Chapter 001

The Beginning

A bedroom door opens as Kingsman walks in with his son Kenji and Kenji walks over and gets into his bed as Kingsman says

"Go to sleep, tomorrow you’ll have some teammates to train with" Kenji is *confused* as he says

"What!? I don't need a team, we can beat everyone together” Kingsman says

“Eventually I'm not going to be here to protect everyone, so that's why you need other people you can depend on and trust. All right?” Kenji says

“Ok dad” Kingsman turns around as he steps out into the hallway and he looks back at Kenji as he says

“All right then, get a lot of sleep because our real training starts tomorrow” Kenji says

“I'll be ready, father I promise I'll make you proud!” Kingsman reaches in and turns the light out as he says

“Good!” Kingsman closes the door as Kenji lays down and thinks

"I wonder who my new teammates are going to be? It really is going to be fun to have a bigger family" Kenji eyes suddenly open as he's standing in front of two opposing men obscured by darkness and Kenji rushes towards one of the men as he tries to punch him but the man leans out of the way of the punch as his punch goes through Kenji's stomach and Kenji falls to the ground as he *spits up blood* and Kenji tries to speak but he *spits up blood* as a pool of blood surrounds him and the two men slowly approach Kenji as one of them says

“He's finished, there's no need to take this any further” The man crouches down next to Kenji as Kenji slowly looks up at the man but he can't see the man's face as The Man says

“After all of that, what a shame! I offered you a different path, but yet you chose to take this path again!" He puts his hand up creating a ball of light that flashes in Kenji's face and Kenji wakes up in a cold sweat as he sits up and grabs his chest as he starts *breathing heavily*

At the same time His mother Akita is downstairs making breakfast as there is a knock at the front door and she walks over and opens the door and she sees a boy standing there and The Boy *smiles* as he says

"Hello ma'am, I am Itsuki Tatsumichi" Akita says

“Hi I am Akita, you're one of Kingsman’s new students. Right?” Itsuki says

“Yes ma’am” Akita *smiles* as she says

“Well you may come in and take a seat” Itsuki walks in as Akita closes the door behind him and Itsuki walks into the kitchen and sits at the table as Akita walks back over to the stove and continues cooking as she says

“I can make you something to eat if–” Akita is interrupted by a knock on the door and she says

“Please excuse me” She walks to the door and opens it as another boy is there and he *smiles* as he says

“Well hello beautiful, my name is Dai Mikenaka”Akita *chuckles* as she says

“Another one of Kingsman’s students, come in and have a seat please” Dai walks in and sits down next to Itsuki as he turns to Itsuki and says

“Who are you?” Itsuki puts his hand out as he says

“Itsuki Tatsumichi, and you?” Dai shakes his hand as he says

“Dai Mikenaka, Kingsman’s strongest student!” Itsuki is *shocked* as he says

“Strongest student!? What makes you think your Sensei’s number one student?” Dai says

“I'm obviously the best, do you really think you can beat me?" Itsuki says

"If I wanted too I could beat you with one hand” As Itsuki and Dai are staring at each other there's another knock at the door and Akita answers it as she sees a third boy and he says

“Hello my name is Riku, is this Kingsman’s home? I'm his student” Akita *smiles* as she says

“Yes and your other teammates are already here, please come inside” Riku says

“Thank you” Riku walks into the kitchen and sees Itsuki and Dai still staring at each other as he grabs a chair and pulls it away from them and he looks at the ground as Dai looks over at Riku and says

“Hey, who are you?” Riku looks up at Dai and says

“Riku” Riku looks back at the ground as Dai says

“Why are you just staring at the ground? Scared to look greatness in the eye huh?” Itsuki says

"You're really arrogant, knowing people like you I can guarantee you're the worst fighter here" Dai is *shocked* and says

"Worst fighter!? I will beat all of you and Kingsman at the exact same time" Itsuki *laughs* as he says

"Wow, you're really dumber than you look!" Dai gets *angry* as he says

“Who the hell are you talking too!?” Itsuki presses his forehead to Dai's as he says

“I'm talking to you!” Dai opens his mouth to speak but Riku says

“Where is Sensei?” Itsuki sits down as he says

“Yeah, where is he?” Riku says

“Isn't there supposed to be four of us?” Akita says

“Oh yes your right, I believe the both of them are still sleeping" Akita walks over to the stairs as she says

“Kenji wake up, your new friends are here” Kenji is snapped out of his daze as he thinks

"It was just a dream!" Kenji slowly gets out of his bed as he walks out of his room and down stairs but at the bottom of the steps Kenji suddenly drops to one knee as his vision blurs and he hears a screeching sound in his ears while he *clutches his head in pain* and as the noise starts going quiet he's able to feel a hand on his shoulder as he hears Akita's voice as she's in front of him saying

“Are you ok?” Kenji is *disoriented* as he says

“I’m fine, everything just felt surreal for a second” Kenji slowly gets back to his feet as Akita says

"Are you sure you're ok?" Kenji says

"Yeah, I'm good" Akita says

"Ok" Akita walks back over to the stove as Kenji walks over Itsuki and Dai as he reaches his hand out to Itsuki and says

“Hi my name is Kenji!” Itsuki shakes his hand and *smiles* as he says

“My name is Itsuki, nice to meet you” Dai stands up as he looks at Kenji and says

“So your Kingsman’s son, so that means you should be decently strong huh?” Kenji is *nervous* as he says

“Yeah...I guess so” Dai says

“It's sad you have to be second best then” Itsuki says

“And who’s number one? Not you!” Dai says

“You wanna test that!?” Itsuki stands up as there both in each others face and Kenji *nervously laughs* as he walks over to Riku and puts his hand out but Riku ignores his hand as he says

“Where's Sensei?” Kenji says

“Oh right!” Kenji turns around and looks at his mother as he says

“Mom, where's dad?” Suddenly someone pokes him in his back and he turns around as he sees his little sister Hana holding her teddy bear up and she says

“Daddy's still sleeping” Kenji is *shocked* as he turns to Akita and says

“Mom, can you wake up dad? So we can start training” Akita says

“I'm sorry sweetie I have to finish making breakfast, you know your father's very hungry in the morning!” Kenji is *nervous* as he says

“Mom please, I'll finish the food! Please, I can't wake him up again” Dai leans over to Itsuki and whispers

“What the hell is he so afraid of?” Itsuki whispers

“Don't know” Akita says

“I promise you'll be fine, If anything happens I'll come upstairs. Ok?” Kenji is *nervous* as he says

“Ok!” Dai stands up as he says

“Since you are scared, we can help you wake him up” Kenji looks back at Dai as he says

“Are you sure?” Itsuki says

Support the creativity of authors by visiting Royal Road for this novel and more.

“It'll be faster than waiting for you to do it, so why not” Riku says

“Sure!” Kenji walks up the stairs as everyone follows behind him and as there walking down the hallway Dai notices eight doors and he thinks

"Wow, I guess Kingsman's rich!" Kenji stops in front of a door and he slowly opens the door and there able to see Kingsman sleeping in his bed and Kenji turns around as he whispers

“Listen, we have to be careful and we have to be quiet. We can sneak up and get his cover off of him” Dai says

“That'll take too long, the point is to wake him. So let's do that!” Dai walks into the room and runs over next to Kingsman's bed as he screams

“KINGSMAN WAK-" Suddenly a hand grabs Dai by his face as Kingsman's *drowsily* sits up and Kenji is *shocked* as he says

“Damn it, we have to save him! Let’s go!” Everyone rushes into the room towards Kingsman as Dai let's out a muffled scream as he says

“Let go of–” Kingsman *drowsily* says

“Quiet!” Kingsman throws him back towards Itsuki and Itsuki jumps over him letting him hit the wall behind them as Kenji says

“Get the cover!” Itsuki jumps into the air trying to go for Kingsman's arms and Kenji runs directly at him to get the cover and Riku jumps on Kingsman's legs too hold them down but as Riku lands on Kingsman's legs, Kingsman kicks him up sending him into the air and Kingsman sits up as he grabs him by the arm and slams Riku into Itsuki while he's still in the air and sending them both into the same wall as Dai and Kenji gets within inches of the cover but Kingsman grabs his wrist and open palm pushes him in his chest launching him into the wall as he slams into Dai and Kenji *holds his chest in pain* as he whispers

“Oww!” Itsuki *holds his ribs in pain* as he whispers

“Damn!” Riku whispers

“Ugh!” Dai whispers

“Get the hell off of me!” As he pushes Kenji off of him and Kenji puts his back on the wall and whispers

“We still can win this” Riku whispers

“How!? He just beat all of us in his sleep, he's too strong for us to take on” Itsuki whispers

“His senses are too sharp, and he knew exactly where all of us were even when I was in the air. He even caught you when you didn't make a sound” Dai whispers

“He was even able to stop me! There’s no way we can beat him” Kenji whispers

“His senses are sharp, but they are also hyper sensitive right now and we can throw them off” Riku whispers

“By throwing things in the room at him and rushing him at the same time” Kenji whispers

“Exactly” Dai whispers

“How are we gonna do that?” Riku whispers

“Clothes, we can throw multiple pieces of clothes in the air at once” Itsuki whispers

“Good plan!” All of them stand up as Kenji whispers

“Listen we have to be extremely careful with the noise now, Itsuki grab the clothes and Dai–” Dai whispers

“I’ll take the lead on this one” Dai walks forward but as he takes a steps there a creek in the floor echoes throughout the room and everyone looks down in *shock* and they look up as they see Kingsman is standing up and Dai notices the cover is wrapped around his back as he can't really see his face only his partially open right amber eye and Kingsman walks over to all of them and stops in front of Dai and Dai tries to grab the cover but Kingsman kicks him directly in the chest launching him back as he slams into the wall and everyone's *shocked* and Itsuki thinks

"I could barely see him move as he got closer!" Kenji looks at Itsuki as he's on the opposite side of Kingsman and they share a nod of approval as they both start throwing punches towards Kingsman and Kingsman blocks all of there punches with the palm of his hands as Riku sneaks behind him and he climbs up onto Kingsman's bed and he jumps off of the bed launching him towards Kingsman's back but as he gets close Kingsman suddenly ducks as Riku rolls off of his back and lands on Itsuki but Itsuki's able to maintain his balance as he catches Riku and Itsuki tries to step back but Kingsman kicks Riku in his back launching them both back as they slam into the wall and Kingsman continues blocking all of Kenji's punches with the palm of his hand until he catches Kenji's fist and he uppercuts Kenji pushing him into the air as he kicks Kenji into the chest sending him slamming into everyone else as there laided against the wall and Kenji *holds his chest in pain* as he says

"I think we can still-" Kenji is *shocked* as he notices all of them are knocked out and Kenji puts his back against the wall as his eyes start blurring and he notices Kingsman walking towards him and Kingsman stops in front of him as he kneels down and reaches for his face but suddenly Kingsman's bedroom door opens and Kingsman throws a punch but stops it inches from Akita's face and Akita *smiles* as she pulls the cover off of Kingsman's back and Kingsman slowly opens his eyes as he *yawns* and says

“You're very close to me, and I'm nervous. But good morning”Akita *smiles* as she says

“Morning, I made breakfast!” Kingsman *smiles* as he says

“Thanks, I'm starving” Kingsman kisses her and Akita *blushes* as Kingsman walks past her but Akita says

“Wait Kingsman!?” Kingsman turns around as he says

“What?” Akita says

“Your students are very excited to start training” Kingsman looks back into the room as he sees all of them knocked out on the floor and he says

“Obviously not, they're sleeping so let’s eat. We have time” Kingsman continues walking but suddenly he stops and turns around as he walks back into his room and closes the door as he pulls out a kunai and throws it at the top of the corner in his room but it disappears right before it hits the wall and Kingsman says

“I see you!” Kingsman turns around as he walks back out of the room and Akita says

“What is it?” Kingsman says

“Just a bug, nothing I couldn’t handle” Akita says

“Ok, but Kingsman can you please train them when they're up?” Kingsman says

“Fine, we’ll start training the first thing when they wake up” Akita hugs Kingsman as she says

“Thank you! I'm sorry for holding you up” Kingsman *chuckles* as he pulls her arms off of him and says

“It's fine, what did you make anyways?” Akita *smiles* as she says

“Your favorite!” Kingsman says

“Where's the Little One?” Akita says

“Hana is already downstairs” Kingsman is *shocked* and screams

“WHAT!?”Akita is *shocked* as Kingsman starts running downstairs while screaming

“LITTLE ONE, DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH MY PANCAKES!” Akita *giggles* as she walks into there bedroom and Kingsman gets downstairs but he sees a table full of food and his daughter isn't there and he steps forward as he says

"Where is-" Suddenly Hana jumps on his neck while covering his eyes and Kingsman starts spinning in a circle as he says

“I can't see, i’m being attacked...HELP!” Hana tries to make her voice deeper as she says

“Give me all your pancakes!'' Kingsman screams

“AKITA!” Akita's walking downstairs as she says

“Yes?” Kingsman says

“There's an intruder, I'm going to deal with them!” As Akita makes it downstairs and sees Kingsman spinning in a circle with Hana on his neck and Kingsman reaches back and grabs Hana’s shirt as he says

“I got them!” Hana says

“Wait daddy it's—” But she's interrupted by Kingsman swinging her around but as she's being spun around, she says

“D-D-Daddy i-i-its Ha-na!” Kingsman throws her in the air and catches her by one leg as he looks her in her eyes while sees upside down and Kingsman in a *fake surprised tone* says

“Oh my, Little One it was you!” Hana *smiles* as she says

“Yes” Kingsman says

“Welp, since you started the fight I must finish it” Kingsman puts his hand up and is about to flick her on the head and Hana starts wiggling trying to escape as she says

“No daddy, please don't!” Kingsman says

“You know the rules, I have too” Hana *cries* as she says

“Mommy help!” Akita steps up to Kingsman and says

“Kingsman!” Kingsman turns and looks right into her eyes as he says

“Your going to help her?” Akita is *nervous* as she says

“Y-Yes” Kingsman *smiles* and says

“Ok” Kingsman grabs her by her shirt and puts her on his shoulder as she says

“Wait Kingsman, please don't!” Kingsman walks over to the back door and he tosses Hana in the air as he opens the backdoor and catches her again and he walks outside as Hana says

“Daddy please stop!” Kingsman *laughs* and says

“You started it, and now I'm forced to finish it” Kingsman throws them both extremely high in the air and Hana is *scared* as she screams

"BROTHER!" Akita is *scared* as she screams

"KINGSMAN!" As they get low to the ground Kingsman catches them both but he throws them both back into the air and they continue screaming as they get low to the ground this time Kingsman doesn't move as he *smiles* and thinks

“Took you long enough!” Suddenly Kenji catches Hana as Kingsman catches Akita and Akita clings to Kingsman's chest as she says

“Please don't do that again Kingsman, it scares me!” Kingsman kisses her and says

“Why? You know I'll always be here just call me, I promise I won't drop you" Riku, Dai, Itsuki come out of the house as Kingsman says

“Looks like it's time to train, take the Little One in the house” Akita says

“Ok” Kingsman puts her down as Akita says

“Hana, come on!” Kenji puts Hana down on the ground and Hana hugs Kenji as she says

“Thanks, big brother!” Hana runs over to Akita as they go in the house and Kingsman sits on the ground as he says

“This is all your official meeting day, besides names and faces you all don't know anything about each other. But what's more of a bonding situation than a life or death situation, so for your first training lesson I have something very special planned. Retrieve this kunai and bring it back here” Kingsman pulls out a kunai and throws it into the cherry blossom forest behind his house and Dai gets *angry* as he says

“I came here to get stronger not to do fetch quests and wake you up!” Itsuki says

“There's a reason why Sensei has us doing this” Dai says

“The hell if there is I’m not stupid!” Itsuki says

“Sensei wouldn't–” But he stops talking as Kingsman stands up and says

“I see, since this is our first training day together!” Kingsman starts slowly walking towards Dai as he says

“One thing I do not joke about is training, you have your teammates lives in your hands and your life in your hands, and now my family's life is in your hands” Kingsman stops right in front of Dai and looks directly in his eye as he says

“And if you think I'll let you put my family's life in danger, you're foolish!” Dai gets *scared* as he says

“N-N-No I didn't...I mean...I wouldn't!” Dai looks down at the ground as he says

“I'm sorry, Sensei!” Kingsman keeps staring at Dai until he turns around and walks back to his original spot and sits back down as he says

“All right, now you all have one minute to retrieve that kunai. If you go over that time every 20 seconds I'm going to cut who ever I catch” Kenji is *confused* and says

“Father, you don’t have a sword. How are you going to cut us?” Kingsman says

“Oh yeah” Kingsman covers his hand in darkness as he puts both of his closed fist next to each other and pulls his darkness apart using his darkness to create a blade, and he creates a short black blade and everyone is *shocked* and Itsuki says

“How did you do that!?” Riku says

“Why not make a full katana Sensei?” Kingsman says

“I don't need a full katana” Dai says

“How did you do that?” Kingsman says

“Your next training session I'll show all of you how to acquire and use your elements, the one who comes back with the kunai I'll start training first” Kingsman looks at all of them *confused* as he says

"Why are all of you still standing here, GO!”
