Martial Arts System

In the Kurogami Residence.

A sleepy little girl walked down the stairs while rubbing her sleepy-looking eyes.

With one eye open, Ayako asked with a sleepy tone, ''What is going on?''

Her mother, Azumi, was sitting in the kitchen with Alena.

She replied, ''Nothing, sweety.''

Ayako sleepily nodded and went to the living room, where Azura was.

She fell down on the couch with her tiny head on Azura's lap.

Azura rubbed her tiny head while looking at the TV screen.

''Will you leave Ichiro if you can marry me?'' Ayako mumbled, with her eyes barely staying open.

Azura looked at her with surprise and let out a sweet giggle, ''Ask Ichiro if he is willing to leave me.''

Ayako nodded slowly, ''I will…'' Her voice became quieter, and her breathing became steady, signaling that she had fallen asleep.

In the kitchen.

Alena glanced outside the window and said, ''I wonder what is happening...''

Azumi took a sip of the warm coffee, trying to stay awake.

However, at that moment, the ground shook!

*BOOM!*

A loud booming sound erupted somewhere in Irio, making the buildings shake and the ground tremble.

The coffee in the cup spilled out and stained the table.

''Earthquake!'' Anxious-looking Eiji came from the upstairs and saw shells about to fall down.

Ayako jolted awake and saw the surrounding environment shaking around her.

However, after a few seconds, the shaking stopped.

Alena and Azumi crouched next to the table with cold sweat pouring down.

''W-What happened?'' Ayako asked while being trapped in Azura's hug, who seemed serious.

Alena stood up and glanced outside the window. Her bright blue eyes soon widened in surprise after seeing beams of lasers flying into the sky.

It was like a laser show appeared out of nowhere, except these lasers were real.

On the TV screen, a notification about Breaking News popped out.

They heard the familiar theme song of the news, which attracted their attention.

Azura and Ayako turned their heads towards the TV and soon, a middle-aged man, who was Irio's News Station's News Anchor.

The News Anchor was sitting on a helicopter with a bright red sky around him, ''Citizens of Irio. I am speaking to you from the sky above the Police Station, where the sudden commotion was coming from.''

The camera turned to look at the destroyed ceiling of the Police Station that was crumbled down.

Everyone inside Kurogami Residence looked surprised to see the destruction.

Soon, the News Anchor continued, ''We haven't got confirmation about who is the culprit behind these terrifying events; however, all citizens near Police Station had been evacuated.''

''Please stay tuned; we will be the first ones to tell if the rest of the City also needs evacuating.''

The voice disappeared; however, the News kept broadcasting the Police Station.

Every now and then, a bright red light appeared from the windows and colored the surrounding environment the color of blood.

…

Outskirts of Irio.

*BAM!*

A figure flew through the air and crashed through multiple trees before stopping after his back crashed onto a tree.

''Pah!'' He coughed out blood and shakily stood up.

*SWOOSH*

His face grimaced after hearing someone approaching him with deadly speed.

A beautiful middle-aged woman with flowy red hair and long legs with beautiful curves slowly descended from the air.

Once her heels touched the ground, she pressed her hands to her waist, ''So, piece of shit. Any last words?''

''Hahahaha…'' The injured man only laughed mockingly, ''How utterly predictable.''

''Hmm?'' The beautiful woman frowned and slammed her heel into the man's shoulder, breaking something in the process.

*CRACK!*

''ARGH!'' The man grimaced in pain, ''Hahahaha!''

''Stop laughing. I will kill you.'' She said coldly and twisted the pointy heel inside the flesh.

''Hah… Underworld.'' The man spat out the excessive blood from his mouth, ''Of course, you guys would target the Secret Geniuses. It is so… Painfully obvious.''

''Heh, really.'' She brushed the strands of her hair to the side, ''Well, I gotta admit that you guys do a horrible job protecting them.''

''Hah…'' The man once again grinned with bloodied teeth showing, ''Rankless Ones… More like Retarded Ones, kukukuku!''

*CRACK!*

The beautiful woman strong stomp dislocated the man's shoulder and made bones pop out in the process.

''ARGH!'' The man screamed in agony, ''Don't be like that, Miss Retarded One!''

*POW!*

Her delicate fist landed on the man's cheek, and she watched as his teeth broke down.

''Pah!'' He spat out the teeth, which landed on her beautiful dress, which was unstained only a moment ago.

However, she didn't seem to care as she simply wiped the blood out from her face.

''Tell me the identity of the Secret Genius.'' She pressed a lot of importance on her each word, ''Or… Everyone will die here.''

''You say it like I give a shit about them.'' The man looked at the city in the distance, ''They all can die; why the fuck would I care?''

''But, you care about the brat?'' She leaned closer and whispered with coldness, ''What do you think will happen to him if everything was sent into blazes…''

''Or her.'' The man grinned, ''You don't know the gender.''

The woman narrowed her eyes, ''Fine… Let's have another discussion after this part of the World is wiped out from the existence.'' She stood up, and her legs left the ground with her whole body floating.

The man stayed quiet with a calm grin.

When she reached the height of three kilometers, she noticed the dot of the City in the distance.

She raised her hand and clenched her fist. In the palm of her fist, sparks of yellow, orange, and reddish colors were somewhat visible.

''Spark… Spark… Spark!'' A larger spark started forming in her hand, which soon was big enough to call a ball!

In the forest.

The man looked at the sky with a grin, ''Hehe… Well.'' When he looked at the City, his eyesight caught something that made him rethink his decision.

His gaze went past hundreds of buildings until it landed on the black-haired youth fighting with a muscular figure.

''Heh.'' He grinned and looked at the air in front of him, ''What? I never planned to let her destroy the City.''

''What? Of course not; I am not ruthless enough to withstand all the deaths on my shoulders.''

In front of him, there was no one.

In his mind, no one was talking.

The man was speaking to himself, which made him look crazy.

Because he was.

One of the craziest men in the world had gathered in the outskirts of Irio.

The man was part of the Rankless Ones and part of Martial Artists.

A man who was with no one's side but also with both sides.

A man who was deemed too dangerous to be abandoned by either side.

If Rankless Ones throw him out of their ranks, he will be a big pain in the ass.

If Martial Ones throw him out, they will shudder from the thought alone.

A man whose name itself was taboo.

Rankless Saint.

Martial Saint.

Saint of Craziness, Finn Fullhouse, the craziest man alive.
