December 30. 1938, Korea under Japanese colonization
The last day of the year a day of celebration and vows for new beginnings also burying the past events of the previous year behind to look forwards to the new year a new future, it was the first time young Sin-rak Kim finally got to feel that way after his talk with Minosuke Momota not too long ago the boy had his sights clear at where his future will go.
The boy reached the family farm near sun set as the older brothers joined him inside the dinner was served never changing not even for the last day of the year "Great an entire year passed by and we still have terrible crops" one of the older boys stated grumbly.
"At this point keeping this place going is no different than watering a dessert" another older boy said in agreement.
Sin-rak smiled as he ate not really paying any mind this didn't go unnoticed by one of his older brothers "What's so funny, huh?"
"Boys please let us be thankful we're all alive and we're together" the mother shaded.
"Well this could be the last meal I have with you guys" Sin-rak revealed much to his family's shock.
"What are you saying boy?" his mother demanded in anger born out of worry "Are you sick? Did your father infect you? The doctor said the disease isn't contagious."
"No I'm fine" Sin-rak answered.
"Then what are you saying about last meals?" the mother asked again becoming even more worried.
"I'm going to Japan and become a Yokozuna Sumo Wrestler" Sin-rak answered with pride.
The atmosphere of the house became silent before bursting out in laughter "Good joke little one" one of his older brothers said.
"A Yokozuna you really had me there" another brother said holding his stomach in laughter.
"I'm serious I met and befriended that Japanese man who'll help me reach that goal" the boy cried out in rage making the house silent not from the boy's determination but his mother's silence as she glared at the boy.
"You are not going anywhere" his mother commanded "Am I understood?"
"No I'll go and I'll be the best Sumo Wrestler in the world" Sin-rak argued.
The mother slammed the table getting up her glare becoming much fiercer "That accursed empire is inhabited by those war mongrels with a God complex they'll never accept anyone who is not of their own, even now as they rule us and pretend to treat us as citizens of their empire they continue to look down on us trying to erase our history and culture."
"Minosuke isn't like that!" Sin-rak defended his new master.
"They're all like that" his mother affirmed before sighing "I know it's difficult for a boy of your age to understand but this's human nature you end up where you star it is a curse and a terrible joke played on us from the deities above us."
"No I'll not die as some no name farmer!" Sin-rak argued "I'm sick of it living day in day out doing the same things but hoping it'll be different hoping that our same efforts will yield something!" tears cascaded down the boy's cheeks "Let's try a new effort that'll yield better results for once!"
The mother approached her son slapping him to the ground "NO! now get up and see your father" the mother commanded leaving the room.

Present Night time Airport
In the fall of night Girmov Wrestler Sarah dressed in her regular attire held on to her father's wheelchair waiting as two Arabian teens came into view one boy and one girl. The boy had short black hair and a thin beard with brown eyes dressed in a white shirt with light blue outlines, a pair of grey sweatpants and black shoes. The girl had a brown checkered scarf wrapped around her head covering her long black hair, her eyes were brown as well dressed in a light blue blouse with matching pair of janes and brown stylish slippers.
Abdulaziz opened his arms as the two youngsters rushed in hugging the Oldman "Thank God for your safety Mashaal and Mariam."
"Welcome to Japan guys" Sarah waved as the two hugged her as well.
"Auntie Sarah congrats on your victories so far" Mariam said.
"Well soon another Al-Saleh will show you up" Mashaal said.
"Are you really certain you can survive Kamogawa's demanding schedule?" Abdulaziz asked.
"Of course I can gramps why else did I come?" the boy asked sarcastically before being hit in the back of the head by Sarah "Ouch!"
"Well you could have come to look after your sister young man" Sarah scolded.
"Um she has you and gramps here" Mashaal argued only to get slapped by Sarah again.
"Alright let's get home I want you kids to unpack especially you Mariam you have an abroad scholarship that's about to start" Abdulaziz said as the family got into the taxi Mashaal helping the driver getting his and Mariam's luggage in the trunk whilst Mariam and Sarah helped Abdulaziz inside the car. Once done the family began their drive towards their home.

Tendou dojo
Inside a sat up Wrestling ring Ranma in his Mei Ling alter ego caught her training partner one of Nabiki's circle members before throwing her in a hip-toss back first on the mat, Ranma then climbed up the turnbuckle before quickly flipping backwards hitting the grounded girl pinning her.
"No that's wrong!" Nabiki scolded.
"Why? It's the logical way" Ranma argued.
"Yeah but this's Wrestling you want to have the fans engagement" Nabiki argued back "If we don't do a spot where we absorb the fans energy we'll not make any money."
"But-" Ranma tried to argue before Kasumi entered.
The eldest Tendou daughter bowed before speaking "Sorry to intrude and interrupt you guy's training but you have to see this."
The two nodded as they joined the rest of their respective families in the living room "In other news the transfer for Furnikan high students has been pin pointed at last" the anchor woman revealed before the camera cut to a school's image "The headmaster of Reinan high is welcoming the Furnikan high students with open arms to his prestigious school."
"Reinan High?" Nabiki screamed out in excitement much to the surprise of the Tendou's and Saotome's.
"Um it's just a stupid school why the excitement?" Akane asked in her signature brutish manner of speaking.
"Yeah it's just a new school nothing changed" Ranma spoke in agreement a very and I mean very rare instant in the Tendou dojo roof.
Nabiki shot her youngest sister and her cash cow with a glare "Just a school?" the middle Tendou asked in a deep voice in a threatening manner "Reinan high is one of the most prestigious powerful schools! They got clubs for all combat sports from Kendo, Gymnastics, Sumo, Karate, to freaking Keijo, a very high education and the staff are said to be the most colorful teachers out there not to mention it can get me to Tokyo U" the girl said looking up with starry dreamy eyes.
"If all that is true then why would they take us in?" Ranma asked in a suspicious tone "I mean Furnikan high doesn't have a good reputation."
"Um but it has a very colorful one" Kasumi tried to sugar coat in order to save the dojo from anymore in fights which are more frequent then one thinks.
"But it's not a good one" Akane argued back.
"SHUT IT!" Nabiki demanded as she glared at the youngsters "This's a once in a lifetime opportunity and I'll not miss it because of the likes of you. So you two will grow up like it or not."

Rooftops somewhere
'C'mon fight just a little further' the same posting thought she always gave herself was spoken again as the red haired blue kimono dressed Kunoichi continued her seemingly never ending escape as other Ninja's were hot on her tail. She stood on the top of an apartment complex before she looked down seeing a sea made up of people the girl became determined as she was about to use the same tactic she always did losing them in the crowd.
One Shinobi threw a Shuriken grazing her arm but the young Kunoichi wailed the pain away from her system 'Why are they chasing me again?' the girl questioned as she jumped towards the sea of men and women attempting to lose them there but she also allowed a small window for her chasers to throw a Shuriken at her leg grazing it bloodier than it did before making the girl lose balance as she fell in an alleyway.
"Did you get her?" one of the Ninja's asked his partner the thrower.
"Yes I knew she would try to lose us in a sea of people again" his partner answered.
"Stop chatting let's capture her while she's down" a third Ninja said as the three of them spread out searching.
The girl held on to her cut leg wincing in pain sneaking her hand inside her kimono she got a small kit out quickly treating the cut whilst crawling away.
"Where is she?" one of Ninja's asked in frustration as he threw another garbage can to the side emptying its contents all across the alleyway.
"She couldn't have gone far keep looking" his partner scolded as he kicked another garbage can down.
"How do you know that?" the Ninja asked rhetorically.
"We have been chasing her non-stop for a week not to mention that injury we just landed on her leg" his partner answered.
"Do not underestimate that traitor" a girl's voice scolded them both the two men looked back seeing a girl with short lavender hair dressed in Ninja Gi, the two men bowed in respect to her. The girl clicked her teeth angrily "Please don't tell me we lost her again? What is this the sixth hundredth time?"
"Milady we searched up the area and even followed the blood trail we managed to create but it ended here" one of Ninja's said.
"It's more than likely the traitor treated herself otherwise we would have found her by now" another Ninja argued.
The purple haired cracked her neck before shooting a glare at another Ninja "She was heading downtown correct?"
"Yes milady" the Ninja answered with a bow.
"Alright let's go there" the girl said before hearing footsteps.
"Someone's coming" another Ninja announced as the group disappeared, one of the boxes that littered the alleyway moved until it was opened revealing their target hiding inside.
"Still lucky" the girl told herself with a weak smile before she too heard the footsteps 'Oh no could it have been a trick?' the girl quickly got herself back inside the box before blackness overtook her vision 'No not now please' despite her begging her body gave up allowing her to fall into blissful slumber she betrayed herself of having.
The sound of walking stopped replaced with a loud sigh of anger "Damn punks thinking it's funny to trash this place up" the voice of a young male complained. He had short blonde hair which was dyed black and emerald green eyes dressed in a grey shirt and blue pants with black sneakers "Great my landlady going to go nuts over this and she'll make ME clean it up!" the boy complained as he threw his hands in the air and walked aimlessly in circles "'Oh Aster could you please be a nice boy and clean up this mess, I can't ask anyone else for the job and you got a good strong back not mention strong and young'" the boy told himself imitating the voice of the landlady before spitting on the ground "Well Aster will not be young and strong forever if you keep making him do these kind of things lady. I take out the trash, I clean the hallways, I might as well be the one running the place!"
The boy finished his compliant before sighing in defeat preparing himself mentally for the inventible he came across a cardboard box shrugging his shoulders the boy gave the box a swift kick letting his anger out, but the boy quickly backed off as the cardboard box opened revealing the orange haired girl inside "Oh shit I didn't mean to disturb honest" the boy apologized readying himself for a tongue lashing but it didn't come, curious the boy looked down seeing the girl immobile "Is she dead?"
(…)
Later inside the boy's apartment
"Not dead just beaten and hungry" the boy told himself in a whispered deadpan comment as he watched the girl gulp down on the food he cooked.
The girl munched down like no tomorrow not caring about table manners or sparing a glance at her host and saviour, her body was littered with bandages in the face, arms and legs. The girl glanced at her host remembering her manners "Sorry for the intrusion but I haven't ate anything for an entire day" the girl explained giving a smile with food pieces stuck in between her teeth's.
Aster looked away disgusted "No problem just eat with your mouth closed" the girl nodded as she returned to her meal, after what felt like a few seconds pass pay the girl was finally done as she got down from the table and prostrated before her host.
"Thank you for your kindness sir" the girl spoke politely not showing any signs of her lack in mannerism when she was eating.
"Yeah sure what's up with the get-up and this sir stuff? Are you a cosplayer or some traditional maid café worker?" Aster asked in bewilderment.
"Uh…kind of" the girl took a long pause before answering uneasily.
"What happened to you?" Aster asked before adding "And don't tell me you fell or something like that?"
The girl's mind raced trying to come up with a plausible story but only one can come to mind "I was coming from one of them um you know cosplay club event" the girl began uneasily Aster simply nodded gesturing for her to continue "And um these thugs came to mug me and harass me…and stuff I tried to fight them off yeah I did but they double teamed me and they beated me down and they ran off when they heard you coming."
Aster looked at her with a stoned expression not believing a single word she said, like sure it looked as if a fight took place there along with the wounds and her weird get up "Okay sure whatever not my problem" the boy said turning away.
The girl picked up a plate before running her index finger on it raising it up to her mouth savouring the taste "I have to say this's fine cooking you got here did you make it yourself?" the raven dyed hair teen simply nodded "This's very good! I didn't know boys could cook."
The boy shrugged his shoulders "Yeah I can't get take out or go to a convenience store all the time, otherwise my sister will have a fit. So I learned."
The red haired girl shown concern "Do you live with your sister?"
Aster shook his head "No she's living with her husband and my younger sister is living in the dorms of her school."
"Then what about your parents?" the red haired girl asked in worry not for herself though.
Aster chuckled "Technically yes but there never around they have left the country for half a year now and won't come back for a while."
The girl looked around the spacious condo "Then your living by yourself here?" the boy's answer came in him nodding with closed eyes "It must be lonely."
"You get used to it trust me" the boy said letting an uncomfortable pause fill the spacious apartment. The boy scratched the back of his head nervously "The phone is over there if you need to call a friend to pick you up" Aster pointed at the phone.
"Um sorry I can't do that, most of my friends are busy as of now" the girl said uneasily looking at her fingers as she played with them before shooting Aster with a pleading look "Can I stay the night? If you don't mind of course."
Aster rolled his eyes before gesturing to a closet "There's an extra blanket in there."
"Thank you again" the girl bowed "I don't deserve your kindness."
As time passed the girl entered the apartment's stall taking a shower whilst her host spoke on the mobile "So let me get this straight, you let some girl beaten and dressed in some…outfit into your house and stay the night but didn't ask her about her own name?" a male's voice scolded.
"Yeah thanks captain obvious" Aster answered sarcastically "I just forgot okay?"
"Your out of your mind!" the voice yelled "What if she's a con-woman? Or a thief stealing anything of value as we speak? Or some hooker? I can't imagine what everyone will say behind your back when they find out."
"You know Sanji here I thought my best friend will be happy for me that I got a girl in my house."
The now named Sanji's sigh was heard "I would be and even teach you how to put the moves on her but the story she told you sounds like shit."
"Thanks again for pointing the obvious, what will I do without you?" Aster asked in deadpan sarcasm before collecting himself "I already thought that and well there are some signs like the messed up alleyway and her bruises to suggest some truth ONLY some not all."
"Well did you hear any fight or seen any thugs around before you arrived?" Sanji asked.
"No but she said they run off when they heard someone's coming" Aster answered.
"Wow I never heard of punks running away because they heard one guy is coming. I'm telling a better possibility she was dumped by her pimp or something and is playing you like the idiot you are."
"Don't worry I'll be careful around her; she did say she'll leave in the morning after breakfast."
"Yeah the breakfast you prepared and then she'll excuse herself more days until nothing of value is left at your place."
"Sarcasm dually noted Sanji once she has her breakfast she'll leave that was our agreement" Aster assured his friend.
"Look I'm just worried is all, I didn't teach you how to fight just so some hooker with a nice behind tricks you."
"My dad taught me how to fight you taught me dirty tricks" Aster corrected before a sad chuckle came out "Still I can't believe I'll start a new semester without you. Like how could you drop out?"
"Hey, I already told you my Oldman's health got worse and somebody needs to take of the family business" Sanji explained.
"A noodle restaurant? You seriously dropped out for a noodle restaurant?"
"This isn't a mere noodle house you hear? This house survived ten decades through every economic and political crisis this country faced and lived to tell the tale" Sanji defended.
Aster nodded "You sound like your Oldman."
"I know scary, well I got to get working talk to you later bye."
"Bye" Aster replied cutting the call.

Morning El-Palacio gym
"NO!" Hina screamed.
The door of her shared room with Itsuka was slammed open by Tadasuke "Hina what's the matter?"
"I'm late I can't believe it!" the girl cried out as she held on to the alarm.
"Hina shut up" Itsuka mumbled as she turned in her bed.
"No I can't be late on the first day! You too It!" Hina countered.
Itsuka closed the pillow on her head "I'll ditch nothing important ever happens in the first day."
"But there are new students from Furnikan" Hina said as she was getting her uniform ready.
Itsuka dismissed with a wave sighing Hina hit the showers quickly and even took very small amounts of Mariko's cooking before hitting the streets.
(…)
On the streets
Another late student rushed through the streets barely taking time to catch his breath, he had small brown hair and matching brown eyes dressed in a blue school uniform "I can't believe I'm going to be late on the first day!" the boy cried out he was so caught up in his disarray that he tripped and was about to fall "No!" the boy cried out bringing his forearms up to cushion the fall but the fall never came.
Curious the boy turned around seeing he was being held by Miu who styled her long blonde hair in a ponytail dressed in the girl's version of the uniform with a pair of red glasses on.
"Are you alright?" the girl asked helping the boy up.
"Yeah thanks" the boy replied.
"Watch where your going next time" a male voice scolded being Naruto dressed in the same uniform.
"You're the last that should be saying that big bro" Moe muttered dressed similar to Miu.
"Would you guys shut it? We're going to be late" Mao Ran scolded also dressed in the girl's uniform.
"Thanks for reminding me see ya" the brown haired boy said as he ran off.
"Wait you forgot your book" Miu cried out holding a book about Martial arts making her curious.
"Well let's fly" Naruto suggested.
"Oh no we're normal students not super powered Martial artists" Ran affirmed.
"Well you can be late if you want but we'll be there earlier" Naruto pointed out as he along with his cousins disappeared in blurs, letting out a sigh Ran also disappeared in a blur after them.

Reinan high front yard
A large stage was prepared for the opening ceremony, the students filled the bleachers taking their seats waiting for the ceremony to begin.
"I made it" Hina cheered as she caught her breath and took a seat next to two girl's and two boys. The first girl had long black hair styled in a ponytail held by a white ribbon with two antennae's on the front and her eyes were blue.
The second girl was leaner and less voluptuous than her companion she had short white hair with a blue ribbon wrapped around the back of her hair and her eyes were lavender.
The first boy had purple short wet hair and matching purple eyes.
The second boy had messy short black hair and starry yellow cross eyes with green goggles wrapped around his head.
"So sleepy" the first girl muttered as she leaned on the shoulder of the first boy with a smile before being pulled back by the other girl "Stop it! what's your problem?"
"Don't go around sleeping on other people's shoulders in public" the white haired girl scolded.
"Nothing happened yet so let go" Nozomi argued.
The first boy chuckled "It's alright I'm used to it by now."
"Huh?" the white haired girl wondered.
"I'm Takumi Jin this guy next to me is my dizygotic twin brother Mori Jin and this lady is our friend since childhood Nozomi Kaminashi" the purple haired boy answered "You are?"
"Sayaka Miyata" the white haired girl answered.
Gohan dusted himself for a hundredth time seeing his reflection on the mirror "I think you look enough" a familiar voice spoke.
Turning around the half Saiyan hybrid saw a face he didn't see for years "Naruto?"
"Yep" Naruto answered as the two embraced and began speaking.
Secluded away from the crowd in a lone seat was the go to place for many loners one of which is Aster who scouted the place before him 'Another troublesome year is ahead of me.'
A feedback sounded silencing the students as a woman with long braided black hair black glasses with thick lenses that covered her eyes, dressed professionally in a black suit stood before them "May I have your attention dear students?"
"It's getting started" Mariam Al-Saleh told herself as she wore her scarf along with the uniform.
"This's it" Nabiki cheered whilst Ranma and Akane simply looked on.
"Get this over already so we can join clubs" Akari muttered as Subaru smiled next to her.
"Thank you all for attending on this fine day where we'll begin our journey forwards to a new future" the woman welcomed "I know many of you are nervous those who got transferred here and those with bad experiences from your past however this's a new beginning for you all of you. Now I'll leave you with our headmaster Ryoma Saito."
The staff clapped as a giant muscular man's frame came into scene the man coughed "Thank you Ms. Yuhi" the man thanked his voice showing gratefulness as the woman giggled with a blush "My dear students it is of my absolute pleasure and honor to bring forth the next generation that'll carry this nation in our steed for it is your responsibility and our own to get you ready for it, no matter where anyone is they all contribute to something that makes a nation stand on its two feet's with pride keeping the streets clean are the scavenger, those who keep the crimes off the streets are the cops, getting us updated on what new are the anchor men and women, those who feed us and provide us with our day to day groceries are shopkeepers, those who save lives are doctors and many more, so never ever let anyone tell you what you are for you are as important as they are in keeping a powerful mighty structure going. I would also like to greet our guests from the now defuncted Furinkan high and I ask of you to treat them like fellow students here. With this out of the way please let us start a new year with excitement."
The headmaster finished with a dramatic salute getting some students fired up the headmaster face comes into view showing long brown hair, blue eyes and an X shaped scar on his forehead being none-other than Tiger den's most reasonable and less brutish member Hyoh.

*The late tonight show with PJ Black*
"Thank god there's still more interviews for a second I thought I was going to take a back seat for a couple of gags" Chibi PJ said blissfully.
"Bos we're live" a cameraman whispered.
Realizing his dilemma the Chibi version of the backstage interviewer coughed before looking at the readers "Hello there our beloved readers welcome to a whole new interview of the late tonight show with PJ Black I'm your host PJ Black" Chibi PJ welcomed "Before we begin we take into consideration that this chapter may not have sat well with many of you out there who were hoping to see some Wrestling stuff, but the author asks of you to pay attention to this school stuff he's planning to make and has been saving for a long time. As for the characters: Mariam and Mashaal are oc's who were mentioned by name in chapter 35 and make their official debut here. Hina, Itsuka and Tadasuke from Welcome to El-Palacio. Miu and the brown haired boy whom name is Kenichi are from Kenichi the mightiest discipline. Moe from Wanna be the strongest in the world. Mao Ran from Fighting beauty Wulong. Gohan from Dragon Ball. Nozomi Kaminashi and Sayaka Miyata from Keijo. Takumi Jin is an oc by the author who'll play a main part in his Keijo fic whilst his dizygotic twin brother Mori Jin is from God of highschool. Aster is also an oc and well the Ninjas are from Dead or alive the one Aster saved is Kasumi. Akari and Subaru are oc's who'll play a main part in his Keijo fic. The author also apologizes to Foxboy 614 for forgetting to credit them with Satoru from chapter 44 being his oc we apologize please accept our apology, lastly on that note Mabuchi another character introduced there is an oc by the author the brother of Tortoise Tina."
Chibi PJ drank a huge glass of water before looking at the viewers "Now let's start this interview our guest tonight is the behemoth woman of GWM Queen Elizabeth."
The soundtrack of cheering and clapping played as a Chibi version of Queen Elizabeth came in still huge compared to other Chibi's, she took her seat after one last flex before looking at Chibi PJ "Well about time I got here since those Candy pair girls and Springer got their interviews."
"Um they were just two chapters before yours Miss" Chibi PJ pointed out "Same rules apply standard questions followed by personnel ones asked primarily by Epiclot 214, ready?"
Chibi Elizabeth smirked as she flexed her arm "Shoot!"
"How long have you been Wrestling?"
"16 years at best."
"Do you have any dream opponents?"
"Hmph not really I just want to kick ass and look strong while doing it."
"What's the toughest match you had so far?"
Chibi Elizabeth snorted with a twisted face of anger "I had no tough matches in my life I only fallen to flukes by that girl Mint as I didn't take her seriously thinking she's as weak as before and that other fluke to Daisy Cry but I'll be sure to pay them back handsomely next time I face them."
"What fun activities are you into?"
"Talking with my fellow good Wrestlers how good we are and talking down weaklings."
"What do you think makes a good Wrestler?"
Chibi Elizabeth looked at Chibi PJ with confusion before bursting out in laughter "That's a nice joke."
"um it isn't a joke, it's a legitimate question."
"Fine you either have it like I do or you don't like that weakling Dawn."
"What are your hobbies?"
"Lifting weights and having a tussle with my good fellow Wrestlers."
"Alright we reached Epiclot's portion of personnel questions, first How was your time in GWM?"
"It was the best time ever I was on top, I squashed many weaklings and found really strong women to tussle with like Payne who became a good friend of mine."
"What was your life like at the Queen Bee gym?"
Chibi Elizabeth snarled as she sighed loudly "It was awful the Harper's are like we're all a family and shit, Hornet thankfully was smarter than both of her parents I bet you she took all the smart genes that skipped her parents generation. Then we got Fiona away from Lyra a good memory seeing how furious that fool was and we were joined by Maria Crawford picking on our favourite punching bag Dull 'N Broken. Aside from these my time there was awful to the point me, Hornet and Fiona looked everywhere and couldn't wait to leave, last I heard from them they were closed down serves them right."
"When did you start gaining muscles?"
"In freshmen seventh grade rather I pursued Wrestling because of it."
"How do you feel about Queen Bee's progress and her battle against Hardkor?"
"Progress?" Chibi Elizabeth spat laughing "Please PJ she barely beaten their jobber I bet you the next Hardkor Wrestler will break her skeleton ten times over before she finally quits and crippled for life if she's lucky and dead if she's not."
"Do you keep in contact with your allies at the Queen Bee gym?"
"Yeah I only have three Hornet, Maria Crawford and Fiona Fangs I don't need more than these girls from that weak gym."
"Why did you leave along with Beatrice Harper?"
"Like I said it was a weak gym and our talents were being wasted there not to mention we were not being paid figures worthy of our status like we are now."
"Alright thanks for your time Queen Elizabeth" Chibi PJ turned to the readers "The next chapter will go further in the structure of how the author incorporates the school into the plot while also going back to Girmov to announce the match card. Thanks for reading and have a nice day."
