Chapter 2: Grand Sensei

|Oro pov|

I started my day walking down the mountain on which I live while holding a cup of tea.

"Hopefully, today someone interesting comes." I haven't had a decent fight since the last time I saw Akuma. I heard he's going around the world testing fighters. Hmm, maybe I should do the same to look for a disciple; the ones that come to me themselves are all so boring."

As I walk down the mountain, I see a vast wave of martial artists all running towards me. As they prepare their fists, after seeing them, I try to come up with a fun, handy cap to give myself an advantage.

"Oh, I know; how about I beat them without touching them?"

I see the many martial artists' faces become filled with anger and begin to run at me faster. The first few seem to come at me and try a one-on-one; what fools!

The first man throws a fist at my face, but I choose to dodge his punch at the very last second and guide the wind pressure of his attack to my palm and amplify it. I then use an underside palm strike just below his fist, and the air pressure forces the martial artist to perform the most beautiful uppercut he would ever do in his life on himself.

I carry the air pressure of his uppercut and reverse the strike to become a piercing attack landing through every one that tried to make this fight even more boring by making it a bout of one vs. one.

Once the rest of the martial artists steel themselves to attack me together, I continually manipulate the body of the man that I made knock himself out and use his body to beat the rest of the fighters.

Once it's all over and done with, I go to each body and heal them with my senjutsu.

"Maybe I really should leave this mountain."

Then suddenly, I sensed a small gathering of senjutsu. I have never felt something like this before.

A joyful grin appears on my face.

"Did someone else learn to control senjutsu? If they did, I might finally have a good match again."

Now to find this practitioner.

|Dray pov|

I wake up in a small cradle next to a dead woman and a dead man, both with dark skin and black hair. The man seems to have green eyes, and the woman's eyes are a faded gold. I can see her eyes more clearly. I assume her eyes are faded because she's dead.

For some reason, my mind can't handle seeing this beautiful woman dead, and I cry as loud as I can, feeling an uncontrollable burst of emotion.

My guess is it's because I'm a baby, because I seem to be having a nightmarish time even remotely controlling my emotions.

As my cries grow louder, I hear leaves rustle, snatching my attention away from the woman.

A short man with green skin and full red eyes appears; he seems to only have a few strands of hair that are actively flowing in the wind.

I at first see a smile on his face as he walks towards me, but as he gets closer, I see him notice the body's. His expression morphs, and his face falls from a whimsy smile to a saddened frown.

He picks me up and looks at the name on my embroidered cradle.

"Dray Rider is your name, huh? Well, you seem to have a lot of potential."

The old man turns to the dead bodies of my parents and strikes the ground in front of my father, causing an opening in the ground that takes in my father's body.

The old man then goes and grabs my mother's body and gently sets her inside the opening in the ground with my father.

He then uses his senjutsu to make a boulder float over to him, and he sets it before the opening in the ground. Then, with his finger, he cut the boulder into a tombstone.

He carves in the tombstone, Mr. and Mrs. Rider. He sets it before the ground opening, which he swiftly fills with dirt.

After making a grave for my parents, he bows to their grave.

"I do not know your story, nor do I know how you died. But I will do what I can for your child. " Whether he decides to go down a path of strength or chooses to live a more quaint life, it will be up to him; either way, I will treat him like he is my own child."

After I'm picked up by the old man, I feel a drastic wave of senjutsu rush through my body, which calms me quickly while the old man walks back up his mountain with me.

Hello everyone! I hope you liked the chapter.

This is my first time writing a novel, so tell me if there's something that needs fixing or something you don't understand.
