My name is Ichiro Haruta and I'm 15 years old. I'm a normal person from a normal poor family. My father is a farmer. My mother works at other people's house. Like this they somehow managed our family. They barley managed my admission at the cultivation academia.
But even if they managed me to admission no one at school accepted me. They look down on me just because I'm from a purr family. Even the teachers don't pay attention to me. Because to them us from the low family have no talent to be cultivators .
Sakura Spiritual Academia
The school Ichiro Haruta read in.
A teacher is lecturing about spiritual powers an cultivation.
" Cultivation has many realms. Currently we know about 6 realms. They're Bronze , Silver, Gold, Dark gold , Crystal , And Legendary. " said the Teacher.
" If you want to cultivate then first you need to have a strong body. So to cultivate you need to make your body tougher and stronger. To begin cultivation there are some small realm you needed to pass. And it's called body tempering realm, body refining realm and body strengthening realm respectfully"
" And each realm has 3 small . "
"After you pass this realms you'll feel your physical strength and fitness increased and it will be enough to begin cultivating."
Everyone was listening to it attentively . Ichiro was much more. He made an oath that he will become strong and repay what his parents done for him.
His family was poor. They barely gets to eat anything good. Despite that his parents fed him well but he saw that his parents barely ate anything. They enrolled him to this academia in exchange for their food and sleep.
They all did so that he can live well and earn himself a name.
The teacher continued " After body tempering stage you'll face a small bottleneck . After a breakthrough to Bronze tank your path to become a cultivator will start. From there on every realm will have 5 small stages.
Cultivation has 3 ranks. From Bronze to silver is Low Ranked cultivator , Gold to Dark gold is middle ranked and Crystal to Legendary is Apex ranked. Even tho Bronze is called low ranked cultivation stage. It is barley to fit . You can only call yourself a true cultivator when you reach silver stage .
And so on the teacher continued his lecture.
Ichiro was listen wholeheartedly in the farthest back bench in a corner of the class. This classroom was large enough to fit 100+ students.
After the class was over it was lunch time. Everyone needed to bring their own lunch. Only grade 2 and higher graded students has the luxury to have lunch at the academia.
At lunch time everyone opened their luxurious lunch boxes and the rich aroma of food filled the entire classroom.
Ichiro opened his plain lunch box and saw the poor quality rices and some vegetables. But he didn't care instead he became happy. To him eating meat is luxury . So what if the food is of poor quality. For him his mother's food is the best food of the world.
When he opened his lunch box four boys were looking at his direction.
Daichi saburo said " Look that bumpkin still eating those rubbish"
Yatoshi fujiro said " Yeah a bumpkin who don't understand his own place wants to become a cultivator."
Samraj Yoshiro said and went towards Ichiro" Let's go teach him his place. "
The other three followed.
" Hey punk, this is not a place where you can bring garbages " started Samraj Yoshiro.
" Yeah a country bumpkin like you who don't even get to eat good food wants to be a cultivator , huh do you have the power to be one "
the 4 boys started insulting Ichiro.
They're quarrel instantly attracted everyone's attention.
" What's happening there " asked a person.
" Nothing much, those four bullys stated another fight " Answered someone.
" Oh whose the unlucky one this time ?" said the same person.
" That new poor guy, How unlucky he is! He somehow attracted Samraj the young master of Yoshiro family "
" Yeah he has a name for himself as the number one bully of the Sakura City."
Some kind hearted people lamented about Ichiro's misfortune , some sneered and thought it is right, and some ignored the whole thing.
Samraj snatched Ichiro's lunch box " Yuck how do you eat such things, This garbage should be thrower at the dustbin .
Ichiro panicked " No give it back, it is the food my mother made"
Daichi said " huh , you call this food , even dogs now days eat better food than that "
Yatoshi Fujiro said " Young master Samraj just throw it away, you are dirtying your hands "
" No Give it back to me or else " Ichiro was getting angry.
'You guys born with a silver spoon. So you don't understand how hard our lives are. Without your family you're nothing. Then I will see what kind of food you eat.'
" What will you do ? Do you have any strength " Laughed Yamamoto Suzuki the fourth one .
All four people were laughing.
Ichiro wanted to fight but currently he was to weak to do anything. He is just a poor boy from a lowly family. He has no power to do anything to these young masters from major families.
Samraj Yoshiro caught Ichiro's collar " What will you do? A country bumpkin like you wants to read in this Academia? Hmph This place is a sacred place. Here us from the upper family study , Don't dirty this place with your filthy hands. If you want to eat this garbages then go outside " Said Samraj as he thrown the lunch box outside through the window .
"No " Yelled Ichiro . His eyes reddened . He looked towards Samraj with hatred .
"Hmph , lets go " Samraj throws Ichiro back on the bench.
Yamamoto Suzuki said before he turned around. " Kid lemme tell you, don't come to this academia or else I'll beat you up every time I see you "
All 4 laughed as they returned to their places.
" Poor boy "
" He was too unlucky"
" Samraj do what he likes"
Some people discussed about it ,some ignored and some laughed at Ichiro's misfortune. But very soon they forgot about it.
On the other hand Ichiro picked up his bag and ran out of the classroom. He just ran and ran with waters in his eyes. 'Every day it was like this. People's made fun of him. While teachers kept ignoring it. I kept enduring it thinking that It will soon be over. And I need to study and be strong to repay my family.
But what study? When I want to understand something deeply and ask teacher to explain more he just insult me and everyone makes fun of me. But when others ask he answers respectfully. WHY?'
'Just because I'm from a lowly poor family? Do you guys want talented people or rich people do be cultivator. You guys kept saying to be a cultivator you need talent and potential but now you forgot what you said.'
He ran without any aim until he reached at a deep forest outside of the city.
Humans haven't build buildings everywhere like modern world. In this world the planet is very big so humanity hasn't reached the place where people fought for a good property to build their home.
Because this world is very big people didn't cut trees so much. Many places remains untouched. Plus peoples don't go outside the city in fear of hidden danger.
In this fantasy world there are many demons beasts and many mysterious creatures.
Ichiro was so rooted in his sadness and hatred that he forgot. He just wants to vent his anger somewhere. He ran all the way deep inside the forest . There was no one in the forest. It was a complete desolated place. There's only green everywhere and the singing of birds. This place looks very harmless but dangers can be anywhere.
Well Ichiro didn't notice anything. He was deeply rooted in his grudge , hatred and anger. Day by day his hatred towards the academy added together and today's incident formed together a deep hatred.
He punched on a tree and yelled " WHY WHY? JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE FROM A BIG FAMILY YOU'RE A GENIUSES? AND I'M FROM A POOR FAMILY IS A TRASH TO YOU. YOU CAN DO ANYTHING WITH ME. WHAT KIND OF LOGIC IS THIS?"
He broke down trees with anger. Kicked and punched on the ground. With his strength as the beginner of Body tempering stage he can break woods easily , well not that easy, compare to normal people it is a bit easy.
His hands were bleeding but his anger didn't fade. After he broke down trees he kept hit the ground.
He kept yelling " WHY , WHY ? just because I'm weak you can do anything you wish"
He punched on the ground hardly " OK if it is that I ( one punch ) Will ( 2nd punch slightly harder ) Become (3rd ) STRONG ! (4th punch). The ground slightly moved but he didn't noticed.
" I WILL BECOME STRONG " *dhmb* He punched hard and the ground moved again.
"WILL BECOME STRONG " *dhmb* And again the ground moved
" I WILL BECOME STRONG AND PROVE TO YOU ALL WHAT US FROM THE LOWLY FAMILY YOU DISDAINED CAN DO. AND I WILL PROVE IT " *dhmb* He vented all the anger in his heart with a final shout and hit the ground with all his strength.
And when all his anger was vented he noticed that the ground he was standing in was moving. After the final punch the ground was shaking strongly .
*What the __ is it earthquake? "
He noticed a tiny hole opened on the spot where he hit. And the hole kept getting bigger and soils are drowning inside.
"OH Shit" Before Ichiro could even move he was drowned inside the hole.
