Chapter 31: Parted Ways, Jin's Decision

Hunyo and Brian returns to their home world as they end up in room full of inventions as both reunited with Rei, Marissa, Rolento and Mr. Sakyo.

"Everyone, did you really miss me." Hunyo said and Marissa finally hugged her husband as she cries.

"Hunyo... how could you leave me like that? It has been five weeks you never did show up, sob..." Marissa cried finally reunited with your husband.

"It's alright, Marissa. It's my fault for leaving you like this. It was a long story."

"Thank goodness, they are back." Rei smiled and Rolento finally meets both of them.

"Looks like you two having a long adventure without me. I've never experienced that."

"Rolento..." Brian smirked and Mr. Sakyo came to see Hunyo.

"Jun... I'm glad that you came back. We thought that you were long-time dead. But I never saw that you had disappeared for five weeks."

"Mr. Sakyo... I didn't expect that you were here in Silveria Corporation." Hunyo said and Rei explains.

"Brian told him about the accident happened to you. All of the students were very worried and depressed. Furthermore, all of the students blame the vice dean for your disappearance."

"As you know, Jun. I made the vice dean relived on his duties after his actions made you worse. Your job as a professor is not falling apart. The students of this university had liked your prowess of teaching sports." Mr. Sakyo said and Hunyo was happy that his job was not falling apart.

"You mean that my job is not falling apart. I'm impressed."

"Jun... from this day as the dean of physical education and aesthetics, you are now teaching all the students in Karate and Self-Defense in all UE branches. I'm looking forward to do your teaching." Mr. Sakyo happily promotes Hunyo on teaching all the students in all branches in UE and he thanked him.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Sakyo."

"Not at all, Jun... I replaced the vice dean to a new one so that he won't misjudge you any longer." Mr. Sakyo said and Marissa realizes Hunyo doesn't wear the watch.

"Hunyo, what happened to your watch? You tried so hard to get that Rolex watch?" Marissa asked.

"I gave it to someone. I can buy some newly expensive watch anytime." Hunyo smirked and Marissa became angry to him.

"Don't tell me... you give a present to other women that you've been hang out."

"No, Marissa... I give it to a special friend and a friend who is just like my son." Hunyo said and he reminds Jin as his own son and an acquaintance and moves on.


Meanwhile, Jin and Xiaoyu finally return to the Mishima Zaibatsu after a long journey to the Antarctic. Ryu pays a visit to both of them while carrying a white duffel bag.

"Well it seems that the battle is over. I can continue on my journey in getting stronger." Ryu said and Jin became calm to his newly found friend.

"Sounds like you are going to travel around the world to tests your skills."

"Um, Ryu... where's Mr. Masters? He's with you while all of us are in the Antarctic?" Xiaoyu asked childishly.

"You mean Ken...?" Ryu answered and he knows that he and Ken were parted ways after a long journey to the Antarctic. "He and I we parted ways. But I heard he's going to reunite with his family."

"Oh..."

"I guess that you and I we parted ways. But I'm glad that you and I we face each other." Jin said happily.

"But someday, you might able to defeat me to stand a chance. In your age you still have time to get you stronger as a fighter." Ryu said as he tells him. "I guess that I can challenge you sometime. I know that you are a worthy opponent to face."

"Okay, Ryu. I accept your challenge. I guess that you and I we fight face to face in the tournament. But the next time we meet, it would be a one hell of a match." Jin said smirking and both finally shake hands promising to have a fight each other at the tournament and Ryu begins to leave.

"Till next time..."

When Ryu finally departs and to continue travel around the world, Jin and Xiaoyu are watching him walking away.

"Jin, I guess that he's travelling around the world." Xiaoyu said and Jin replies calmly.

"That's how he is... He's indeed a true warrior. I wanted to serve him in the Zaibatsu. But, I truly respect him as a martial artist like me."

"You think you can fight him, Jin. I mean he's pretty strong to fight him like that." Xiaoyu reacted and Jin responded.

"He and I we made a promise. A promise that he and I we can clash with our fighting techniques in the following tournaments."

"Um... Jin, is it okay that you're gonna tutor me? I had a lot of trouble in my math subjects." Xiaoyu begged and Jin replies in a light-hearted manner.

"Only one condition, I'm still the head of the Zaibatsu and I have a lot of hard work. I can tutor you if I have a free time, is that okay for you."

"Sure..." Xiaoyu agreed and both saw Alisa arrives to see them while flying in jet-packed wings on her back as she landed.

"Xiaoyu... Ms. Kasugano is looking for you at the amusement park. She's been waiting for you." Alisa said and Xiaoyu easily accepts Sakura's invite.

"I'll be there, Alisa. Just for a moment, please." Xiaoyu smiled and noticed Jin begins to walk away. "Uh, Jin... where are you going?"

"You girls go ahead. I got a lot of work to do." Jin said nicely as he continues walking away letting Xiaoyu to talk with Alisa.

"Alisa, let's go to the amusement park. Sakura wants to meet her friend of hers." Xiaoyu said excitedly.

While both Xiaoyu and Alisa are talking in going to the amusement park, they don't know that Jin would trick Xiaoyu as he mumbled.

"Forgive me, Xiao. I used that up so that you won't get in my way. I need to decide for myself what to do."

2 hours later:

Xiaoyu, Alisa, Sakura and Kei are having fun in the amusement park. Panda watches them and Miharu arrives to see them.

"Panda... how's Xiao doing?" Miharu asked and she watches them.

At the office of the Mishima Zaibatsu, Jin still worries for his mentor while watching at the sky view window. He reminisce all the things that his mentor Hunyo did for him.

"We can always be friends, forever."

Jin looks at Hunyo's watch as he finally wears it remembering his teacher for the first time he meets him. Therefore, Nina arrives to see him.

"There you are. Still thinking about the old man?"

"Yes... I still can't forget about Mr. Panganiban. He was the only person can teach me these things. After all, he just want me to make things right."

"So, what's your decision now?" Nina asked and Jin had finally made his decision.

"I must look for Mr. Panganiban. If Ryu was saying was true that Mr. Panganiban was here, I must find him? I remember he's from the Philippines."

"..."

"Nina... if I'm gone tell Xiao that I'm not coming back. You are my trusted friend and a bodyguard. From now on you are the acting head of this company once I left. Everyone will think that I'm already gone."

"Jin... I hope you'll be alright." Nina said finally accepts his words as Jin walks away.

He finally decided to find Hunyo on his world as he continues to leave the office. Nina then saw the portrait left in his office and reveals that he became friends with Ryu and Ken as well as Hunyo his teacher and a friend who makes him change.
