Ohno was happily out at sea. He had planned a 24-hour fishing marathon with the ship’s captain. They originally wanted to go fishing for two days, back-to-back, but in the end they decided to merge it into a 24-hour trip. Enjoying the sun and the sea breeze, Ohno turned his thoughts to the string of events that lead him to his current position.
As a teen, Ohno had absolutely no interest in studying. Lessons bore him to no end, and reading kanji gave him a headache. After watching a butai about samurais, he became interested in the art of kenjutsu and took up the kendo with his mother’s encouragement. Ohno took to kendo rather naturally. Key concepts in kendo such as mushin (empty mind) and fudoushin (unmoving mind) were like child’s play to him - his mind seems to be blank most of the time anyway. Ohno quickly impressed the instructor with his agility and quick reflexes. Even though he had less than a year’s experience, his coach recommended him to take part in the local kendo competition together with the rest of his seniors. When Ohno refused due to his lack of confidence, the coach approached his mother instead. His mum secretly sent in the participation forms, and before Ohno could figure out what was going on, he was packed in a mini-van together with the rest of his seniors to the competition area. The rest was history. Ohno easily fenced off all competition and came out tops. Everyone was surprised at the outcome, including Ohno himself. The coach knew Ohno had the talent, but he was never THAT good during practice. It seemed like Ohno became a totally different person during the competition… like he switched on his true ability or something…
News of the ‘miracle boy’ reached Johnny, and he took a liking to Ohno right away. He recruited Ohno into the Agency there and than, at a tender age of 13. Ohno was only too happy to oblige - he would do anything to get him out of school. Normally the Agency only accept or invite recruits when they reach at least 16 years of age. Most agents only joined the agency when they were in their twenties. Ohno’s entrance sent ripples throughout the Agency - his seniors either admired him for his talent, or were outright jealous of his entrance. In order to avoid friction within the Agency, the boss had Ohno sent to Kyoto for special training instead of joining the rest of his seniors in Tokyo. There was of course plenty of protests from the higher ups in the Agency, however Johnny was of the opinion that training should start as young as possible. Plus, having a kid around MIGHT turn out to be useful in certain missions anyway.
In Kyoto, Ohno was given the exposure to various forms of marital arts. He was particularly interested in Wing Chuan, a form of Chinese martial arts that is firm yet flexible, rooted but yielding. While he did continue to practice kendo, he felt that the kendouka (shout) and fumikomi-ashi (stamping of the front foot) was rather unnecessary - he preferred to move and say as minimally as possible, what's more, he found them impractical. No one would want to announce their attack to their enemy in a real fight after all. In addition to martial arts and kendo training, Ohno was taught to handle modern weaponry. Starting with air pistols and air rifles, he soon graduated to handling real ones. His calm mind and steady hand made it easy for him to connect with his target, and soon he became a professional marksman.
Apart from physical trainings, Ohno attended a lot of lessons as well. How to react to terrorists, how to rescue hostages, negotiate, plan strategies and lead the team... A lot of it just went over Ohno's head as he was still too young, but over time, his brain managed to absorbed and digest the information. By the time he was 16 - when other recruits just entered the Agency, Ohno was already equipped with all the knowledge a regular working spy needed to know.
He'd started on missions roughly a year after he entered the Agency, and he'd been on so many missions, small and big, since then that he'd lost count. Ohno jerked out of his thoughts when he felt the fishing rod tug in his hands. Ohno smiled and as he started reeling the line in, and wondered if it's a tuna this time.
A/N: Another short one this time, I hope you like the character I created for leader! XD
