Ryu didn't know that he dozed off. He checked the clock on the cracked wall. It was 6:30AM. He still had time. He got dressed into his school uniform and packed his bookbag. He walked outside and went to school.
    "Well class, we have a new student," said the homeroom teacher. Fortunately, Saki and Taro were in that class, and Ryu was right on time. Ryu entered the room and turned to the class. "Hello. My name is Ryu. Pleased to meet you," He said and took his seat. He was near the class bullies in the school. He was surely unlucky there. "Hey new kid," said one of the bullies, Katrina. Ryu turned his head to Katrina, only to be punched in the gut. No one even saw. His head hit the desk in pain. For some reason, he was smiling. "Why are you smiling, fool?" asked Katrina. "This make me stronger," he said. He quickly sat up straight. Katrina was amazed, but angry too. "How about we fight this afternoon?" Katrina asked. Ryu nodded.
     Saki turned took look at Ryu to see how he was doing. She saw his hand on his hip. He certainly was already hit. The bell rang. Ryu walked out with Katrina following him. Saki was worried. What if he had to go to the hospital because of those bullies? Saki followed them. After a little while, Ryu and Katrina where in the gym. Saki was in the stands, watching quietly. "You ready?" asked Katrina. Ryu nodded.

Katrina charged after Ryu, sending her fist at him. Ryu dodged her attack with a backflip.
"Haha, your too slow!" said Ryu, laughing.
"Shut up, pipsqueak!" yelled Katrina.
"What did you just call me?!" asked Ryu, charging after her.
"Pipsqueak!" answered Katrina. Ryu kicked Katrina away from him, which actually did some damage to her. Saki was a little surprised he could dodge her attacks. She was quick.
"Ow! That actually hurt," said Katrina. "But, can you handle the same pain?" She hit Ryu directly into the stomache. Ryu didn't even try to dodge. Saki was ready to step in, but she noticed Ryu's face. He was...smiling?

"Haha. I can deal with the same pain alright," said Ryu, getting up.

"W-Wha?!?" said Katrina. "Even that medium attack didn't affect him?!"

Ryu got into a cat stance and looked directly at her. "Come at me,"

Katrina smirked. "Of course," She charged at him. Ryu took a step back, dodging her attack, and then he stepped behind her and threw his arm around her neck, threatening to choke her to death.

"And there, you would be dead if I were to choke you," said Ryu. Katrina fell to he knees, unable to aknowledge that Ryu beat her. "I was... beaten by the new kid... and I'm... the strongest one...," said Katrina. "Well, got to go," said Ryu, walking out. When he walked out of the doors, he saw another student who looked exactly like that boy in Ryu's dream. Ryu froze and the student walks into the gym.
