Chapter 7: Unexpected everything.

Steady as Tetsu goes. He made his way back to his home. At last, he has come to a realization after spending almost a week in Academy City. He was alone, had no friends, had no social skills, no connection to this country, the only thing he had going for him was his fighting skills, his past and...that's when another realization hit him, he may not have any connection to Japan but he doesn't have connection to the Chinese government through his father.

Then again, Chinese and Japanese hate each other's guts, so contacting the Chinese Government for assistance in Japan won't do him any good. Sighing, he had no choice but to turn to the one person he ran away from.

He took out a flip phone and clicked on the only contact number he had. He pressed on the call button and waited for the person to answer. Once they answered, Tetsu didn't waste time asking for what he wanted and a high pitched scream almost deafened him.

"Of course!" A powerful feminine voice rang out from the other side of the phone. "I shall make my way there immediately!" She responds quickly and ends the call.

Sighing heavily once again, he closed his flip phone and approached the door to his home. However, once his fingertips lightly grazed the doorknob, the atmosphere instantly felt heavy. His breathing became irregular and his muscles tensed.

Tetsu knows if he makes one wrong move he will definitely die. Then the door opens fully but slowly, revealing an old man in a flawless butler uniform. He was everything about being the perfect butler but despite his calm demeanor, his presence alone was giving Tetsu the idea that he wanted to behead him.

After what felt like hours standing in the hallway, the butler bows gracefully. "You must be my lady's soon-to-be groom. I am Liu, the Head Butler to the Fang Family back in China and the lady's most trusted butler, at your service"

After a few seconds of silence, Tetsu was finally able to muster a hello to the butler. But once he did, the butler sent out a lightning fast jab towards Tetsu who couldn't do anything but watch as the attack came. He felt the feeling of death trying to claw at him, his eyes and mind having already given up trying to dodge the attack, his body however, moved through instinct.

When the fist was a few inches from his face, he used his thumb strength to flick the hand guard of his katana. It shot right out of the sabbath and in a split second, Butler's eyes flashes in surprise, but he still proceeds with his attack.

Tetsu's eyes were covered by his bangs. Faster than the butler's speeding fist, he grabs hold of the katana by the handle and stops it with his katana's hand guard by using the upwards acceleration and pulling away the fist in a wide arc, making it look like he just simply pulled out the katana in a upward quickdraw.

If there was a name for such a technique, it would be called. "Quickdraw Spike!" Because the technique wasn't just a defensive skill. It had an offensive follow up as well. Once the first step of the technique is completed, the second step is the hardest. To strike in any form he is in and in any way he wishes.

So to say, he is technically standing up straight, and in that moment, time stopped for Tetsu. But it only occurred for a split second before he changed his posture and disappeared from the butler's line of sight; instead, the blade was where Tetsu was a moment ago.

But despite being in a combination of shock, impressed and respect, the butler still remains calm. He closed his eyes and gave Tetsu a surprise of his own, a surprise that he didn't see coming.

The butler simply lifted his leg up, hitting the handle with his knee with grace. This managed to surprise Tetsu in more ways than one, there isn't a person alive who was able to dodge or even get away without a scratch.

"Wait, how I pulled off a technique I don't even know!?" was his last thought before the butler knocked him out.

Tetsu falls to the ground, unconscious. The butler scoffs and closes the door, leaving Tetsu where he was and making his way out. But a voice stops him.

"Really? This is like the fourth time I had to save this idiot's growing butt!" The voice said in a chippy tone. The butler turned around and saw Tetsu on his feet and narrowed his eyes. Still in his calm demeanor and readied his fighting stance. His expression is hard and focused.

Tetsu gave him a lazy stare. No more in his happy and smiling expression, it's like he just made a complete change in attitude, even his demeanor changed to a cooler and more mature person than he was a moment ago.

All that wasn't enough to put Liu on guard. It was the aura that Tetsu was giving that put him on guard. "Who are you?" he asked, but Tetsu closed one eye and yawned. He taps the ground with his feet and his katana unsheathed itself from the sabbath and into his hand.

He did one last stretch before finally giving an answer. "I'm just a guardian making sure that this retard of a warrior becomes a King"

He disappears and appears in Liu's blind spot. But thanks to his experience in combat, he dodged and countered with a straight and powerful jab to the chest. "Not bad" he said and blocked the attack with his sword. "For an old man, you got more strength to drop an elephant dead" and Liu replies smoothly.

"Your fighting style changed. What's wrong, child? Can't keep up with an old man?"

He sends a powerful kick towards his head. Guardian had to shift his weight to his left side to dodge the kick, but the mere force coming from it turned the surrounding area to rubble. True to that, the kick left a cut on his right cheek.

Liu didn't stop there, he changed the trajectory of his kick and turned it into an axe kick. Guardian had no choice but to take the hit. The attack sends him five stories down from his apartment.

Liu fixes his gloves. "Oh dear. I was told to go easy on you. Shame you didn't live up to my expectation"

"Oh really?!"

The guardian jumps from the ground and appears from the side, bleeding from his head and with his katana in both hands. He did a vertical slash with his katana and a powerful force split the five story building in half.

"Damn you're a agile one"

His attack didn't seem to have an effect since Liu just turned and the attack missed by a millimeter. His hand behind his back and giving guardian a cold stare. "And you're not taking this seriously" He jumps from the edge and lands a kick on the Guardian's stomach and they land on the ground, using Tetsu as the cushion. "And luckily I made sure no one was in the building or else there would be casualties''

Tetsu backflips from him. He smiles and puts his sword back into his sabbath. "You want me to take you seriously?" He gave a dry laugh. "Sadly I can't. This isn't my body after all. However" He leans forward and a firm stance, unwavering concentration, and a desire above all else to finish the fight with one swift attack

Liu knew that this time, he was serious. Guardian then continues "I can still pull off an attack that you'll forever remember"

Both went silent, unmoving but anticipating each other's next attack and how to counter them. The wind blows and picks up dust and when it stops, silence returns and both knew it was time to attack. Liu charges at Guardian with his fist. Guardian smiles with confidence.

The air around Guardian began to glow and it got absorbed into the Kazeshini.

"Winds of the World: Quick Draw Space Breaker!"

And just like that, Tetsu pulled off an unbelievable form of a quickdraw. In that one fluent stroke, multiple flashes of blue slashes appear around Liu. Surprised by such a sudden phenomenon, he wasn't able to escape the attack, in the process, losing both his arms and legs.

Tetsu places his katana on his shoulder. He released a breath that he didn't realize he was holding. "Man, this body can handle one quickstrike huh?" he said with a sigh. "No matter, guess when we have to push up on schedule."

Liu was still alive, but he didn't bleed, instead, his arms and legs were made of metal and wires. With a mighty laugh. He gave Liu a farewell.

"See you later, old monster. At least now I know that the kid is in good hands"

But before the guardian disappears, Liu wanted one more thing.

"So what's your name?"

The guardian gave him a strange look then smiled.

"I have many titles back in my life time. But you can call me Xiang Yu"

The butler's eyes widen. The name Xiang Yu was a name of legends in China, and it is a name unique only to him. A warrior of the past and a child. A legend who has made a name for himself for being rebelling against the Qin Dynasty and became a prominent warlord. Yes, his name was Xiang Yu, a man of overwhelming charisma.

"Xiang Yu? No way! You can't be him!"

"Believe me or not, it doesn't matter to me. My main priority, is teaching this kid. Then again"

He gave Liu a look but giving a mischievous smile.

"You will be very useful"

Once the night had ended and the next morning arrived, Liu the Butler was no where to be found and Madam Fang was worried. She had put on her best dress and sunglasses for her husband. She wore a black silk dress with a long skirt that went down to her knees.

She pulled out a phone and saw the signal pointing her to her target. She made her way to Tetsu's apartment. As she did, people watched her with lust, envy, admiration and love. However, Madam Fang pay them no attention as her mind stayed focus on one thing, making her way to Tetsu's home.

But it wasn't easy. Few men walked up to her and tried to start a conversation with but she didn't acknowledge them and walked pass them. The men of course didn't take the gesture lightly and tried their chance with her again.

She finally stopped. Thinking that they got a chance on their second try, they began the conversation first.

"Hey there pretty lady, wanna go out for a drink?"

Madam Fang pulled down her sunglasses and gave the teenager a raised eyebrow.

"A drink? With you? Please, surely you jest. A virgin like you wouldn't be able to hold his liquor. Move it boy"

She went pass him and puts on her sunglasses. The boy stood still in shock and his friends laughs at him as they also tried their chance hoping to get her to join them. However, they will soon realize why she is called the Heartless Queen of Earth.

Getting to Tetsu's home took longer than expected. She had to thoroughly and mercilessly break their spirit to never ever think about talking to her again.

Once she arrived, he gave a raised eyebrow at the destruction in front of her. The ground was caved in and the building to Tetsu's home had giant holes on the veranda from their fight. She just tapped her heels and the ground pushed her up to the building. She went to the first door that had the name Tetsu and the pillar of earth was back into the earth.

She knocked on the door and inside revealed her Butler Liu teaching Tetsu battle tactics. His arms and legs were repaired and he had a whiteboard to make explanation easier for Tetsu.

Liu saw her and he immediately bow in respect.

"Forgive me Madam! I wasn't aware that you were at the door."

"Oh hi, Fang"

Liu glares at Tetsu and he quickly gets up and goes to the door to properly greets her.

"Ahem! It's finally nice to meet you. My name is Tetsu, I hope I won't cause you trouble"

He gave a very timid greeting. His face was a bit red and had to look away most of the time. In which, he indirectly defeated Madam Fang.

"Liu what did you do to him?"

"I only taught him the ethics of being a gentleman, but it seems he is still far from being one. Not to worry, I shall personally be Sir Tetsu's guardian for the time being" he said with confidence and assurance.

And Madam Fang who had a shocked expression quickly said "You're getting a raise"

"Thank you, my lady"

"Now call the officials!" She said with enthusiasm and excitement "I'm making sure that I'm getting married today!"

"Of course, my lady"

But Tetsu said "No, I don't get married"

Madam Fang places her hand on his should and gave a loving smile but her words were as deadly as a sea snakes venom "You better change your decision or else I'm going to drown you in the deepest darkest ditch on earth and make sure that your only friends are the vermins!"

He just stared at her and....wait did he just blushed? "Uh, sure. I would love to marry you"

What the fuck just happened?
