Unfortunate Hero's Retirement Life

Martial Clash, a tournament sponsored by the Hero League to encourage the Martial House to nurture and teach people who wanted to be a hero. Martial Clash was a tournament established by the new Hero League.

This was the fourth year since its establishment, and it was received well by the non-affiliated martial house since the tournament offered a reward that could not be refused for the fighter.

Martial Clash was divided into two sections, Junior Martial Clash, and Advanced Martial Clash. The section was divided based on the age of the participant. For Junior Martial Clash, the participants had to be fifteen or below while Advanced Martial Clash had to be at least sixteen and below twenty-one.

The fourth Martial Clash offered a total prize pool money in a total of one billion world dollars. Of course, the prize was divided into two sections, a hundred million world dollars for Junior Martial Clash and nine hundred dollars for Advanced Martial Clash.

On top of the money, the champion would be offered a special prize. For the champion of Advanced Martial Clash, for example, you will be offered to join a trial of SES, a chance to join SES that never opened recruitment for the public. Specter Extermination Squad always chose their members discreetly. If you want to join, then you have to perform well as a hero or become the champion of Advanced Martial Clash.

It was an open secret that SES taught its members a more powerful technique than what was available in the Hero League. It was the heroes' dream to join SES despite the danger of facing specter.

As for the Junior Martial Clash, the champion would be offered to join Hero Academy. It was an academy established to nurture a young hero. One had to pass a strict evaluation for them to enter the academy and each year, the academy only accepted fifty people. Fifty percent of graduates would be picked into SES, it was the junior dream to enter the Hero Academy.

Even though the knowledge should be shared with everyone, Bai Shuang Er would never share it without any competition between the young or it would cause them to slack if they easily acquired the Ki Comprehension hence the strict evaluation was applied to enter the academy.

This was the fourth year of Martial Clash, and today, was the grand final match for Junior Martial Clash. The match system for Martial Clash was not an individual match, it was a group match where a Martial House sent a group of five to fight against the other Martial House's team with the best of three rules. The team who got three points would be a winner but for the Grand Final, it was the Last Man Standing rule.

The team would send their member to the stage and the team who got their members eliminated would lose.

Hero Dome

A special occasion so a special arena as well. After the reign of The Second President, she erased the hierarchy about the core, inner, commercial, and outer region. Everyone could go anywhere and live everywhere without needing a special status such as a hero.

As long as you have enough money, you could move into the core region. Status did not matter anymore since the floating castle had now become the dream of people to live with.

Of course, the policy was received well by the normal civilian while people who thought they were born as noble resisted. Unfortunate for these people, Bai Shuang Er would dig their crimes to the bottom and put them in their place. By then the resistance died down instantly and unwillingly accepted the policy.

Now the Dome Hero was filled and crowded with massive spectators. Even though it was just a Junior Martial Clash, people still came in a big wave to watch. Heero Academy vs Orion Martial House, the grand final of the Junior Martial Clash.

The reason the three hundred thousand Dome Hero filled with a massive crowd was the Heero Academy. Heero Academy and Hero Academy were two different institutes, while the former was established by the First President and the latter fully sponsored by the Hero League. The rumors said the First President did not allow the Hero League to meddle in his academy hence the Hero Academy established.

Orion Martial House, an institute established by The Musashi Clan, The Kim Family, and The Wu Family. Three giant forces agreed to establish Orion Martial House that would rival the Heero Academy. This was the three consecutive years of the two institute's rivalry with the record three to zero, The Heero Academy crushed The Orion Martial House thoroughly.

On the Heero Academy's bench, Xing Heero was sitting casually with his hand on the edge, looking at his daughter preparing herself for the fight. Yes, the current generation was under his daughter's lead, Miao Miao, Lan Lan, Myung-Hee, Meng Meng, and Tong Tong.

These five childhood friends were the ones representing The Heero Academy for this year's Junior Martial Clash. The group of five maintained their academy's unbeaten record in Junior Martial Clash despite being ten.

"What are they doing, Dada?" On his lap, Xing Zixin pointed his tiny index finger toward her sister, "They are warming up to beat the bad boys," Heero replied in a whisper.

"Bad boys?" Xing Zixin looked up to his father. He did not understand what it meant so he asked, "Yes, bad boys. They want to beat your sister," Heero pointed toward the opposite bench where The Orion Martial House.

"What?" Xing Zixin followed his father's finger and saw the team member of The Orion Martial House.

"Don't listen to your Daddy's nonsense, they are not bad boys but your sister's opponent in the tournament," Han Ying immediately chimed in as she pulled Heero's ear, "Stop teaching him something weird," she rebuked her husband as she took her son onto her lap instead.

"If they will fight Sister Miao Miao then they are bad people," the three years old Xing Zixin muttered in a low voice. Han Ying heard what her son muttered and immediately lectured him, explaining to him about the tournament things. Of course, none of those entered Xing Zixin's mind as his eyes let out a glinting light as he thought of something.

Bai Xin Yue followed Han Ying to rebuke her husband, "You should stop teaching something weird to Zixin, he's still too young…"

Kang Seo-Yeon and Hong Yu merely chuckled at their husband's mischievous behavior. It was a daily routine where Bai Xin Yur and Han Ying would scold him for teaching something weird to Zixin.

While the family was having a happy conversation, the grand final started. As usual, Miao Miao came up to the stage first, she would always go first every match. Her opponent was Wu Jinhai, the descendant of The Wu Family.

He was Wu Shitian's great-grandson, thirteen years old, and was quite famous in the circle as a prodigy. However, there was a deep scar in his heart, unpleasant memories that would always haunt the boy in the last two years.

"Where's your Sister! I will beat her ass, where is she running?" Wu Jinhai bristled toward younger Miao Miao. His voice was loud enough as everyone in the Dome Hero heard his words.

The sister in his mouth was Moira, Heero's adopted daughter. The beforehand mutant girl that was detested by the masses and now had become the respected girl in the circle. The girl dominated the Junior Martial Clash in the last three years and the Prodigy Wu Jinhai was one of many of her victims. This year, Wu Jinhai determined to have his revenge, but Moira was sixteen this year, and she was currently taking the Hero Assessment.

Miao Miao tied her hair into a ponytail with The Heero Academy's martial clothes. She smirked at the boy, "There's no need for Sister Moira, I will kick your sorry ass," the girl boldly remarked.

"Yes! Kick his sorry ass, Sister!" From the bench, Xing Zixin cheered for his sister from her mother's lap. He clenched his fist and waved it toward the stage.

"Ah, right! If I beat you until you can't get up, your sister may come!" Wu Jinhai did not bother to hide his crazy idea. Everyone in the Dome Hero heard that, but Miao Miao maintained her composure.

Meanwhile, the referee walked up to the arena, he motioned to the two participants whether they were ready or not. Miao Miao nodded and Wu Jinhai nodded as well.

"Start!" The moment the referee announced that a small shadow leaped toward the arena. The small shadow ran toward Wu Jinhai while running Xing Zixin's body was swaying right and left, but he still managed to reach Wu Jinhai, "Do you want to beat my sister? I will beat you!" Kang Zixin yelled at Wu Jinhai as he kicked the latter's shin.

Wu Jinhai looked at the smoll boy and looked at the toddler weirdly. He felt nothing from the kick, but then the three years Xing Zixin smiled evilly. He raised his right foot upward, attacking Wu Jinhai's crotch with his kick.

"Urghhh!", the moment the kick landed, Wu Jinhai's face turned purple. The kick on his shin was nothing, but it was a completely different matter when the kick hit his crotch. Wu Jinhai fell on his knees as he cast an unbelievable look at the toddler who smiled triumphantly at him.

In the next second, Heero appeared next to Xing Zixin and picked him up, "I am sorry to interrupt the match, I am sorry," he apologized to the referee as the latter flattered and kept waving his hand, indicating it was okay.

"Eat that, Bad Boy! You are messing with the wrong sister!" Did not feel guilty for what he did, Xing Zixin remarked proudly for taking down the bad boy in one kick.

Of course, with or without Xing Zixin's aid, The Heero Academy still crushed The Orion Martial House with five to zero. Creating a record where the Heero Academy won the Junior Martial Clash in four consecutive years.
