[Flashback Continues]

It's been 115 years since the war.

Remember how I said that peace only lasted 100 years after the war? Yeah, after 100 years, small conflicts started to appear. These 100 years were used by different nations in the world to establish their power, now that other nations had similar power, they started to feel threatened by them. What if another war starts? Who will start it this time? Sincerely, Klein has never seen such bullshit before... People, fearing war, started small conflicts.

Then a war started, but not officially, it was more of a cold war if you will.

The different nations had some smaller conflicts here and there, but there wasn't a full-blown war... This stupidity continued for another 100 years, like how can mortals be so good at war and killing, and so patient when the objective is war, but if it involves everything else they won't be patient at all and will simply do whatever? Klein, as the immortal he was, could not understand the long-term strategy of such an approach, in the future, the future generations won't necessarily want or need to continue this foolish war.

Anyway, Klein had taught several students he gathered and were sent to him by his previous students. He only taught them how to fight and kill, if they want to kill it's up to them, however, there were two rules they had to follow and obey:

Rule 1: Do not attack your fellow Fallen Angels, if there is a dispute between two or more Fallen Angels, it must be resolved by talking, and if talking isn't enough, then this discussion must be brought to Elysium Archipelago.

Rule 2: Whenever you are called to a reunion, you must come. Leave everything behind and come, cross time and space but come. You will have the location of the reunion engraved on your mind, use any means necessary to arrive. If not possible arriving, help must be asked.

These two rules were put by Klein because he had too many students most of them only became his students after surviving his trial, some even became Elite Students, till this day no one got the Master tier, and finding it too unfair to his students, Klein decided to rearrange his 'student tier', and here's the result:

Tier 1: Student (Complete 1 Year Learning from Klein)

Tier 2: Senior Student (Complete 5 Years Learning from Klein)

Tier 3: Elite Student (Complete 10 years or Survival Trial)

Tier 4: Superior Elite (Complete 20 years or Combat Trial)

Tier 5: Master (Complete 50 years or Full Combat Trial)

He had to do this to create some sort of ranking, so he knows and differentiates between his students, for he has a lot of them. From Tier 3 and above, they have permission to take students for themselves, and if they think their students have enough potential, they can try and get Klein to teach them. After all, even if they were taught everything by Klein, they don't know everything he can teach and his teachings are always superior by several tiers. His students needed some sort of hierarchy because he can't simply talk to every single student, as time went on he also couldn't personally teach every student he had, so he started to make some of his Tier 4 Students become teachers that would teach too, soon the Elysium Archipelago became a place for study.

Hundreds of people were studying here, different martial arts, and so the 'Elysium School of Martial Arts' was born.

One of the most renowned and respected martial arts schools to ever exist. Everyone could learn, but not everyone could learn advanced stuff. As time went on, Klein's fighting style was broken into several different styles that were taught by different teachers, and just like the "7 Ways to Heaven" in China, it became a certain type of shared martial art. But here was the special thing about it, as Klein's fighting style was broken into 10 different fighting styles that were taught to future generations, all those 10 martial arts completed each other in a way or another, and when you mastered all 10 of them, you could learn from Klein a unique skill.

Klein would teach other students that mastered at least 2 different martial arts to a master level, which was somewhat difficult to do. Here's the list of different martial arts that can be learned, they are even categorized by 5 different styles:

[Destructive]

[Supportive]

[Defensive]

[Concentrated]

[Flexible]

These 5 different types have their 2 correspondings martial art.

[Destructive] Martial Arts are those that focus on attack and destructive capabilities of the body.

[Supportive] Martial Arts are techniques that can be used to support yourself and others in battle, giving you advantages that you can take. Like making an opening in the enemy defense or even an opportunity for escape.

[Defensive] Martial Arts are techniques that focus on defending and being indestructible, the two styles of [Defensive] Martial Arts are completely different.

[Concentrated] Martial Arts are techniques that focus on a one-hit K.O attack or an attack that carries all of your strength. The two techniques for this martial art are destructive, one externally and the other internally.

And at last but not least, [Flexible] Martial Arts. The techniques for this martial art are, as the name says, flexible and fast. You can turn your enemy against themselves, turn their attack against themselves, or even take the attack and redirect it to the source.

These Martial Arts were based on Klein's fighting style, and Klein was sincerely surprised his students could come up with Martial Arts that imitate different parts of his wild fighting style! He, now with more time, just continued to focus on his [Meta Powers: Meta Space Manipulation], [Meta Powers: Meta Time Manipulation], [All Mighty Powers: Cosmic Energy Manipulation], and [All Mighty Powers: Void Energy Manipulation] for now, until he considers good enough.
