The scene opens with a shot of a dojo in a quiet neighborhood. Inside, we see Koji, a young boy with messy black hair and determined eyes, practicing his martial arts moves.
Sweat glistens on his skin as he lands a perfectly executed kick.
Suddenly, the door to the dojo slides open and in walks Tsukasa, Koji's childhood friend.
Tsukasa is taller than Koji with spiky blond hair and a carefree grin. "Hey, Koji, what's up?"
Tsukasa says as he slams his bag down on the floor. "Nothing much," Koji replies as he wipes the sweat from his forehead. "Just training like always." "You're always so serious, Koji," Tsukasa says with a chuckle.
"You need to loosen up a bit." Koji rolls his eyes. "I'm serious about becoming the best warrior I can be. I can't afford to slack off." Tsukasa smirks. "Well, lucky for you, I'm here to help you with that. I've got some new moves I want to show you." Koji raises an eyebrow. "New moves?" Tsukasa nods. "Yeah, I've been training with my grandpa, who's a master of some ancient martial arts techniques. He's been teaching me some really cool stuff." Koji's interest is piqued. "Alright, show me what you've got." Tsukasa grins and the two boys move to the center of the dojo. Tsukasa proceeds to demonstrate some flashy new moves that leave Koji impressed and excited. "That's amazing, Tsukasa!" Koji exclaims. "I've never seen anything like it." Tsukasa smirks. "I told you my grandpa was a master. Maybe one day, I'll be as good as him."
Koji nods, a determined look on his face. "And maybe one day, I'll be even better than you." The two friends laugh and continue to practice their moves, their bond strengthened by their shared passion for martial arts. As Koji and Tsukasa practice their moves, they hear a commotion outside the dojo. The two rush to the door and see three shady-looking individuals chasing after two girls, Arisu and Botan, who are running towards them. "What's going on?" Tsukasa asks. "I don't know, but we can't let them hurt those girls," Koji replies, his eyes narrowing with determination. The two boys quickly dash towards the commotion and confront the three individuals, who turn out to be members of a notorious street gang. "Hey, what do you think you're doing?" Koji demands. One of the gang members snickers. "Mind your own business, kid. We're just having some fun." Koji's fists clench. "This isn't fun for the girls you're harassing. Leave them alone." The gang members chuckle and one of them pulls out a knife. "Make us, if you can."
Koji and Tsukasa exchange a quick glance before nodding at each other, ready to take on the gang. The two friends use their martial arts skills to take down the gang members, with Koji using his speed and agility and Tsukasa using his strength and power. Despite their training, however, the gang members prove to be tough opponents. Koji and Tsukasa take a few hits, but they refuse to back down. As they fight, they notice Arisu and Botan watching from a safe distance, their eyes filled with gratitude and admiration for the boys' bravery. Eventually, Koji and Tsukasa manage to defeat the gang members, who flee the scene. The two friends are exhausted but proud of their victory. "You alright, Botan?" Tsukasa asks as he approaches the girls. Botan nods, her eyes shining with admiration. "Thank you for saving us." Koji smiles. "We couldn't just stand by and watch. Are you both okay?" Arisu nods. "Yes, thank you so much. You guys are amazing. "Koji and Tsukasa exchange a smile, their bond strengthened by their shared love of martial arts and their desire to protect others.
A week has passed since Koji and Tsukasa's encounter with the street gang. In that time, the two boys have enrolled in the Warrior's Academy, a prestigious school known for producing some of the greatest martial artists in the world.
As they walk towards the academy gates, Koji and Tsukasa are wearing the official school uniform. Tsukasa's spiky hair has been dyed a lighter shade of blonde, and he now sports a trendy undercut style that suits him perfectly. Koji's hair has been trimmed and styled into a sleek, black cut that was quite shorter than what it was. "Can you believe we're actually here?" Tsukasa says with excitement.
Koji nods, his eyes filled with determination. "I can't wait to start training and become the best warrior I can be."
As they enter the academy, they are greeted by the bustling activity of students training in various martial arts styles. Koji and Tsukasa feel a surge of excitement as they take in the sights and sounds of the academy.
Over the next few days, the two boys immerse themselves in their studies, attending lectures on strategy and technique, as well as rigorous training sessions with their classmates. They quickly make new friends among their fellow students, including a talented female warrior named Hana and a mischievous young boy named Taro.
Despite the challenges they face, Koji and Tsukasa are determined to succeed and become the best warriors they can be. As they train and learn, they develop their skills and hone their techniques, pushing themselves to the limits of their abilities.
As the prologue arc comes to a close, Koji and Tsukasa stand at the edge of a new journey, their paths leading towards the ultimate goal of becoming the ultimate warrior.
