Chapter 1 - A new start

In an abandoned warehouse, a few youths stood in school uniforms

"Alan! I am telling ya, you are fucked, mate!" A teen with a bulky build shouted towards another teen standing meters away from him

"Our leader is here! You are dead meat" Another teen shouted

"So you are the dude, wrecking havoc around here?" A teen with an average build said in a cold tone

This person was wearing a school uniform, and had dark brown hair along with brown eyes. He stood in front of a group of delinquents from the same school, it appeared as if, he was their leader.

The target of the group, whose name was Alan, just stood there with his hands in his pockets, it was as if he didn't give a damn about those in front of him.

"Attitude? That won't last any longer, boys, kill him!" The leader said with a smirk on his face

As soon as he said that, all the delinquents charged towards Alan, there were about thirty people in the group. Some were bare hand, while some carried bats with them.

Alan sighed, and looked at the horde coming towards him with an expression-less face. There was a shine in his eyes, which made him look even more handsome.

As soon as the first person appeared in Alan's range, he quickly punched the person in the torso without wasting any time, sending him a few meters away. He then quickly turned around and kicked another delinquent in his calf, sending him flying.

In all his battles, he took advantage of his speed, he didn't give his opponents a chance to react, and before they even knew what was happening, he sent them flying.

And, just like that, one by one, all the delinquents were defeated by this boy.

"What's your name?" The leader of the group asked with a smirk on his face

"Name is Alan, but you can call me God" Alan said indifferently

"I like you-" The leader said

"Sorry, but I am not gay" Alan said with a smug look on his face

"Huh, No, that's not what I meant, let me complete my sentence, I was saying, I like you, you are a fighter, why don't you join my gang? We will rule our school?" The leader said calmly

"No" Alan said

"You can be the vice leader?"

"No"

"50-50 partnership?"

"No"

"Okay, then let's just fight" The leader said as he cracked his knuckles. He had an ugly expression on his face

The leader rushed toward Alan and threw a punch at his stomach, Alan quickly blocked the punch with his forearm, and then retaliated with a kick aimed toward the calf of the leader. The kick sent the teen flying a few meters away.

The leader slowly stood up as wiped off the blood near his lips. "Blood?" He thought to himself before looking at Alan with a smirk on his face

"You, what was your name again?" The leader asked

"Alan, but I already-" Alan said but was interrupted

"Alan, it's a pleasure to fight you. I, Carlos, approve you off as a strong fighter, but it's a pity that after this battle you-"

"Yeah, whatever I gotta go to the supermarket" Alan said interrupting Carlos

Alan quickly ran towards Carlos and landed a kick on his face, Carlos didn't even get a chance to react, he was instantly pushed back by the collision.

Carlos' nose bled, and his face was full of scratches. "For real?" Carlos said

Carlos then ran towards Alan to punch him, but failed yet again, and got hit in his stomach. After receiving the blow, Carlos immediately spat blood and knelt down in pain.

"Well, it's done, See ya" Alan said indifferently as he turned around and started moving towards the exit

"Wait!" Carlos said as he slowly stood up, his body was drenched in sweat, and blood.

"What now?" Alan said in an annoyed tone as he looked behind

"Join my gang! With you, we can defeat the top gangs here, and conquer the city! We can be the ultimate delinquents!" Carlos said trying to persuade Alan

"Not interested! I don't wanna be the leader of dogs" Alan said as he started walking towards the exit

"You!" Carlos muttered, it was clearly visible that he was pissed off at Alan

Alan who was just a meter away from the exit, suddenly felt a chilling intent of rage behind him, he quickly turned around because of his instincts. After turning around, he saw Carlos running towards him with some kind of orange stones growing out of his forearms.

The stones were like branches, which joined each other to form a larger body, which was a blade-like extension of the arm. The stones were very beautiful, yet there was something uncanny about them.

At this point in time, Carlos was already in front of Alan. To counter this situation, Alan had to take the attack head on. Alan had an indifferent and a calm expression on his face, but in his mind he was panicking, he couldn't comprehend the situation in front of him.

Alan instinctively swung his hand towards the right, and a gush of wind generated in that direction, this wind slid Alan a meter or two away towards the left. He used the wind to push himself away from Carlos' attack, dodging it.

Carlos' eyes widened when he saw what had happened.

Alan looked at Carlos with coldness in his eyes.

Carlos who was now in front of Alan, suddenly got kicked on his calf by Alan, and was sent a few meters away

Alan coldly walked towards Carlos, there was an element of fear in the air

"You, you are a martial?" Carlos whispered

***

"This a new start, Rey, don't be sad, you will be just alright." A man said, in a calm tone, to a teen stuffing suitcases in the trunk of a black sedan.

After hearing this, the teen nodded and said, "Yes, father". After putting his luggage in the car's trunk, the teen walked towards his father and hugged him tightly, after that he moved towards a woman standing behind his father, and hugged her, while she cried.

The woman mumbled, "Promise, you will be alright, darling".

"Yes Maa, I'll be just fine," The boy said, trying to convince his sad mom

The boy then settled down in the car's backseat, and looked at his parents, and said, "Tell, Viti, to not cry. Bye dad, bye maa". After saying bye to his parents, the sedan took off.

The boy, was leaving his home, for his transition training, something that every heir, and every boy of the Gupta family had to go through. The boy had to live alone, with no family support, except an apartment, with rent paid for 2 years and money in his bank account, enough to last him a year.

The goal of this training, was for him to learn about his martial prowess, and explore them, he also had to learn and appreciate money that he earned, and had to understand the importance of minor comforts in his life.

After about 2 hours the car stopped in front of an apartment complex, which looked very old and dirty, he grabbed his luggage and went up to the second floor of the four-story building. There were 4 doors in front of him, The boy quickly pulled out a pair of keys from his pockets, and unlocked the door numbered 202.

On the other side of the door was a tiny room, it had a small bed, a small kitchen in the corner, and a study table. The room had a small bathroom as well.

On seeing his room for the first time, he said, "A new start? Huh?", he was visibly annoyed.

"Just twelve more years!"

The next day

"Alan Parker? This name feels weird" The boy thought to himself while looking at a few documents in his hands. He sat on his table, sipping on his tea

Suddenly someone knocked the door of his room. The boy opened the door, and in front of him stood a middle-aged man, the man was short, and fat, the wrinkles on his face made him look older than his actual age. "You are Alan?" The man asked

"Uhh, yes, I, I am Alan" The boy said

"Oh, So, I am the owner of this building. I know you have paid the entire rent for your two years, but If you do anything disturbing, or be a nuisance to others, I can still kick you" The man said

"Uh, yes, I will keep that in mind"

"Good" The man said before leaving

Alan closed the door and sat on his bed, there was a frown on his face

"To think that I, Reyansh Gupta, is staying as a tenant in a place like this"

***

Next day Alan went to his new school. He wore his school uniform, which consisted of Grey blazer, light blue shirt, red tie, and gray pant, he wore his uniform in a very tidy and a formal way. He looked like the perfect student.

Alan reached his class, and loudly slid the door open. As soon as he opened the door, all the students started staring at him, Alan thought that it was probably because he was a new face, but then he saw an astonishing sight.

He saw that a student was licking the shoes of a few students who looked like delinquents, the scene was really disgusting.

"Probably some bullies" Alan thought to himself, before ignoring them and sitting on an empty seat near the window.

The class was terrified of the bullies, but suddenly someone dared to enter the class during their fun time. Even, the bullies stared at Alan with irritation on their faces. "You!" One of the bullies shouted towards Alan

Alan ignored the bully and stared out of the window looking at the clear blue sky

From the group of five bullies, two boys walked towards Alan.

"You fucker, who do you think you are?" One of the two boys said as he threw a punch towards Alan

Alan quickly blocked the punch by grabbing the boy's hand, and looked at the bully with a cold gaze.

"You-" The bully said, but suddenly started groaning

Alan exerted a little pressure on the hand of the bully, and this pressure cracked the knuckles of the bully

The pain made him scream, he tried to pull is hand back, but Alan's grip was very tight.

After a second, Alan let go of the hand and looked at the other bully who stood in front of him

Before the bully could even attack, Alan gave him an uppercut punch, knocking him unconscious on the ground

The remaining three bullies, who were away from the scene, looked at Alan with their eyes wide open. One of the three bullies was a blonde boy, while the other two were girls, The blonde boy's right hand was wrapped around the neck of one of the girls, and was placed on the chest of the girl, while the left hand was under the skirt of the other girl, there was a blush on this girl's face.

Alan looked at them coldly before turning his head towards the window.

The blonde boy quickly got up, and ran out of the classroom, followed by the two girls.

Once the three bullies left, a sudden burst of laughter sounded around the classroom, everyone looked at the new student with an expression of gratitude.

"What's your name?" A girl asked

"He is so handsome" Another girl commented

"Bro, you are too good, you took out two of the bullies while sitting on the seat!" A boy said

"Smurf or wat?" Another boy said

Alan ignored these statements and just looked at the blue sky, thinking about his family

Suddenly, the boy sitting in front of Alan turned around and said "They won't leave you"

"What?" Alan asked with irritation on his face

"These people, they are a part of a bigger group, soon Johnny will come back with more delinquents, what will you at that time? I suggest you go back home" The boy said with worry in his eyes

"Thanks for the heads-up, but I can handle some petty delinquents" Alan said

The boy didn't say anything and turned back

After school ended, Alan got up from his seat, prepared to leave, when suddenly the blonde delinquent named Johnny entered the classroom followed by eight more delinquents.

"This again?" Alan thought to himself
