Chapter 1 - The Special Technique

In a world where strength, abilities, and technique determine power, lived a young boy named Harp Fixie (16 years old).

Born in Osaka, Japan, Harp eagerly awaited the Tournament Of Geniuses, held every 3 months. Only those with extraordinary powers could enter, and Harp was one of these prodigies.

At the young age of 16, Harp had earned his place in the tournament, ready to make his mark on the world.

"Mother! Mother! ToG accepted my invitation! I'm going to Tokyo next month!" Harp said with excitement.

"Really, dear?! I'm so happy for you!" replied Harp's mother, Senyie Fixie.

"Well, well, well, my boy is all grown up!" said his father, Oyu Fixie. "Come here, Harp. Your old man will teach you the clan's technique before your departure to Tokyo."

"Our clan has a special technique? Why haven't you told me about this, father?" Harp asked.

"It's because this technique is only taught during special events," his father explained.

"What's it called, father?"

"It's called Hane no Me. This technique activates when your eyes turn red and yellow."

"I want to learn it now, father!"

"Yes, I will teach you! But first, we can't practice on an empty stomach."

For the past two weeks, Harp had practiced "Hane no Me" with his father but saw no improvement or signs of mastering the technique.

While lying in bed, Harp felt worried that he wouldn't learn "Hane no Me" in the next two weeks. Lost in thought, he glanced out his window at the moon. As he stared for two minutes, the moon suddenly became very clear to him, with visible spots.

Confused at first, he rushed to his mirror and saw that his eyes weren't their usual brown but were red and yellow. He ran to his parents' bedroom and woke them both up.

"Dad! Mom! My eyes, I finally learned 'Hane no Me'!"

"WOAH! You actually did it!" exclaimed his father.

"I'm so proud of you, son!" said his mother with excitement.

"Now, son, let me explain what 'Hane no Me' can do. It has three abilities. The first allows you to see and sense your opponent's exhaustion. The second is called 'Kaen Pitto,' where flames attach to the enemy's body upon your gaze and ignite. And finally, the third ability, 'Seirei Buki,' lets you summon a sentient sword."

"Wow, this technique is really powerful, father!"

"It is, but there are other versions of 'Hane no Me' that you can unlock."

"Ah, then I'll try my hardest to unlock them, father!"

"I know you will!"

They chatted excitedly all night until the sun rose, then continued to practice using 'Hane no Me.'

After two weeks of preparation, Harp was ready to depart from Osaka to Tokyo. After a two-hour journey, he finally saw the towering building where the tournament would take place. As he walked towards it, he observed many formidable warriors already gathered.
