Heibai POV:
I stayed in the medical center for 3 days, Pax came by a few time to chat about Jinnu and Jomm dropped by once, brought me some snack and fruit. Don't know why Pax was staring dead at him, but i'm not gonna ask. When i got out of the center, Pax and i have a little chat
Pax: "So... now you are fully recovered, do you have any plan for the time being here?"
"I'm not so sure. Maybe i'll just start of with finding a place to stay first, and then everything else later."
*insert Jomm suddenly come out of nowhere
Jomm: "well, how about joining a cl..."
Pax: "WHAT THE F#%$ JOMM, CAN YOU JUST NOT"
Jomm: "Work every time. So i was saying, how about you join a clan, Heibai?"
I'm still looking at Pax to be able to stop her right the moment she come up ad tear Jomm in pieces. But she seems to be cool down, so i turn to Jomm
"Clan...what?"
Jomm: " it's just groups of Dojo members. I was going to start a clan with some of my friends."
Pax: "I'm not sure if that's a clan or just a group of weird boys?"
Jomm: "Hey, it's a whoe clan and we are having a great idea for the clan intro."
Pax: "Why do i have a bad feeling about your "intro"?"
Then Pax turn to me, seeing i'm confused and don't understand what they are saying.
Pax: "oh yeah, a clan is a group of six or more gladiators. They have an HQ and sometimes battle other clans. Some of the most famous one are Nemesis, Zetabrand, ..."
"And SOLDIER when we are formed" Jomm jumps in
i felt Jinnu moved a little bit in my pocket, but i still gotta finish the conversation
"So... your clan name is gonna be "SOLDIER"? Cool name, who's in?"
Jomm: "Well... we got Yoyo, Chuck, Mic, Oreo, me and Omni"
"Your clan seems to have enough people, why do you want to invite me too?"
Jomm: "there are no rule says that clans can't have more than 6, right. Besides, we want to be an exception right from the beginning"
Pax:"and... why do you want that?"
Jomm: "it's me, Yoyo and Chuck, what do you expect?"
Pax was going to say something but decided to not 
Jomm: "So what do you say? Wanna join us?"
"i mean, i just came here a few days ago and you beat me up in that same day, so i need to think a bit before i make a choice, not that i'm mad because you beat me up tho"
I said the last part because Jomm's face look sad. And when i did, his face came back to normal like a few seconds ago.
Jomm: "Cool! I'll wait for your respond. But... where are you going to stay when you are thinking?"
"I was thinking of staying in a motel for a few days until i find a place to settle"
Pax: "How about you stay in the dojo gladiator house? It's a place for newcomer to stay until they find a place."
"Sounds good to me! Where can i find it?"
Pax point to my left, there's a building in the distance. We go there to check it out, it look so old that it might collapse with a single hit
"Are you sure this place is okay to stay?" 
Pax: "well, there isn't anyone here, so if you stay here, it's like this place is  your house"
"Still doesn't look safe at all. But hey, on the bright side, i won't have to put a penny to stay here, right?"
Pax: "Nope, i stayed here 2 years ago and it's perfectly fine" (no it's not, the front wall got a big fat hole on the second floor and one of the glass in the first floor shatter to pieces)
I sigh "Screw it, i'll have to fix this building if i stay."
Pax: "So... it's a "no"?"
"What do you mean "no"? I got a free place to stay, kinda need fixing tho"
Pax: "Do you... need any help? I can call someone"
"Nah, just bring me a crap ton of nails and wood. Don't know if it will work, but i'll try"
*fast forward 3 days
I somehow fixed the 1st floor within 3 days and move everything i brought and bought (sound like a moving company, i know) into the house. Hyun came through at the second day and surprised that there is someone fixing the house. He offers to give me that house, because i am the only one who care enough to even fix the broken glass on the 1st floor. And of course i accept it, Hyun then disappear with a bunch of rainbow particles and then came back 2 minutes later to hand me the paper. And then the house is mine (just because i care enough to fix it :P). I keep on fixing the 2nd floor and finish it within 4 days. If you ask where i stay while i was fixing the house, i sleep in a tent i put in next to the house, it's pretty cool since i could mess around with mosquitos. And Jinnu also told me that this timeline is so messed up: There were no Gladiator name "Pax", SOLDIER was formed long after Zetabrand and a member haven't joined yet. I remember Pax said Zetabrand is a famous clan in the Dojo. But what does Jinnu mean "a member haven't joined"? It's really make me wonder who that member is, but i got no memories of Zetabrand yet, so i'll get to the answer later... eventually. But back to present, i finished fixing the house (i think). Pax came by to check my progress on the 6th day and just go "wow" for whatever reason. And i have been thinking about Jomm's invitation to join him. So i told Jomm that i accepted and asked him to bring the member of SOLDIER to the house. He went off and came back with these sticks, i saw them in the distance:
1st: A black stick with a red bandana, kinda look like someone who want fun chaos
2nd: A dark blue stick, he have a glowing yoyo in his right hand
3rd: A weird looking dark teal stick with 2 blades
4rd: A black stick with a star wand (?)
5th: A black stick with a long sword, he need facial recovery surgery

I came closer to them and heard the conversation
???(1): "What makes you rush your butt off and drag us all to this old house, Jomm?"
Jomm: "It's because we are going to have a new member, i've been trying to explain it Yoyo."
???(2): "We understand that, but why this old house?"
???(1): "Yeah, Chuck got the point"
Jomm: "Again, Yoyo, the guy told me to bring you guys here. Listen for a bit, man."
"Hey Jomm, what's new here?"
Jomm: "Oh hey buddy, i gathered the member here. This dude with a bandana is Chuck (Sup!). This is Yoyo (Hello). This guy is Oreo(*nod). This guy with a wand is Micwizard, but we call him Mic (Hey) and Omni (*wave at me). These guys are the SOLDIER clan, well... gonna be."
"You guys were kicked out of your 'head quarter' (it's just an apartment), right?
Chuck: "hey hey hey, we are just too cool for that place!"
"Yeeeeeah.... (i heard that this guy just somehow almost burn the whole building) i might gonna have to put some rules here..."
Jomm: "Definately, or the house you just fix is gonna burn down, have a few hundreds of hole and blade strikes in just 1 day..."
Oreo: "Wait what? what rule?"
Jomm: "I've been trying to say that this guy is our new member, and he is the owner of this house right now. He offer us to stay here and make this our base."
"Yep, and... seeing what you did with your old HQ, i gotta make some rules to keep this place from exploding"...

2 days later

"WHAT DID I TOLD YOU CHUCK, STOP BEATING THE OREO WITH YOUR FIRE NUNCHUCK!" - Oreo
 That was what i heard when i was helping Omni move his stuff into the house, he doesn't have much. But god they are heavy. We put the desk down and run to the kitchen imediately, and to our eyes, Oreo is crying because Chuck is smashing some packs of Oreo....
