I was born with a natural ability to fight. Even from a young age, I had strength far greater than others of my age. My mom called it a gift... my father called me a monster. My mother, Akane L/n, was the one who first taught me the basics of fighting. She drilled it into my head... but when I was five, I realized that she was suffering from a disease that affects the muscles. She died a little after that.

My father, Katsuo, was the head of the family then. He busied himself with taking care of them, and left me in the dust to rot. When I was eight, I left home. I never intended to stray so far, but I did. I got lost and couldn't find my way back. I wasn't very worried, though. No one would really miss me anyways. I had hoped they would, though. Even a little.

When I was lost and alone, Athena and Hera found me. From the first moment they looked at me, they knew I was a L/n. Even then, they took me to their home. They cared for me and nursed me back to health. Then my extensive training began.

It started with Hera. She wanted to raise my pain tolerance. By doing that, she broke my arms and legs first. Then my fingers. Then the rest of my body. I laid their for two hours. It started not to hurt after a while. Athena came and helped me speed up the process of my healing.

The Himura Family is known for their mental strength and power. They're able to freely tap into parts of the brain that normal humans can't. That's how she managed to speed up my healing. She taught me to control the part of my brain responsible for mending broken bones.

I couldn't complain about pain. I couldn't whine or cry. If I did, Hera would break one of my bones again. When we sparred, she didn't go easy on me. My organs ruptured, I suffered severe concussions, and I lost more blood than I can remember. Even though Athena healed me, she wasn't any better. She exploited my mental weaknesses. She used my fears against me. I don't remember what those fears were, but they were so bad, I couldn't function after it.

There was one time that they took me to see the L/n Family. They wanted me to learn more about Overload. Since my mom was gone, no one was willing. Instead, Hera made me spar them. I was very mad. No one greeted me. No one told me they missed me. It was as if I never existed. My father was nowhere to be seen.

I was angry. I couldn't control myself. In that moment, my Overload exceeded into something else. Something no other L/n had ever achieved. Even my mother.

All those years of gruesome pain and torture. Training day in and day out. Bleeding, sweating, crying. It's led me to now. The Kengan Tournament. I'm fighting people I've never dreamed of fighting. It's invigorating. I can't wait to see who else I go against. I can't wait to fight them. I can't wait to win.

You opened your eyes and stared up at the ceiling.

'Why am I asleep? I'm not tired.' You sat up and scratched the back of your head.

'I wonder what fight they're on now.'

You entered the arena and saw two men in the arena. Mikazuchi Rei and Nezu Masami. Depending on who won the match, they'd be fighting against you.

"FIGHT!!"
Masami moved first, going in for a classic punch. However, Rei was faster. Much faster. You couldn't see him visually, but you felt him move. He delivered a clean uppercut to Masami's chin. Ultimately knocking him out.

"AH! The match stops here!! We have a winner!! The winner is Rei Mikazuchi!!"
The crowd cheered at how fast the match ended. You crossed your arms.

'He's fast, but not undetectable.' You thought. You looked around the audience.

'Kiryu's and Nikaido's match should be up next. I wanna see that.' You walked down the steps and sat in an empty seat. You didn't know where anyone else was.

~
"A man of mysteries has come from across the ocean! A good-looking, but unidentified fighter. This mysterious fighter from Taiwan will dance in the arena. Standing at 117 cm(5'7) and weighing 73 kg(161 lbs), he makes his Kengan match debut today! Representing the Byakuya Shimbun Company, also known as the Watchman, Nikaido Ren!!!!!"
Feminine screams took over the cheering. Nikaido walked out in fairly provocative battle attire. Your brows rose a little at seeing that.

'To each their own, I suppose.'

"The next fighter is as mysterious as his opponent. He appeared out of the blue and entered the tournament. Here comes the beautiful beast! Standing at 180 cm(5'9) and weighing 75 kg(165 lbs), his kengan match record is one win and no losses. Total assets he has acquired is 25 billion, 72 million yen. Representing Kouou Education Group, also known as the Beautiful Beast, Setsuna Kiryu!"

'Ohma should be in the audience somewhere.' You thought, looking around. More feminine screams echoed through the arena.

"How beautiful! How gorgeous! The battle between the handsome men of the century begins now! The ladies are going wild!"
You stared at each of the fighters, coming to a conclusion that both of them were strong... but something was off about Kiryu. Like something was buried deep. Your eyes narrowed at him.

"Take your stance!" The referee yelled. Nikaido got into his stance first. You then saw the crest on the back of his shirt.

'Tenroken.' You thought.

'So he must know Qilong.' You crossed your arms.

"FIGHT!!!"
Nikaido moved first, jumping into the air and aiming a front kick. Setsuna dodged and Nikaido spun around, cutting Setsuna's cheek with a kick.

'He's fast.' You thought. Nikaido aimed multiple punches at him, but Setsuna dodged all of them before moving around him, coming back behind him. Nikaido jumped back, but wasn't unscathed. The skin on his shoulder was twisted, incapacitating his upper arm. Your brows furrowed.

'Rakshasa's Palm?' You thought.

'So he must know the Koei Style.'
You could sense a small change in Setsuna. He came at Nikaido again, but moving into his blind spot.

'Blink.' You thought.
He swiped his arm. Nikaido saw this in time and dodged. He slid to a stance.

'Setsuna isn't faster. He's simply taking advantage of the small time frame when you blink.' Nikaido then clasped his hands together.

'Oh? He's going to use Qilong?'
Setsuna once again, disappears in a blink, goes to Nikaido's blind spot, and tries to attack him. Nikaido released his hands. A loud, high pitched ringing exploded through the arena. While everyone winced and covered their ears, you continued watching like nothing happened. Nikaido whispered something in Setsuna's ear before punching him away. But during that punch, you noticed something happen.

'... that bitch is smart.' You thought.





Ja ne!
