base, he was asked to report to the Major. He knew very well that the mission would be over soon, by now the Secretary of Defense would be rounding up whatever it is they were doing. But now, he wasn't here because of the mission, he was here because the Major called him in for something that concerns his mother.“Sir! Private Grayson reporting for duty Sir!”“At ease soldier. Take a seat.” Major Cutthroat replied to Bryan's salute while gesturing him to seat at the chair beside him.“I called you here due to the fact we may have a vital information on your family, the Houstons.”“They are not my family Sir.”“Regardless, their blood runs through your veins. We have info that the Houstons is in collude with Maximus.” Major Cutthroat said and then opened a file in front of him. He took out a USB flashdrive and inserted it into his computer.“Zero compiled a lot of data on Maximus, from his early age till now. He's also some kind of a super soldier, Maximus
