Prologue - Part 4

Ranma or Touma, couldn't remember at all who is the man in his mid-twenties that suddenly appeared in his yard. When Touma saw the man, he could immediately feel a pressing force emanating from the man. The man was much more stronger than Happosai, Ke Lun, or even himself in the past as Saotome Ranma who had defeated Herb the Phoenix god. When Touma looked into the man's eyes, he felt like his body was being cut into thousands of pieces.

And Touma could only remember who the man in front of him was, right after he heard the name Hiko Seijuro, the most powerful character from his favorite manga in his past life: Rurouni Kenshin. Hiko Seijuro is the greatest swordsman in Japan on the Rurouni Kenshin manga, even the author of Rurouni Kenshin Nobuhiro Watsuki himself mentions that Hiko Seijuro is the strongest character in the Rurouni Kenshin manga.

Touma doesn't want to worry about why Hiko Seijuro came to his house, because the most important thing for him is that he can spar with someone very strong! Something he hadn't done in a long time.

Touma ran towards Hiko at a speed that was impossible for a seven year old to have. And he immediately threw a punch right at Hiko's face using his left hand. The fist was fast and extremely powerful, if a normal human were receive that punch, the human's bones would crack and his internal organs would receive severe injuries.

But Hiko Seijuro was not an ordinary human, he was someone who already destroyed the limiter in his body because of all the training he doing. To the point his power has reach a level that is impossible for normal humans to have. Touma's punch had absolutely no effect at all when it hit his face.

"Nice hit, kid," Hiko said who didn't look in pain at all in, while Touma's fist was still on his face. "You must have trained really hard for your punches to be that strong!"

Sweat immediately flowed from Touma's cheeks when he saw that his fist that aimed right at Hiko's face had no effect on Hiko at all. In fact Touma felt that he had just punched a very thick steel when the fist of his left hand touched Hiko's face.

"Ouuuch! What's your body made of! When I hit you body, it was like hitting a piece of iron or steel!"

Touma's hand immediately turned red because he hit Hiko's face, Touma knew that Hiko Seijuro was someone who was very, very strong.

But he didn't expect that the level of power possessed by him actually far exceeded his expectations. He had already hit Hiko with the strongest punch he could use with his current body. But unfortunately Touma's punch didn't have any effect on Hiko at all. Even his left hand became injured because of Hiko steel body.

"Come on kid, let's continue this sparring," Hiko said with a gentle smile because he was happy to know that his grandson was very talented in martial arts and had been very strong since childhood. "Or do you want to stop just because the pain you feel in your left hand hurts?"

"Heh, uncle! A small injury in my left hand won't be enough to stop me from beating you!" Shouted Touma who once again tried to attack Hiko, but this time he using his right hand which he hoped could penetrate Hiko's defenses which he assumed was the result of Hiko coating his body with ki or internal energy to strengthen his body. Necause Touma thought that the Imagine Breaker in his right hand could destroy the ki shield on Hiko's body.

Once again Touma's fist touched Hiko's body, but not in the face but in the chest. But just like before it was his hands that were in pain and Hiko's body didn't suffer any injuries at all.

"Your right hand punch is twice as strong as your left hand and I can even feel the ki in my body getting a little messed up. Your right hand seems to have something special if it disrupts the flow of ki in my body," Hiko said who felt a little stung after receiving a blow from Ranma's right hand."But unfortunately I've trained my body and internal organs so that my body and internal organs have extraordinary resilience, because all the training I do my skin and bones are harder than the hardest material on Earth and my internal organs have abnormal regeneration power, trying to hurting me or making me feel pain is very difficult."

Touma in his former life as Ranma had heard of a special martial art that could strengthen the body and internal organs. *Bakusai Tenketsu that Ke Lun taught to Ryoga was one such martial art, but training such a martial art to the level of skin becoming tougher than diamond was something that sounded crazy and impossible to Touma.

Touma and Hiko did sparring for about five minutes, which in the end had to be stopped because the injuries to both Touma's hands were getting worse, due to overexerting himself trying to break through the defense in Hiko's steel body. Rather than being called a sparring, what happened with Touma and Hiko could be called more like a boxer whose hand was injured from hitting something really hard.

And as long as Touma hit Hiko's body, Hiko didn't do anything to Touma. Because he didn't want to hurt his grandson. In addition, he wanted to spar with his grandson to see how strong and how good Touma was in martial arts. After Hiko saw Touma's attempt to break through the defenses in his body for five minutes, Hiko realized that Touma seemed to know very well the deadly points of the human body. Because all of Touma's punches were aimed at these points which unfortunately didn't work because of Hiko's very strong body.

"Your fighting skills and martial arts skills are very high for a child who is only seven years old," Hiko said as he wrapped Touma's hands using the bandage that Touma had brought from inside the house. "But unfortunately the difference in abilities between the two of us is like heaven and earth, so during this sparring I didn't have to move my body at all and both of your arms were injured instead."

"Uuugh, one day I will definitely beat you uncle! Just watch!"

Touma knew that it would take him a very long time to defeat Hiko or try to fight on a par with him. But Touma will not give up he will train hard so he can become stronger.

"Yeah, just try your best," Hiko said. "Because as you get stronger, I will also get stronger because I never stop training this body."

Hiko's words made Touma tear up, he knew from the manga and anime Rurouni Kenshin that Hiko Seijuro was quite an annoying and introverted person. But experiencing his own obnoxious nature in a real life. is really pissed him off.

"Uncle, what are you doing by suddenly appearing in front of my house and greeting me?" Asked Touma who wanted to know why Hiko suddenly appeared in front of his house.

"Hmm is it wrong if I come to my daughter house Shiina's, and greet my own grandson?" Hiko replied with a smile.
