Chapter 18 - Legacy of the dead

"I don't want to die achieving nothing, my techniques may not be the best in the world, I may have never won, but, just but, if at least my lotus style can live on. I, I, I would b, be so happy."

Day in and out I trained. All to master my teachers technique, A style taught by a dead man.

Was it five years now since his death. I guess there's no better time than now to see if it works.

"This is a stunning match who would have thought that an underdog could beat the world tenth place. I think we just witnessed history in the making."

Boring is there no one who can compete against me?

"Hey man, did you hear? This new guy just entered the rankings and he's rising fast. Everyones saying he will beat you."

"Today's match is gonna be great. We have rank 5 against rank 15. Both just a year ago where nameless, but needless to say, whoever wins this match will become a legend."

"Fight."

It began in a flash and I was on the ground even faster.

"This is an insane upset of which the world has never seen before. the undefeated Roman, lost to the newbie Jack. I'm telling you this is the upset of the year."

The man who stood above me with no semblance of pride, no excitement, no joy. He, from the bottom of my heart, is a great man.

Isolating myself for half a year, I finished mastering the lotus style.

" The return of a giant has happened in an instant, immediately stealing the top spot from Jack, and becoming the world champion. May this name be put down in history, Roman Forest.

That was where my greatest rivalry was born, even when he gained strang new techniques, I never once lost, we kept on fighting for 8 years. Until my world started to crumble. On aghast that year after a tragic accident, my best friend of 8 years, was pronounced dead. The world turned upside down. My friends left when I needed them the most. Saying your just not the same any more, or it's no longer fun to hang out with you. I wanted to die, I gave a thought to suicide, but I stood in remembrance of my best friend, I held the top spot.

"Are my eyes deceiving me, after forty great years the giant has finally fallen, now we can name a ne."

My chest hurts, my arm tingles.

BLACK.
