Buddyfight Ace, Path To Liberation

Path To Liberation, Oceans Of Justice (Chap 49)

Synopsis: Hou Ren has invited three new recruits to join them. Particularly, the three recruits share some similar traits...

Spoiler Alert: The new cards skill's are really hard to develop, that's why the story is so long to write....Sorry Guys

In the previous story, Hou Ren speaks to his ex teacher in her cell. The latter was incredibly displeased but in the end, he received information. Then, he was confronted by the Ace of Study. Despite the giant argument, Hou wins the fight with ease and makes things right.

Anime Opening: Black & White.

The Sun shines bright alongside the glorious blue sky. It's currently in the afternoon at a seaside. The wind moves along with the ocean as the ocean roars loud. A dark knight stands on a hill of stones. Looking at the sea with his heart full of determination. His hair and clothes moves along with the wind. In his thoughts, he remembers a recent event his brother did...

Lost Ren: Confronting the Vixen to find more answers...you're an odd one, Hou. (Thought) Even though I was created via the Mirage Crystal, I know he's one of a kind. 

A flashback sequence was played displaying Hou when he was 12 years old as he progress as a buddyfighter.

Lost Ren: When he was 12, he was happy-go-lucky. Day by day, his skill continues to progress. Overcoming opponents one by one. Eventually, he was strong enough to defeat even the greatest of villains and thus scouted by Guru when he reached 15.

As the flashback ends...

Lost Ren: But as he shines, his shadow becomes large. Thus, his friends starts being in his shadow and consumed by jealousy and hate. And then even him. Thus, I was born.

???: What are you doing?

Lost Ren hears a voice and looks to see Sensei Ren behind him.

Lost Ren: What do you want?

Sensei: I was just passing by. What's on your mind?

Lost Ren: Not that it's your concern.

Sensei: You sure are stubborn.

Lost Ren: You're one to talk. Isn't it impolite to sneak up on people? 

Sensei: In my defense, I was five feet away. Plus, I just walked in and I called you, did I not?

Lost Ren: Whatever. If you must know, I was just looking back at how HE has grown.

Sensei: Hou huh? When you think about it, he's not the leader of the knights for nothing. But despite that status, people see him as a pariah. 

Lost Ren: Still, he never stops doing what is right. He turned what was supposed to be endless hate to a miraculous love. 

Sensei: From a novice to a champion. Unwavering as ever. But deep inside, he is broken the moment he lost the ones who's closest to him besides us. Luckily, Shiloh was there. Comforting him.

Lost Ren: And I'm surprised Hou takes the mantle of teaching her about the game. He takes after his masters. Guiding a promising student.

Sensei: Yeah but, he completely changed hasn't he? When Daryl and his friends arrive I mean. I can't blame him. I can feel his hate for them back then. 

Lost Ren: They sure are idiots I give them that. But Ranma triumphed over him and thus, they become friends again. Life was once again normal or so we thought. He & Shiloh broke up thanks to that low life cretin.

Sensei: Then there's the Gaen Cup. And you and Hou awakened your God Forms. Hou interrogated Shafi didn't he? I saw him snuck out last night.

Lost Ren: Ya think? Still...it's not enough. Rouga is off investigating alone. Hou & Shiloh are facing opponents. Agent & Light are assisting Commissioner with other missions.
