Chapter 5: The Birth of a Combat Genius



An Unconventional Beginning

From his birth, Orion was exceptional by all measures. As the months passed, signs of unnatural intelligence began to appear, so much so that his parents and the servants in the mansion noticed that his awareness far exceeded his actual age. But it wasn't just early perception; it was something deeper... something closer to absolute genius.

At six months old, the moment that astonished everyone arrived. While his father and mother were sitting in the vast meeting hall of the mansion, discussing family matters with their advisors, a soft voice emerged from the corner of the room.

"Father... Mother..."

The hall fell completely silent.

Everyone looked towards the source of the voice, only to find the small infant, not even half a year old, speaking with unbelievable fluency. It wasn't just scattered words like any child his age, but a clear sentence, uttered with precise pronunciation and a steady voice. His mother stared at him in shock, while his father's advisor leaned forward, examining him with wide eyes.

"This... is impossible..."

But the impossible was reality.

It wasn't just his ability to speak; he soon displayed another extraordinary ability. Shortly after uttering his first words, he began his first attempts at walking. And although he stumbled at first, he managed to stand and walk with steady steps in a short period, as if his mind didn't need the time others required to learn this skill.

It was a development that surpassed all expectations. In just six months, he had exceeded the level of ordinary children by years.

Encounter with Martial Arts

As the days went by, the servants noticed that Orion didn't sleep as much as other children. He spent his time listening to the adults' conversations, analyzing their tones, and following everything with eyes full of awareness. But he didn't show exceptional interest in anything... until that night.

He was sitting in the entertainment hall, where various films were shown on advanced flying screens. And for the first time, a particular scene captured his attention.

It was a martial arts film, featuring a fierce battle between two expert fighters, using swift and precise movements. Orion didn't blink while watching, but analyzed every kick, every punch, every movement they made. And when the scene ended, he stood up without hesitation.

He tried to execute one of the kicks he had just seen.

It wasn't a failed attempt as the servants expected... it was close to perfect.

Everyone was astonished.

How could a child who could barely stand perform such a complex move with such precision?

But it didn't stop there. He became passionate, obsessed even. He began watching more martial arts films, trying to imitate every technique he saw, and it wasn't just blind imitation. He would modify the movements, analyze their weaknesses, and improve them to suit his small body.

Within six months, Orion was capable of executing techniques that required years of training to master.

Advanced Mind Technology

At the age of one and a half, the family realized that Orion's intelligence couldn't be left without proper guidance. Therefore, a decision was made to introduce the latest technological advancements into his life.

He was given an advanced artificial intelligence chip, implanted directly into his brain without the need for surgery. This chip wasn't just a means of communication, but more like a vast library of knowledge, interacting directly with his mental commands, and providing him with real-time information.

As soon as it was activated, Orion felt a flood of information in his mind. Suddenly, he was no longer just a child learning from films, but capable of studying martial arts theoretically from real sources, analyzing battle strategies, and even exploring information about the outside world, about different races, about governing systems, and about the rules that govern the entire universe.

This was like opening a door without limits for him.

Intensive Training: Personal Mentors

With his accelerated abilities, it became clear that he needed specialized guidance. Therefore, the family decided to appoint personal mentors for him, each specializing in a specific field.

The First Mentor:

He was responsible for providing him with academic knowledge. He taught him reading, writing, mathematics, and basic sciences. But he didn't stop there; he began teaching him about the history of the universe, the great powers, power systems, rare conditions like his, and how to behave as a member of one of the most powerful families in existence.

The Second Mentor:

He wasn't just a teacher, but an elite fighter, responsible for training him in combat. He was tasked with being Orion's training partner and ensuring that his fighting abilities weren't just imitation, but real skills that could be used on the battlefield.

And so, a new journey began.

The Unstoppable Genius

By his third year, Orion had exceeded all expectations.

He wasn't just an intelligent child, but a combat monster in the making. He had the ability to understand and analyze combat at a level that even seasoned warriors couldn't easily reach. His exceptional memory, his ability to learn, and his speed of information analysis made him more than just a prodigy.

He would wake up every morning to start his day with training, not because he was forced to, but because he wanted to.

The world wasn't ready to receive an heir with such power... but he wasn't in a hurry.

He was learning, developing, waiting for the moment he would reveal his true strength.

And that day was getting closer and closer...
