Martial Arts System

In the Coldland.

In a certain hospital room, a young man with black hair was sleeping with wires sticking out of his body.

The only way he could breathe was with the help of the breathing machine.

On top of the small desk next to the hospital bed was a vase filled with flowers.

Soon, the door to the hospital room was opened, and three figures entered.

The first figure was wearing a coat that doctors usually wear. He had his hands in his pockets as he stopped next to the hospital bed and looked towards a machine, which showed the young man's life signals.

Two other figures looked somewhat similar; it was evident that they were a mother and daughter.

Alena's face had signs of fatigue, which made her look similar when she was still bedridden because of the terrible illness.

Looking at her son, a pained look appeared on her face.

Azura's eyes looked almost void of any life, her previously beautiful blue eyes were dimmed by a great deal, and she wasn't wearing anything fancy, instead of a baggy sweatshirt with a hood and sweatpants.

Her hair was also messier than before, her previous beautiful black hair long gone, replaced by messy and untidy one.

When he saw them, the doctor was shocked and was able to guess what kind of lives they were having currently.

Only leaving the house took them an hour because of the number of reporters, who are now gathered around the hospital instead.

That was one of the reasons both of them were exhausted, but also sleeping was very difficult for both of them.

''How is he..?'' Alena asked with a tired tone, but there was a tinge of concern that was hard to discern under her exhaustion.

Azura had a tinge of worry in her eyes and wanted her brother to be okay.

''He is…'' The doctor didn't know how to say this but had to say it, ''In bad shape.''

Alena's face almost aged by another ten years, ''W-What do you mean?''

''I am not sure what they did to him, but…'' The doctor looked at the machine, ''Life signals are fine, but something inside his brain is not right.''

''Can't you find out what is wrong?'' Alena asked.

The doctor shook his head, ''It's something mental-related.'' He felt as frustrated as Alena because he couldn't do his work properly, ''It must be Power Trait related; they are something that we, doctors are powerless against.''

He patted Alena's shoulder and said, ''I am sorry, but Aether needs a miracle if he wants to wake up one day and if he does… He might not be the same.'' He left the hospital room after those words.

Alena sat down next to the hospital bed and touched Aether's fragile hand.

Azura kept standing, without much emotion seen on her face.

Even after his mother touched his hand, no reaction was seen on Aether's face.

They stayed silently in their positions for 10 minutes until they were disturbed.

*Bam!*

The door was opened with a slam, and two men with black suits and sunglasses appeared rudely.

Alena frowned and asked, ''What is the meaning of this?''

Azura didn't move even an inch like she didn't hear the two figures appearing.

''We are from Government, my name is Li, and he is Lo.'' The man with a black suit, black hair, and sunglasses said instantly.

The man next to him, named Lo, looked exactly similar, without any differences in their looks.

''What do you want?'' Alena asked with venom in her tone.

''We have questions from Aether; please stand aside,'' Li said coldly.

''He is in a coma!'' Alena screamed, ''How the hell can he answer anything?!''

''Hmph, he isn't in a coma.'' Li pushed Azura to the side, who almost fell on her butt, but barely kept standing.

''What are you doing?!'' Alena screamed and looked towards Azura, who didn't have any reaction.

Her face looked even more pained after Azura didn't seem to have any care about her wellbeing.

Li appeared next to the hospital bed and raised his hand.

''What are you do—'' Alena's words were cut off as her eyes widened into shock.

*SMACK!*

Li ruthlessly slapped Aether's cheek, which caused a large red handprint to appear on his cheek.

''What are you doing?!'' Alena grabbed Li's arm and tried to push him away, but it was useless with her nonexistent strength.

''Get off me, this is Government business!'' Li shook his hand, which sent Alena flying towards the nearby wall.

*BAM!*

Her body crashed on the wall and landed painfully on the floor.

Azura's eyes finally reacted.

*SMACK!*

''Wake up!'' Li screamed, and another slap landed on Aether's cheek.

Lo's face didn't have any reaction; it was like he was a doll who had no emotions.

''Tsk, bastard.'' Li raised his hand and was about to slap one more time, but soon his hand was caught by a soft and frail-looking hand.

''Eh?'' Li turned his head and came to face to face with a young woman with cold-looking eyes.

''Hands off me, bitch!'' He screamed and tried to shake her hand off, but it wasn't as easy as expected.

He randomly moved his hand, but Azura was still grabbing his arm with cold eyes; no emotion was visible on her face.

Lo narrowed his eyes and stepped forward, ''Li, stop fooling around.''

''Grrr!'' Li raised his left arm and was about to send another slap, but this time at Azura.

''Iron Style…'' She muttered quietly, which Li and Lo weren't able to hear.

Li and Lo frowned and perked up their ears, wondering what she was muttering.

''Smash…'' She reeled in her first and surprisingly punched!

Li didn't expect to get attacked but felt angry and wanted to teach her a lesson she would never forget.

He put his hand as a block and expected to be able to block with relative ease.

*BAM!*

Li's arrogant look soon turned into shock, until it was blown out panic!

*CRACK!*

Azura's frail and tiny fist did something that seemed impossible. Her fist effortlessly broke past Li's block and broke his arm.

The fist also kept going and struck Li in the chest, making him cough mouthful of blood.

''UGH!'' He grabbed his chest and kept coughing mouthfuls of blood.

''Li!'' Lo screamed with shock and angrily glared at Azura, who did something that made him pale considerably.

*CRACK!*

Azura used her leg and slammed her feet between Li's legs.

Her leg struck the area between the groin, and a loud cracking sound appeared before blood started flowing.

''AARGGGGGGGGGH!'' Li screamed with hoarse sound and fell on the ground with his hands trying to stop the bleeding, but tears kept streaming down from his eyes as he knew what she did.

His manhood was… Destroyed!

Alena, who saw the scene, wryly smiled, 'Ichiro would be proud…'
