†********Omniscient POV*********†
I know I have not properly explained the school environment.
I'll do just that right now.
"Pillar's High College" Is the most technologically advanced school in Nigeria.
Yes, Nigeria
"Pillar's High College" (PHC) has branches in all countries of all continents in the world.
And in every continent, it has the headquarters of branches in the most influential country of that continent.
Since it is being sponsored by the world's best 14 martial arts creators, it is the best school to study martial arts in.
Nigeria as an African country, popularly known as the "Giant of Africa", houses the HQ of Africa.
It has a perfect natural environment for the practice of martial arts.
"A martial artist must know and be one with nature" Once said by a great martial artist.
Although ironically, technology is not a part of nature, it's also not affecting them.
A martial artist, who knows how to make use of technological weapons and has a full knowledge of his environment and the changes that can occur at any time, is the definition of the world's best martial artist.
Due to Nigeria's poor use and implementation of technology, Pillar's High College being recognized as Nigeria's best advanced technological school is not surprising and not difficult to get the title.
Because of this, everyone around Nigeria and other country's citizens that reside in Nigeria wanted to go to that school.
And since it was only affordable by the super duper rich ones, only a few Nigerians attended the school even in their own country.
While some couldn't afford it, some simply don't want to put their kids in a school that teaches their children how to fight.
It goes against their so-called "Nigerian Morals".
The parents who allowed their kids to attend simply believed that it would be a great help for their kids to know how to defend themselves.
Ever since the school was established in Nigeria, the citizens became more interested in technology and the country started developing in different ways, especially technology-wise.
Martial arts became the trend in the whole world 17 years ago when a martial artist single-handedly went into a jungle.
We all know that jungles are filled with all kinds of predators.
He did not just go to any jungle, he went to the most dangerous jungle.
He went deep into "Darién Gap".
The old man was live-streaming his journey. The news broke on the internet.
People concluded that the man wanted to commit suicide, so he was just doing this to gain a little bit of attention.
95% percent of the people watching him already believed he would die since he was not wearing anything to protect him and he also wasn't holding any modern weapon.
He was only wearing a Shaolin Arhat robe and holding a long black Kitana.
Honestly speaking, who wouldn't tag the man "Crazy"? Even if you were there, you would mock him, wouldn't you?
The only thing that kept people glued to watch his journey was their curiosity.
Yes.
Their curiosity to see what kind of dangerous animals stays in the jungle for it to be tagged "World Most Dangerous".
Six months later after the beginning of the old man's suicidal adventure, the world was shocked by the news of his safe return.
Specifically on July 3rd, the Man had finished exploring the "WORLD MOST DANGEROUS JUNGLE" and came out alive.
The shocking thing was how he slaughtered every enemy he met on his way.
He also made some healing herbs using wild leaves, roots, and even some poisonous ones.
He used them to heal his bruises, or any minor injury anytime he gets injured.
Its magnificent healing took no more than 5 minutes to get rid of any minor bruises including the scar it is supposed to leave behind.
Some of the herbs even helped him adapt to the unfriendly environment in the jungle.
Aside from that, another eye-catching thing was his display of swift movements, and beautiful skills that made the usually ignored martial arts become a magnificent work of art.
His agility, the seriousness in his cold dark eyes, and the mysterious power and command behind his every swing of his Kitana.
That was when the world figured out that anime martial arts was real and beautiful indeed.
Newspapers, Magazines, All social media platforms, Billboards, and even textbooks, featured the old man's outstanding accomplishments and published the best of what they could from his Livestream.
He was a Hero, he brought martial arts into the spotlight, and he taught the world about the beauty of martial arts.
He became a legend. Even now, his magnificence is something everyone is still living on.
The world started showing interest in martial arts and started having dojos for training students.
It was a better way to fight since it'll teach you how to organize your fighting techniques and how not to act on instincts alone.
His styles were copied and duplicated since he set his camera in a clear view before fighting any monsters, which made it easier for to learn some people.
But there was one strange thing about this man, something that no one ever expected.
Something that made him even more mysterious.
That thing is:
He was mute, not literally but figuratively.
He never spoke a word to the world.
He occasionally speaks to his family, he was even caught on camera by a fan stalker and the world kept on wondering.
"He can talk? But why doesn't he say anything to the outside world?"
No one knew the answer to that, and most people have even given up trying to find out.
7 years later, that's 10 years ago, The martial artist then figured out a technique that helps in avoiding something that almost seems impossible.
You can avoid a bullet shot at you with martial arts.
It turns out that martial arts has more to it than its Beauty and brute force.
It needs calculations, determination, concentration, understanding, and a highly intelligent quotient.
Martial arts have become a way to save people and hurt people.
It's a way of training your physical prowess to the extent of achieving inhuman fits, something that would normally seem impossible.
Now technology has advanced to the extent that martial artists can use them.
Kitana has advanced, gauntlets, Spears, bows and arrows, and some other stone age weapons.
Now, Gideon's school was good evidence of technological advancement.
The school compound was filled with flying drones and cleaning robots.
His class's wall was in metallic silver paint. The walls were metal, they were not bricks.
The walls had a blue stripe line across them, that lit up a dim blue glow.
Each seat had a number, 1-110.
Every time a student wants to register in the school you have to choose a random number from the box and the number you choose is going to be your sit number for the rest of the semester.
Violation of this rule will lead to punishment, since the seat has the student's name on it, and the same goes for their school uniform.
All classroom has chairs and desks with the assigned numbers on them.
The rules of the school are absolute, and once you break them 5 times, you'll be sent out of the school.
