Yu Xian was an avid fan of Wuxia stories
He would spend his mornings watching them and his evenings reading them.
From old classics such as ' The Five Phoenix Heroes of the Prosperous East' to newer works such as ' Hidden Genius Disciple's Guide to Martial Arts', he genuinely enjoyed every single one.
It had basically become an obsession for him
And when he was eventually allowed to practice martial arts and combat sports in real life, Yu Xian was completely mesmerized.
It felt like a door had opened to him.
Punching, Kicking, Grappling, and every manner of fighting techniques became available to him.
Yu Xian learned whatever he could, copied whoever he could, and practiced whenever he could. He was completely in his element.
It didn't take long before the words ' genius' and ' prodigy' were used when referring to him.
…
' So where did I go wrong?' Yu Xian hung his head in frustration, the soft bench offering a little respite to his melancholy
" Boss Yu, don't worry, it's only a matter of time before our Heavenly Demon Gang conquers this school as East Imperial Academy's number one gang." Idiot Bei proclaimed
" After that, we'll beat the Divine Fist Club down from the Prosperous East's top spot." and Idiot Aaron followed up
" Eventually becoming the greatest gang in the entire world." Dog Bei continued
" Maybe even becoming the sixth major world power in the process." Chicken Loser boastfully predicted
Before the insults within Yu Xian's head became even more creative, the fools' next few words brought him to think of the true reason for his predicament. The one he would never ever admit to another living soul.
" Then by that time, our leader's fame as the Heavenly Demon will be immortalized for centuries to come."
" The founder of the Heavenly Demon Gang, our Boss Yu, is the only one worthy of such a legend."
' My Chuunibyou Days…'
" Damn it all!" Yu Xian stood up, shouting, surprising both of his followers.
" Big Bro Yu?" " What's wrong Brother Yu?" the two inquired
" …Nothing, I just remembered that I haven't had breakfast yet."
Yu Xian quickly came up with whatever excuse he could find before the other two's conversation became any more ridiculous.
' The only legend I want to have is being a genius fighting champion and the only thing I want to conquer are weight classes. But I've pretty much backed myself into a corner with all this Heavenly Demon nonsense.'
The two followers glanced at each other before turning to their leader.
" Sure thing Brother Yu, I haven't had breakfast as well."
" What're you craving for Big Bro? Your loyal follower will get it for you."
Yu Xian paused for a few moments before suddenly laughing
' these guys…'
" I'm pretty much in the mood for some Adobo myself, but first we'd have to find the school's cafeteria first." he replied
" I heard there's multiple cafeterias here, I wonder which one serves stir-fried vegetables." Aaron commented
" Whatever it is they're gonna serve, it's probably gonna be good." Bei Xuan declared " though, for the record, I prefer anything egg-related."
" Let's go." Yu Xian smiled
And with that, the three went on their way.
