Chapter 28 - Lucky Encounter (Chapter 28)

------------------------------------------------------------------------Location: Kojo cliffside (Where marketplaces are more prominent): |Branch 3 (army) assigned to kojo cliffside| In a certain location in Kojo Cliffside there is a warehouse type building where branch 3 is assigned to live in with three different training camps next to it. All three training camps are different.

Training camp A: Is widespread arena and is more natural with just a dirt/sand covered area.

Training camp B: Is more technological with different types of dummy robots and the walls can move and different things happen in them.

Training camp C: simulation type room.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

A light breeze galloped through Training camp A. The arena was filled with eager scholars who had just become cadets of the Western Army.

They all wore the same white top and grey trousers with rough black boots, they had become cadets and already awakened their Sei, this was their first real lesson with Vice commander Gowa Nakayama.

The scholars stood in silence some already urinating on themselves with nervousness, some standing straight with eagerness, some not caring at all. The amount of people talking grappled the arena until everyone hushed at once, when the footsteps of a heavy man entered.

It was Gowa Nakayama #1 Vice commander of Branch 3.

He was a tall black man with a massive muscular body, his eyes showed the colour of bright brown, Gowa also he had a black/grey toned ponytail due to ageing that tied up at the back of his head the rest of his head was bald and had a grown out black bushy beard.

He wore an all-black kimono just the outside and no inside layer, Gowa also proudly wore The Silver Byakko crest pin representing the Western army. On the back on his hand was his Conquered mastery symbol for Iron (鉄).

His serious look captivated the arena he walked in slowly, his footsteps echoing the widespread arena.

Gowa was a fifty-six-year-old man still feeling like he was in his prime.

A random girl scholar at the back whispered to the boy scholar next to her "wow is that Gowa Nakayama I can't believe I'm seeing him up close like this!" the scholar whispered. "I know right hes so cool, I've heard hes never lost a one-on-one battle with anyone. The boy scholar whispered.

"Well, I heard he defeated a whole army with one arm behind his back.. oh, and he was blindfolded he didn't get wounded once ". The girl scholar chattered back at the boy.

Gowa stopped in front of the scholars his bulky arms crossed, each one of the scholars not making a sound except the two whispering at the back. Suddenly Gowa's serious face turned into a gritty all teething smile while his arms were folded up.

"HEHEHEH HEHEHE HEHEH I didn't realise we were raising a bunch of scrawny chickens". Gowa scratched his beard "You probably already know who I am so no need to introduce myself.. hmm what was I supposed to say again" Gowa rubbed his head and picked his nose with his pinkie eating the bugger.

The two scholars at the back turned to each other in confusion while Gowa struggled to remember what he was supposed to say to them. "This is the same Iron Fist Gowa right??" they both scratched their heads.

"Ahh yeah I'm supposed to test your strength and since you're with me it's gonna be a little different." Gowa grinned until he saw a scholar at the front put his hand up , everyone seemed to freeze in shock. The scholar was acting quite confident and prestigious as if he wasn't scared at all. "Were we supposed to study for this" The scholar asked with a shrugged expression on his face.

Gowa walked towards the scholar his expression chilling and stood in front of the scholar. Gowa quickly punched an inch away from connecting to the scholars face. "You don't study the battlefield… The battlefield studies you boy" a shockwave from Iron fist Gowa's punch processed to blow a gust of wind towards everyone from the front to the back they all felt the shockwave's powerful but held back force.

The scholar's face expression changed to become screwed and scared and in an instant the scholar who had his hand up started to urinate on himself, everyone seemed to murmur.

Gou sniffed the air and bellowed in laughter "HEHEHEHEHE HEEHEHEH.. you pissed yourself didn't you" The boys eyes seemed to spark up with tears and he left crying.

"Right, who else came here to study!" Gowa shouted his facial expression completely serious. No one dared to answer, the arena completely silent. "Good then lets..". Gowa's eyes seemed to move like he wasn't staring at the students but something near the Arena entrance.

In front of the entrance stood a slightly tall middle-aged man. Tanned skin amber eyes and ginger long slicked back hair, he had a bit of a stubble created beard and wore an oversized black coat with its collar flared out and a red inner layered shirt he also wore the silver crest pin of Byakko.

He was the #2 vice commander of Branch 3 Katashi Kigoma, he seemed to also be the slim muscular type having a sword holster on his waist with no sword and a cigarette in his mouth.

Katashi stared at Gowa lighting up his cigarette in the process nobody seemed to notice him except Gowa who folded up his arms and laughed walking over to the front entrance. "HEYY KATASHI YOUR BACK ALREADY!" Gowa slapped Katashi's back with accidental force making Katashi stumble slightly, but he shrugged it off and kept smoking.

"I need to talk to you old man". Gowa's face changed into a serious one and they walked out of the arena.

Each and every one of the scholars in the arena stood silent shocked and confused to why their teacher had just left the arena without saying a word to them.

They stopped near an alleyway Katashi finished his smoke and stamped on it afterwards. He sighed and looked at Gowa. "I need your help." Gowa folded his arms and turned away from Katashi.

"Unno what I always say.. stop being a hero and start acting like a vice commander this time I'm telling you not asking" Gou looked back with such a serious gaze it made the atmosphere tight.

Katashi pulled out another cigarette and sparked it pointing at Gowa "Don't forget why we even joined the army in the first place to help people right.. as you've heard I've been away on a recon mission for the west.. well, that's all bull I've actually been spying on the southern region for the past month".

Gowa turned and suddenly channelled his dark red aura into his mastery on his hand his whole arm turned into thick glossy iron while he slowly walked towards Katashi with his head shallowed down. "…You risked causing a catastrophic war between regions for what.. your ideals…your justice… YOUR REVENGE!" Gowa ran towards Katashi.

Katashi stood still not moving at all he knew Gowa would win the fight easily and he also didn't want to fight a long-time friend that has helped him countless times in the past.

Gowa leaned in towards Katashi ready to teach him another valuable lesson until he seemed to trip on nothing at all and fall to the ground losing his balance.

" No..No…No this is all wrong we can't have Iron fist Gowa harming one of my clients now can we now".

Gowa knew that voice as clear as day he looked up and In front of him,

stood a young man with charming looks and short blonde loose type hair he wore a cream/white coloured suit matching with a cream fedora finishing the outfit off with a inside blue designed shirt brown leather formal shoes, a cream tie and small black square shades covering his eyes.

He smiled charmingly his body posture in a wierd position one hand in his pocket the other one on top of his fedora.

It was the one and only information broker Mr Luck.
