Chapter 1913 A Skater's Dream
Today, little Ren was out with his friends, riding their scooters around their favorite skateboard base. Understand that in today's Baymard, the skateboard family has grown so large that one would think it was a cult following. And because of this, Baymard's Capital opened 2 unique skateboard parks that were incredibly large. Think of it as going to an amusement park, but for Skateboarding. Within the parks were all sorts of skateboard attraction sites, like Hell mountain, and so on. But more importantly… There was an incredible mountain only for skateboard racing. The mountain had everything from tunnels to outdoor distractions, incredible terrains… you name it. Among the 2 Skateboarding parks, the One called Hawk's Eye took the cake. For major skateboarding competitions, Hawk's Eye was where many focused their attention on. Again, there's something one needs to know about skateboarders. They love a change in scenery and challenges. So if they've already conquered a certain skateboarding mountain severally, they'll be looking elsewhere for fun, and Landon didn't want them on the streets causing mayhem. So every 2 weeks, the park changes its skateboarding layout, making these experiences skateboarder still fall indefinitely or open their eyes in marvel when seeing the many difficulties thrown their way. Of course, they could still skateboard on the streets, but not for competitions. People can skateboard to school, skateboard to work, you name it. But don't go on the roads and cause car accidents all in the name of Skateboarding. Again, don't forget the usual outdoor, public parks and rings for scooter, skating, and skateboarding.
Squinting his eyes at the glaring sun, Little Ren felt a little strange today. What was going on? Why was he feeling a little on edge all of a sudden? It was strange that yesterday, he was told a stranger had checked into the palace by his big brother Landon over dinner. Little Ren found it a little odd that his big bro would tell him about a checked in guest. Big deal, guests from all over the world came in day in and day out all the time. These guests were typically Royals, delegates, representatives, teachers, or ministers, others coming to attend to important matters here in Baymard. Little Ren thought about who the guest could be, but there were just so many people he has seen over the years. It could be his big sister Lucia from Zalipnia, or someone else. Well, nevertheless, he felt he would know who Landon was referring to sooner or later. In fact, he only thought Landon was the one excited about their arrival, so he felt the need to share his excitement with everyone at the dinner table. No doubt, this guest must be someone here to sign a peace treaty with Big Brother Landon. 'Yes, that must be it.' Little Ren felt it must be so, quickly putting the matter behind him and focusing on the epic skateboarding race of a lifetime he was about to watch. .
"Wow! They are so cool!" "Look, look! Those are the Skate Titans in red And check it out, that's the uncrowned King, Retsu Hamamatsu!" "Look over there! The ones in green are the Ramp Crushers! Damn, Draymond is one scary dude, and his techniques are equally scary too." Little Ren and his friends heard the words from others and quickly turned their heads to see the famous groups of skateboarders bypass them all. (Q0Q)
AHHHHH!!! They all felt it was a dream, screaming inwardly when seeing the teams smirk and waive their way. Idol… idol… Little Ren felt his heart couldn't take it anymore. Apart from playing games and immersing himself in the world of anime, light novels and manga, his next best thing to do was skateboarding. He skateboarded with his friends severally, and their goal was to start a skateboarding team of their own to officially join the competitions. It's just that whether they admitted it or not, they were definitely not as skilled as the pros, but this didn't stop them from practicing. They even joined several junior racing competitions and won 4th place in one, and 9th place in the other. Being in the top ten meant they had some serious skills. People from all over the world came for these competitions. No joke, there were people who have been skateboarding in Tenola, who came. There were some from Zalipnia, some from Omania… you name it. The world of skateboarding had grown to an incredible heights that it was now recognized as an official sport here in Baymard, with people training their national teams, the same way they make train their soccer/football and basketball players. .
"Hey, little men… Don't I know you all from somewhere?"
"Ah—" Little Ren and his friends had dropped jaws but couldn't say a single thing when seeing Retsu Hamamatsu talk to them. Retsu had fiery wavy hair that stood tall like a bush when held in place by the scarf around his forehead. Retsu had his hands in his pockets and his legs on his skates, as he skated towards them. And with a broken but skillful manner, he jumped off the skate and flipped it in a spiral manner before catching it with a slight smirk on his lips. So cool! (+0+)
Retsu chuckled when seeing their twinkling eyes of adoration and awe. "Board Blazers, right?" "Ah–... yes, yes.. That's us! " One of Little Ren's friends excitedly announced. "We are the Board Blazers!" "Oh? I knew I was right. I saw your game little dudes, and I have to say, you all were totally awesome in my books… I–" Before Testu could finish talking, he felt a sharp pain on his left side. And the next thing everyone knew, Retsu was on his knee, holding his side belly. "Retsu!... How many times have I told you no goofing around?" A young man with long blond hair tied in a ponytail and glasses on his face, was the one who gave Retsu a fierce kick. This man was the one they dubbed the wizard, Gaiten Ichimaru. "But Ichi, I wasn't goofing around, I swear."
"Not Goofing around? Hmph." Ichimaru wasted no time grabbing Restu by the collar and began dragging him away. Then he paused, threw his head behind his shoulders and nodded towards them, as though acknowledging that he too recognized them. ("0")
–Silence–
Little Ren couldn't believe what just happened. The uncrowned King and the wizard… they both know their little team? Awesome! Best day ever!!!
Big little Ren didn't know that this was just the beginning.
