Chapter 8 - Chapter 1

9.800 miles to go

"Alright, it's time to start training"

"So what's first '1000 punches' <- Mocking Yuta"

"No, for this you'll need to master the use of Zeus's power"

"Oh, alright"

"So first thing you'll need to do, is summon him, for that you'll need to say 'I summon the God Zeus, Ruler of Worlds, God Almighty Sux' Got it?

"Yeah got it, I summon the God Zeus, Ruler of Worlds, God Almighty"

Clouds form, thunder begins, lightning strikes

"Sux"

"WHAT DID YOU SAY ABOUT ME BRAT"

"I summoned you-"

"YOU DARE SAY I SUCK, YOU SUCK"

"No I didn't mean it.. like that.. I'm-"

"Cmon he's just being honest Zeus, you're kinda lame"

"Whatever, so what am I doing here"

"Well, Tusk and I are currently traveling, so I thought it'd be a good time for you to train him"

"You want me, a God, teach YOU'RE student?"

"Yeah I think that's what I just said"

"Fine, but if the brat dies it isn't on me"

"Very well"

"Hey brat"

"Yes"

"Make sure to call me God"

"Very well"

"Alrighty, Tusk, Zeus, let's continue our Journey"

..

"So God, what is your training like"

"Well its normal directional training"

"Oh that shouldn't be difficult-"

"But if you do something wrong, or I get bored, I send a lightning rod at you"

"Aha and how powerful is this rod"

"It's enough"

"I see"

"Tusk, you could always-"

"No, I'm not giving up on my revenge"

"('Does he think I'm like every other sensei in anime'), I wasn't going to say that, I was going to say you could always not use a sword"

"No, I feel like this sword is a necessity, it's a power of a God afterall.. speaking of which, is your sword any special"

"Eh, not really, it's a boring sword, nothing special"

"Oh, I see"

"Yeah, but if you still want to use the sword go ahead"

"Alright"

100 miles later

...

"Hey so do you know anything else about Shuiko'

"Well, he's an amazing Assassin, incredible even"

"How good is he"

"Well, he's killed over 10.000 people"

"10.000. So he's just a murderous piece of scum"

"Well he hasn't always been like that, he used to be pretty friendly"

"How so"

"Well he would always help out his mother, any chance he could"

"With what"

"You ask a lot of questions, his mother was sick, she was dying, yet she couldn't go to the hospital or anything"

"How come"

"Well because her husband, Shuiko's father, wouldn't let her, but it didn't stop Shuiko for trying his hardest to help"

"Then his mother got pregnant, but the child's father wasn't the same as Shuiko's"

"An affair?"

"No, Shuiko's mother was raped, by a guy in the town, anyway so then Shuiko's father tracked down this man, and went to beat him. However he died in the process, and despite Shuiko's anger towards his father, he felt sad, and ashamed of it, so he tracked down the guy who raped his mother, and killed his father, and he killed both of them"

"I see"

"And it triggered a reaction in his mind, and he started killing the town, everyone in it, and ultimately a government agency found out about this, and now pay him to pull off their assassinations. So that's how he got to this point in his life"

"Hey, why do you know so much about him"

"He's my older brother"
