The Martial Unity

"A bodyguard?" A young man glanced at the adolescent boy with the unusual hair and eyes with a mocking skeptical grin, before turning back to the scrawny frail man in front of him.

"Haha, you were so scared you got a boy younger than you as a bodyguard than you??" A rough voice contemptuously spat, sparking a bout of laughter.

Six young adult men had surrounded a frail-looking man and the boy behind him in a remote part of an outer district of Hajin.

"I didn't think it was possible Miguel, but you've become even more pathetic, you fucking wimp." One of the men turned to the boy. "Run home your mommy little boy."

Rui sighed, turning to Miguel. "See, this is why I told you wearing my uniform was a good idea."

Then six men toying with Miguel were not amused. "Hm? Did you not hear me?" One of them towered over the adolescent boy, trying to intimidate him. "I said scra-"

"I'll give you one chance." Rui cut him off. "Leave now and you won't get hurt."

The man sighed dramatically. "Kids these days think they're hot shit." He shoved his hands forward, aiming to push the boy down.

THUD

Before the man realized it, he found himself flat on his back on the ground.

"What the fuck?" The others rushed forward towards Miguel and Rui. Rui stepped forward nonchalantly as Miguel tripped as he stumbled back.
