Hongo Pov

After we came back to village. Marcus had declared he wanted to learn Ninjutsu. Lisana also wanted to learn Medical ninjutsu. Saito thought this would be the perfect time to see if Other world people can learn it. So, he agreed.  I sent a team to escort David Julius and George out of the forest. David said he was going to report us to their King and that Saito should have meeting with him. Saito agreed. Saito plans. to travel to Esreld in the future. Marcus is staring down Usui.

Marcus: You are my rival Usui Mutsu. In battle and in love I will not lose.

Usui: Good luck with that

Usui likes to go at his own pace he barely even acknowledges Marcus existence. Marcus yelling at him and Usui being so calm and not giving a danm about it is hilarious. Shirgure does not know how to react to Usui. Ever since he kissed her she can't look him in the eye. She tried avoiding him, but she misses his cooking and surrendered. Usui just acts like nothing has happen at all. He is just acting normal. Well Usui is older and has experience. Shirgure has no experience about romance. Yamamoto told me Usui stole her first kiss. It is fun watching them.  I have feeling when Usui truly start chasing after her she won't be able to resist him. Good luck Shirgure. Usui is sly fox. Yamamoto has also been spending a lot of time with Aoi. He gets hurt almost every day and Aoi heals him.  I think she only puts up with him because she is a dog lover. She loves playing with Chiba. I also think she likes another dog. Stupid Yamamoto can’t see what right in front of him. Good Luck Aoi.

Now I am on my day off. It has been a long time. I am going on my regular run through the forest. A fortune teller in the village stopped me and said I will have a fortunate encounter if I go east. In my run I usually go west. I start heading west but the words of the fortune teller are bothering me so I will run East just this once.

Narrator Pov The Kingdom of Vestia. (East side of the Badlands)

Guard: COME BACK HERE!

Several guards are chasing a 16-year-old girl. She has snow white skin and pink eyes. Her silver hair is exotic especially in the country of Vestia. She is wearing a blue Victorian style dress. She has a noble air around her. So, you can tell she is from a wealthy family. This girls name is Beatrice von Claude.  Raised by her grandfather a Count in the Vestia Kingdom. Her parents had died at a very young age leaving her grandfather to raise her. One day a son of a Duke asked Count Von Claude to marry Beatrice. The Count had heard that the Duke son Henry Blackthorn was a cruel person. He did not want that life for his one and only granddaughter so he refused the Marriage. Two days later the Count past away in an accident, A bandit attack gone wrong, but everyone knew who did it.

Beatrice did not even have time to grieve when soldiers disguise as bandits from the Dukes manor came and tried to capture her. Loyal servants fought the solders giving Beatrice time to escape. The servants were defeated and her home was burned to the ground. Her family and home gone instant. As the tears falling from her eyes all she could do was run and keep running. To take revenge she must escape. She must become strong.  She has a friend in Esreld named Lisana Taejon and Elf. She worked for the fourth prince Marcus. If she can get Esreld she might be safe at least for the moment, but to get there she will have to go through the Badlands. Only a foolish or desperate people would go through there. Beatrice Just happens to be desperate so she charges in without regards for life.

Soldier: SHE IS HEADING INTO THE BADLANDS

Soldier 2: Should we follow her

Solider 3: Young master Blackthorne will have our heads if we don't get that girl.

Soldier 2: Why does the young master want this girl so bad. He already has Lady Katalia as a wife.

Captain: Lady Beatrice is 3 times more beautiful than Lady Katalia.  Lady Katalia beauty is starting to fade. After giving birth to their child. We don't question we just follow orders

Beatrice Pov

Why did my hat have to fall off on that day? This all started because my hat fell off in front of that bastard and he saw my hair. My mother was a foreigner and had long silver hair. I inherited my hair from her. It always made me have a lot of attention. That is why I usually where a hat or a hood. I don't like the attention. It was a windy day and my hat blew off. It was caught by Henry Blackthorne. As soon as I looked in his eyes I knew he was trouble. I thanked him and wanted to leave as soon as possible. In the next couple of days he had tracked me down and wanted me to be his second wife. Grandpa refused and I was happy. But than a couple of days later Grandpa carriage was attacked by bandits and he lost his life. Henry came soon after. I just know he had something to do with it. People came to my house the night of my grandfather funeral. My Butler Lance knows a little bit of Martial Arts and can do wind magic.  I am unlucky. I can't use battle Aura or Mana. I want to help but I am powerless. So I run. I run through the forest.

Beatrice: I can believe these people are still coming after me.

Soldier: I can see her. STOP!

Beatrice: Who would stop just because you told them to.

As I am Running I trip on a fallen branch and I roll down a hill. As I am rolling something stops my descent. it feels like a foot. I look up and see a Boy with dark black hair and weird eyes. He is also wearing clothing I have never seen before. He reaches out his hand and help me up. ahhh. It seems I sprain my ankle from the fall.

Hongo:  Fortunate encounter?

Beatrice: What?

Hongo: It is nothing (Yay for going east) So what is someone like you doing in this forest by yourself. It dangerous.

Beatrice: The same could be said to you. You’re not wearing any armor and I don’t feel any Mana or Aura from you. So, what are you doing out here.

Hongo: Just going out for a jog, and Just because I don't have any mana or aura that does not make weak. I am pretty strong you know.

Soldier: THERE SHE IS!

I look over and see the several guards that were chasing me. They surround the boy with the weird eyes and me.

Captain: Beatrice Von Claude come with us now if you know what is good for you. We would not want to hurt this innocent bystander now would we.

Beatrice: This person has nothing to do with me. I just met him. Thank you for catching my fall you can go now.

Hongo: I don't feel like it

Beatrice: What?

Hongo: Why would I run from weaklings.

Captain: What did you just say boy? Weak? Did just call My men weak.

Hongo: You too

The Captain: It really true what they say a new born lamb doesn't fear a Tiger.

Hongo: You must be blind because you fail to see Mt. Tai right in front of you.

Beatrice: What Kind expression was that I have never heard of it before.

Hongo: It's from Wuxia

Beatrice: I have never heard of that country

Hongo: .........

Captain: Kid I don't know who you are or where you came from but get in my way be prepared to die.

Hongo: I will send the same courtesy to you.

Beatrice: Why are you doing this we don't even know each other.

Hongo: It is a man's romance to play hero and look cool in front of a pretty girl is what my friend Yamamoto told me. I am starting to get the appeal.

Beatrice: YOU IDIOT YOU ARE GOING TO DIE! YOU HAVE NO MANA OR MAGIC! NORMAL PEOPLE WHO DON'T HAVE MANA OR AURA WILL ALWAYS BE STEPPED ON BY PEOPLE THAT DO!

Hongo: Wow you really have a pessimistic view of the world. Maybe I should help you change your way of thinking. Watch closely now. Anyone can be strong. All that matters 99% effort 1% luck. Today your luck is really good

Beatrice: Why?

Hongo: Because you met me.

Captain: Enough of this brat cast fire spells

They begin to shoot fire balls at the boy.

Hongo: EIGHT TRIGRAMS HEAVENLY PALM SPIN!

He begins to spin at in incredible speed and all the fireballs are reflected and Blackthorne men Scatter. What did he do just then?

Captain: I see you are more than meets the eye. I am Captain of The Guard James Warner of The Blackthorne residence. Everyone else Stand back he is not someone you can handle. State your name boy so I can write it on your tombstone  

Hongo: My name is Hongo Hyuga a Shinobi of the Village Hidden in the Forest.

Beatrice: Shinobi?

Hongo: Beatrice I going to show you. You can be strong without Aura or Mana.

James draws his sword. It is a magic sword given to him by the Duke.

James; Draw your weapon

Hongo: My whole body is a weapon, BYAKUGUAN!

James: What is with your eyes it like they can see through my very soul

Hongo: The real fight starts now.

That was my first encounter with Hongo my life has never been the same since.
