The student of Cheng Hu

Katashi can be seen outside an abandoned warehouse alongside Cheng hu.

"The place looks shabby, doesn't it?" Cheng hu decided to break the ice by making small talk,

"Is this where I'll train?"

"Of course not, don't sell yourself short kid, we'll enter a secret location within this facility"

Cheng hu opened a secret door that led to a long flight of stairs and descended it. It was old and creaky and looked unsafe so Katashi hesitated for a moment before walking down himself.

"Now I tell yah, this place doesn't look too shabby, isn't it? Oh, I forgot to tell you, you'll be training alongside other kids, hope you don't mind~"

the room had a couple of computers along with a mountain of paperwork and a maroon couch on the sides, in the corner of the room however were giant boxes where a bunch of kids were lying around.

"Meet your new 'friends', play nice now" Cheng hu gestured to multiple kids between the ages of 10-12

'Are these guys really going to be my colleagues?' Katashi questioned himself.

"Master, who is this brat?" a kid 1 year older than Katashi questioned.

he has short black hair that spikes in all directions, he's sporting a white T-shirt with lighting designs and short jeans along with sneakers.

"Oh, his name is Yano Katashi, he'll be your junior starting today"

"Hmmm" the kid analyzes Katashi and began to walk around him inspecting his build and his posture.

"Hey guys, the kid's got experience" the kid told shouted to his friends.

The other kids began to laugh and murmur

"Ohhh? Is he strong then?" said one of the kids "Careful now, Kazuma, you don't want to scare him" "Kahahaha" the kids began to laugh in groups.

"Enough."

One of the kids said outloud before walking forward

"If you want to be a student of Master Hu, then you're gonna have to beat me"

"Naoya? There he goes again..."

"Silence! I shall personally test this brat"

Katashi looked at Naoya in an intimidating fashion, trying to assert his dominance

"Get ready, Kid, I'm about to show you how blessed you are that master even choose you as his student"

"You talk to much, Bastard"

Naoya entered a normal fighting stance while Katashi assumed a karate stance.

while this whole complication was going on, Cheng hu was observing from the back with a sinister smirk on his face
