Scene (Flashback): In the middle of a war…
A martial artist, cult member captain.
Body size three times bigger than an ordinary human.
A solid, muscular body releasing murderous energy.
Captain Gordo:
I need strong opponents. My time is wasted here.
He is holding the head of a martial artist.
Many martial artists are lying on the ground around him.
Cult Members:
- Hahaha! That's our captain!
- Conquering this territory will be easy.
Martial artists from different clans:
Seniors, we will attack him together!
- Haaahhh!!
They attack from ground and mid-air angles together.
Gordo:
Come! Haaaahh!!!
Gordo releases waves of reddish energy, hitting everyone who attacks him.
Everyone is struck and receives fatal injuries.
They lie on the ground, receiving slashes
across their bodies from the energy waves.
A cult member appears, rushing in.
Cult Member:
Captain, someone is coming. We cannot defeat him.
Gordo:
Hmh!? How many of them?
Cult Member:
I'm not sure… but it's only one.
Suddenly, an explosion is seen near their area.
Scene Change: In the area
Oroel, Age 23 (Future 4th Clan Head):
Hahaha! You see that, Rai? That's my new spear skill!
Raiko, Age 25 (ignoring him):
"…"
Exhausted Martial Artist:
Sir Rai, we are almost wiped out…
Oroel (irritated):
Heey, Rai!!
Raiko:
We are in a war. Let's go, idiot!
(starting to run)
Oroel:
Hey, wait!!
A group of cult members moves toward them.
Raiko casts a skill; energy spreads across the area.
As enemies try to attack him, he quickly vanishes.
In an instant, he attacks them one by one.
Kick to the head, punch to the ribs, kick to the stomach!
Others are unable to move for some reason.
Oroel appears and attacks with a spear art.
Oroel:
Take this—yaaahhh!!
The area is obliterated; the ground looks melted.
Raiko:
Hey! At least leave one or two alive. We need more information about the enemies!
Oroel (proudly):
Hehe, so you saw that? Okay, I'll try, hehe.
Gordo (arrives):
Uuhh… such talent for your age. That massive marked attack—very strong!
Oroel:
Thank you for the compliment, but you need to surrender.
Gordo suddenly attacks Oroel in an instant.
Raiko quickly grabs him to avoid the strike.
Gordo destroys the ground—huge shockwaves erupt.
Gordo (thinking):
What happened? My body feels heavy. I feel it for sure—someone is holding me…
Raiko (quietly):
Hey, We need your skill to defeat him!
Oroel (serious):
Huh? Okay.. and thank you. I let my guard open. I didn't think he'd be this fast.
Raiko:
We need to move quickly. He's confused right now.
I'll attack first—then give it your all. We will end this in one hit!
Oroel:
Ehe! Sure.
Gordo:
Who used the skill that slowed me down?
I'll warn you—it won't be effective if I use my full force now!
Raiko:
Let's go!!
Raiko vanishes instantly and kicks Gordo from behind.
Gordo quickly defends it!
Gordo:
You're so fast, my boy!
Raiko:
Take this!!
Raiko suddenly stabs Gordo in the stomach
using a small blade infused with energy.
Gordo (thinking):
What? How? Is it fake?
Almost two hits land in an instant, leaving Gordo confused again.
But Gordo has already activated his Full Force Art.
Instinctively, he uses it after sensing danger.
Raiko's attack causes no serious damage.
Then Oroel appears in front of Gordo
at an average distance, his body materializing like smoke.
Oroel:
Hey, you said you have a full-force something.. Try to block this!
Light Spear Art: Field Erasure!
In an instant, a laser-like light pierces Gordo's body. A large circular hole
remains— proof of how concentrated and powerful the attack is.
Gordo (coughing blood, unable to speak):
…a… aa… ahh…
He falls to the ground.
Other Cult Members:
Ruuun!! The captain is defeated!!
Oroel:
Rai, thank you again.
You saved me again and again…
Raiko:
That skill—you need to use it faster.
Oroel:
Rrthh… hehe.
Thank you again—you keep pushing me to improve!
Scene: Present Time
Dark, cloudy day outside the cave
Rain begins to fall. Kyuen lies on the ground, slowly awakening
as raindrops hit his face. Rain continues to drip onto his skin…
Kyuen (opening his eyes, filled with sadness)
Raiko:
Kid… you're finally awake.
Kyuen:
Master…
Grabbing the silver box, Kyuen slowly gets up and walks into the cave.
Kyuen:
Master… your era was a very harsh generation.
Raiko:
I'm sorry, kid. Despite your age, you experienced my memories.
Kyuen:
Thank you, Master, for all your help…
Ah—I just remembered. Today is my birthday, hehe.
Kyuen turns 11 years old. September 21—his birthday.
Kyuen:
It's the greatest gift I've ever received. All my past birthdays…
and now receiving your Arts—my old dream has finally become reality.
I can become a martial artist… a strong martial artist.
Raiko:
Of course! I'm your master. Remember this—no one defeated me in combat
during my peak era. So be proud that I'm your master! Hahaha!
Raiko:
By the way, you didn't ask how long you were asleep.
It's been one day—thanks to your healing ability.
Kyuen:
I didn't realize it. I was saddened by your experiences.
And now, I can truly feel your emotions…
As they talk, Kyuen eats and drinks the food he had prepared in
advance inside the cave, smiling as he talks with his master.
A few hours pass. Rain continues to fall outside. Raiko's tone suddenly turns serious.
Raiko: Kid… this is inevitable.
Kyuen: Huh…?
Raiko:
My energy is almost gone. It started when we broke
the box and during the transfer process.
Kyuen:
What…? Can I channel my energy to you?
Raiko:
No. It's no use. This energy is my own—different from yours.
It was created and combined by the Art I told you about, remember?
Let me tell you my parting words, kid…
Kyuen's face grows sad.
Raiko:
You know… you're crying like a baby. But you're strong and a genius.
By the way, kid… this is my rival, Oroel.
Slowly, energy forms into a human face and body.
Kyuen begins to cry softly.
Raiko:
Stop crying like that…
Kyuen:
Ma… Master… thank you…
Tears continue to fall from his eyes.
Raiko:
You've seen me through my memories, but let me show you my face in person.
You've made me noisy—just like my rival.
A complete figure made of energy slowly appears in front of Kyuen.
Raiko:
How do I look? Strong, right? Hehe…
Kyuen:
Thank you… thank you… Master…
The silver box cracks further, pieces falling one by one.
It will shatter completely at any moment.
Raiko:
Uuh… it's starting to fall…
Raiko:
Thank you, Kyuen, for fulfilling my will. When a new generation comes,
teach them as well. That is my final request.
Kyuen:
(crying) Hhhh…
Raiko:
I hate goodbyes like this. It's like the time I died in my era.
Many who were important to me were crying…
Kyuen (tears streaming):
Ma… ma… master…
Raiko:
You have a long road ahead.. revenge… seeking justice…
But always remember the words of the Great Luminus Clan.
Raiko / Orozoel:
Have a heart for those around you.
And when times need it, have a heart for others.
Orozoel appears within Kyuen's vision.
Kyuen (tears streaming):
Yes… yes…
Raiko:
It's time… I hope to see you again. Be a good person…
my one and only disciple— Kyuen of Luminus.
The silver box fully shattered, and the energy faded away in front of Kyuen.
Narration (Ending):
The Master leaving Kyuen feels like a family departing.
But this time, it is not a tragic event—but has the strength to fight.
The torch has been passed, and the wish has begun…
The story continues in the next episode.
