1 1)The 3rd

Being reborn you're supposed to magically remember what happened in the years before right?

Wrong. While remembering some big information is possible, knowing events that weren't for you or beneficial to you wasn't worth remembering. As the saying goes, I don't give a shit about that.

Well that's how I remember it but then again,I can't remember shit because I wasn't smart to graduate college. I worked right after graduating high school and worked, worked, worked, worked to finally live in apartment with my dream living space.

One bed, a coffee table with a tv, WiFi, food, water and a gaming setup. That was honestly my dream to live in peace.

I didn't care if my dream was small and people called my ambition pathetic, were they me? No, so who cares about what they thought.

But I realized that even if you do your duty every day, life isn't fair or doesn't give a shit.

Being killed because of a person shooting and missing every shot for his intended target, was really a sad way to go.

But that's the way of life, One second your up and running and something unexpectedly happens and your dead.

The only thing I was doing at that time, was reading the Finial of Lookism. Finally after 7 years because of the 4 chapters per month schedule, we were going to finally see if Daniel would survive the greater power.

Unfortunately I didn't get to read it. I was genuinely sad and began to cry while looking at two people in front of me, which made me remember.

One was a man with blonde hair and glasses who wore formal clothes and another had designer clothes with shaded sunglasses and slick black hair.

What was odd was that i "knew" them and we were all the same age, 16.

"Hey Gun, are you sure this is him? He's already crying and we haven't done anything to him. He doesn't look the person who defeated all the kings" The person with blonde said as he looked to his companion beside him who took off his shades and smiled

"This is him. Pietro Ryu, look at his eyes. it was said that if Gapryong eldest son wasn't born or that if he was born a bit before him, he could've been called the king of Seoul. Well that was said by Gapryong, Charles and the current king themselves." Gun stated as he started to walk towards him.

Pietro Ryu, even though he was 16, he was once a person who learned under the king of Seoul, who had suddenly fled due to unknown reasons. He was also a person who despite not having the Kim bloodline, he could become more powerful than them.

"Yeah that's me. What do you want" Pietro said as he looked calmed on the surface and yawned but inward, he was freaking out as he met two of the strongest characters in the PTJ universe.

But right now, they were just kids not in their full potential or in their prime.

"I'm only gonna say this once. A bright kid on our side already knows everything about you. You have no family, no money and no place to stay. I'm offering you a job to help us protect someone and in exchange, you'll get a hefty sum of money." Gun extended his hands as Pietro looked at it.

His hands were in his pockets as his eyes were sleepy while having his hair disheveled. He yawned again as he took both of his hands out.

He scratched his stomach while his other hand shook Gun hand.

That's it. No grand talk session, no special back and forth tactics.

Simplicity is the best.

Once they shook hands, each one felt each other grip strength as a test to see if they were strong.

Pietro obviously already knew Gun was strong so the one in surprise was Gun. He knew the rumors surrounding this kid the same age as him but he couldn't believe it. Just his grip strength was getting stronger.

"Now, We can't simply let you join. Charles did say you were remarkable but we have test your power." With that being said, Gun was the first to attack as he had took on a crazy smile.

Pietro stepped to the side and quickly dodged his attacks. It stunned Gun for a moment as he couldn't believe there were someone able to dodge his attacks and play with him. It honestly annoyed him as he went serious for a moment and grabbed him by the hand, lift him and tried to slam him but Pietro quickly balanced himself on top of his head but in the next second, he put his arm over his chest to block Goo kick.

"You're in the way." Gun said as he turned to Goo who appeared beside him in which, Goo just stuck out his tongue.

"Who said you could go first? I didn't hear dibs." Like usual, Goo had a calm and goofy attitude as he had his hands in his pocket.

"Bullshit. I obviously attacked first, he's mine." Without waiting for his approval, Gun walked ahead to see Pietro with a casual face as he patted his arm and yawned again.

He looked tired as he scratched his head and patted his stomach.

"Wow, that was a good kick! Was that meant to break my balance?" Pietro inquired as he had a calm yet tired attitude. Gun once again, attacked while Pietro directed it towards another direction and kicked his side.

Gun winced as this unusual strength for someone their age, was hard to take as he already felt like his bones were about to break from that single kick.

But Gun didn't pay attention to the pain as he grabbed Pietro Leg, and tried to break it with an elbow strike aimed at his shin but before he could do that, Gun quickly felt a dangerous attack incoming as he bended backwards and saw Pietro other Leg coming from the side for his head.

Pietro landed on his other leg as his left leg was still trapped under Gun armpit. It was annoying so Pietro quickly did a front flip which surprised gun as Pietro had strength to lift him up and slam him down.

Gun rolled to the side as he saw the pavement where his head was at, caved in by Pietro heel kick.

"Hahah~ Is this what it feels like to fight a fighting legend considered by those old guys?!" While he was stumbling away, he quickly got his footing and rushed ahead as he noticed Pietro was everything.

Powerful power, exceptional speed, insane reflexes, and a good body that could tank hits. All this was estimated in the little time he spent exchanged blows.

'Was Charles right? Did he really have a body that will surpass everyone of the previous generation? Even James and Gapryong. And it looks like he's not taking this seriously….. is he like Goo, instead of being funny, he's tired…'

"Tell me! Do you have it!" Gun stated as his thoughts were questioning whether Pietro was special and taking this fight half heartily as he had a bored and tired face.

His eyes had bags while being droopy and half open as he delivered a kick to Pietro leg, which made him limp down a bit. He then used his other leg to make Pietro lose his footing, making him fall on the ground as he striked down with a punch.

Pietro moved his head to the side a little bit and and saw how the ground broke with Gun hand in it "Do you have my eyes!?"

He questioned while panting heavily as he felt joy. Pietro only side eyed the fist in the pavement as he stared blankly at Gun with an uninterested expression. He used his legs to flip over Gun and quickly swapped positions.

But before he could strike, a feet appeared in which Pietro caught by catching the person ankle.

"Oh wow! You saw that coming?" Goo said with a casual and joyful tone. He jumped up and used his other leg to kick Pietro in the head which he caught.

"Huh? Wait, let's talk about this~heheh" Goo was surprised this kid their age could be lifting him up but then again, he remembered wasn't a Pig, so he felt good somehow.

"Not!" With a sudden laughter, Goo punched Pietro right in the face with gun hitting him in the gut which sent him back as Goo chuckled while Gun looked annoyed.

"You really want pins in your body?"

"Oh shut up.I saved you! Where's my thanks."

"I didn't need it."

"Okay~ sure… sheesh, ungrateful brat" A snarky response from Goo left Gun more annoyed as he was about to turn and hit him but they saw Pietro get up with him wiping off dust.

"Ouch. That really did hurt. You guys are a great team." Pietro said with a deadpan look as he put his hands into his pocket and complemented them as they looked each other and wondered did they hit him to hard?

"Okay, so, since you did that, then….." Pietro shot out towards Goo as he used his flexible and fast foot movements to send Goo tumbling away with him moving onto Gun.

He fell back landed on the ground somewhat in pain as he couldn't believe he couldn't see those attacks.

Seeing Gun broken pair of glasses, he picked up one of the piece as he held it like a sword. Looking forward, he saw Gun lauhging "Good! Good! I can now go all out!"

"Ugh, another creepy demonic person with us." Goo said once he saw Pietro with the dead eyes like a fish and wondered if this person showed any emotion besides boredom.

"Remarkable!" Saying that, Gun moved his head and launched Pietro back in the air with his kick as he used his kykoshin but his opponent was to quick as he balanced himself on his head and came down in front of him, delivering powerful double kick to his stomach, which sent him flying away.

"I guess it's time for me…" Goo said coming towards Pietro as he was holding the temple of the glasses and held it in front of him.

"I hope you're powerful enough to take on the both of us." Goo looked serious as he took a stance. Pietro saw this and got surprised as he was "somewhat" a fan of Gun and Goo.

Goo finally saw Pietro making a surprise emotion as he could see his eyebrows going up.

No, to be more precise, he was a massive windmill for the both of them as they had the best entrances in the Lookism series

He saw Goo in a stance while seeing Gun recovered and running towards him with a crazed smile and laughing like he was playing with his long lost friend.

'This should be interesting. I finally am fighting them after 16 years being reincarnated here. Now let's see, did my Hell training with "Him" do any good along with my Gift/Talent' Pietro thought as he stood straight while welcoming them with open arms with an unamused look.

…

Night descended as street post were lit up in a shabby neighborhood as countless houses of one story's that looked like they were about to break were all around.

3 people were seen walking together as each one had clothes ripped apart with a scar visible on their bodies.

And what was weird about it was that they acted like it was a normal day with them walking normally. Goo was whistling with his hands behind his head, gun had his hands in his pockets while Pietro threw chips in his mouth with his usual bored expression.

The sound of chewing was heard as the duo wanted to hit him but they refrained from doing that as they remembered they lost and found Pietro taking their money from their pockets.

Gun had a new scar on his stomach, Goo scar was on his back while Pietro had two scars that made an X on his back as he continued to eat and have a carefree attitude.

"For a person who's gonna pay me, he sure looks like he has a lot of money" Once he said that, another round of chewing began as the crunch sound could still be heard even though his mouth was closed.

"Throw it away. You're gonna meet him."

"Fine fine, I just joined and I'm already knowing who's the nanny." Goo chuckled at what Pietro said as he went behind Gun back and displayed a fist as Pietro did the same, and bumped each other.

"We're here." Gun said, entering a key into the door and opening it revealing only one person in the room, on the ground while resting his back on the wall.

"Gun, Goo, I'm glad the recruitment went well…." A man with one missing arm and styled hair said as he looked at the kids in front of him and saw how they turned around to look at the room, and saw the scars on them

"As well as the test. Welcome Pietro. Gapryong always talked about you. I'm Charles, Charles Choi."

With one eye brow raised, Charles captured the attention of Pietro as he opened his mouth "Gapryong….do you happen to know where his eldest son is?"

"Somewhere out of the country, although I'm sure you'll be satisfied with his second son who's already much like his brother, only calmer."

Pietro nodded as he already knew this information but wanted to at least make some small talk.

"Let's skip the formal talk and get straight to business. I already have my plan set up to make money and start my business. That's where you come in play, the three of you. Since I'm no longer like how I used to fight, I will be vulnerable to my enemies. That's why, for a hefty sum, you'll be my bodyguards." Charles Choi spoke with confidence as he stood up and took out a piece of paper from his pocket and handed it towards Pietro

"HNH….."

"Yes. Like you, I have other geniuses along with me. But I'm missing one more. He's someone you should've met when you were younger. Tom Lee."

Once Charles said that, Pietro smirked as he looked at his arm and then back at Charles.

Gun and Goo were surprised as they saw him finally smiling which was Weird.

"What about him."

"Although I know you're qualified to protect me, have some more life and death battles. You all three should learn from him and recruit him. But before that, test him, see if he's still good to fight."

Pietro burst out laughing as he couldn't imagine this was how the duo behind him, first met Tom. He doesn't remember the Lookism story as 16 years passed and all he thought about was training and surving.

So some information might be forgotten, like this.

"Well it won't hurt to see that old man again…" He let out a yawn while stretching. "But then again, it's late. Why not tomorrow?" Pietro added with Charles closing his eyes and nodded slowly.

"First thing tomorrow, you three should determine weather, he's in top shape or degraded."

They all turned around but suddenly Charles put a hand on Pietro shoulder as he smiled creepily. "Remember, if your going to work under me you have to follow my orders to a degree….." Charles said with a soft chuckle but it faded out as he looked to the side and saw Pietro hand in a straight angle which was 1 inch away from his neck.

"…..Also, it's best not to kill your boss who's gonna be paying you"

'He's remarkably gotten better since the last time I saw him….i didn't even see him moving his hand.' Thinking of that, Charles looked back to Pietro who only smiled while closing his eyes.

"Sorry my reflexes kicked in, I fought with Gapryong one time. You kind of remind me of him and it looks like I was about to kill you." Chuckling, Pietro retracted his hand along with Charles as they both laughed it off and went their ways

'Weirdos' Goo thought while Gun got another surprise. How strong was Pietro truly? Gun was sure he didn't give it his all back when they fought and now, he barely saw Pietro movement.

With the trio leaving, Charles looked at his one hand and was somehow worried about this 'wildcard'

Pietro was obviously someone Charles been keeping a tabs on and needed him but what was frustrating was that Pietro, never took anything serious and always looked sleepy yet, he's already ridiculously strong, thinking of past events that accrued with him and the zero generation people, Charles wondered if this kid will ever stop growing stronger.

Not to mention, the only reason Charles didn't want to have him as an enemy was because of the warnings from Gapryong and James Lee

"It looks like this kid already is starting to surpass us, old friend….."

(AN:Well hello there :) I decided to make this one because it's more easy going. Well so this book is about Pietro being the 3rd bodyguard(11th genius) of Charles.

The Mc isn't a hero or a villain, he's on the side of money and survival.

That being said, I will focus on this book more than my other one just because it's more…..steady…..)
