As Salim's attack burns down the whole town, Thorne is shocked and surprised.
Salim charges down and shoots Thorne in his chest.
Salim lands and looks behind—
Thorne says, "This is not over. I WILL NOT FALLLLLL!"
Salim replies, "No need to fall — you already have fallen."

BLACK ORDER AFFILIATION HOME
"Sir, what do you think of Thorne Valric?"
"He is a good fighter, he just needs to overcome his mental thought of being weak."
"Sir, why is he the second strongest?"
"He is the student of the man who made the world shake in fear—he inherited that will."
"Who's will?"
"I can't say the name, but he was the strongest ever!"
"Sir, if Thorne unlocks his potential, can he be No.1?"
"He can't because I am—"

#1 BLACK ORDER AFFILIATION
IN THE BATTLEFIELD
Thorne goes into a flashback of his life.
THORNE — PAST30 years ago
One of the 11 major areas:Elyndor Realm
"Sir, a boy is born—"
"A boy?" (sad and unhappy)
"Tsuna, a boy is born."
"A boy?"
"Why a boy, Valric?"
"One month later…"
"Tsuna, let's drop this boy in the ocean."
"Yes, Valric. We can't have a boy."
"Go, you curse!"
(The baby is crying.)
As they drop the little baby, they become happy and start dancing—
AREA 3 — BLOODVEIL HARBOR
It's been seven days since the little baby was dropped from the cliff of the mountain. The baby reaches Bloodveil Harbor where he is picked up by a man.
"Who dropped this little baby here?"
"What the hell—this mark on his back shows he is A VALRIC!"
"So the rumours were true: the Valric family had a boy!"
"Haha!"
"This kid is gonna be my masterpiece. He is a boy from the prestigious clan Valric. His potential is gonna be huge and his mom is Tsuna from the second dynasty. This kid is gonna be my masterpiece and he will defeat Teriyaki Sumoi!"
Two years later—
"So how are you, Thorne?"
"I am fine, Dad—"
"Dad!? Who taught you that? I don't think I did—"
"Today is the day I will start your training."
"Okay, Dad."
"Don't call me Dad — call me Sensei!"
"Okay, Dad… oh sorry, Sensei."
Thorne Valric trained hard for years and became a strong fighter.
"It's been nine years since you were born. Now let's see if you can defeat me!"
"Come on, Thorne!"
"Ok, Sensei!"
Thorne and the man's bond was so strong — they had a real teacher-student thing.
6 MONTHS LATER
"Sensei, why are you so sad?"
"TERIYAKI SUMOI has announced war on the Society of Evil."
"So?"
"We are not evil. We are kind people. We are heroes."
"No — we are not. I am the leader of the evil society, and you are the last Valric."
"What!?"
"WHAT IS VALRIC?"
"I won't tell you much, but there are four clans and one of them is Valric, which means demon god. You are the last Valric — your full clan was killed by Teriyaki Sumoi and his alliance. Your family wanted a girl in your place so 100% Valric blood might survive, but they couldn't because you were born. They threw you in a river, and I picked you from the river."
(THORNE IS SAD AND SHAKEN.)
"Why me!?"
"Listen — Teriyaki Sumoi is going to attack at any point, so survive till then."
"Why that monster Teriyaki!?"
"He is not a monster. He killed all Valrics because your people were bad. Your clan used to kill innocents and use the poor for fun."
"But why is he targeting you?"
"I am a man you should not know at an early stage of your life, and you should stay away from me."
"WHY?"
"YOU ARE TOO YOUNG TO KNOW THIS, KID—"
"Where are you going? Are you gonna leave me too?"
"Yes. As Teriyaki Sumoi will die today, I am gonna kill that bastard once and for all. Bye, Thorne. If I don't come back alive, remember that your enemy is Teriyaki Sumoi."
6 MONTHS LATER
"Thorne!!"
"Sensei, you are back! But what happened to your whole body?"
"Teriyaki Sumoi!!!"
"Did he die?"
"Yes. I killed him."
"I knew you were the strongest ever."
"No — it's Teriyaki Sumoi, not me."
"WHY!?"
"You are too young to learn about this—"
"SENSEI, WHAT HAPPENED THERE!?"
AT THE BATTLEFIELD
"TERIYAKI SUMOI, YOU WILL DIE TODAY!"
"WHAT IS IT THAT YOU FIND SO GOOD IN THIS AIZAWA SATO?
WHAT IS IT THAT MAKES YOU WANNA KILL PEOPLE FOR FUN?
WHAT IS IT
— YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND THATTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!"
"I DON'T WANNA UNDERSTAND THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
(Nothing happened. Thorne, now —)
"Now let's train so you become strong!"
