2003.

six months before Kenichi joins Ryozampaku, twelve years before the Kengan elimination tournament begins.

Beginning of middle school.

The brilliant high school, the last three years of education for Japan's young prodigies, 15-year-old Kei Kazama, enters and receives the glares of the common bullies of the high school, although somewhat removed from his previous location, Nijima enrolled him in this high school, among them the wary glances of some gang groups, or attempts at them, the underworld would eat them alive. - Kei thought. - seeing how they moved

Middle school is undoubtedly a common and ordinary school, the young people are very young to be considered by criminal gangs, who still see with eyes the ingenuity and childishness. On the other hand, high school is different here, it is normal for bullies to be part of the union or creation of gangs.

The classes were calm, and normal without some inconveniences until lunchtime. - We need Kei Kazama. - said a young man with long bleached blonde hair.

Kei looked up. It's just a common fledgling. - thought the young man.

Who followed the bully to the rooftop, there were about nine boys formed, among them, there was someone he recognized, who was leaning on the metal mesh, the large fence that prevented young people from falling into the void.

- Tsukuba. -

He heard the young man's name.

-you are the leader of the middle school, everyone has said that you ruled the middle school, san ryu. Here it will be different, we have established rules. - said Koga, with blue hair, combed up, with an arrogant smile.

- Here, you have to follow an established order, of course, only some can reach the top, but you will have to earn it. - the young man continued with a confident air, Koga had a bandana on his head, a year older than Kei, and earrings in his ears.

-I'm wasting my lunchtime on some stupidities - said Kei, he thought Kizara or Ukita the boxer would be there at least.

-wait a moment. - said Tsukuba. Getting up from the fence. - if you want to leave, you'll have to fight. -

The confident gesture in Tsukuba was palpable as the leader of the karate dojo, he has a long history of fights.

His karate stance was not very impressive, he had a skipping step, with a classic stance, he had fought against some novice karateka, and they all had one mistake, reaction speed, dirty blows, and feints, they never expected them and fell into the betrayal of the competitions.

-well, I'd like to move a bit, I haven't had any fights for a while. - said Kei, his basic stance with his feet planted on the ground.

Tsukuba attacked in a blink of an eye directly to Kei's face, he blocked the blow with another blow directed at the same fist that was approaching to hit him with so much force. An impact sound resonated, and Tsukuba felt his knuckles bleed, while his right arm was almost paralyzed.

-your fists are fast, but not as fast as mine, and your strength is mediocre in every rule - said Kei. The rooftop was silent.

From behind Koga, he gave a kick directly to his head, which hit due to the surprise of the kick, tsukuba took advantage of the attack and gave two quick punches in a row, the first hit the cheekbone, and the second landed on the side, near the temple.

-ja- said koga.

Kei received the impact from súcuba but quickly turned around and attacked Koga with the tiger's bite, Koga's smooth and lean skin was squeezed with enough force to give him swelling. Kei pulled his opponent and brought him close enough, a brutal headbutt hit Koga's nose, the sound of the cartilage breaking was not very nice.

-ahhhhh, my nose. - said Koga. The blood flowed scandalously, like an open faucet, as the boy held his nose.

Kei didn't have time to finish off his opponent, Tsukuba attacked, with deadly speed managing to hit a combo - Tsukuba's smile widened. - but it was a mistake, the image of a forearm blocking the kick was enough, three quick blows, three blows fired with an uncommon strength for a younger boy like Kei.

Tsukuba managed to shield the first blow, but the second fit behind his high guard from below. Giving an uppercut, the next blow was a tiger's bite, a technique that master Kovac taught kei, which consists of grabbing the trapezius muscles of the body with force and jumping with all possible force, like a tiger that jumps an obstacle, this is only a feint, and can only be performed when the opponent is disoriented or specific moments of the fight, it specializes in fleeing or dodging kicks.

Kei grabbed the trapezius with force and jumped over Tsukuba's head, enough time to press with all his might the sensitive parts of the body. It is a technique of abuse to the nerves of his opponents.

Tsukuba was pulled from back to front, hitting the cement hard with his knees, he was dizzy from losing his opponent, and the spectators saw the magnificent athleticism of the young Kei.

Kei glanced at Koga, who was still in tears, the blow to the head had shattered his nose and he could see that the shirt he was wearing was now covered in blood.

Kei advanced to Tsukuba and gave a low kick, which Tsukuba could not dodge and hit him squarely in the face, the blow was enough to knock him out. The bullies who were behind Koga lost their confidence after the short fight of seconds. The strength shown by Kei was terrifying.

The bodies of even the newly recruited were now trembling with fear, all actions were now expectant for the next steps. Kei checked Tsukuba's clothes, only 600 yen, - What a shame, - he said aloud.

-What are you doing? - said one of Tsukuba's lackeys from the karate club, who saw how he had beaten their captain with two moves.

-I need some money, after all, the winner takes it all, everyone, if you want to leave, you must gather 5,000 yen, I hope your wallets are not as empty as this idiot's, - Kei said.

-B-b-but we didn't do anything, - said a young man of common appearance, with glasses. Only a little more muscular than the others.

-Call it a good deed, none of you have the makings of gangsters, you can take this as a warning, there are worse things than losing a few bills, well, what are you waiting for? I'm in a hurry, - Kei said.

Koga's thugs were the first to understand, they gave 1,500 yen and left through the door, dragging Koga, who was still devastated by the ruthless headbutt delivered by Kei.

-What do you say, they understood quickly. We're still short on money, - Kei said.

All the boys sighed, but they handed over the money, even more than Kei had expected. With his new reward, he left the place counting the money, until he saw his favorite prey, Kenichi Shirahama, reading a book in the classroom.

-Kenichi, how nice to see you here. Your mother makes a delicious meal, I hope you have an extra bento, our high school is going to be great, - Kei said sarcastically, but without lying.

Kei sat down and stole Kenichi's lunch, he just sighed, Nijima had already warned him, that Kei Kazama had been stealing his lunch for three years. When Kei's parents were summoned for the first time he stole Kenichi's lunch, a group of gangsters came to the school and everything was left in the fear of the teachers. His brother Hiroshi had gained some fame, and after seeing his little brother grow, he returned to practice kickboxing and continued to improve his skills, it would be a shame if his brother surpassed him.

Kenichi tried to say something but decided it was better not to get involved in trouble. -It's delicious, tomorrow ask your mother to make those meat noodles that I like so much, - Kei said.

-Sure, - Kenichi said, taking out a second lunch. After some lies, his mother prepared two lunches every day.

-Ahh, I'm eager to see what they sent to the brainiacs, good luck Kenichi, - Kei said, hitting Kenichi's shoulder, who just sighed in the distance, Kei had hit so many people that he decided to see Kei as an insurmountable barrier.

-Hey, give me some of that bread, - Kei shouted, seeing the bread with jam, it was a luxury, even on Takemoto's farm, he never had meals with such a high level of sugar and therefore so delicious.

The classes continued until 1:00 pm, and the class time ended completely, giving way to school groups, which began in half an hour, from basketball, gymnastics, soccer, gardening, athletics, and some martial arts courses. For now, there were only a few signs to register for the course for the school year. At the exit, two streets away, a group of ten people with vicious faces and some with knives and chains surrounded him.

-I see, - Kei said.

-Forgive us for what we're about to do, but you should get a lesson beforehand, - said one of the gangsters holding a sharp knife.

-I'm sorry too, - Kei said. The fight began, Kei gave four quick, devastating kicks, the wind changed, and Kei crouched down, avoiding the chain. Two steps and three jabs to the face caused the chained character to fall. The fight continued, and in less than three minutes, everyone was on the ground, unconscious or begging for mercy.

-Well, that turned out better than I expected, - Kei said, checking the 13,000 yen in his hands.

In the distance, a shadow saw the entire spectacle and could only mutter a few unintelligible words.

...

For all the readers of this fanfic, I must say that we are at chapter 51 on Patreon, but I have written it on my own, up to chapter 60, and I already have the outlines up to chapter 70, more or less. That is because I have been writing the series for 6 months, and I try to give it a strong point, I want to make the allegory of the secondary character, who always has a more difficult path than the protagonist, they usually pay the true price of things, no like others.
