The whole building is burning, and from the looks of the building it's a Dojo one. Yes, they were a Dojo member but they become a champion in a whole world, and it's because of 'Ren Hayashi'.

Ren Hayashi was a master of sword, he attain something that any ordinary human can't attain, its Sixth Sense. Ren Hayashi attained Sixth Sense when he was still a kid through self training under the blossom tree at their Backyard of their house.

—Flaskback—

Ren Hayashi, trained his mind by silently listened to the noises of his surroundings, where there's is bird humming, his father voice while on the phone and talking to someone, he can also hear the voice of her mother singing while cooking. And through that he attained Super Hearing.

And the next he trained was his Sight, same procedure as the first one, where he focus his eye sight into every small things. Because of doing that he also attained All Seeing Eyesight. Through attaining this two he combines it and it become Sixth Sense where he can see everything slowly or predicts someone's movement, and also his comprehension to everything becomes easy. And that's how he become 'The Youngest Prodigy'.

And after attaining that he tried to learn their family sword style 'Hayeshi Lotum Art', and learning their family sword style is just a peace of cake to him. So he decide to create his own sword style.

Ren keeps slashing the air with a pattern of Horizontal and Vertical, seeing him slashing the air, you can see the wind flow, like he was unleashing invisible energy. But that wasn't an energy it's just that his slash and stance was perfect. After he master two of the basic foundamental of his sword style.

He next trained was his footwork, seeing him doing his footwork will makes someone mesmerized, because the elegance and the smoothness of his footwork. And after he trained all of his sword style foundamental, he perform it.

His father 'Ken Hayeshi' who's a ex master of sword and also a champion in his young days, watching his son perform his own sword style made him open his mouth in silence.

"Wh-what did you just do?!!" Ken while holding his son shoulder. "What kind of sword syle was that?!" Ken still in disbelief of his own son sword style.

"I do not follow the path of the blade, Father. I carve silence into it, until even the wind forgets its name. What you see is not a style. It is what remains when all styles have faded into dust" Ren answer to his father question.

Ken smiled looking at his son, and thinking 'What monster did i just produce' and looking at his son, and saying "I'm very proud of you brat".

And that's he become a champion just using what he attained and mastery over sword.

–Back at the present–

Ren looking at his Teammates and Mentor dead bodies, questioned himself 'Is this the payment for something i attained that i shouldn't have' while looking at ceiling where he can see the midnight sky and blaimed the gods while cursing them.

'only,,, maybe only i agree to those guys maybe this thing will not happened, but this guys will be angry if i agree to those guys wants' Ren thoughts about what will happen if he ever really did what Shin Dojo wants.

—One day before the international—

Inside the office of Shin Dojo an old man sitting in a office chair alongside him was a guy that looks like in his 30's, and in front of them was Ren and in front of him was a paper and a pen that was in the table, it was a contract.

Ren analyzing his surroundings calculating everything, and then said "what is the meaning of this?" looking at them with his legs crossed, and then ren leaned back from his chair "don't you guys know doing this can make your team disqualified?" Ren said again telling them the consequence of what they're doing.

"of course i know that, and that will only happen if someone knows about this right? and i know that you wouldn't tell anyone about this meeting" the old man said while smiling.

"specially your teammates, because you know that they will think that you're a traitor if they will know about this, it's because you're the so called selfish and nonchalant guy of your team" the old man said in a tone of like it's mocking him.

"Hey old shin, if you think you can buy me off and ask me to do what you want in the international, then you're wasting your time"

Ren said while getting up to his seat "you better prepare your best disciple old man because i will crush your entire team" he said while trying to leave the room.

And suddenly the guard alongside old man shin, move and stop ren while holding his shoulder and said "the master didn't still give you a permission to leave" grippings ren shoulder.

Ren on the other hand turn around and look at the guard and said in cold voice"take off your hands on my shoulder, before i break those hand of yours" but the guard instead putting it away he tried to punch ren on his face, but ren blocked it with bare hands and then.

*Crackk...

the room was become silenced, because of the sounds of ren breaking the right hand of the guard, and the guard jump backward because his instinct tells him to secure his left hand from ren trying to grab his left hand, and then ren cleans the dirt that was on his gray longsleeve and after that, ren leaves the room without saying anything.

After ren leaves the room.

Old man said in commanding voice because of the humiliating that he experienced.

"After the international be prepared, we will kill his parents and the member of their dojo"

and the guard with a broken arm reply while having a face that still in a pain.

"Yes master" the guard bow while smiling.

—Back to present—

Ren trying hard to stand up because of the pain that he was experiencing.

'i need to get out of here' ren thoughts.

Ren was looking and thinking for a way to escape the burning Dojo. Ren grabs the hard steel that was on the side of the chair to help himself to stand up.

As he stand up, he slowly walks to the exit of the room.

The first thing that comes up to ren mind if he successfully leave this room and survive.

'i'll hunt you, old shin,,,'.

Ren's thoughts while trying to breath.
