The air crackled with tension as Rin lunged at Jinin, her fist glowing with raw energy. Jinin smirked, effortlessly dodging and countering with a swift strike. His movements were fluid, honed by years of mastering ten martial arts—karate, taekwondo, jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai, and more.
But Rin wasn't backing down.
She feinted left, then slammed a **gravitational punch** into Jinin's chest. The force sent him staggering backward, momentarily losing his balance. Taking advantage, Rin **swept his legs** out from under him.
Jinin hit the ground hard, his head smashing against the stone floor. Blood trickled down his forehead.
Rin wasted no time. She straddled him, raining down **relentless punches**—one, two, ten! Each strike landed with brutal force, leaving Jinin's face a **bloody mess.** His left eye swelled shut, and for the first time, fear flickered across his expression.
"You think I can't beat you?" Rin growled between punches. "This is for my team. For my home."
Jinin let out a **snarling laugh.** "You think this is my full power?"
Before Rin could react, **a surge of energy erupted** from Jinin's palms, blasting her backward. She tumbled across the ground, gasping as the impact stole the air from her lungs.
The scene slowed. Rin, lying there, felt her strength waning. "I wasn't strong enough," she thought bitterly. "Maybe... I was never meant to protect them."
A blinding **light** burst before her eyes.
Kyle.
His silhouette stood firm in front of her, absorbing Jinin's deadly attack. Sparks of energy crackled around him as he turned his gaze toward her.
"Rin, as long as I'm here," Kyle said, his voice steady, "I won't let anything happen to my team."
With **a surge of power**, he redirected Jinin's own attack back at him. The force slammed into Jinin, who screamed in agony, his body convulsing from the impact. He tried to flee, but the energy consumed him.
Kyle didn't wait. He **scooped Rin into his arms** and sprinted toward the exit. She barely registered his warmth before her vision faded into darkness.

### **Back in the Real World**
Shun ran up to Kyle the moment they emerged from the portal. "Kyle! What the hell happened in there?"
Kyle didn't answer. He gently laid Rin down on the soft earth, then immediately **began CPR**.
"Come on, Rin," he muttered. "Wake up."
Nothing.
He pinched her nose, pressing his lips to hers, breathing air into her lungs.
A second passed. Then another.
Rin gasped, her eyes flying open. She looked at Kyle, confusion flashing across her face. Then—**SMACK!**
She slapped him, hard.
"W-what are you doing?!" she stammered, her face red.
Kyle just grinned, wiping blood from his mouth. "Relax, I was just saving your life. You're welcome."
Shun crossed his arms. "Alright, enough with the romance. We need to figure out our next move."

### **One Hour Later**
Kyle carried Rin as they walked, exhaustion weighing on them. She dozed against his chest, her breathing slow and steady.
Kyle **gently tapped her cheek.** "This isn't the place to sleep, princess."
Rin groaned, forcing her eyes open. He **set her down**, and she stumbled slightly before catching herself.
The journey continued.
The silence between them was thick, but Shun suddenly **snapped.**
"What the hell is wrong with you, Kyle?" He **grabbed Kyle's collar** and landed a **solid punch** to his jaw.
Kyle's head snapped to the side, blood dripping from his lip. But he didn't retaliate.
"Say something, damn it!" Shun shouted.
Kyle met his gaze, calm and steady. "Are you done?"
Shun clenched his fists, breathing heavily. "You think you can do everything alone, don't you? You think we're just background characters in your story?"
"That's not it," Kyle said, voice cold. "I do what needs to be done. If you can't handle it, walk away."
Shun let out a bitter laugh. "You're unbelievable."
Rin **stepped between them.** "Enough. We have more important things to focus on."
Shun pushed her aside, but this time, Kyle reacted.
With **lightning-fast speed,** he grabbed Shun's wrist and twisted it, slamming him against a tree. "You don't lay a hand on her," Kyle warned. His voice was deadly quiet.
For a moment, they stared at each other, tension thick as smoke.
Then, Kyle released him. "Let's move."

### **The Mysterious Temple**
After hours of walking, something **strange happened.**
Kyle and Rin slowed, their eyes locked on the sight before them.
A massive **temple**, ancient and towering, loomed in the distance.
Kyle's breath caught. "I've... seen this place before."
Shun frowned. "What do you mean?"
Kyle didn't answer. His chest tightened, memories stirring in the back of his mind.
Rin swallowed hard. She was thinking the same thing.
"This is the same place," they both whispered.
As they approached, **a group of warriors emerged from the temple.** Their eyes scanned over them—until their gaze landed on Kyle.
Suddenly, they **stepped back**, faces pale with fear.
Swords **unsheathed**, their sharp tips pointed directly at Kyle's throat.
"What the hell?" Shun blurted. "Why are you attacking him?"
Then, a **man stepped forward.**
Victor Storm.
His piercing eyes locked onto Kyle before he **sliced his leg with a lightning-fast attack.**
Kyle **dropped to one knee, bleeding.**
Shun tried to rush forward, but the guards blocked him. "STOP THIS!" he shouted.
Victor didn't blink. "Take him down," he ordered.
Kyle **smirked**, wiping the blood from his lip. "Oh? You wanna fight?"
Then, with a swift movement, he **grabbed a soldier's wrist, flipped him, and sent him crashing into the ground.**
The real fight was about to begin.
Kyle stops after hitting the guy and says, "I don't want to fight you, so stop."
Victor started getting scared that all of his stories were true
Everyone standing there gets scared and pulls their children behind them.
Seeing all this, Shun asks Rin why these people are treating Kyle like that.
Rin tells him, "I'll tell you in a while, not right now."
Hearing this, Shun gets furious at everyone and shouts,
"What are you all doing?! He's our leader! His name is Kyle Orion!"
Hearing this, everyone standing there gets stunned and scared.
Then, some of the people come and have their bags placed in their room.
A few hours later:
Kyle and Shun are taking a bath — their bathrooms were next to each other, so sound could travel between them.
While bathing, Shun asks Kyle,
"Why were those people looking at you like you're some kind of criminal, bro?"
Kyle replies in a deep voice,
"If you want an answer to that, ask someone who lives here. I don't have any answer for it."
As **Kyle and Shun are stepping out of the bathroom**, a group of guys shows up and blocks their way.
One of them, speaking angrily, says,
**"Are you guys new here? Haha... well, that's great. Looks like we'll get a chance to throw some punches."**
**Shun**, slightly irritated, replies,
**"No, we're guests here, not students like you guys."**
Then that guy introduces himself,
**"Haruki Yamamoto."**
Just then, **Kyle steps forward from behind** and says to the group,
**"Don't mess with me, got it? For people like you, just hearing my name should be enough. Listen carefully — the name's *Kyle Orion*."**
On hearing the name those people get scared and run away from there
Then Kyle starts leaving from there then Shun seeing him thinks "Oh my god, everybody here gets scared just on hearing his name, what is it like in him?"
Then Kyle gets confused and says "Shall we go or not?"
Then Shun comes out with him
After a few minutes (in his room) :-
Shun (in confusion) "Yaar what kind of clothes have these people worn, it seems I did not gain much by coming to Japan"
Then after some time He calls a worker and asks him, "Listen Miss, how. Can I wear these clothes?"
At that time, Shun was only wearing trousers and his upper body was cloth-less.
The worker starts blushing after seeing this and says lovingly, "He has to wear it like this" (tells him the way to wear it).
Then Shun comes out wearing those clothes and sees that near the gate
Kyle has killed three people and their blood is spread everywhere and those boys were none other than the same boys who were fighting with him in the bathroom.
