“You are my greatest masterpiece."
Shintaro said as he spoke.
“You’re now Hayashi Ryan, my greatest son. Not the lowly surname Anderson.”
[Few Hours Later]
Ring! Ring!
“Ryan! The North started to attack; we need you! Charles needs help!”
Ryan received a call from Frank. Frank told him the location; Ryan hung up. He started to walk towards the location.
[Few Minutes Later]
Ryan entered the building that was being attacked; there were several North’s students. They charged at Ryan.
“You used Invincible Thrash!
Exclusive Card!
Title: Invincible Thrash
Description: Upgraded card of Ghost Hits. More damage if the user is faster than the opponent. Invincible Thrash becomes faster on the number of opponents.

The dozens of students go down in an instant; Ryan headed upstairs. The North’s students had bats and weapons; they charged at Ryan.
“You used Invincible Thrash!”
Blood sprayed everywhere as Ryan put his left hand inside his pocket. He heads to the final floor, where Charles is slumped on the wall, bleeding.
“Ah, you’re here. You’re very different from the information I received.

Sean smirked and rushed at Ryan. Sean’s eyes widened as his view was upside down. Ryan slammed his fist on Sean’s face.
Crack!
The floor formed a crater as blood splattered on Ryan’s face. Ryan sauntered over Charles’s unconscious body. He slung him on his shoulder and started to walk. He texted Frank.
“I’ll be at the old abandoned building. Gather the crew.”
Ryan put his phone away as he took his departure.
[Few Minutes Later]
Ryan enters the building; he heads to a room. He opened the room; the rest of the crew was already there. Their eyes widen.
“R-Ryan?!”
Frank’s mouth agape; Ryan nodded and plopped Charles on the floor.
“What the hell happened in two weeks? And why do you have that hairstyle? Are you trying to copy me?”
Johan asked; Ryan stood there quietly.

Ryan replied as he sat down.
Beep!
“New Quest!

Description: More you take. The better the card.

Ryan looked at the quest. His expression remains stoic. Frank rose and walked towards the front of the room.
“The boss is back. Now that we protected the 2nd wave, it’s our turn to attack. We will chip away at their territories. This is the final battle!”
[Next Day]
Kenneth and Charles grouped up. Johan, Myles, and Ryan went their separate ways.
[Few Days Later]

Ryan looked at his reward.
"Reveal.

Ryan's lips curl into a smile.
[Next Day]
Ryan is in the meeting room.
"Ryan, there's one more territory that's fitting for us to take. It belongs to one of the executives. If you defeat him, we can gain a lot of leverage. Also, their morale will sink."
Frank said as he pushed up his glasses.
"From what I heard. He's insanely powerful—powerful like Christian. That's the end of this meeting."
[Few Hours Later]
Beep!
"New Quest!
Quest: Defeat Elijah Walker (0/1).
Reward: Sapphire Card"
Ryan arrives at the location; it's an abandoned warehouse. He enters and sees dozens of students. They all turn their heads to see Ryan there; Ryan's eyes remain stoic as they rush at him. Ryan's lips curl into a grin. One of them swung a metal bat at Ryan; Ryan grabbed it and bent the metal. The student's eyes widen as Ryan punches the student, knocking him out cold. The other students slowly take steps backward. Ryan starts knocking out the students one by one. Only one was left.
"Well, well, well, it's you. Ryan? You walk into my territory and try to defeat me? You're a little shit, aren't you?"
Ryan laughed at his remarks.
"Me? I'm the little shit? Look at you, you orange-haired bastard."
Ryan cracked his neck and knuckles.
"I See You, you little shit!

No. 3 (North High)
Ryan rushed at Elijah. Elijah smirks.
"You used Invincible Thrash!"
Elijah's eyes widen as the punches connect with his body, bits of blood splatter. Ryan threw a straight punch; Elijah grabbed his fist.
"So what? You think you're going to win by hitting me a couple of times?"
Elijah punches Ryan's gut; he lets go of Ryan's hand. He punches Ryan's face. Blood starts spraying everywhere as he continues pummeling Ryan. He kicked him to a nearby wall. Ryan's eyes closed shut for a few moments. His eyes widen as he sees Elijah's fist smashing his face.
Crack!
Ryan's face creates a crater on the wall; Elijah grabbed his collar and smashed him on the ground, causing another crater. Ryan's mouth spewed blood and spit. Elijah stomped Ryan's stomach. He then grabbed his collar and raised it. He lets go and throws a straight punch. Ryan's body flung across the warehouse. His body rolls on the floor. Ryan slowly rose. He laughed as he ripped his shirt off.
"You hit hard!

Exclusive Card!

Ryan's hand transforms into a knifehand. He strikes Elijah's head while he is upside down in the air. Blood sprays onto his hand and face. The floor has a huge crater, and Elijah's head sinks deeper into the floor. Ryan grabs Elijah's collar and throws him up in the air.
"You used Invincible Thrash!"
Ryan rotates his body around and does a back kick, sending Elijah flying. Elijah coughed blood; he slowly rose. Elijah rushed towards Ryan. Ryan grabbed his arm and flipped him over, smashing his body on the floor. The floor breaks apart from the impact as Elijah's eyes roll back.
"You used Hayashi-style Aikido!"
Ryan turned around and took his departure.
"Elijah used Surge!
