33 Too Many Rivalries

The next morning was the day for everyone to return, but there were a few that didn't want to, in a really stuborn way.

They were the kids that had done the mountain climbing, for some reason they asked to stay longer, I didn't really care, since Niijima was right in some aspects, little Red did need a Rival, but which one of them would be that rival was yet to be decided.

I know it's stupid to stand on a pedestral and watch people as if you're god above their heads, but if you want to help people out you have to look at a situation from above, you have to calculate their steps and make sure that they don't mess up.

I let a few people stay as the rest were sent back to the school grounds, the metal platform I took with myself, as it served as a platform to put people on and move them around, it had no other meaning behind it, it was like a plate or a disc to move around stuff.

The brats that stayed behind at the island were 12, not including the toddler, there were only 5 families however since most of them belonged to Ryozanpaku and 3 of them were transfer students with no parents, while some parents had to return to work.

The island became a little emptier and other than the people that regularly stayed on my island the others were a bit disappointed with the lack of noise and excitement.

Of course the most disappointed were the kids that stayed behind, because someone decided that I wasn't qualified to train them and took over entirely, I didn't really care, since I wasn't exactly teacher material, but it was insane how their training from laid back and irritating turned into clear torture.

There were three instances that I had to intervene, so that the people wouldn't die, although Master Akisame ridiculed me on every ocasion, I don't really care, I find his methods too extreme, forcing people to train is wrong, even if you can acquire insane benefits in the end, you shouldn't force someone to train.

I thought so until I saw that maniac girl Jill, she was happy doing some insane excersice, but to me it seemed rather familiar and nostalgic, the girl was doing the same set of insane stretching I used to do long ago.

The little girl was rather eye catching, everyone else was crying from the pain and torture, but she was laughing as if she was the happiest person alive, while doing even more torturous excercises than the rest.

The summer vacations were almost over and everyone would have to return to school, most of the kids were happy to escape from this nightmare, but some wished they could stay longer.

Those someones were five brats, three were part of Yomi, while two were the Shirahama simblings, especialy that Jill girl, she simply didn't wish to stop training.

When the kids returned to school, was the time when real chaos begun. It wasn't Yami that instigated this to happen, but Ryozanpaku's people, the golden apple of this fight was little Jill. The most important problem however was that Little Red's love rivals seemed to have increased to two after little Jill was cured of her problem and showed everyone a fighting prowness that didn't lose to her brother's. For me however the most terrifying moment was when little Jill asked little Red if I was married.

After that day, I decided to return to my Island and stay there for a little, until the heat goes down. Little Red will probably hate me after this, but I did all that I could, I gave him a chance to fight for the girl, if he takes it or not is his choice, I even asked the Ryozanpaku people to allow him to train at their dojo with the other kids, now if he's an idiot and doesn't understand simple stuff, then I can do nothing about it.

The masters at Ryozanpaku seemed happy, because after these vacations their dojo had around 20 little disciples, running around and training, of course their trainings varried according to their willingness, most of them were just there for the hustle and to have a good time with their classmates.

Kenichi was also one of the teachers, teaching the little brats some basic moves, making an honest living.

The problem however was the brats he was training and the new Shinpaku Alliance, they were too arrogant, but with a reason to be so.

They had the two monster children as their members, Minato Shirahama and Kai Ma, they were the two monster kids that went up and down the mountain as if it was nothing, these two were rivals or at least Kai thought of Minato as such, Minato saw him more like a friend rather than a rival.

Now that three people from Yomi had appeared it was time for some action to start and the ones to act first were the Shinpaku alliance. Their first target being the short glasses kid called Kenichi Asamiya, whom the bullies in Shinpaku alliance thought as a weakling, since he didn't stick out too much, but they knew that he was part of Yomi and Yomi was their enemy, thus beating him up was justice.

Seeing the bullies trying to pick on one of his new friends, Akai couldn't stay back and watch, he begun to fight with the bullies. Since he was kicked out of the Shinpaku alliance he had no way of knowining that his new friends were all part of Yomi, the guys his mother had warned him not to get mixed with.

Akai didn't listen to reason as he got his ass handed to him, after all it wasn't as if you can become a master in a week or two, one has to do lots of training in order to reach his true potential, Akai was at most stronger than the average kid, but in general he was kind of average, his biggest however problem was that he knew no martial arts at all, he just knew some moves from here and there, which he didn't even execute correctly.

I know what you expect, the little Kenichi from Yomi, will kick the bullies asses and save the day, well, that didn't happen, he also was overwhelmed with numbers and shared the same fate. The new Shinpaku alliance weren't weak, they had many people and those that played the bullies weren't by any means weak.

Of course little Pierre and Liu were a bit special, they simply run away, from losing battles, while taking care of battles they could win, they knew their own limits and didn't go into great length for some sort of obstruct value as pride and fame.

This was the first time that little Akai gave me a call, he was afraid to go to Ryozanpaku, because the bullies were also part of the dojo and the Masters didn't exactly care about childish brawls, they even encouraged them, thinking that this would give the other students more drive to become stronger.

Of course the people with a weak will, will leave the dojo and those with the right mindset will stay and get stronger. There are no weak people, there are only those that want to get stronger and those that give up in the face of adversity and trouble, those cowards can't get stronger because they don't want to in the first place, without manual labor one can't have crops.

The phonecall the brat gave me was full of distress, the brat now wanted to become stronger from the depths of his heart, but didn't have access to the means to achieve it, now he was asking me for help. Of course he had first called his dad and mom, but both of them didn't seem to care much about his problems, being bussy with their own things.

Me on the other side, probably had too much time on my hands, I of course could help him get stronger or just destroy his enemies for him. It was however amusing how his ego had shrank due to his helplessness, well seeing your friends getting beaten up can do that to you.

I saw the four brats gathered at Little Red's house, they were waiting for me to take them for training, it was funny but for once little Red asked me to make his ascend up the mountain more difficult, by adding weights and traps, like Akisame had done, the kid was serious.

Days passed and the little brat only got more and more ruthened up by the bullies, the training might have some effect on him, but ultimately it was too slow and honestly he was the one holding the other three back, or maybe it was their own choice, I can't tell if the brats are sincere or not, but kids will be kids after all.

In the past week I saw them struggle together, help each other with martial arts training, mostly the other three helping little Red correct his punches and kicks, teaching him some martial arts.

Class in contrast to their training and struggled seemed boring, the kids came and left school together and now all four of them could escape from the bullies, but fighting back was only done when they had a chance of winning.

Another week passed and I was shocked because of Little Pierre and Liu, one of them achieved his mind eye, while the other wasn't too far behind, unlike little Akai and Kenichi whom were not as talented.

With this latest upgrade however, there was now no bully that could content with them, since Pierre by himself could take dozens of them on. I don't know if he was hidding his real strength before or if he just wanted to amaze me or little Red, but it was evident that he was a really talented martial artist, I'm sure that if he wanted to, he could easily just escape on his own. Little Liu was also a little monster, his speed and reflexes made him a really deadly fighter, but his explosive speed and strength were far supperior to little Pierre, his foundation was a lot deeper than the others, even if his talent was lesser.

As for Little Red and Kenichi, they were average at best, if I tortured them like Akisame did, maybe they could reach a mediocre level of martial arts like Shirahama Kenichi before them, whom still hasn't reach the super human level, even after all that training and suffering, he still cannot break through to the next level.

Looking at the bigger picture is rather difficult, because as the brats became stronger, their enemy also became stronger. Until now it was mostly little Black whom was causing them trouble, by sending bullies their way, but now that they beat up the bullies, they ignited the interest of another group of people.

They were Ken, Mao, Izanami and Shirayuki, they considered themselves as strong and hearing that someone was beating up their Shinpaku alliance's members, they decided to take action.

The matchup was rather strange as Ken whom knew kung fu went against Liu, Mao whom was the weakest of the group was practicaly destroyed by little Kenichi. The two girls Izanami whom was a boxer fought against Akai, their match was rather equal, but in the end she lost in a rather embarassing way as her clothes were ripped and she just had to go, of course little Akai knocked himself out with a rather serious nose bleed.

Little Shirayuki was fighting against Pierre, their battle was around equal, but the girl's bamboo blade broke in the middle of their fight and at that moment Pierre sneak attacked with a kiss on her cheek, it was super effective.

All 4 of the brats were sent back to Ryozanpaku crying, especialy Shirayuki, whom was too embarassed to even tell her mom(Shigure) how she lost, all she could do was draw circles on the ground while holding her cheek. Her white face turning bright red as if she had become a tomato every time someone asked.

Akisame and the other masters were rather happy with this defeat as if they had found a new toy or something, it had been too peaceful for a long time, but only now did they remember that they forgot someone on my island.

The elder was still meditating on top of my roof, as a coultivator I wouldn't bother him in his enlightment, but I was rather worried about him, his complexion had become paler and his buffed well formed body had lost some mass.

I hope his coultivation is going well, because I'm quite sure that at some point he must have been visited by that Admin guy and given some method to coultivate or something along those lines.

At least I hope it was so.
