"What? Are you kidding me? How could I go to a place like that?!" Hoshi shockingly asked. The underground arena is almost in every city. It is the grey zone in China, a boundary between norman people and underground society.
The fight on the arena has various types and prize for the winner, very suitable for cultivating the fighting experience. But that place is one of the underground society, it is the lawless zone which everything could happen. Moreover, isn't he just offend the underworld's princess today? Does Saturn want his finger cut off?
[Don't be too nervous, she doesn't even know your name. Onigawara house is located in Hubei, do you think that girl would run to Guizhou?]
"That's...true"
[Get to sleep. Tomorrow you should tell your mom and dad that you will study some martial arts. Then we will find a chance to participate in an underground match.]
"Alright" He nods. "Saturn, you can't teach me that? I think you can do everything."
[I can do everything, but I'm not good at teaching people]
"Oh"
....
"Hoshi, you want to learn martial arts? Why?" Mr. Amanogawa asked curiously. In his opinion, learn in HUA doesn't need any skill to fight people. As for dragon hunting arts, isn't its teacher in HUA? Why does his son demand this kind of thing?
Eventually, Hoshi could say he learned to fight in the underground arena so he just mumbled something about prepare before the enroll which make his father agreed. Then, the boy going to choose which institute he want to study with. It must be located in Guizhou, but not too close to his home so he could use traffic problems as a reason to sleep outside.
In the end, after a long time of consideration, he decided to go to Thai martial arts school in Liuchi city named Lerd Rith school(It's mean excellent in Thai language.). This martial arts school has a long history, it is one of the most famous Thai martial arts school in China.
It is founded by a martial artist from Thailand which is rumored that he was a military officer when the country has fallen. Lerd Rith school didn't only teach Muay Thai, but including other weapons art as well. It has thousands of pupils learning in this camp, not to mention countless alumni.
Due to Saturn's trick, Hoshi became a person that knows the value of time. After he chooses the school, he packed his stuff and catch the train in the evening, before arrived at Liuchu city the next morning.
"Well... how should I say it.... seeing at my eyes is a little bit shocking" He mumbled while looking at the wooden board said 'Lerd Rith martial art school'
At first, he understands that Lerd Rith school will look like those normal martial arts school. A building with single massive tool flooring with pads. Not even in his wildest dream to think that Lerd Rith school would look like a small village.
Liuche is a Rural area that contained the whole Thai community. It is full of buildings either apartment or office. Each apartment would be at least six Thai families live together depend on the building's size.
But for Lert Rith school. It is in contrast to the whole city. A large area was built with small Thai houses made from wood, these houses were lifted off the floor around two to three meters. If Hoshi doesn't see weapons laid under the house and a group of people training intensely, he might think he got lost to some retro village or tourist attraction of Liuche.
"Hey, kid. Are you going to apply Lerd Rith school?" The voice comes from the back made Hoshi flinched since no one except Saturn that calls him a kid.
As he turned back, he saw a muscular man at his forties walking to him. His black hair has been cut until short. He wore shorts and a t-shirt, showing his arms with tattoos on them.
His tattoos are different from yakuza's tattoo. Instead of paint, it has letters with an animal on it as their belief. He found he like this kind of tattoo more than Onigawa's styles a lot.
"Eh, yes, yes. I'm going to learn at HUA so I want to learn some martial arts." He smiles and answers truthfully...at least some part of the truth. "I wish I could have a 2 weeks course. Do you have anything like that?"
"Two weeks? Sure." He stunned a little bit before talking with a little disdain voice. "We have a course for an amateur too."
[Amaeture? Well, considering that you would learn for just two weeks. If I don't know you before I might think like this guy too.] Saturn chuckled.
"But it's just two weeks, how much could I learn?" Hoshi asked. In this whole place, the only one who didn't think Hoshi is an amateur might be Saturn. Even Hoshi himself doesn't believe he could learn something in two weeks.
This could be understood, martial arts is different from other subjects which could be learned by reading books and doing some tests. the one learning it must practice and practice countless time. For someone who wishes to learn them for two weeks could be called amateurs without a doubt.
"Don't you think you are too overestimate me?" He asked curiously.
[You are the one who underestimates yourself. Your gift... all I could say is your gift isn't something that humans should have. If anyone knows what you can do... They might jealous you till death.]
