15 Completed

Mom is a fucking monster, I get she is scary strong but here she seems to have become the goddam boogieman ala John Wick in this world. Did she ever used a pencil? I hope at least once there was a pencil involved.

I try to regain my bearings, while I appreciate sensei for telling me the truth, this may complicate things, I wanted the story to follow canon as closely as it could. I don´t give a shit about the story, but I needed it like that for some of my plans to work. This really may complicate things. And the issue is that I won´t really know until a couple of years, nearing some known event dates. As frustrating as this is, nothing I can do.

Almost a year after my meeting with sensei and my taekwondo style is complete.

"Azuma, come here." I´m training my taekwondo when I hear sensei talk to me, I turn my head, following the sound and I see him, standing in the entrance to the house, starting to sit in the back porch, patting with his hand where to sit.

I drop out of my stance and walk towards him, sitting where he was patting the floor.

"Yes? Sensei." I ask.

"I know you will leave soon, that monster of a style you created is complete, and I know you only came to Korea to master the basics, which you have done, the style is at expert class. Now you really need to go out there and become a master, I have high hopes for you kid." Damn, I knew I would leave soon, but hearing sensei say it, makes it real. I´ve grown to like the man, he was narcissistic, funny, and not serious at all once you get to now him. Like the silly uncle you like, but only because you see him at family dinners twice a year.

"But before you leave, I have to ask you, have you named that style of yours?" He curiously asks.

Ah, that question does brings a smile to my face. "Yes sensei, I have named it." I answer mysteriously. After a couple of seconds of not answering sensei slaps my head.

"Kid stop the mystery, and tell me the name, or is it...- "Or is what, I wonder. "That the name sucks." My eyebrow twitches a little, fucking old man I regret saying you´ve grown on me.

"No sensei the name does not suck." My voice dripping with as much annoyance as I can possibly put into it.

"It´s named…...

"Renewal Recoilless Taekwondo." I say with pride.

To my own surprise I was somewhat successful in recreating it. It was a nightmare to figure out, the original Renewal Taekwondo, in this world, would be at most grandmaster to an advance grandmaster lever art, not because its bad or anything, but mainly because we are in an entirely different fucking world.

I started thinking about Renewal once I realized in what world I was, however, I didn´t knew if there were any taekwondo grandmasters out there, as the series never showed one. Which is why the first thing I did after arriving at Korea was search for one, it was a shot in the dark, but one I was willing to take.

Renewal is based on IFF Taekwondo, which is simply normal taekwondo, but I wanted the recoilless variant of the style. That's where the problems started, from what I remember the recoilless style could be obtained once the user has mastered all of the basic Renewal techniques and is able to execute any move perfectly, so I needed to be able to do my katas in my sleep.

The hardest part came when the user focuses all their energy into a single point without wasting any movements. The only energy that remotely resembles what's shown in GOH, is ki specifically Dou ki, which is why I needed to master it to perfection, simple release of Dou ki is easy, but compressing and releasing it at a single point is hard, thus the stupid ass training I had to do with the rock and glass.

At the end I had as closely similar to the original Renewal Recoilless Taekwondo as I could make, absolutely nowhere near its original strength but the upside is that as I grow, it would grow with me, as the movements and theory behind it will always stay with me.

I actually forgot I was talking to sensei.

"Renewal Recoilless Taekwondo? A mouthful isn´t it." Sensei says, not at all excited.

I am going to snap, does he even know the monumental achievement I just had, I recreated an entire martial art, that I read about once, in a webtoon, in my previous life, without knowing jack shit about the original, in an entirely different world and in a fucking year. A mouthful he says, a fucking mouthful…... breath Azuma breath, smile just smile. I chant, like a mantra.

I just smile at him, a wide smile showing in my face, my eyes rapidly blinking.

"What would you call it sensei?"

"Don`t know. But it is a mouthful." My eye starts twitching.

"How about Recoilless Renewal?" I say to him.

He shows a surprised expression, "Huh, that one doesn´t sound bad."

"Great" I say through gritted teeth.

Breath Azuma, you´ll be leaving his unappreciative ass soon.

Needless to say, I left the next day.

And on cue, the bastards voice sounds. "Hey student!" I hear sensei´s voice behind me, I had already leaved his house, saying our goodbyes early in the morning. I do not answer him, I just keep walking. Once again, I hear, "Hey student! I can use Recoilless Renewal, right? I mean I could be considered his co-creator, no?"

That is, it, that is fucking it.

No, Azuma, no he would kill you, but soon enough, soon enough.

I just yell back "Yeah! Sure!" I keep walking, without turning back, I raise my arm and flip him the middle finger.

And then proceeded to run in case he saw it.

He did not.

._._._._._._._._._._._.

Stupidly enough, ten days after I left sensei´s house I reached master class, who would have thought. Seem that creating a martial art with the knowledge of your other martial arts, kind of means you´ve mastered them. Interesting.

To celebrate I went to some of the dojos I had previously challenged. I mean, destroying them with Recoilless Renewal, after having destroyed them previously, while trash talking taekwondo, ahhh, there are no words to describe their faces, priceless.

On the other hand, mom was over the moon, practically demanding that I return to Japan to see her.

On the other other hand, considering my age, I seem to need to reach grandmaster class in three years.

I hate my fucking life, my next world better be a goddam, slice of life or I´m gonna have a stocke.

_______________

A/N: When someone commented if Azuma could recreate Renewal Taekwondo, I almost lost my shit, how on earth would I answer them, if I say yes, spoilers, if I say no, I lie.

Anyway, I hope it´s not too cliché, I tried to make the appearance of Renewal Taekwondo in the world of Kenichi as believable as possible, as well as how could it be created using the tools in said world.

I hope it makes sense.

As always.

Comment your thoughts on my explanation or anything else for the matter.

Thanks.

Ciao.
