From above, a hexagram-line-shaped island could be seen floating on the sea. It was surrounded by beaches. It was very beautiful to see.

A twin was enjoying this beautiful scenery while sitting inside the airplane. While looking at the scenery, they were taking turns signing a contract. It stated that if something terrible happened out there and they died or were injured, no one could be held liable.

“Alright, it’s done. Best wishes for your adventure.”

The instructor closed the contract book, said something that sounded like their company motto, and then left the twin.

After the instructor left, the twins continued to look at the scenery. Time flew by when they were enjoying it. There were only a few minutes left until they arrived at the drop zone. Realizing this, the instructor opened the airplane door. People started to line up when the door was opened. The twins were lining up last.

Different from the twins who looked calm and composed, the people who were in the front appeared frightened. They were clearly still new to this. Realizing this, to alleviate their fear, the instructors started to talk.

“It will be fine, Miss. As evidence, there has never been any news of casualties from our company. And we will be with you. We are professional instructors. So Miss can just relax and enjoy the adventure.“

While the instructors kept on alleviating their fear, a few minutes had passed. Realizing only a little time was left, the other instructor watched his wristwatch and said,

“Alright, in just ten more seconds, we will arrive.”

Hearing this, everyone went silent. Their hearts were beating fast. It was so fast that even the loud sound of the gushing wind failed to erase its sound. Some of their hearts were beating fast because they were scared. And for some of them—the two boys—their hearts were beating fast because they were excited and couldn’t wait to jump down.

Ten seconds felt very long to them. Until...

“Three, two, one, let’s go!”

One by one, the skydivers jumped down. In no time, all the skydivers were already flying in the sky. They started to hold hands with each other and form a circle.

They were enjoying their time and smiling at each other. However, they realized that something was amiss. Two people were missing. Searching up above, they found two people holding hands with each other.

To their surprise, the two skydivers started to lock each other up. Their hands were locking each other’s feet. It resembled the fight of a professional wrestler.

Some skydivers who already knew the twins looked calm and tried to enjoy the show. But some skydivers who don’t know the twins, patted their instructor's body. They wanted to tell their instructor about the dangerous situation that was happening in front of them. However, when they turned their heads and looked at their instructor, they could see the thumb and index finger of their instructor were connected; it’s an okay hand sign. The instructor also smiled, implying that there were no issues and everything was fine.

Still astounded and perplexed, the skydivers returned their gaze to the boys. The boys had stopped locking each other up. They bowed their heads to each other. The skydivers who were feeling nervous because of the fight, looked relieved that the boys had stopped fighting and began apologizing to each other.

However, they suddenly started to kick and punch each other again. They fought seriously this time.

This made the skydivers realize that their bow before was not for apologizing, but rather the bow made by martial artists before they fought.

Watching them fight, the skydivers who don't know about Ian and Ryan, respectively, referred to them as Boy A and Boy B. They wanted to at least name the people they saw fighting.

Boy A, using the gravitational force, flew diagonally and gave a flying kick to Boy B.

To evade it, Boy B spun his body to the side. Making use of his inertia force, Boy B attacked Boy A with his elbow.

Boy A blocked it with his hands and pushed Boy B away. Boy A then delivered a spinning kick to Boy B's head.

Trying to avoid Boy A’s attack, Boy B pulled his head back. He then found himself facing Boy A's back. Boy A's back was wide open after he made his spinning attack. Taking advantage of this, Boy B moved closer and tried to punch Boy A’s back.

However, it was a feint. With Boy B at his back, Boy A spun his body to the front. This puts Boy A's head at the bottom and his feet at the top. Boy A's feet were right below Boy B's jaw. As it is, he kicked Boy B in the jaw. Surprised, Boy B couldn’t react to this and got hit by Boy A. In this round, Boy A received one point.

The point that must be received was five. It was a rule that the twins created. Whoever scored the first five clean hits on their opponent, would win the battle. From their experience, five times was the maximum hit count that they could achieve before they arrived at a safe height and had to open their parachute. It would be dangerous if they fought while the parachute was still open. So, the fight must be ended, and the rule was set at five hits.

After a few minutes, they reached the height at which they needed to deploy their parachute. With a three-to-five score, Boy A won the battle. The twins bowed their heads once more and started to open their parachute. The other skydivers, who were still stunned by the fight, began to regain consciousness when they saw the twins open their parachutes. They then began to open their parachutes too.

After that, they all enjoyed the wind and scenery as they flew slowly towards the ground. In no time, they arrived at the bottom. They landed on a beach. The beach was beautiful, with a lively and pleasant atmosphere. Many people were playing and enjoying their time.

While the twins were tidying up their parachutes, they could hear the other skydivers discussing them.

“Hey, aren't they still in high school? Doing something like that while skydiving and even getting permission from the instructor. They are amazing. Who are they?”

Some skydivers who didn’t know about the twins asked the other skydivers.

"The one on the left is Ian, and the other is Ryan. They are the twin superstars of the martial arts world."

"Ooh, so it’s them. I've already heard about them. But I'm not familiar with their appearance. They say that the twin's abnormal strength is because of their love for another world adventure. What does that mean?”

“Ooh, it's just that their obsession with the fantasy world is very high. In their interview, Ryan said that in another world, there will be a fight when they are flying. So, they went skydiving and tried to experience it for real. What I want to say is that they are doing things to the extreme with their obsession. To imitate a fight from their beloved fantasy world, they say that they need to train hard. After saying this, they train for a week nonstop. They just take a break when their body needs it. Normal martial artists don’t train as much as them. This is the reason why they can win a lot of tournaments. Of course, it’s not just because of their hard work. Their talent is extraordinary too."

“Putting aside their weird obsession, they sure are amazing. Maybe I will ask for an autograph.”

The twins' faces turned bright red. They had finished tidying up their equipment. Being shy, they started to walk. They were trying to avoid the crowds. Their destination was the main street. They wanted to take a taxi and go home.

A few moments later, they arrived at the main street.

“Hey Ryan, I'll take a break from all of this activity for a while. I have other things to do."

"Hmm? It's fine. But it's weird; you enjoy all of these things. Even today, you look excited."

"I have a new hobby. And I just love the skydiving itself; I don’t feel anything special from the fight anymore.”

“New hobby?”

It all began when the twins watched an anime about an adventure in another world. Just one episode, and all of the twins' attention was drawn to martial arts.

However, a few months ago, Ian tried a new anime after being recommended by his friends. It was about living a slow life in another world. It wasn’t like anything he had done before; there was not much action or danger either. It was simply about enjoying life and having fun. He was very fond of it.

Because of this, Ian had lost interest in martial arts. He didn't want to go on dangerous adventures anymore. He just wanted to slowly enjoy his life. Even if he went on an adventure, the purpose would be only to discover things that were beautiful and interesting.

“Yes, it's..."

Ryan saw a little girl almost hit by a car. Ryan ran as soon as he saw it. Ian, too, instinctively followed Ryan and ran.

When they got close to the little girl, they noticed the car was already nearby. Ryan immediately pushed the little girl. However, he fell to the ground. He didn't have time to run. Ian, who was behind Ryan, immediately pushed him without hesitation. The little girl and Ryan were safe. But...

BANG!

Ian was hit by the car.
