Saisho No Kasai

Jonathan fiercely charges at Jack, plunging his golden blade deep into his opponent's chest. With his other arm, he immobilizes Jack's shoulder, roaring in determination. Jack, realizing the gravity of the situation, struggles and fights tirelessly to free himself. Knowing that continuing there would be fatal, he screams in rage at Jonathan, spitting blood in the process.

Jack's thoughts: This is terrible! How did I let myself get into this situation? I need to get out of here before it's too late!

Jonathan's thoughts: Just a little longer and you'll pay for everything you've done!

Jonathan is a 29-year-old man, 1.90 meters tall.

9 days before the opening scene...

Jonathan was walking through the busy streets of the kingdom he lived in, one of the five kingdoms of the world, the Kingdom of Arcis-Mundi, which is the largest of the five medieval kingdoms, saying hello and greeting everyone he met, he always had a calm smile on his face. He arrives at a meat shop and orders some. After paying, he says goodbye to the girl and continues on his way to his own house. However, halfway there, his best friend approaches him.

Matheus is a 30-year-old man, 1.85m tall.

Matheus: Good afternoon Jonathan {waves hello with his hand}

Jonathan: Good afternoon Matheus, what's up?

Matheus: The king has scheduled an audience with you, it looks a lot like another one of the scoldings he always gives you for some huge mistake you make in some of the missions he gives you {rolls his eyes and crosses his arms}

Jonathan: Oh my... Another scolding, I've even lost count of how many times, fortunately, he doesn't mean it badly {laughs lightly}

Matheus: But it seems like there's something else, he requested this audience more urgently, I think he should announce something and want your opin ion {strokes his chin}

Jonathan: He really is in a hurry, huh? Normally, he only schedules things for a month or more away.

Matheus: Anyway, I'm going now, one of these days I'll visit you at your house, I want to see Julian's progress.

Jonathan: That boy... He really has my blood, he's going to be as strong as me! {says excitedly}

Matheus: I don't doubt it. {shrugs} If he really is your son, he'll surpass me soon.

Jonathan: {laughs lightly} Don't put yourself down so much, just because you're in second place doesn't mean you're that bad.

Matheus: {smiles weakly} It's not that I'm putting myself down, there's a considerable difference in strength between you and me, I wouldn't have much of a chance of beating you. Anyway, I really have to go.

Jonathan: Okay! See you later, you can come visit us someday!

Jonathan and Matheus shake hands, after which Matheus starts to go his own way, Jonathan does the same and soon arrives home, he opens the door, goes in and watches the family maid sweeping.

Joana is a 14-year-old girl, 1.50m tall.

Joana: Good afternoon Mr. Jonathan {bows in respect and then goes back to sweeping}

Jonathan: Good afternoon Joana, is Jenny in the kitchen yet?

Joana: Yes, she said you were taking too long and decided to start preparing lunch

Jonathan: {laughs nervously} It's just that I met Matheus on the way, we had a nice chat

Jonathan goes to the kitchen and Jenny notices him quickly.

(https://drive.google.com/file/d/1BRDmr9cPyBVXDtAWq02mvD4pPa2nQ5km/view?usp=drivesdk)

Jenny is a 28-year-old woman, 1.75m tall.

Jenny: Look! The late guy finally arrived! Huh? What were you doing, huh? {she says, feigning dissatisfaction, just acting playfully}

Jonathan: Let's see... Honey, I just ran into a friend of mine on the way {laughs lightly}

Jenny: Yeah... I know, anyway, let's go! Get that meat out of there because I have to make this lunch for yesterday!

Jonathan: Okay, okay {takes the meat out of the bag and hands it to Jenny}

Jonathan leaves the kitchen and goes to the training field in his house, where he finds Julian all dressed up, as he walked to a wall and picked up a wooden katana.

Jonathan: Excited for training, huh? Son!

Julian: Oh! {he gets excited, because until Jonathan spoke he hadn't noticed his father} Dad! You're back! Finally, huh, I thought I wasn't going to train today

Jonathan: Well, you're going to train! I got here in time! {he says happily as he picks up a wooden katana and positions himself} ready?

Julian: Of course! {he raises his katana and gets into position}

Julian pays attention and then advances against Jonathan, who starts to block the blows, one after the other, until the moment comes when he retaliates, Julian finds it very difficult to defend, but withstands a few blows before giving in, after Julian falls to the mat, Jonathan claps his hands.

Jonathan's thoughts: this boy really has a future, he evolves too fast!

Jonathan: Congratulations, son! You took three more hits than last time. First, I've told you a few times not to waste too much energy on the initial hits. Besides, I think that for now, what you really need is a stronger physique, which you'll develop as you train.

Julian: That's great to know. For now, my goal is to defeat Matheus!

Jonathan: {laughs lightly} Matheus being defeated by an 8-year-old is kind of humiliating.

Jonathan and Julian laugh softly together and go back to training for a while, until Jenny calls them. The two promptly go to the living room, where they find Jenny finishing serving lunch. Joana comes in, everyone sits at the table and starts eating.

Jonathan: By the way, I was late arriving because I met with Matheus, he told me that the king wants an audience with me, according to him it's because of a failure I made in some recent mission, but besides that, according to him, it seems that there will be something important in this audience.

Jenny: Really? He always sends you difficult things, Julian, but that kind of makes sense, doesn't it? Dad is the strongest man in the world!

Joana: You like to mention that, don't you? Mr. Julian

Jonathan: You're proud of your father's title, aren't you? By the way, Matheus said he'll come visit any day now

Julian: Really? How wonderful! {raises his hands}

Jonathan: I know! When he comes, we'll hunt some creatures in the Disorder Forest, I think you can go there now, it's the highest level forest among the explorable ones, remember?

Julian: Of course, I'm getting to that point... I feel accomplished!

Joana: Are you sure he can go now, Mr. Jonathan?

Jonathan: Of course! Let's see, I think he might have some difficulties, but I'll be accompanying him, so everything will be fine.

The family and the maid talk for a while longer, then, Joana takes all the dirty cutlery, plates and glasses and takes them to the sink, starting to wash them, while Jenny approaches Julian.

Jenny: you know son, something that little men like you should know is how to do simple tasks, like the ones Joana does, you know, you won't always have her at your disposal

Julian: are you asking me to clean my room?

Jenny: uh... Not exactly, uh... Yes

Julian: oh my... Is this a mission?

Jenny: what? No... I mean... Maybe, can you consider it that?

Julian: and what do I get in return? Jewelry?

Jenny: do you want jewelry for cleaning your room?

Julian: I mean, not exactly jewelry, but something, right?

Jenny: what do you think cleaning your room is worth?

Julian: I don't know, I've never done it, so I don't know how difficult this mission is

Jenny: difficulty? Let's see... Wait! You're leading me on, you little rascal... Have you started to adopt your father's habits?! {starts to run after Julian}

Julian: {starts to laugh as he runs away from Jenny} oh no! I thought I could lead you on for longer!

Jonathan: {crosses his arms as he watches the chase} this boy... He might actually end up like me in the future

Joana: {approaches Jonathan} this is something to be expected, after all, he is your blood son

Jonathan: yeah... I'm dying to see this boy grow up

Joana: this is a common thought among parents, seeing their children grow up is really often something very rewarding

Jonathan: you're being very... Thoughtful, how old are you again?

Joana: I'm 14, Mr. Jonathan

Later that day, Julian is playing catch, throwing a ball as high as he can, until his father comes into the yard.

Jonathan: You're addicted to this little ball, huh? {laughs lightly}

Julian: It's just that there are so many possibilities, I can do so many different games with this simple... Sphere

Jonathan: Finally! Your mother said that now we have to go buy your teaching materials

Julian: {jumps with joy} Seriously? Finally!

Jonathan smiles as he sees Julian happily running to get ready. After everyone gets ready, the four of them leave, Joana chooses clothes with Jenny, while Jonathan accompanies Julian's shopping for his materials.
