Rihaku
>Truly impressive
Sensei
>Oh... It's you.
>Lord Rihaku, did you came here for something?
Rihaku
>No reason in particular, just passing through.
>By the way, is that child...the one you called Hyui?
>It's terrifying that a child like him could could control the winds.
>The ability to destroy your opponent without touching him...
>The tradition of Fujinken, the Fist of the Benevolent Wind, seems to be safe in his hands...

Sensei
>Indeed... With such talents he could perhaps surpass all the previous Fujinken masters.
>Perhaps he could even rival the Roku Seiken, the six master Nanto branches.
>It's such a pity that the other students are afraid of him because of his talents.
>Because of that he's alone without any friends or equal peers.
>If this goes on, his wind will never surpass the great wall.
>You cannot learn the secrets of this style if you don't have anyone to protect.

Rihaku
>I wonder if there's something we could do about that
Sensei
>?

Rihaku
>Perhaps he will find his path with the guidance of his star.
Sensei
>...There's nothing more that I would like to wish.
>If you're not in a hurry to leave, perhaps you could spend the night here.

Guard 1
>The strongest guy?
>Did you hear that? Hah hah hah hah. It seems this boy doesn't know who's he's talking to.
Guard 2
>Go home if you don't want to get hurt.
Friend
>I knew this was a bad idea, Shuren. If our instructor finds out, he'll expel us.
Shuren
>It's only a problem if you lose.
Guard 1
>I guess I have to ask you the hard way then.
Shuren
>I'll take on both of you at the same time.

Sensei

Shuren
>Fujinken... Such an awesome name for a lousy countryside school.
>Don't tell me these bums were the best your school has to offer.
>Who is this kid?

Guard
>H-Hyui...

Shuren
>"Hyui" is it? Could he be the best student this school offers. I don't think so.

Shuren's friend
>Let's go home already!

Shuren
>Might as well leave... There's nothing to do here anyway.
Hyui
>Wait!
Sensei
>Lord Rihaku...
Rihaku
>It's alright with you, is it? That boy is Shuren, a student of the Enrinken school, the Fist of Flaming Phosphorous. He's pretty close to Hyui's age.
>Perhaps he's the rival that Hyui desperately needed.
Sensei
>Then that means that child was destined to come here.
Rihaku
>I wonder about that.
>I, Rihaku, feel that these two have potential to destroy a great ominous star in the future.

Hyui
>Twuit
Sensei
>Hyui, why are you holding back? Why haven't you used your Fujinken techniques?
Hyui
>I won't waste my secret techniques on someone like him.
Shuren
>This has been a good workout, but I'm here to win!
>No more holding back now!
>HAAAH!

Shuren's friend
>That stance... It's an Enrinken technique!
>Don't push yourself, Shuren!

Hyui
>HAH!

Shuren
>You might have already noticed it but...
>I covered your body with phosphorus during our last exchange of blows.

Rihaku

>When he went on the assault, didn't you take a half step back?

Shuren
>Tit... He was a worthy adversary indeed.
>Well... This was a good exercise.

That was a bitterly ironic ending (then again, the last few ones ended very similarly). Only three more to go. Next time will be Fudoh's origin story.
