Yet Shen Just smirked And laughs "No... That simple isn't my style get it Cecil i don't want to under someone foot because of his status... That's Just not my style."

"Why did you say it twice?" Cecil interrupted but Shen kept straight face "Style" He Said for one more time, then the school proceed to start and well outside of boring classes such as English, Math And Science the Foreign language class was next And shen was really eager after all He knew And fluently speak more than one language,

But before the class could start a Young under classmate walked to Shen holding a note his glasses broken "H-hello I was sent here by Marcus to give you this" He Said And give him the note.

'Chink Chank Walker you humiliated me And I want you to Come And fight me like a man I'm waiting behide Chinzerro's Hope you are not scared'

This of course hit Shen He places his Hand on the under classmate "did Marcus hit you or anything?" He asked worry in his tone Just for the student to nod.

Cecil imminently jumps in front of him "Shen this is crazy you can skip class just like that And not when Marcus is playing with you like this he's Just rich boy bully Just let it be you are on thin ice!" Cecil said yet with how long He knows shen He Just followed with sight "Ah... Why I am even trying... I'll come up with excuse."

"Thank Cecil you are real dude" shen Said as He turns on his heel And run beside Chinzerro's. It was known as this place where lots of bad deals happens Chinzerro's death end was the whole name used by bullies And other people to do any source of the deal.

As she runs to the choose place accidently bumped into old man with long Grayish White long thick beard Who catches him the teenager rises his head And imminently started to apologize "I'm so, so sorry I am in hurry" she Said And as He wanted to continue he was stopped by the old man now looking at the man more its clear this man is not American his long beard wrinkled face bald head hidden Under traditional Chinese straw hat.

"I see" the man whisper as He caresses his beard "harmful, Hot headed and Bashful but with tight sense for justice And protection" the man Said as shen look more deeply at him, He now sees it clearly this man is old fashion monk but then looked at him "What excuse me?" she was caught off guard by what He Just said "You are full of really interesting quirks Young Warden"

But then she looked at him And shake his head "I'm sorry for the bump but I really need to go" He Said And turn on his heel running at the place that was the place of meeting. The old man smiles as He slowly started going same path

As she sprinted to the place it was dark And empty even at Times like this, Behide the Chinzerro's shen looked around and He heard it "Chink chank Walker you really pissed me off if you were like the rest And was Just a good little soldier for me to play with, but you hit me And Hurt me! Me!... But its okey I decide to give you own medicine Come And get him" Marcus shouted as the group of thugs left the shadows.

Marcus smiles as He licks his lips "Yes this is your end Chink chank after I am all done with you nobody will ever stand in my way like ever... You are Just a fucking thing a mere to for me to play with do you understand!"

"So that's it you Who bully Under classmates for fun And spreading terror now cannot stand against a one person alone? You paid these thugs to do your dirty little work... That's a shame you bring on your own name" Shen Said as He found this act furiously And dishonored the two might have differences, but even this is panicle of a weak man in his eyes.

The thugs hold baseball bats wearing boxers or wielding iron pipes.

Then The thugs charge at Shen Who Swiftly position into stance lowering his lower body to repel himself on the side using his hands as base Shen lifted his legs in the air And kicked two thugs into the gut.

She moved like wind swiftly and precisely yet one of the thugs in front of him lifted his bet into the air And in wide arc was About to smash the teenager head the air Split s inches away from shen face, yet he trusted his instincts rushing towards closing the gap quickly And in the Split seconds of hasitation in the attacker eyes Shen grabs his writs twisted it And overthrow the thug over his shoulder then finished him with straight drop jab into his face the force of the strike pushed the man against the ground.

"That's one down Four remains" shen thought to himself his eyes focused quickly moving to keep every single one in his field of vision.

Shen changed his stance as he looked at the one man wearing boxer his next target was clear with lowering his And moving all his strength to the feet Shen reached amazing speed in no time closing the distance once more before the thug could strike Shen stops in middle of the step twisted his body And hitting the Men thigh with snap kick imminently followed by spinning heel aiming high. Both strikes spread like drumbeat And the final strike cracked against the ribs with a thud that echoed loudly as the grunt falls Shen imminently delivering precise straight punch into the grunt while it was falling down sending him into the ground.

"Okay don't you think this is enough you should have enough is it worthy to getting your ass kicked for just some cash get a Jobs goddammit" the sentence left Shen mouth followed by sly grin.

Marcus watched from distance annoyed as He looked somewhere "Get rid of him!" He shouted as then a one more thug emerges from the shadow his build different than others older for sure And more build, yet it was not all the two reminding grunts looked at each other And drop what they were holding And they run away.

" And you are?" she asked yet kept his distance He was bigger stronger for sure, but He could not match his speed that were though s Shen had in his mind.

"I'm Guztav Nemakachenko And you are in deep trouble" Guztav Said And approached Shen slowly watching his reactions yet Shen didn't flinch He closed the distance with another dash And when the distance was short enough Shen jumped And deliver a devastating knee into Guztav face yet what happened next made she stunned as Guztav stands There laughing as she s moment falling apart And start to return to earth then!

Crack! As Guztav releases his punch the blow felt like sledgehammer as the bone met skin And the force send shen is flying into the pile of boxes "What... What the fuck I am seeing start... Thats new" Shen Said as He tried to get up but the blow was so heavy it shook Shen's head casting him to be unable disorientation with head spinning And rumbling it was death sentence for Shen.

But with one lucky glare Shen see Guztav hand was dark gray like He was wearing a glove maybe gauntlet And as Guztav approached Shen cracking his knuckles "You are finished" He Said mocking she attempts to over power him And now getting his ass kicked yet then a pair of footsteps echoes behide And there he is the very same monk Who could not help but Smile "A Warden of Metal interesting" He Said And sigh "Is this really the Best you can do young man from What I have seen it seem your goal is to protect these who cannot protect themselves why are you struggling against someone Who don't match you in any single aspects of your fierce Soul"

"What the fuck are you saying old man that makes like no sense whatsoever are high" Shen shouted loudly when Guztav smiles "I see there is another Sensei please for give me is this your student?" He asked as his Hand glow Grey And changes shape into spiked mace.

Seeing this Shen think He is dreaming And imminently dashed away from Guztav "What... What is this?! What the Hell is going on!" shen shouted as He looked at the old man.

"IF you desire power you should understand where the power is need to come from, strength, desire, Will power these are key elements that a fire always need to have if you want it to burn to its fullest the power fuels strength And strength is field by desire And desire is needed to achieve even greater power so go on then And prove me that you have what it takes to be a Warden of the fire" the monk said loudly kicking Shen Back into the fight where Guztav smashing And whipping the large spiky mace all over the alleyway.

"What the Hell is this old man saying Desire is needed to achieve power And power fuels strength?! What does that mean And how it can help me defeat cyborg here" shen took a deep breath And think About it once more?

Desire is needed to give me power And power fuels the strength it hangs it there for while as shen avoids the random throw attacks And then by his lack of surrounding Guztav toss his flail fly with amazing And insane speed toward the old man this made Shen act on his devotion to protect those who cannot protect themselves with surprising ease Shen close s the gap between the old man And flail And puts hands against it his Hand Getting pieces by the Sharp spikes And she yells in pain, yet this is what was needed... Shen desired for power were awns er as the metal begin to felt slightly more goo like and the power turn into strength as the surroundings started to be effect ed by intense heat.

Even Guztav notice And what He also notice was his plain stay still in the air "Ah man.... Isn't it bit hot in here" Guztav heard And pull his flail back where He saw slightly bloodied shen surrounding by compressed heat waves "I feel... So good all of a sudden" she said as the heat around him starts Combusting And open into influx of tempest ours And scorching vortex of fire a massive fire Pillar in the middle of the New York.
