In an underground basement in the city of Satna, not in the school, there was Gun, right hand on his wooden katana; he was in front of his men, 5 units including 30 teenagers each. They were all bowing, and then the training started, heavy sparring. Sand bad drills without gloves; they were elite fighters, but Gun still chose to train them, knowing what the future can be.
Meanwhile, in the same basement but on the other side was Goe; he was training alone, but not barehanded but with two knives, one long and the other short. He was practicing a martial art from his homeland, Hapkido; he was moving with different energy, not with his usual casual personality but with precision and movement. He was scanning his previous fight with Viper. And was leaving no loopholes to break.
And in a room of a small villa sat King with a whiteboard; he was not training but planning the attack, every movement, every possible attack, every loophole; he wasn't missing anything. His face, he was smiling a wide, terrifying smile of excitement; gluttony possessed him like a demon craving the blood of a priest.
Then there was a park, a normal park of an abandoned neighborhood where Whinsmoker and Escobar were shirtless. Escobar was listening to a song with earphones while they fought; they were not sparring but fighting, just for fun. Their knuckles were bleeding, but they don't care.
And then in the apartment home of Gun, he was sitting silent, his head bowed down, eyes closed, meditating in front of a legacy katana with a dragon sheath, which once belonged to the great samurai Sasaki Kojirō. Gun stood, walked towards the katana, and touched it, and he got goosebumps; his heart started pounding, then he remembered one line of his father, "息子よ,刀に触れて鳥肌が立った時はいつでも,必ずその息子よ,刀に触れて鳥肌が立った時はいつでも,必ずその刃を見なさい.そうすれば,刃に映る自分の姿が,お前の運命を示してくれるだろうろう"
And as he did, he saw the reflection of a silhouette behind him; it was Sasaki Koujiro.
{Translation: My son, whenever you touch a sword and get goosebumps, always look at the blade. Then your reflection in the blade will show you your destiny."}
