1 Death of Takeda Shuuichi

Bang!

A 30-years-old man was slammed to the ground after being punched hard by a youth. The youth never betrayed any emotion. He was too calm as if the fight was not hard at all.

"Winner, Takeda Shuuichi, " said the referee who judged that the man could not fight anymore.

Takeda Shuuichi, or rather known by his nickname, Shuu bowed his head a little as a show of respect to his opponent. For him, whether he won or lost, his opponent still deserved his respect for fighting with all his might.

Shuu was 20 years old and was still studying in a university. However, he only going to university to complete his studies. He never joined any activity or clubs at his university. He only had one place that meant everything to him, his late father's dojo. Most of his time was spent in his father's dojo.

Takeda Dojo, that was his family inheritance for him. Since he was little, his father meant the world for him. His father was his idol, the strongest man he had always admired. Just like every boys' hero was his father, Shuu was the same in this aspect. When his father died in an accident 2 years ago, the sadness buried in Shuu's heart had never disappeared. He endured loneliness and sorrow for 2 years without his father. He only had his father as his mother had already passed away when she was giving birth to him. However, God forbid him to be with his father.

'Dad, I miss you so much, ' Shuu had never forgotten his father even for a moment. He thought of him who took care of him from he was born till he became a fine man.

Shuu, who has defeated the Japanese man, went back to his private training room. He was the head of the dojo and also one of the instructors in the dojo. At 20 years old, he already had the qualification to become one of the instructors in the dojo. This proved his talent in martial art was unbelievable.

In his private training room, Shuu picked up a set of katana and wakizashi. He closed his eyes. he mind went blank and only focused on the swords. After a moment, he moved his swords in a slow motion as if he was performing an art. Eventhough the sword art he was performing seemed slow, it was profoundly deep and in a professional point of view, his movement and stance were perfect and flawless. Shuu loved his swords very much. That set of swords was his father's gift for him when his father deemed him worthy to wield a sword. By practicing his sword art with his personal swords, it was as if he was training under his father guidance again. He longed for the day back then.

He could only focused on martial art and his sword art to endure his loneliness without his father. Without that, Shuu could be said that he had no more dream or intent to live in this world.

Training for a couple of hours was basically a routine for Shuu. He never complained or skipped his training. In a sense, it was a release of stress for him. He retired from training for the day and when to clean his body from sweat. Then, he went out from his dojo a.k.a. his house to go to the grocery to buy ingredients for dinner.

On the way back home, he saw an old man who was crossing the road. Suddenly, a truck was speeding at a neck-wrecking speed. He could see that the truck's driver had accidentally fallen asleep. There was not enough time for the old man.

"Watch out!" Shuu was unconsciously running towards the old man. He practically moved on his own without his brain could process any thought. With his trained body, he succeeded in pushing away the old man from being hit by the truck but luck was not on his side. He had not enough time to avoid the severe danger.

However, he was calm to the point it was scary for anyone to watch. Anyone would be afraid if death was in front of them but Shuu was different. Shuu had no more regret in this world. He had no more responsibility to shoulder as his parents had already passed away. He had practiced martial art until now as his passion. He was not sad to die at the moment.

BOOM!!!

His vision immediately went dark.
