#16. The Mystery Of Jiyu Nokemono- Part 1: "Conversation"

From outside is a view of the Bartros Hall dorms,in a window on the fourth floor is Jiyu.

He is laying on the window seal,seemingly taking a nap.

A voice from below, "Jiyu of Orange Class"

Jiyu is startled, "what,whoa!"

He falls out of the window,just then Whiskers jumps up to the window seal. The cat looks down to see where Jiyu landed, then makes itself comfortable and closes his eyes.

Down below,

in the bushes is Jiyu getting up, "who did that, was that you Ushiku...?"

as he is getting up he sees feet,legs then...

Jiyu standing up, "Sensei Moriyama?! what's up?"

Sensei Moriyama,"I have something you may be interested in,that is what is up"

Jiyu walking up to him, "oh yeah, what is it?"

Sensei Moriyama puts his hand on Jiyu's shoulder, "come with me..."

Jiyu and Sosuke Moriyama are instantly surrounded by a different environment.

It is a large room with tall bookshelves,a large table with scrolls,and papers in general all around the room. In the center of the large table is a Globe.

Jiyu, "wow, what is this place?"

He is looking around and messing with things.

Sensei, "this is my study, it's in a location not known to many."

he opens a book and continues, "count yourself fortunate."

Jiyu seems to be paying him no attention.

Sensei Moriyama, "The first thing that made me take notice of you, well enough to investigate you thoroughly..."

Jiyu flipping through a book.

Sensei Moriyama, "... is you're deception."

Jiyu stops,"deception?"

Sensei, "I see that caught your attention. Yes, i have seen you in training,  as it were and also read class reports about your exploits so far."

Jiyu walking up to the table, "Am I in trouble,Sensei?"

Sensei continues, "I particularly found your enrollment interesting.Your walking miles to the testing trails isn't the interesting part."

Jiyu, "it's not?"

Sensei Moriyama, "No, the fact that your trip took several years to complete. I'm not going to ask what you were doing those years or how you survived."

Jiyu, "Sensei..."

Sensei Moriyama,"You are not in trouble, but you should know that all the Sensei have taken notice in your, holding back."

Jiyu, "i just don't..."

Sensei Moriyama, "want to hurt anyone, is that it? Maybe you think so lttle of us all that you a 2 year old boy could... "

Jiyu slamming his hands on the table, "I don't know what I am!"

Sosuke Moriyama looks at him slightly sternly. [Now we are getting somewhere]

  He looks at Sensei Moriyama and slowly puts his hands into his pockets.

Sensei, "what you are? As if you are a beast or possessed by an entity of some sort?"

Jiyu, "well, I don't really fit in with everyone else. you can't really tell but i ..."

Sensei Moriyama, "enough, you're not possessed by a demon and you're not any kind of unnatural beast. You're a 12  year old boy that's stronger than he let's on."

Jiyu looks at  him with surprise, "So i guess everyone know's that too. Well Ushiku figured it out, I guess makes sense for you guys to know."

Sensei Moriyama, "i understand you're frustrated by the mystery of your origin as well."

Jiyu, "yes, I'm an orphan Sensei, but that doesn't mean I ...look Sensei I thought you had something to tell me or whatever?"

Sensei Moriyama, "it's true, no one at this school is the same as you. But,you are not alone in the world."

Jiyu raises his head, "what,do you mean..?"

Sensei Moriyama gathers a shoulder bag, "enough of that, I can't tell you much more than that right now. Every one is bound by the rules of the secrecy script."

He walks towards Jiyu.

Jiyu, "are we going somewhere else?"

Sensei Moriyama, "indeed, if you're gonna grow you gotta give it your all in every thing you do not just class. So to help you, we are going to train."

Jiyu, "train?"

Sensei Moriyama, "yes you can go all out with me and I'll let you know,if you're indeed some sort of monster."

24 hours earlier...

A meeting room with unseen people sitting at a square table.

This is the Bartros Hall board meeting room,where the members make important decisions regarding the students and education in general. Each Hall as individual  boards consisting of...

The first year homeroom teachers and the Hall Dean.

Sensei Yugana,"Why is this an issue, he has committed no act to call for this."

Sensei Hideo, "It's not about that, it's how to handle what he is."

Sensei Shinjiro, "what he is? He is a kid Hideo, that's what he is."

Sensei Moriyama, "Yes with the potential to wipe out every other student on this hall."

Sensei Hideo, "exactly, the threat"

Sensei Shinjiro, "Sosuke, are you saying you see him as a threat?"

Sensei Yugana,"Jiyu is but a boy wanting to be a Senshi. It is our responsibility to help him achieve that,if he is strong enough." 

Sensei Shinjiro, {damn right, any other time me and Taisa wouldn't agree...}

Dean, "well,then how strong is he right now?"

we see Jiyu standing in a huge coliseum with Sensei Moriyama.

Sensei Yugana's voice, "he may be as strong as a teacher"

back to the meeting

Sensei Hideo,"you don't see that as a problem?"

Sensei Moriyama,"well, strength does not always correlate with skill. If he is strong or has a huge potential for power, then he needs to develop skill."

Sensei Shinjiro, "the kid is good I hear."

Dean ,"yes but how good?"

Sensei Moriyama,"I will assess that."

Dean, "I hear he can already do ghost step, is that true?"

No one speaks.

Dean, "well he has to be dealt with either way."

Sensei Yugana leans forward with his elbows on the table.

Dean, "Taisa Yugana, I just mean that depending on Moriyama's findings...."

scene shows Jiyu taking off his jacket

Dean voice, "...if we tell him exactly what he is."

Jiyu is with Sensei Moriyama.

Sensei Moriyama,"don't hold back."

Jiyu with his hand in his fist, "yes Sensei"

He begins to run towards him.

Sensei Moriyama, {Okay, so it begins. Solving the mystery of Jiyu Nokemono.}

Next: "Don't Hold Back"

World of Sentou: logistics and infrastructure

 There is no potassium nitrate in this world, which means no gunpowder. Also not able to be used to create glass, fertilizer, and as a food preservative.

Possible may be Senshii or just certain jobs taught to perform certain tasks in place of having potassium nitrate.

1. Glass made from sand using heat, charcoal does exist in this world.

2. Ice is used to preserve food. 

     A. Saino that freezes water, very basic and not battle applicable.

     B. Refrigeration buildings are in towns,cities, anywhere that people dwell. Manned by either *Protifex (artifex/proletariat combined) or retired Senshi.

3. Senshi have a division specifically for infrastructures, for itself  and in certain “treaties” within Federation territories.

 

Writer's Notes: Origin Story

Sentou

Jiyu Nokemono is a young boy that lives in White Oak village. He was raised by a loving and caring mother.  He is an energetic, fun loving and caring child. Always up for an adventure and a challenge.

HIS MEMORY:
     One day when he was 8 years old,a group of mysterious Knights came to the village,members of the country's military. Thought of as noble protectors of the country. Quickly it was apparent this was not true for these knights. They were in league with scoundrels, robbing and pillaging small unprotected villages. A little girl he was close to was assaulted and killed on the streets, in front of him.

    He tried to stop it but was thrown to the side and beaten. Feeling powerless and scared,suddenly something amazing happened.  

     The knights and scoundrels were being attacked. It seemed like magic from his point of view, people dressed in ways he never seen were attacking and defeating them.
All the assailants were defeated.
Afterwards the people stayed and helped heal people They made sure all the knights and scoundrels were gone ,that there were none left in the area.

THE actual TRUTH:

 He was left as a baby by his father and mother. The woman that raised him was rejected by her Rhenze clan.

 She couldn't bare children, the couple left him due to a war growing in the dark realm.

His "mother" loved him very much as did his "father",even if he was always working and helping others in the village.

 The attackers forced his mother into her home where Jiyu was hiding. His father at first wanted to stop the attackers but due to Jiyu being there he chose to hide with him.

 When he couldn't take anymore,came out of hiding and begged them to leave her. They stabbed him and dragged him out of the house.

Screams were heard as he died. The mother teared up.

Jiyu watched as his mother went limp, then he awakened.

As he attacked the men killing each one he exclaimed he hated them, that he hated them all. 

Just then his mother marked his foot,with a touch. A "calling symbol", it brought Kyoshi to him.

They were transported into a room, where she spoke to Jiyu.  "Don't stop caring, my beautiful boy".

  Just then the home exploded sending Jiyu flying out landing unconscious. 

    That is where The Golden Buntai members: Kentoshi,Tsuma and Chika found him. 

Before they could approach Kyoshi appeared,warning them.

Kyoshi them placed the Dreamtairu/Script, calked a "Rhenze lock" on him and sealed his true memories of the event away. He molded his memories into something more tolerable.

 When he awoke he met the fantastic strangers. 

     The warriors are called "Senshi" and Jiyu was fascinated by them. He asked so many questions until finally he was told how to become one. The Saino no Gakku(school)of this region(Dragon’s Flame) was in Queen City, the capital of this land. They told him that there were three trials, one of strength, one of mind and one of a secret origin. He said his goodbyes and then set off to enter the trials, but he was too young to enter at his current age. To that he stated he would train on the way until he was old enough in four years. 

*His goal is to make his mother proud and have his father aknowledge him.
      When arriving in the huge monstrous city, he inquires the where abouts of the trials. It is held in a coliseum, upon entering he is given something to cover his face. He passes the first trial with physical ease, struggles past the mental and accidentally blackmails his way past the third. After passing all three he spends the weekend running around the outer parts of Queen City.
The Saino No Gakku is a huge school it has seperate dorms and halls for each year students. The students are dressed in school provided clothing,for first several years. The first several years it covers them head to toe to hide any identifying traits or marks of family, clan or organizations the students may be a part of. Once they cross the threshold of the school every first year student is  subject to a secrecy Saino. It prevents them from saying there origin aloud. It is impossible to tell or show anyone your lineage until you enter the 3rd year(?) of school. That year, you may modify your school attire to show your family affiliations or wear clothing of your choice.
