Johan smirked at Scott. He rushed towards him; he jumped in the air, swinging his leg. Scott blocked, but Johan rotated his other leg.

“Johan used I Am Above You!”

Johan’s smirk falters as he sees no visible damage. Johan’s head snapped to the left as Scott did a right hook.

“Wow, you are pitiful.”

Scott snickered as he continued punching Johan. Johan took the defensive measure and started to guard his body. Scott punched his liver and went for a straight punch. Blood spurted from Johan’s nose; he stumbled backward. Scott went for an uppercut; Johan’s neck whipped upwards as more blood sprayed.

“You only know Taekwondo. You can’t win.”

Scott snickered. Johan clenched his fists. He’s right; he can’t win. Scott is better than him in any shape and form.

“Johan used I Am Above You!”

Scott’s body was sent flying across the ground, crashing into a nearby wall. Spit dripped from Scott’s mouth as he slowly stood up as his shoulders slumped.

“What the…hell?”

Johan rushed towards Scott. Scott guarded his body; Johan kicked his calf, causing Scott’s guard to lower. Johan rotated his body to perform a spinning roundhouse kick. Blood splattered everywhere as the kick connected; Scott’s cheeks bounced from the impact.

Thud!

Bits of blood marked the floor as Scott fell. Johan turned around; his eyes widened as he saw a punch. He guards his body. Johan coughed blood as his body was sent backward.

“Two spins?!”

Scott exclaimed as Johan’s heel connected with Scott’s face. Scott’s body spun in the air. Blood sprayed in the air as Scott finally fell to the floor. His eyes rolled backward.

“Johan used I Am Above You!”

Johan turned around and took his departure.

Myles rushed at Hudson; he threw a straight punch. Hudson grabbed his arm and flipped him over. Myles's view was upside down as his eyes widened. Hudson slammed his fist at Myles’s face, who was still in the air. Myles’s head caused a crater in the asphalt ground. Blood splattered everywhere as Myles rolled back. Hudson took out his handkerchief and cleaned his bloodied fist.

“I feel pity.”

Hudson said as he threw the handkerchief on Myles’s face. Hudson took out his phone and walked away.

Beep!

“Myles Sterling’s potential is running amok.”

Hudson heard some noises behind. He turns his head; his eyes widen as he sees Myles standing once more. He put away his phone and walked towards Myles. Hudson threw a straight punch. Myles grabbed his fist.

Hudson fell on his ass as blood gushed out of his nose. Hudson clenched his nose as he rose. His eyes widen as Myles’s punch connects with his liver.

“Who do you want to defeat? Why do you keep standing?”

Myles stood there quietly before answering.

“Christian.”

Hudson's eyes widen as he sees Myles rushing at him. Hudson closed his eyes and smiled.

“Myles used Doppelgänger! Myles used Doppelgänger! Myles used Doppelgänger...”

Myles grabbed Hudson’s face and smashed it onto the ground, causing a crater. He then took out a cigarette and started smoking as he walked out of the warehouse.

[Next Day]

Ryan is at a meeting. Frank stands in front of the room as he pushes his glasses up.

“Great work on defending the first wave! However, we could barely fend off them. Of course, Ryan, Myles, and Johan defended while Charles stayed here to protect the school. However, the future is uncertain if we can defend the West’s territories. We need to chip away from their territories. That concludes our meeting.”

Frank slung his backpack on his shoulder and left.

[Few Hours Later]

Ryan is at his house. He’s trying to find the remote, so he looks everywhere. He stumbles upon an old picture. His eyes widened; it was his family. Ryan looked at the picture, and his expression softened. He analyzes the picture and realizes that there’s one more person. However, their head was cut off, so he couldn’t see who it was.

Click!

He heard the door opening, revealing his mom coming from work. His mom’s eyes widen as she sees the photo that Ryan is holding.

“Mom? What’s this? Who’s this person?”

His mom's expression changes.

“That man. That man is your father.”

Ryan’s mouth agape as he looked at the cutout head. He couldn’t see the face but only the body. His mom started going to her room for a few moments before coming back.

“Ryan. Take this. I didn’t want to do this but took it. Your. Your bastard of a father told me to give you this for your 18th birthday. I know it passed a month ago.”

Ryan grabs the envelope. He heads inside his room. He opens it and reads it. Each word makes his eyes widen. After finishing reading it. He crumbles the paper and tosses it on the side. Ryan’s mom enters the room.

“Christmas break is approaching in a few weeks. You can go and meet him.”

His mom says, her expression not changing. Ryan nods.

“I would love to meet that bastard.”
