Chapter 1: 1. Han sen
The azure sky seemed like a gigantic blue
emerald, the midsummer sun seemed like
a huge fireball, hung on the top of this
huge emerald. Using the sun's position,
one could estimate it was around 3 PM.
Zhi-An region's 3rd high school.
[DING DING DING]
As the loud bell spread across the entire
campus, the campus suddenly arose with
commotion and ruckus. Each building
poured with students, laughing in groups
towards the school gate.
"Han sen brother! Han sen brother*!" a
thick voice said.
*This brother is one used in respect (not
blood related kind)
"Han, someone's calling for you"
In the midst of the group of students, a
teenager who was holding a bookmark
walked along with the students. He was
wearing a regular blue sports uniform and was around 175 cm, and was a bit skinny. At
this time, he hesitantly turned his head.
The person calling for him was a guy
around 190 cm with tiger-like shoulders
and a bear-like waist. His biceps were even
more brawny and astonishing.
"You are?" Han sen hesitantly watched his
approach, not recognizing who was in
front of him.
These two people: one sturdy and like a
brown bear, while "Han sen Brother" was
like a regular person.
And height...
The difference was immensely large.
However, this broad shouldered, large
waisted guy, seemed to display formality.
He carefully looked at the "Han Sen
Brother" he admired.
"Looks like the rumors were right. Han Sen brother is quite easy to talk to."
"Han Sen brother, I... I have something
that I need Han Sen brother's help with."
"With what?" Han Sen laughed.
"While I was training my fists, I felt like
there was something wrong when I
punched. I was wondering if brother had
any time to give me any pointers."
The burly guy continued,
"According to the dojo teacher, with my
strength, I should be able to release a
punch that is over 50% in power. However,
I can never reach that value at all."
The burly guy looked expectantly at Han Sen.
"Oh... I see." Han Sen paused for a moment,
nodding his head.
"Okay, this Friday during noon, find me at
the dojo."
"Thank you brother. Thank you brother"
The burly guy repeatedly thanked.
Han Sen laughed a bit and then left with
his friends.
Seeing that Han Sen has left, the burly
guy displayed his excitement. He clenched
his fist, and as his bicep's veins were
bursting, excitedly shouted out:
"SUCCESS!"
"Wow! Han Sen brother agreed that
easily?!" A boy wearing a school uniform
exclaimed.
"The rumors are indeed true; Han Sen
brother is easy to talk to and is a good
person" The burly guy grinned.
"But.... that's not right. In our 3rd high
school*, in the 5000 students, only three
are able to achieve the title of "Martial Arts
Elite Student". In those three students, the
other two are 'Zhang Hao Bai' and 'Liu
Ting', but they are too prideful and aren't
willing to use their time to guide us." The
boy wearing the school uniform said
doubtfully.
"But Han Sen brother is this kind?"
*3rd is just the number of the high school,
not their ranking or any of the sort.
At this moment, around the entire world in
each country's region, virtually every high
school student, while receiving a basic
education, joins a martial arts dojo to
unleash the power sleeping within every
human.
Zhi-An region's 3rd high school, with three
grades and around 5000 high school
students.
For the most part, are all beginners in the
dojo! Only an extremely small amount are
"intermediate members". And only three
can achieve the title of "Elite member"!
"Seeing is believing. Heh heh. See that?
Han Sen brother is different from the
other two." The burly guy curled his lips.
"Zhang Hao Bai and Liu Ting, their families
are all filled with wealthy people. Ever
since they were young, their families spent
an enormous amount of money to raise
and train them, which is why they are so
strong now. However, Han Sen is
completely different from them!"
The boy wearing the school uniform
nodded in agreement. "I also heard that
Han Sen brother's has a regular
background. He even lives in a low rent
house."
"Yes, for Han Sen brother to get to where
he is today, was entirely out of bitter
training. Relying on his fists and feet to
train. Totally different from Zhang Hao Bai
and Liu Ting."
The burly guy clenched his fist and took a
deep breath. "My goal is Han Sen brother,
and before I graduate from college, within
these four years, I will pass the dojo's test
and achieve the rank of "Elite member"!".
...
At this moment, the Han Sen brother they
are talking about is just following the
stream of people headed towards the third
gate with another boy in a sports uniform.
"Han, when that big blockhead who was
asking you for tips walked away, he was
praising you." The boy wearing the sports
uniform started laughing.
"Praising what a great person you are and
how you're so easy to talk to."
Han Sen laughed. "What, you jealous, Wei
Wen?"
"Jealous of you?" Wei Wen touched his
nose and laughed.
"In your dreams. I was sighing that the
blockhead doesn't even know 'Han Sen
Brother's' true side. But I remember in
vivid detail... that time on the dojo
competition platform, the 'Han Sen
Brother' he praises fought three people
consecutively. And those three high
schoolers couldn't even climb back up
again."
Han Sen laughed.
Indeed, that match was his rise to fame.
Han Sen hit Wei Wen's shoulder, "Let's go
home now."
Wei Wen's shoulder made an exaggerated
shake, "Han, lighter please. With that one
hit, my shoulder is about to shatter!"
"This again!"
Wei Wen is Han Sen's great friend who has
played with him ever since he was small.
Even though they aren't brothers by blood,
the feeling is close enough.
Elementary, Middle, High school.
Looking back, these two do indeed share a
deep bond.
"Eh?"
Wei Wen suddenly looks forward.
"Han, look, it's the one you have a crush
on!"
"Hm?" Han Sen also looks, and only s
the ponytailed girl with jeans and a white
polo T-shirt out of the entire crowd.
Han Sen's heart skips a beat.
A name swept across his heart -- Xu Xin!
Han Sen's crush on Xu Xin: Those who
know of this secret are small in number,
but good bro Wei Wen naturally knew ages
ago.
During his first year of high school, Han Sen and Xu Xin were in the same grade.
The first time Han Sen saw Xu Xin, he felt
like there was something bright in front of
him.
That said, during class time, with Han Sen
sitting in the back, for some reason,
cannot control himself: he unknowingly
looks towards Xu Xin's back. Just looking
silently.
He is satisfied with just looking at Xu Xin's
back.
Since the classes were scrambled again in
the second year, he and Xu Xin weren't in
the same grade anymore. However, every
time Han Sen sees Xu Xin, he cannot keep
his eyes off her.
"There is only one month left until exams."
Han Sen whispered to himself. "I had no
courage and no time for romance in the
past. In the final month, everyone is
frantically reviewing, and Xu Xin wants to
better herself. How can she distract
herself with romance? It is the same for
me, I cannot lose focus, or I will regret it
for the rest of my life."
"Whatever, this love... I'll just make it a
memory."
Romance....
Is bitter. The flower hasn't even bloomed
and yet has already withered.
Han Sen just wants to silently put all of
this at the bottom of his heart.
"You had your chance to go after her. Now
that there's only one month left." Wei Wen
shakes his head. "I'm afraid you'll never see
her again. In the future, it'll be too late to
even regret."
"Wei Wen" Han Sen shakes his head. "Stop.
Without achieving the title of "Fighter", I
will not distract myself with romance."
"Bro, you're quite cruel!"
Wei Wen raises his thumb. " 'Fighter' ? In
our entire school of 5000 people, not one
was able to achieve that rank. You dare say
that if you don't achieve the rank of
'Fighter', you won't "distract yourself with
romance?" Cow, you cow!"
"Hm?" Han Sen glances at a group of five
in the crowd outside the gate. "Zhang Hao
Bai?"
In the group of students outside the gate,
there are five people who are very
eye-catching, whose leader is at least 180
cm, wearing a white T-shirt, white and
long pants, and huge chest muscles. The
four people surrounding him, whether it
was brawniness or a scar on their face,
were just as fearsome. And that white
shirted teenager in Zhi-An section's 3rd
High School is indeed one of the three
with the title of "Elite" -- Zhang Hao Bai.
"Han Sen" snorted Zhang Hao Bai.
If you ask Zhang Hao Bai who he hates
most in this entire high school, the answer
will clearly be Han Sen!
Since one out of the three who have
earned the title of "Elite" is a girl, just the
two of those boys are "Elite" title
holders!
Also, Zhang Hao Bai comes from a rich
background while Han Sen is just a
regular person, living in a cheap, rented
home.
In grades-- Han Sen is way ahead of
Zhang Hao Bai!
In strength-- Both Han Sen and Zhang
Hao Bai have earned the title of "Elite", but
Han Sen once challenged three high
schoolers consecutively and beat them
until they couldn't even get back up. And
within these three, one of them was Zhang
Hao Bai. He even got a tooth beat out of
him that time!
And for conditions at home, clearly Zhang
Hao Bai has the money!
A good background, but comparing grades
and strength, Han Sen is far superior. In
school, whenever someone compliments
Zhang Hao Bai, someone would usually
bring up Han Sen to compare!
Resentment!
The resentment that Zhang Hao Bai holds
toward Han Sen is great.
"Let's go" Zhang Hao Bai licked his tooth,
which had a faint sense of pain. That time
he was beat until his mouth was full of
blood and lost a tooth.
"This Zhang Hao Bai, ever since that time
in the dojo, is much more well behaved
after receiving a beating. He won't ever
mess with you again." Wei Wen said
towards Han sen as he watched the group
of five get farther and farther.
Zhang Hao Bai?
Han Sen has never concerned himself
with such a person.
"I would rather deal with less than more"
said Han Sen as he walked home with Wei
Wen.
On the way home.
[drip, drip] on the street. The car's horn
sounded. As of now, all the cars use
electric energy, so at least there will be no
smell of gasoline on the street.
"Wei Wen, there is one more month until
the exam. During this month, let's put
forth our best effort." Han Sen and Wei
Wen walked on the street.
"At that dojo there, we can relax
temporarily. Do some restorative training
every day, while mainly concentrating on
culture studies. Our twelve years of work
were for this exam."
"Yea, twelve years of culture studies. This
exam determines our fate." Wei Wen also
sighed. "Exams, Exams. Just like an army of
ten thousand horses crossing a wooden
bridge*"
*AKA pain in the neck
"Yup." Han Sen nodded.
His home conditions aren't very good,
even though he has the title of "Elite". No
matter how poor his culture grade is, he
can always get a job of "Elite Bodyguard"
and easily earn a yearly salary of 20 to 30
thousand dollars. However, will Han Sen
be satisfied with just a job of being a
bodyguard?
At this time, around a thousand meters
above Zhi-An region.
A large, black-crowned golden eagle was
flying past the city. It's body was around
twenty meters long, like a huge fighter jet,
the feathers of its body had a cold,
metallic luster; the feathers on its head
were a secluded black, like a black crown.
Its huge talons were also golden.
A pair of sharp, blue, glowing eyes looked
down upon the human city, hiding a sliver
of killing intent.
"BOOM!"
The black-crowned golden eagle, who was
already flying super fast, suddenly
increased its speed exponentially, breaking
through the sound barrier within a
moment, reaching an appalling speed. At
the same time, an extremely high pitched
sound erupted from within the mouth of
the eagle. The frightening shockwave,
which could be seen to the naked eye,
spread rapidly downwards.
At Zhi-An's region's Zi-Tian road's
intersection, Han Sen was waiting for the
red light with Wei Wen.
Suddenly--
[AHN]
An ear piercing howl suddenly arose, but
this was not quite so like thunder.
Thunder's sound is great and deafening.
But this sound was ear piercing, Han Sen
felt a slight pain in his ear drums, with
some wrinkles of uncomfort arising on his
forehead. Many people on the street were
already covering their ears.
"That's the cry of a bird." said Han Sen as
looked up towards the sky.
"Hm?" surprised Han Sen.
Under the shock of the ear piercing howl,
a huge piece of glass in a skyscraper on the
neighboring street let out a deep [KA~~~
KA~~~] sound.
Lots of glass cracked open, and dozens of
glass fell from the high sky. Some smashed
against the pedestrian path, or hit people,
or even smashed against the lights on the
street.
[PAI!] [PENG!] [PIPA (crackling
noises)!] .....
There were bursting noises for a while.
And one of the glass fell against a
streetlight that was right next to Han Sen.
"Wah!" Wei Wen rapidly stepped back two
steps, dodging a piece of shattered glass.
And one of the glass shattered against the
ground and a piece was flying straight
towards Han Sen like a knife.
"Hm?" Han Sen saw out of the corner of
his eye.
However, there was no dodging. He just
stood there calmly. In an instant, his right
hand, like lightning, caught the piece of
glass that was flying towards him.
The piece of glass reflected Han Sen's
look. He tapped it twice and then
randomly threw it. Like a hidden weapon,
the piece of glass flew straight towards a
far away trash can and accurately went
inside the opening.
On the street, the cars that were affected
at first quickly went back to normal. And
the people on the street were having a
discussion. Some unfortunate ones were
injured, but most of them had no injury at
all.
"What strength." Han Sen looked towards
the sky.
"So much power in just one howl. It
must've been a powerful beast. Wei Wen,
weren't you good with beasts? Do you
know what kind of beast this is?"
Wei Wen squinted; a light of excitement
was within in the slit of his eyes.
"Sen, there is a defense system 500
meters above this city. This beast was
definitely flying above 500 meters. Even
with such distance, it's howl could still
have so much power. And regular beasts
wouldn't even dare howl above a human
city!"
"With such strength and arrogance, and
according to the sound... If I'm correct, this
should be one of the terrifying "black
crowned eagles!" said Wei Wen solemnly.
"Black crowned eagle?" Han Sen's eyes
flashed.
Of course he has heard of the infamous
black crowned eagle.
"The black crowned eagle is ranked three
out of the Diao species monsters." Wei
Wen's eyes shined.
"A grown black crowned eagle's body is
around 21 meters in length. Its wingspan is
around 36 meters and its flight speed
could reach up to 3.9 mach, which is 3.9
times the speed of sound. Using 340 m/s
as the speed of sound, that is 1326 meters
per second, which is 4774 kilometers in an
hour."
Han Sen knew that the black crowned
eagle was powerful, but once he heard the
extreme speed of 1326 m/s, he held his
breath.
One second, which is just one blink, and
it's already a thousand meters away.
"The black crowned eagle's feathers are
even harder than diamond. It probably is
as tough as a third-grade Ke Lei alloy." Wei
Wen excitedly added.
"There are videos online. The black
crowned eagle has followed hordes and
met armies. It has received fire from a
20mm fire-god cannon. A fire-god cannon
could shoot 7000 bullets per second. 7000
bullets per second is a stream of bullets!
And each bullet could pierce through a
50mm thick steel plate. However... even
under the fire-god cannon's barrage, the
barrage couldn't even hit one feather off of
the black crowned eagle."
"After that, a mysterious martial artist,
holding a Ke Lei alloy battle knife, made a
stream of light and cut the black crowned
eagle in half!" Wei Wen passionately said.
Han Sen's heart was also beating faster.
That video was spread around all over the
place, so he has seen it too.
"The title of fighter, I will definitely
achieve it some day... I want to become like
that senior*, able to hold a battle knife and
cut open monsters like the black crowned
eagle and the powerful devil gorilla." Han Sen thought to himself in his heart. Every
teenager has this dream, so of course it is
Han Sen's dream too!
*Senior like upperclassman not old man.
However, according to the internet, that
mysterious powerful fighter who cut the
black crowned eagle in half, is
internationally in the top 100; a super
fighter!
"Sen, Sen, what are you doing? We're
already home" Wei Wen shouted.
From this, Han Sen emerged from his
deep thought, looking at the sector made
up of a lot of tube-shaped buildings.
--Small South Coast sector һ The
government built this small, cheap rental
area. And Han Sen has been living in this
area for 18 years.
