"You Useless Brat!" , "Can't You Do Anything Right?", said an old man who keeps hitting a three years old kid ruthlessly.
"I'm not even sorry.", said the three years old kid with cold uncaring eyes and a poker face.
"Keep hitting me however you want, but I won't surrender to you or even cry to let you have your pleasure and triumph over my pain.", said the kid confidently.
"You'll pay for this you Brat!", said the old man while still keeps hitting the kid till he fainted from all the hitting and bruises all over his body.
He didn't eat or drink anything or even sleep well in days, he sleeps on the cold floor in the middle of the winter and sometimes outside where it's freezing! heartless man indeed!
The kid lost a lot of blood, he had never been to a doctor, that ruthless old man is the one supposedly called "Guardian", but he was never a "Guardian" to the kid, he treated him as a slave, not even treated him as a kid, he didn't care about him in any way, he always beats him up, he didn't even bother to give the kid a name, so the kid has no name. He never answers any stranger because he doesn't trust anyone other than himself, he always kept himself strong to not let anyone step on his dignity or pride, since it was literally the only things he had.
Our 3 years old boy's story starts in Japan, he had a mature-mind state since he is an orphan, not a reason really, but he had to know a lot more than just how to talk, but also how to reply to who insult him, not to be rude, but to not be looked down upon. He wanted the people around to know that just because he's a kid, doesn't necessarily means that he's a naïve kid, no, they should be scared of him just because he's a kid.
He was too smart for someone who is just three years old, but he had no other choice but to struggle to understand how the world really looks like, how does it treated the rich and the poor, the ones with backing and the ones who have nothing at all, the nobles and the homeless, the royalties and the slaves, he was wondering who on Earth is he, what he heard from that scum old man is that he found him in front of his door, nothing at all was with him, not even a name, the old man could've cared less about that kid so he never really bothered to give him a name, he just kept calling him annoying kid, or stupid brat, so he never had a name.
One day, the three years old kid broke a valuable cup that belongs to the old man, the old man had a high-class shop, so when the kid broke the cup he got beaten up after the shop closed, the old man didn't want to blow up his cover, so he waited till everyone left so he could teach him a lesson.
"Do you know how much does this cup costs?", said the old man,"It costs more than your life!", said the old man angrily while kicking him hard.
"You're making all this noise just for one mere cup?”, said the kid, "You really are childish. you annoying old man.", said the kid with his usual cold tone, "One's life is priceless, Cannot be sold or purchased!", said the kid proudly, which made the old man very furious.
"I'm sick of you, you damn kid, no one knows who are you or where are you from all r even what are you!", said the old man with an evil grin.
"Who knows what's behind you, maybe you're real family abandoned you because they were in no need of you, you damn brat, you're just a big nuisance!", said the old man while still grinning evilly.
"I don't even care about these people, they mean nothing to me, and neither do you.", said the kid with his usual cold tone.
"That's it! you're no longer tolerated by me!Get the hell out of here!”, said the old man angrily while really hitting him hard till he knocked him down on the floor and lost consciousness with no sign of him waking up.
"You killed him?!", said the old woman, his wife, not that she cared, but she was afraid that they might be in big trouble.
"Don't worry, Sadly he's still alive, but we have to get rid of him, I can't tolerate him any longer!", said the old man furiously.
"We can sell him for a good price, he's just a kid after all.", said their son who heard his parents talking.
"There is someone I know that purchases young children for a really good price, and he'll be around tonight!", said their son amusingly."Very good idea, my brilliant son!", said the old woman happily.
"Fine, at least we'll get a price for him, none of our business what'll happen after to this damn brat! at least we'll get rid of him for good this time!", said the old man smirking evilly.
The kid was half unconscious, so he heard their words clearly. He didn't even move a muscle, not that he can after all this beating. He said to himself that at least he'll be free from them and that they're really doing him a favor.
"Then it's settled!", said the old man and his wife and his annoying son at the same time.
They waited a while for the guy who will purchase the kid, he arrived in front of the old man's house and purchased the kid for a really good price, the old man was satisfied.
"With this, we're finally free from this damn kid, do whatever you want with him!", said the old man happily.
The purchaser was very surprised, the kid was full of bruises and lost a lot of blood, he felt sorry for the kid.
That purchaser wasn't evil. In fact, he was rescuing the children who are like this three years old kid. He purchase them and free them to wherever they want to be.
"Well then, so long!", said the purchaser while leaving with the unconscious kid.
After a really long while, the kid woke up and he saw himself with a lot of other kids his age and other older kids, he saw an old man, but when he saw his face, he turned out to be quite young man, the purchaser saw that he finally woke up.
"You okay, kiddo?", said the purchaser. The kid didn't answer, but nodded. He bowed his head as a thank you pose.
"No need to thank me, kiddo! I love Saving children more than anything!", said the purchaser happily with a warm smile that the kid never saw in his life. The kid still didn't talk.
"I won't force you to talk to me, You trust nobody other than yourself, I understand that much!", said the purchaser with a warm smile that really touched all the kid's hearts, even our three years old kid.
"Name.", said the kid. "Aozora Mamoru.", said the purchaser. "Aozora stands for "Blue Sky" and Mamoru stands for "Protection!", said the purchaser happily, because that was a sign of a really small amount of trust from the kid's side.
"That I told you my name, it's only fair to tell me yours, am I wrong?" , said Mamoru. "I don't have a name.", said the kid with a poker face. "I see...", said Mamoru with an amused face.
"What's with this face? What does this look means? Are you feeling sorry for me?", said the kid in a kind of scary tone, that even scared Mamoru a little.
"No no, don't misunderstand me, It's just really amusing!", said Mamoru amusingly. "Is it so amusing that I have no name?", said the kid with the same scary tone. "yes, it's amusing that you have no name !", Said Mamoru amusingly "Before you get angry or say anything painful, it's amusing in the sense of that you can choose your own name! That's why I said it was amusing that you have no name!", said Mamoru happily.
"I see...", said the kid. "But I don't know how to read or write.", said the kid with a lost sad expression. "Do you have anywhere you want to go to? or even do you have anyone out there anywhere?", asked Mamoru worryingly.
"No, I heard from that old man That apparently I was abandoned.", said the kid in an uninterested tone.
"In that case, I know the perfect place for you! Trust me, you won't regret it in your life !", said Mamoru excitedly. "It's not like I have a choice.", said the kid in an interested tone.
He had a feeling indeed that he will never regret this choice, and indeed he had nowhere to go or no one to turn to, so he really didn't have much of a choice, and also he was grateful to be away from that old man and his wife and their annoying son.
"Can I know where are we headed?", asked the kid wonderingly, he wanted to know where are they and where are they headed. "We are going to get you a nice place with a personal friend of mine who is a teacher! He'll be more than glad to reach you how to read and write and with your knowledge of the letters and characters, you'll be able to choose your own name! isn't that fun?", said Mamoru happily.
Mamoru's words got into our kid's heart and he decided to believe him for the time being,and only time will be revealing his true nature. "That place is London! he's studying in Oxford University! but he's Japanese, and also aside from teaching you only Japanese characters, he'll also be teaching you English! that is indeed fun, isn't it ?", asked Mamoru.
"Indeed it is, a start of a new adventure it is !", said the kid excitedly. Mamoru was surprised that he finally got to the that kid's smile and all the other kids were having the same feelings as our three years old kid.
Then night came and they were in the see on a big ship. Mamoru asked the kids where do they want to be and what one of place they want to be in.
They all said many different places, bookstore, restaurant, bakery, market, school and many other places.
There was a kid that was older than our three years old kid, his name is "Kuroyama Johnny ", he is a Japanese-American, his parents died and his uncle and his wife and children took over his family's property, he was kicked out by his uncle. "Kuroyama " stand for black mountain, his parents were well-known engineers.
Anyways, he wanted to go with that three years old kid to the teacher that Mamoru suggested to the kid. Mamoru didn't mind because he know that his friend would be delighted to have more students! It was decided then! The kids went to the places of their own choice with of course trusted people from Mamoru's side and he had a special ability to know liars from honest people, pure-hearted people from hypocrites.
so, he knew who to trust and who to stay away from. No one would dare to offend a member of the Aozora Family. They are one of the most strong families in the whole world, It would be suicidal to try and trick them, because they are a lineage of very strong out-standing magicians.
we'll leave this story for another time, because the time is not now for this particular story. our three years old kid and Johnny were escorted by Mamoru to his teacher friend, he arrived to his place and welcomed Mamoru and the two kids.
"welcome, you two! My name is "Azumayama Kiba", "Azumayama" stands for "East Mountain" and "Kiba" stands for "Blade", and I'll be the teacher for the both of you, I'll be in your care, and you'll Be in my care! Hope that we can get along for a really long time !". said the teacher, Mamoru's friend, with a happy, warm and hosting face.
