A Day in the Life of Rujin
The shrill ringing of an alarm ripped Rujin from sleep. "Moans Good morning, ma'am," he mumbled, his voice thick with sleep. He glanced at his clock: 1 PM! A wave of panic washed over him. He scrambled out of bed, showering quickly, grabbing a piece of chicken from the table, and gulping it down. He threw on his uniform, snatched his backpack, and bolted out the door. He was late, desperately late, for school.
He burst through the school gates just as the bell was ringing. Relief washed over him, but it was short-lived. A glint of metal in the bushes caught his eye. Curiosity overriding caution, he cautiously approached, retrieving a small, sleek gadget. He examined it closely, completely engrossed.
"Hey! Get back to class!" a stern voice barked. Startled, Rujin quickly shoved the gadget into his bag and hurried to his classroom, his heart pounding.
He slipped into his seat just as the teacher entered. "Good afternoon, class. Please settle down. I have an announcement. We have a new student joining us today. She should be here any minute."
A knock echoed at the door. The teacher opened it to reveal a girl with bright, curious eyes and a warm smile. "Welcome, Ms. Hannah Richard, to our class. Please introduce yourself."
Hannah nodded, a slight blush coloring her cheeks. "Hello, everyone. I'm Hannah Richard. Please take care of me."
The class erupted in applause. Several boys exchanged excited glances, their eyes fixed on the newcomer. Rujin, however, remained distracted, his gaze glued to the window.
"Okay, Ms. Hannah, you can sit wherever you like," the teacher announced. He noticed Rujin staring out the window and gestured towards an empty seat next to him. Hannah walked over, her eyes meeting Rujin's. She sat down, her presence filling the air with a subtle, sweet fragrance. Rujin's eyes widened. He was completely captivated.
"Hey, Rujin," Hannah said softly, a smile playing on her lips. "It's been a while since we last saw each other, hasn't it? Rujin White?"
Rujin didn't respond, his gaze fixed on the window, seemingly oblivious to her presence. Hannah gently poked him, her touch light but insistent. Slowly, he turned, revealing his face, partially obscured by earphones. His eyes met hers, and his jaw dropped. It was her – his girlfriend
Recess arrived, and the schoolyard buzzed with activity. Rujin and Hannah found a quiet corner beneath a sprawling oak tree, their hands accidentally brushing as they spoke. The air crackled with unspoken feelings, a silent understanding passing between them. Nearby, a chorus of envious whispers rose from the other boys, their stares burning holes in Rujin's back. Their jealousy was palpable, a testament to the undeniable connection between Rujin and Hannah.
Suddenly, a deafening thud shook the ground, silencing the playground's chatter. A collective gasp rippled through the students. Hannah, ever the brave one, immediately sprang to her feet, concern etched on her face. "I'll go check it out," she said, her hand instinctively reaching for Rujin's before she darted towards the school gates. Rujin followed close behind, a knot of apprehension tightening in his stomach.
Emerging from the school gates, they found chaos. A colossal monster, Ging, clashed with a group of Rohmans, powerful beings clad in shimmering armor. The Rohmans fought valiantly, but Ging's raw power was overwhelming. The battle raged, a terrifying display of strength and fury.
Hannah, without hesitation, transformed. Her body shimmered, her clothes dissolving into a suit of radiant armor, her eyes blazing with an inner light. She joined the fight, her movements fluid and precise, a whirlwind of power and grace. But Ging was relentless. Hannah's attacks, though fierce, only seemed to enrage the beast. With a roar that shook the very foundations of the earth, Ging went berserk, its attacks becoming even more ferocious. The Rohmans were sent flying, their armor groaning under the impact.
Rujin watched, his heart pounding in his chest, fear battling with a surge of adrenaline. Suddenly, his backpack began to glow with an intense white light. The gadget he'd found earlier detached itself, its surface shimmering, and fused with his body. A wave of power surged through him, transforming him into a Rohman. He stood there, stunned, his new armor gleaming under the afternoon sun. He focused, pushing aside his shock, and charged towards the raging Ging.
Ging, sensing a new threat, lunged at Rujin, its claws slashing through the air. But Rujin, with newfound agility and strength, evaded the attack with surprising ease. He moved like a phantom, his movements precise and deadly. With a single, powerful slash, he cleaved Ging in two. The monster let out a deafening shriek before dissolving into dust, leaving only silence in its wake.
The other Rohmans, recovering from their injuries, stared in awe at Rujin, their eyes wide with disbelief. As the dust settled, Rujin's transformation faded, leaving him in his ordinary clothes. But something had changed. He felt different, stronger, more confident.
Then, a blinding flash of light engulfed Rujin, transporting him to an ancient, unknown temple. Lost and disoriented, he began to explore. Deep within the temple's labyrinthine corridors, he discovered a glowing red item, pulsing with an otherworldly energy. He picked it up, a strange power flowing into him. He continued his exploration, uncovering the temple's secrets.
Finally, as he reached the temple's summit, he saw a girl descending from the sky. She landed gracefully before him, her eyes filled with recognition.
She said, "Rujin, what an interesting name." The girl chuckled, her eyes sparkling with mischief. "Hello, Rujin. I'm Fia."
Rujin, taken aback, frowned slightly. "Uhh, I don't know you."
Fia's laughter echoed softly in the ancient ruins surrounding them. "Rujin, you wouldn't know me, of course. I am an Rohman Legend, an unknown hero. No one knows me except... you."
Confusion clouded Rujin's features. "Then why are you here?"
"I'm here because my master is here, right in front of me," Fia replied, her voice a melodic whisper.
Rujin's brow furrowed deeper. "Where?"
Fia's laughter rang out again, this time tinged with amusement. "You silly goose! You have the Saiven Armor gadget. It's a mythical armor, unknown to all but a select few."
Understanding dawned on Rujin's face, a slow realization spreading across his features. "So... wait, I'm your master?"
Fia nodded, a playful glint in her eyes. "Oh, and almost forgot! I need to train you. In this temple."
Rujin looked at the crumbling temple, its stones weathered by time and neglect. "But it's all ruined! Don't we have a better place to train? Somewhere with more space, less… rubble?"
Fia smiled, a knowing look in her eyes. "There's more inside than meets the eye, you know. Come on, I know just the place."
Following Fia, Rujin found himself in a vast, hidden training chamber. It was a marvel of engineering, a hidden sanctuary within the decaying temple. Massive pillars, intricately carved, supported a high, vaulted ceiling. The air hummed with an almost palpable energy. Rujin was stunned.
"Let's do a one-on-one first," Fia said, a smirk playing on her lips. "I'm just testing your armor."
Rujin retrieved the Saiven Armor gadget, its cool metal smooth against his skin. With a click and a hum, the armor enveloped him, transforming him into a warrior clad in shimmering, obsidian plates. Fia, too, underwent a transformation, her form shifting into something both graceful and deadly.
Her attack was a blur of motion, a whirlwind of speed and precision. Rujin, caught off guard by her incredible agility, barely managed to evade her initial strikes. He quickly composed himself, the adrenaline surging through his veins. He channeled his energy, unleashing his Zero Slash – a powerful, concentrated energy blast.
Fia, however, anticipated the move, sidestepping with ease. She retaliated with a swift slash of her claw-like weapon, the blow catching Rujin off guard. Despite his efforts to block, the impact sent a jolt of pain through his arm.
Fia pressed her advantage, appearing and disappearing like a phantom, her attacks relentless. Rujin, though injured, fought back with grit and determination, evading and blocking as best he could. In a desperate maneuver, he managed to create enough distance to launch a counterattack, catching Fia off guard. A small cut appeared on her cheek, a testament to his growing skill.
Fia paused, a hint of surprise in her eyes. "I'm out," she said, a genuine smile replacing her smirk. "Amazing, Rujin. You're learning fast." She sheathed her weapon, her eyes filled with admiration. "We'll continue tomorrow. There's much more to learn." The training session was over, but the journey had just begun. Rujin knew this was only the beginning of his transformation into a true Rohman Legend.
