(1st frame): There once was a huge war.

(2nd frame): When the huge war was over, it was clearly evident that the war took it's toll on mankind.

(3rd frame): Civilization, and society regressed to a barbaric state of self-struggle, and hedonism.

(4th frame): To make sure that mankind would not repeat the same mistakes, they created a new set of paradigm to ensure that this would not happen again.

Image 02 - Page 2

(1st frame): In an effort to stop the barbarianism, Buddhist ideals such as "Finding Inner Peace Within The Mind" and meditation became immensely popular. Also as a result, martial arts flourished in this new coming of age.

(2nd frame): In this new hierarchy, the more powerful you were... the higher rank you had in society.

(3rd frame): The path of the martial arts quickly became an honorable, and reputable way to live.

(4th frame): and soon after... the age of the Martial Arts had arrived, and began to flourish!

(1st frame): It's shocking to believe but...

(2nd frame): It's been about 20 years since some foreign assassins murdered the Dalai Lama.

(3rd frame): Our attempts to find the new reincarnation of the Dalai Lama has been fruitless, and in vain.

(3rd frame): Please relay the message to everyone else in the temple. // Yes sir.

(4th frame): The foretold place where Master Wun-Doob envisioned / turns out to be a High School called Moo Hyuk.

(5th frame): It's true that if we send messengers down there we might be able to identify the new Dalai Lama but // if we don't do it discreetly enough this could pan out to be a dangerous scenario.

Image 07 - Page 11

(1st frame): In order to safely, and successfully find the Dalai Lama // we need someone here to go undercover and be discreet in finding the successor. But the problem is...

(2nd frame): The most successful, and powerful martial artists is said to have attended the school // thus, it's a school of much prestige, and fame.

(3rd frame): They select only the most finest, and capable students to attend the school. / In addition to that, you must pay 30 million rupees.

(4th frame): sfx: shock
30 million rupees?!! // How are we going to get that kind of money?!

(5th frame): Hmm... that's also something we've yet to figure out. // Excuse me but...

(6th frame): who are we going to send over to the school?

(4th frame): For the longest time now, Master Wun-doob would not accept donations but for him to start taking donations like this is surprising. // I know, right.

(5th frame): It truly serves as a testimonial for the harsh times we're currently going through. // In times like this, we need to do what we can to help him out. // Yeah, that's right.

(3rd frame): sfx: whoosh

(4th frame): Hmm, they say the air here is fresh in Tibet and the view here is profound. // Hmph, fresh my ass! This place reeks of filthy men, but maybe that's because of all the monks around.

Image 14 - Page 26

(4th frame): accepts only the most elite, and brightest candidates around.

(5th frame): If your student is unable to meet our standards then we will not hesitate to kick your student out.

(6th frame): Now then, shall I take a look the registration forms from your list of candidates?
