Chapter 48: The system (4)

As soon as dinner was over they all ready had two files placed on the dining table for every one of them. Each contained the information they needed on both Alfred and the mysterious kid who dared beat the crap out of Kira. Seeing this didn't really make them feel as relieved as they thought, instead they felt a bit nervous and hesitated when it was time to pick it up.

For someone to receive preferential treatment over them meant he was way more valuable than they are. This was the sad truth they were aware of but they were unwilling to admit it, neither were they ready to accept it.

After an hour of silence and deep contemplation, they finally picked up the files and decided to take look. Apparently, the kid who attacked Kira was their age, barely up to fifteen, with a very poor background and a sad backstory. Shi Jia was a nobody, from a poverty-stricken family with zero talent or potential for both martial arts or superhuman abilities even at the age of thirteen, even so, he always got into fights with his neighbor and even wealthy folks. The kid's perfect blend of courage and stupidity was enough to steal the attention of the four heirs of the Oscuro group and they were very eager to know how such a weak and hopeless child became so strong in such a short while but what they saw left them confused.

Apparently, Shi Jia got into a fight with a kid his age with a wealthy background, an average talent for martial arts, and a special ability. Finally, the black sheep of the little Shi family was put down but his injuries were too severe and his family lacked the money to provide him with proper medical treatment. According to all the sources, Shi Jia died that very night but somehow resurrected exactly five minutes later with a new look in his eyes, filled with rage and determination.

From there, his talent for practically everything began to show and his strength began to rise as well. In less than six months he attained the status of a green belt martial arts practitioner, even though he was self-thought. Successfully creating his own martial arts and defending it against countless foes. A year later he reached the level of a purple belt martial arts master, successfully mastering the aura materialization, after which he single-handedly attacked the young master responsible for his death, ultimately killing him in battle.

Aura materialization is considered a breaking point for martial artists, where they surpass the levels of mere powerless humans and enter the realm of the superhumans. At this stage, a martial arts master is capable of releasing his aura, just like every other superhuman with special abilities. With this, they are capable of using this power to strengthen themselves and their attacks, reaching unthinkable levels of strength.

Unlike Kira and Indra Rahul who utilize their special abilities to amplify their martial arts and summon their aura, Jia relied on pure martial art to reach this level, which explained why he was able to toy with Kira as if he were a defenseless child, easily breaking his bones. Jia created the demon arts martial arts, using this power to overpower his foe and with his ruthless and inhumane strength, he has never lost a match since his rebirth.

after going through this kid's story, Zero and Akila began to doubt if they would have won that fight earlier today. Akila was only able to deal a fatal blow to Shi Jia through a surprise attack, even then the kid never showed any signs of fear in his eyes. Instead, all they saw was excitement.

"I think we just made a very powerful enemy… Someone as bad as the twin masters of the god sect" Zero blurted out abruptly, not caring if the others were reluctant to accept this.

After a series of victories, Shi Jia finally caught the attention of the nation and when they researched his past, they were also stunned like Zero and the rest. They didn't waste any time when recruiting the kid and this is the part that scared the shit out of Zero and the others.

After thirteen to fourteen years without showing any special attributes of affinity for any kind of power, Shi Jia began showcasing signs of awakening. The thought of a monster like this gaining special abilities as well as terrified Zero and the others greatly. For the first time in a long while they felt like their lives was been threatened.

This kid made it to the stage of aura materialization in just a year, without any help or guidance, attaining the purple belt, his growth speed just doesn't make any sense. If Zero could remember clearly, the strongest martial art masters in the Liberation union are all red belts, only a level above the purple belt, yet these people are regarded as old monsters capable of contending with S rated guardians.

With the backing of the government and the awakening of a special ability coupled together, Shi Jia will definitely become an S rated guardian and reach the red belt level, if not the peak which is the black belt. Having someone like that as an enemy gave Zero and the other three a headache since they can't touch him now he is still at his weakest.

They finally understood why this kid is recognized as a national asset. Compared to him, they are crap! They finally understood, why Alfred didn't bother to push the matter since the whole country is involved. They finally understood how the system works! They were once the ones everyone looked up to, the future S rated guardian of the country, set to replace their parents. Back then everyone treated them with respect and they enjoyed the privilege of having the backing of almost everyone in the country since they were the brightest stars if the nation. But now a kid who has the potential to reach the black belt level of the martial arts has resurfaced and the potential to become a disaster realm superhuman. The nation will be more than willing to execute all four of them just to please their new prodigy!
