The World We Do Not Know 135 History

"Uh...." The kid in front of him pauses I'm a shock before continuing.

"It's Nicholas troop! Not nincomp.o.o.p oi Faust! How dare you?? You never call me with my real name" Nick short for Nicholas starts to whine and complain about how Faust never calls him with his real name.

Faust, who barely have friends at school is a calm and shy kid. When it comes to making friends for him, it takes weeks and months to even talk to the person sitting just beside him in cla.s.s. 

He doesn't like to involve in any of the quarrels that normal kids at his school usually do. So much for being a big dreamer at home, but a quiet and shy kid at school.

To emphasize more about how quiet of a kid Faust really is, he never cries. He does, but in a low and squeaky voice ever since he was a baby. It's a strange thing to ever witness. A child that doesn't even make a noise as an infant and cry out like any newborn child would.

And so, Faust ended up having only 3 friends in the whole school. And the way he made friends is also strange in different situations.

*Backstory of how Faust and Nick met*

Faust's ears perk up as he overhears a kid yelling too loudly from  behind, while he is having his lunch in a corner of the cafeteria's table seat.

"I'm a black belt in karate, I will just sweep the whole floor with you if you don't stop bullying other people" Nick is threatening  a bully who is throwing his fangs on a timid girl.

Nick couldn't stand the bully's behavior, he really wants to scare him and impress the girl at the same time. Before he can show off his heroic image, Nick is on the ground with bruises on several places of his body.

*"This bully never heard of the word 'mercy' or what?"* Nick thinks to himself as he moans in a squeaky voice.

This is the first time Faust notices Nick.

"What a weird kid" He mumbles under his breath, looking at Nick, who is a goner by now.

The next day, Faust is having his lunch again all by himself in his usual spot and again he heard the same kid from yesterday, who has started roaring, loud as a lion. And surprisingly, an adult voice too joins him.

Out of curiosity, Faust stands up from his spot to see what the commotion is about.

*"Ah it's that weird kid from yesterday"* Faust realizes while watching Nick. *"Bu-but wait"* he pauses before saying

*"Who is this big thug beside him?"* Faust wonders as he sees a huge guy standing beside Nick.

The adult next to Nick is his dad, who is one of the village's security. But he has really thick eyebrows and a scary face with a scar across his face which is given to him by a 'cat' not in a war or in some fight.

Which leaves an impression of him being a thug and makes the kids think he is truly a gangster. Where in reality he is a village guard.

The next thing Faust notices is Nick's father shouting and abusing the bully directly in his face. He is so enraged and riled up that his son got beaten up badly. And according to Nick's dad, if it is for his son, he is ready to pick a fight with anyone. 

At the same time the bully is scared to his wit and only thinking of running from that situation. But he got nowhere to go since he's pretty much being backed up against the wall like a prisoner.

"Wwait, he is not stopping with just the bully?" Faust is looking at more people getting yelled at by Nick's father.

"Who are the people trying to defend the bully? That must be his parents and this thug is yelling at them too??" Faust watches while his jaw's dropping, he tightly rolled up his fists in excitement.

"Whoa, here comes the teachers. This old dude will stop now tsk tsk"

But to Faust's surprise...

"He is still going and is shouting at teachers too??? Wow, AMAZINVVVV! this old dude is really amazinvvv!!"

Faust really wants to reach out to Nick's father and tell him how cool he is, yelling at everyone to defend his son, but he is too scared to do that as Nick's father continued to yell at everyone that is approaching him, he is really unstoppable.

But later on, he figures out a way to approach Nick's father and that is through Nick.

"Yo! You are so coollll" Faust stands in front of Nick with a goofy expression and giving thumbs up to Nick with admiration written all over his face.

Nick upon hearing this, is very happy, *"If not the girl admiring me, a guy admiring me for my coolness is not too bad" he thinks as he tries to smile, exposing his broken tooth.

*"I'm a dumb fool who got into this mess."* Nick, while dying internally pats on the shoulder of Faust saying " thanks for the compliment, want to eat together?." 

Faust who thought his plan is working agrees and the both of them started eating together from that day and Faust who became Nick's friend with a secret intention to learn how to be a Savage like Nick's father, now really thought of Nick as his real close friend as they continue to get closer as each day pa.s.ses by.

"Back to the present story"

"So p.o.o.p (referring to Nick), let's go to our base and discuss about how we deal with these monsters." Faust says with a bright smile on his face.

Faust, Nick and their two other friends love to play the hero's of the school with Faust being the best kickboxer, Nick the Karate Master, Roy(a n.o.ble's kid) being the s.p.a.ce hero and Tim the higher cla.s.s men and 2 years older than the three doesn't like to play any character. 

He stays a normal kid and cultivates his land and grows vegetables. And the monsters that Faust is referring to are the bullies of the school.

Faust and his friends are currently good at dealing with level 1, level 2 and level 3 rank monsters who are bullies from 1st, 2nd and 3rd grades in their school.

The kick boxing, karate and every other martial arts are ancient techniques in this modern world of 5062.

No one ever saw or heard of someone using these skills. However, there is a belief that very few people in this entire world can use ancient martial art techniques. But no one is allowed to teach or learn these fighting arts.

If anyone is seen using them in public, they are hunted and killed instantly by the government. And so the ancient martial arts nor the healing arts were pa.s.sed down through generations.

The only fighting arts used in this age is military arts. It involves the use of weapons that have special attributes and technology that does the impossible.

Faust and Nick are friends from the start. However, they met Roy and Tim during a brawl between the high schoolers and middle schoolers on one fine day.

*One fine day of spring*

The taunts between the middle schoolers and high schoolers grew intensely which lead to a huge brawl between both of them. Both sides are too angry and are just pus.h.i.+ng each other while yelling loudly enough to resonate around the whole school where every teacher and student can hear this ruckus, yet no one pa.s.sing by cares.

Because these particular students have been having a brawl from past three years and never once in three years they hit each other. All they do is cause a huge ruckus, raise some dust off the ground and disperse like a scripted fight on stages.

They only want the 10 minutes attention and want people to realise that these are the hard boiled bad guys in the school. But the reality is that no other students or teachers are willing to spare their time to stop the fights and resolve the issues

Yet, there are four kids who watches the brawl between these two mobs from the school balcony, standing next to each other and with excitement filled in their faces and the happiness they faced when they saw the high schoolers running away from the fight because the middle schoolers overcame them with numbers which happens every time.

The eyes of these four met each other, where Nick starts talking.

"So you guys came here to have a fight with us or what?" Nick, with an arrogance filled voice asks Roy and Tim who he has just met.

"We're just here to watch the brawl" Roy and Tim answers at the same time with surprised faces as they didn't want to start any trouble.

"So you guys came here just like us? To watch and learn? asks Nick.

"Indeed" Roy and Tim replies by nodding their heads.

With just that, the four of them starts talking and their conversation led to one thing and another. They even get to know about how all four of them shared the same interests and goals with each other and became closest friends to one another.

Faust, Nick, Roy and Tim all have the same kind of thinking. That it is so cool when you fight a higher cla.s.s men, win and make them run with their tails between their legs.

They hoped that one day after they beat the air out of the high schoolers, they gain popularity, all the people in school will fear them, rush to come see them and bow down to them respectfully as they walk in the middle of a corridor, where people from two groups and crest a path for them to walk through.

To make their dream come true, they had always hung out together making several plans to beat the high schoolers. And suddenly, the auspicious day of their first fight arrives, they were prepared to go all out.

Nick came running to Faust wearing a severe expression on his face. He came and grabbed the wrist of Faust "Faust! we gotta go, come with me!" Nick yells out at  Faust while breathing panting for breath.

"What happened Nicko! Chill and learn to enjoy the life yo!" Faust says casually while sleeping on the floor and reading a comic, without even taking a  glance at the exhausted Nick.

"Just come, will you! Jerk!" Nick pulls Faust like a little kid by force, smacks his head to make him sit on his bicycle and drives off as Roy and Tim join them along the way on their own bikes.

"So are you really telling us the truth?" Roy asks Nick with an intense look on his face.

"Of course! He really is arrogant, fearless and most of all hailed as the strongest in his grade. Picking fights with everyone without ever losing a fight. We need to let him have a taste of his first loss."  Nick declares with an evil grin.

"If he is as arrogant and strong as you say he is, then we definitely need to take him down," Roy says as excitement erects inside him. He strongly feels that the bully needs to know his place and it's a nice opportunity to establish the power of these four among the school by taking down this bully.

On the other hand, Faust doesn't really get what is happening, but he can see that they are going to have a fight and he is dead scared to go into his first fight. He soon realises that his limbs are not in his authority anymore, he is quivering in fear and his heart is beating fast faster than ever, almost as his whole chest is throbbing without rest.

He feels like a coward for cowering, he wanted to make up his mind for his first-ever fight. He takes a glimpse at his friends to see if he is the only one feeling uneasy. What he saw left him open-mouthed, all of his three friends were just as scared as him.

"This is really a pressured situation, but I'm gonna do it for my friends and myself!" Faust whispers to himself while gathering up his courage to take on anything that awaits him.

As they finally reached the place, the serious expression they had on their face started to disappear along with their nervousness. They're all standing in front of the fearless bully that Nick highly spoke off.

 But to their surprise, the fearless and unbeatable kid that Nick told them about is a 6 years old cute kid standing in front of them with his arms resting on his hips.

Roy cannot express his feelings, he is too disappointed to even let his emotions be seen, he just stands there thinking to himself  *"Find me a gla.s.s of water, please bring a gla.s.s of water, no not gla.s.s I'm gonna find a building and jump down from the roof. Guys don't stop me now. I'm going to the roof* Roy fights with his inner self. "Oiii NICK! is This the KID you talked  about?" He asks while gritting his teeth.

Roy is beyond disappointed that even death can't save him from this embarra.s.sment. A normal death by drowning is too easy so he wanted to embarra.s.s himself even more by wanting to drown in a gla.s.s of water.

On the other hand, Faust is way too relaxed when he realised that they are going to fight with a kid. He sarcastically smiled without realizing it.

Nick hesitatingly steps ahead, getting closer to the kid to introduce his friends who are standing behind him with pride and honour as if Nick is going to introduce them as legendary weapons in his artillery.

"Faust! Master brown belt in kickboxing" -  Nick yells right in Kid's face.

*Awkward Silence*

The only martial art Nick was ever exposed to is karate and he doesn't really know what kickboxing is, he thinks, karate rules apply to every other martial art.

Faust looks at Nick with surprise and admiration as tears started streaming out from his eyes.

*"NNNa.... uwahhhh.** He calms his inner cry baby *"Nachos p.o.o.p you!!! YOU even know about kickboxing and the belts I posses, you even estimated my strength with brown belt which is way higher than black belt didn't you?*Faust thinks to himself while crying inside.

Faust himself doesn't know what kickboxing or karate or what those freaking belts are given for, he estimated that in karate the belt with more exquisite colour is powerful of all. According to him, plain black coloured and most commonly used belt is the lowest level. And a multi-coloured belt rainbow-like belt, which never existed and will never exist and if already exists I(author) hope it is cursed and is in the depths of h.e.l.l and no one can ever reach it. 

~~Break Time~~

According to Faust, the multi-coloured belt is the highest level of all. He estimated strength with fas.h.i.+on.

Nick continues on with his yelling not even caring if it's right or not.

"Roy, also a purple belt in s.p.a.ce hero" Nick announces majestically.

*Double Awkward silence*

"There is only one belt for s.p.a.ce heroes with a b.u.t.ton in the middle. Which, when pressed gives us wings(a reference to his s.p.a.ce hero toy)" Roy tells Nick in a low embarra.s.sed voice.

No words to explain the kid's innocence at all.

stupid little kids.

Cute stupid little kids.

s.h.i.+tty cute stupid little kids.

Dammi, all kids s.h.i.+tty kids.

Kids.kids.kids kids kids.kidssssss.

~~Intense break time~~

Nick looks at Tim and yells to the kid - "The higher cla.s.s senpai!"And he seems to enter deep thinking realm, he comes out to shout "THAT'S IT!" Without knowing what else to say about Tim, as he don't play heroes of the school like the other three.

"you still wanna fight?" - Nick asks while giving a rough flick to the kid's forehead.

Tim however is so disappointed and was left in shock that everyone can see his soul leaving the earth.

In the meantime, Faust steps up ahead, cracks his fingers and stares at the kid with a scary face and the rest of his friends followed Faust in doing the same.

The poor kid who couldn't even talk properly is overwhelmed by the four as tears gather in his eyes. Especially with scary Nick who keeps flicking the forehead of the kid until it becomes red.

~No kids were harmed during this~

"MOMMY, THESE BIG GUYS ARE BULLYING ME!!.... wahhhh" the kid starts to cry in a very loud and leecherous voice.

The adults, villagers and even some beautiful high school girls in the alley, stopped in their tracks to glare at  Faust and his friends.

"Wha- dammit you better remember this and cry a lot and tell everyone in your school not to mess with us!" Nick yells as he grabs his bike to make a run for it. Faust and the rest follow after Nick quickly and they happily ride back home cheerfully, thinking their first fight is a huge success. 

Most of the kids don't pick on these four, because of the higher cla.s.smen Tim who look serious all the time, Nick who is 4 feet 3 inches at the age of 8 with big buff body like his dad and Roy because he is a n.o.ble. Whereas Faust at 8 is less than 3'5" with thin arms and a tiny body.

After reaching home, Faust cheerfully plays with Bella, checks on all the eggs in and out of incubators, helps his grandpa with preparing dinner and enjoys the view of the village while sitting on top of the hill with Bella as he waits patiently for storytime.

"Grandpa! Nick is so knowledgeable" - Faust starts talking to his grandpa while both arrange the animals in their places for the night and his grandpa tuck him in bed after finis.h.i.+ng their job neatly.

"Really? What did he do to gain your recognition?" Gus asks while kindly smiling towards Faust.

"He knows that there is a brown belt in kickboxing, and also a purple belt in s.p.a.ce hero. I wish I was that knowledgeable." Faust replies while he pulls his bed near the window so he can watch the village as he sleeps

"Hahaha" Gus starts laughing and asks a question curiously "so you like these ancient martial arts that Nick told you about?."

"Of course I do! People can do anything with martial arts" Faust replies with a smile.

"Anything huh..." Gus mumbles to himself with a little unseen grim on his face, as if he knew that martial arts that can help people to do anything doesn't really exist.

"Come now Faust, I will tell you a story about a superhero with a sword that can cut mountains and air as it changes colours" Gus surprises Faust with his words.
