A black haired boy with a determined expression blocked an upcoming lethal kick to his head. Looking through Tooly's eyes we see a violet-black haired girl smiling at him.
Back at the umbrella sect, Shin was diligently sparring with Cera.
The umbrella sect had a similar system for motivating their underlings.
A leaderboard that displayed were by screens across the base, each differ in age categories.
With Cera at 5th and Shin at 4th in the age 10 category.
With kids spectating, making noise all throughout.
Gosent the referee of the spar was examining the two talents with a startled expression.
'These kids are insane.. What was I trying to achieve when I made that frightening remark the other day. These kids are just..'
Deranged.
With Shin's expertise in wolf kung fu was seemingly equal with Cera's finesse in taekwondo.
Shin smirked and said to Cera with a serious tone.
"We aren't really getting anywhere with this."
"Oh yeah? I can see that. Lets kick things up a notch."
It was then that both, cancelled their specialised style and opted for a more flexible style.
The orphans called it, "Free play".
Their fighting technique that mixes more viable options incorporated with their strengths and styles.
Shin stood sharp while Cera bounced lightly.
The girl ran at him with sickening speed, faced her right sole at the belly of her opponent.
Upon reaching a comfortable range she then let out a spring loaded kick that made the air around it shudder.
Shin panickly dodged left and tried to grab the foot to his advantage as he tried, Cera reeled it back changed the angles of her kick and tried to take out Shin's head out.
Shin took the blow simultaneously he swept her feet off.
Shin reeled back from the pain and wiped his bloody nose.
Cera stood up and presumed her nauseating bounciness.
The spectating kids cheered in awe as the oprhans displayed their vast potetial.
It was Shin's turn to take the initiative.
He ran at Cera with a oppresive presence. As he clenched his fists tighly.
Cera met his charge with her bouncy flow.
Both kicked cohesively, until the pain was too much for her. She backed down to catch her breath.
It was a fatal mistake.
Unrelenting, Shin dashed and landed a punch on Cera's chest.
He added more kicks, Cera dodged and blocked while struggling to breath.
Shin actioned a left hook from below cera dodged and was instantly met with his devestating right.
Cera back stepped.
But Shin didnt let go.
The boy jumped.
'Never jump in an infight stupid.'
She spat blood and performed a kick that users her left feets elevation as leverage for her right.
But it was Shin's bait.
"Got you."
The jump wasnt a pounce but a backflip. He flashingly dodged and he landed in a way that gave him space to dash.
Immediately he charged at confused Cera, faced his body sideways while stretching both arms, hitting her torso.
It connected.
Cera knocked far.
Blood and sweat scattered in the white sparring mat.
She landed on the floor and coughed blood.
"Damn, im done."
She gestured her hand and declared Shin as the winner.
The crowd goes dummy wild as they witnessed a masterful act of what a mundane human can do in terms of martial arts.
Gosent smiled and stood up in excitement.
"The winner is Shin Altair! He will be moving up the third place in the leader boards."
"HAHAHA! EAT IT!"
Words that shouldn't be said by a little girl wearing glasses came out.
"Fuck your noisy ass, imma just lay here for a while."
"Good game, easy dubs"
Cera stretched her arm out to gesture a middle finger.
While Shin took his tongue out and got off the stage.
While descending he thought of his two brothers.
'Jhaun, Fin. Im doing good here, im finally making a name for myself now that you two stupid bogans are gone. I'd be lying if I didn't miss you though.'

In the north east part of the Quadrant a brown rascal was watching videos on how to be a success entrepreneur on his newly bought smartphone. Cozily in his cheap apartment with no extra decoration which was made available to him with the sect's kindness.
Jhaun wanted to be free. Free from pain, struggle and insecurity. He settled in a town that had no problems like criminals or gangs..
After arriving to the town of New Butuan he quickly settled and chose the cheapest apartment available. With all the cash he received he could live here for a whopping 15 years. Eating nothing but the cheapest consumables like synthetic paste as he would hope and planned he bumped that u by 20 years plus extra savings.
Before leaving the Sect's base he scouted this town beforehand as it had a decent rate of growth in income and population. Leaving him a lot of opportunities to capitalise on.
'Cunning me..'
The town was estimated to be a city at the time that he would reach the age of 16. Quite splendid planning for Jhaun really.
He paused the video and stood up from his bland bed. Opening the windows.
Revealing a view on the hustle and bustle that was apparent all throughout the city.
"Huh, i hope you two bogans are doing okay. I'm struggling to wait anymore time to talk to you Shin. Why are they even restricting calls to trainees man, monthly calls seem too cruel. Atleast for me. And to you Finsley I say happy birthday ya bogan.."
***
Fin sneezed.
Seemingly drained yet he wore a grin.
"I win!"
Quickly he covered his mouth disturbing snow that covered his torso
'Shhuuut the flip up you buffoon."
He was cold but he couldn't be bothered.
The wolf was out of sight miraculously.
His story wasn't finished.
