My name is Ruo Bai
I am the eldest disciple of the SongBai dojo
I like Budō.
And the power that gets my blood boiling passionately.
I don't like people who give up easily.
Life shouldn't be lived in confusion.
Why?
Sorry.
You will regret this
This summer's challenge
regardless if it's a victory or a defeat.
I will persevere to the end.
Ladies and Gentlemen,
This is the 23rd annual
Budō competition of Ruiyang
Dojo competition
Semi-final Competition
Of the two competitors on the mat,
One is the defending champion
from the Xian Wu dojo
Ting Yi Fang
And the other is Bai Cao Qi from Song Bai dojo.
Why is this strawberry hair tie on your head?
This hairtie?
Chu Yuan Senpai gave it to me.
This is mine.
MINE!
READY.
START.
Ting Yi Senpai looks angry.
Bai Cao!
Bai Cao, Get up!
You can do it!
Come, get up! You can do it!
Let's go Bai Cao, Let's go Bai Cao!
You can do it!
Kick Her, Come on, Kick her!
Come on Bai Cao!
She's seen through my starting stances.
The stances that I haven't even finished learning.
It's so easy for her.
This is the difference between the talented and the ordinary.
Endurance is the one thing that Bai Cao is far better than Ting Yi in.
Ting Yi is a flower in the greenhouse, whereas Bai Cao is a strand of wild grass that can endure anything.
From now on, I will take this fight seriously.
STOP.
ONE
TWO.
THREE.
I can still stand up, I still have some strength.
I haven't given it my all yet!
Please stop fighting!
Bai Cao!
Are you ok?
Come on, show me exactly how good your physical strength is!
One month earlier...
This is An Yang
My home.
Although it's hard to find on a map,
it is the place where Budō originated from.
Bai Cao! Bao Cao, wait for me!
Bai Cao, quick, come to the noodle restaurant with me!
The Budō world championship will be broadcasting soon!
Our Budō god Ting Hao Fang will be on today!
He might even win the championship!
Hurry, if we go any later, there won't be any space left!
Go without me,
I still need to go work!
Teacher's body is getting worse every day, I need to earn more money to buy medicine.
Your teacher again? You're not even his real daughter, what's she doing?
Stop it,
Go get your seat!
I'm going to be late.
Wait, you're actually leaving?
Bai Cao!
Bye bye!
This year's Budō championship will be held in Seoul, Korea
The two finalists are Ting Hao Fang from China, and Sheng Hao Bi from Korea,
Thanks Bai Cao.
No problem!
Tsk tsk. You're a big boy now, but all you do is watch TV and take breaks, even a girl has more strength than you.
Stop loafing on the job!
It's okay,
The Budō finals are a big deal in An Yang, everyone's really interested in the outcome.

The Korean 2 time Budō World Champion was KO'ed in the finals by Chinese contestant Ting Hao Fang.
Although An Yang is the origination place of Budō, its citizens have not stepped onto the champion platform for 10 years
Today, they can finally proudly raise their heads!
This year, you finally won the championship on behalf of all An Yang citizens. What are your thoughts are this moment?
Thoughts...
Actually, I don't have any. This all played out exactly as I predicted.
Then, which championship do you plan to claim next?
Championship...
Actually, winning a championship isn't all that important to me.
Right now, I only want to defeat one person.
Please welcome the Master of the Jin Shan dojo, Yi Shan Kim to present the award medals!
WAIT.
You can't give him the award!
This match can't count. I strongly suspect that Ting Hao Fang used stimulants today.
You, citizens of An Yang, must've used stimulants, just like you did 10 years ago.
Where did this lying brat come from?
Min Zhu, stop it.
Father, have you forgotten?
Ten years ago, that An Yang man, Xiang Nan Qu, ingested stimulants, stole your trophy, and tore your ligament!
So she's Min Zhu Kim, the daughter of chairman Yi Shan Kim.
This has nothing to do with 10 years ago, get down from there.
Of course it's related!
I don't believe that after 10 years of losing, this Ting Hao Fang can defeat Sheng Hao senpai.
Therefore, I request a re-examination of his blood stimulant concentration to prevent the same disaster from happening.
We want a fairer competition!
We cannot let the scums take advantage!
Stimulants, Stimulants, Stimulants!
I can understand your feelings about your candidate not winning.
But taking an event from 10 years ago to cover it up is just disrespecting the honour of us candidates.
Is this your understanding of the spirit of Budō?
This kind of championship, it's not even worth having.
No, I don't need this.
She thinks she's all that just because she's Yi Shan Kim's daughter!
Yeah, go Ting Hao. This kind of award isn't even worth having.
That's right. Xiang Nan Chen, it's always him. We've finally won this time, but they had to bring him up again.
I hate that Xiang Nan Qu. Because of him, our entire An Yang is humiliated.
He's not my dad.
You dare to lie?
You're clearly Xiang Nan Qu's daughter!
It's all because of your loser father that Ting Hao can't receive his championship right now.
He's not my father.
Your family is the disgrace of An Yang. Get as far away from me as possible. I don't even want to see you again.
That's enough! What are you doing?
Xiu Da senpai, she's the daughter of Xiang Nan Qu, Guang Ya Qu of Quan Sheng dojo.
It's all her family's fault that An Yang is losing face in front of the entire world!
Stop it.
No matter if we faced disgrace today, that family will always be the criminals of An Yang.
I really don't understand, how can there still be dojos that are willing to take you in?
What do you know? What right do you have to be pointing fingers?
Who are you? What right do you have to stick your nose in our business?
I'm Bai Cao Qi of the Quan Sheng dojo. Please apologize.
You, and You. Every one of you that comes out from Quan Sheng dojo, is either a loser or a failure.
What right do you have to block me? Get out of my way?
Please apologize!
Let Go!
He told you to let go, didn't you hear him?
I said, please apologize.
LET GO OF ME.
I'M SO SORRY.
It's all my fault. I'm the daughter of a loser.
I apologize to everyone!
Guang Ya!
Xiu Da Senpai, are you ok?
Are you ok?
Guang Ya, Guang Ya!
Bai Cao Qi, I'll remember you.
Are you ok? Careful, careful.
Guang Ya!
Guang Ya, wait for me.
I told you, I'm not Xiang Nan Qu's daughter!
What are you calling me for?
This is the allowance teacher wants to give you. There should be --
I cut off all ties with him a long time ago. Why are you always following me around?
You can be his disciple, or even his daughter. It has nothing to do with me!
Bai Cao Qi, don't let me ever see you again!
This kind of championship isn't even worth having.
I don't need it.
Didn't you hear me? We're going home
I want to learn!
We're going home!
Doing well in school is better than anything else!
Please let me stay and learn!
He's Xiang Nan Qu! Hit him!
Son, what are you doing? Enough.
Stop it, stop it!
What are you doing?
He's Xiang Nan Qu, he's the reason Ting Hao Fang can't have the championship.
Hit him!
STOP IT.
We're going home!
Enough, Enough, stop throwing rocks.
Stop, stop it now!
Quickly, Quick. We're going home. Go home and write homework!
Teacher, are you okay?
I'm okay.
Teacher, don't listen to their nonsense. That Ting Hao Fang business has nothing to do with you!
Teacher, let me do it. You go get some rest.
Careful, don't get pricked by the glass shards.
How should I make you?
I'll make you in two different ways!
Aiya.
Alright fishie, stop fooling around!
If you help teacher get better, I will remember all your help and kindness!
How is it?
The colors all look really nice.
What is this?
Bittermelon!
Bittermelon is difficult.
Bai Cao, today, you already made a fish soup, so why did you also make a tomato and egg soup?
This is stir fried tomato and egg!
Stir Fried?
Let me try it.
Is it good?
Delicious!
You try it.
Is it good?
Mmm. Delicious!
It's good?
Then eat more!
Bai Cao, your teacher is getting old, he can no longer eat such salty foods.
You're still young, you can eat the saltier stuff.
I don't want it!
Teacher, you should eat more!
Did you use up all the salt you bought?
I was wrong.
Ok, ok.
One two three four, two two three four.
Turn.
Three two three four, Four two three four.
Little grass, today, teacher ate half a bowl more of rice than usual!
It must be because the fish soup was really good! Right?
Little grass, we should eat more too, so we can be strong enough to train. Unlike those girls who diet all day.
This way, we can become a real Budō master like teacher!
Teacher, another 5 new disciples were taken home by their parents because of Xiang Nan Qu.
It's the dojo competitions soon, but we might not even have enough people to make a cheerleading squad.
Those kids were average anyways.
Teacher, please kick him out. He's only a door guard, but he prevents us from being able to hold our heads up in honour.
That's not all. At school, we have to hang our heads in shame compared to the other dojo disciples and be ridiculed.
I'm telling you right now. Don't look for those reasons on someone else's body.
If you had the ability to do well, when others mention Quan Sheng dojo, you would be the ones they'd think of.
Would they think of him then?
Please teacher, you've always been so nice to him!
Shut up.
He's my senpai. It's impossible for me to do something so unchivalrous.
That's true, teacher is so kind hearted. And it's not like feeding an extra mouth would make us go poor.
It's not just one mouth ok, don't forget about his disciple Bai Cao Qi.
Don't forget about his daughter too
You're new so you don't know this, but she's already cut all ties with her dad. Teacher is now her guardian!
Senpai, if we leave our uniform here, will someone really come wash it?
Leave it here, that loser's disciple will come get it.
Are you talking about Bai Cao Qi?
Why doesn't she train with us?
Does she even have that right? She's just a maid who follows her teacher around eating and living here for free.
Right? Guang Ya.
We're going first!
Guang Ya!
Guang Ya, these days, teacher's legs have been in a lot of pain. You should visit him if you have time.
Why should I care?
You've blamed him for so long, but he is your only relative!
I don't need you to preach to me about this.
If it weren't for his lying to get a championship, my mom wouldn't have died.
I'll never be able to forgive him!
Bai Cao Qi, You should stop following him around too.
Because of him, you'll never be able to become a real Budō disciple.
Is it worth it?
Guang Ya. Actually, I too really want to become a real Budō disciple.
But none of these are as important to me as teacher is.
After re-examinations, it has been determined that Ting Hao Fang did not use stimulants during the match.
Yi Shan Kim will issue a formal apology on behalf of the investors to the contestant.
My deepest apologies.
Thank you for your hard work.
You are the real deal.
Thank you.
Bring out all of your spirits!
You are representing Quan Sheng dojo today!
Do you understand?
Understood!
Am I understood?
Understood!
Today should be the opening ceremony for the dojo competitions.
Hurry, hurry.
What's in here? It's so heavy!
Be more gentle with it!
My secret weapon is inside!
I need it to impress the audience later!
Dojo master, we have such few disciples. The other dojos have over a hundred people!
There's no way we can beat them!
Should we find a few more people to make us seem stronger?
That's enough.
Bai Cao, come here.
Dojo Head.
Here's a opportunity for you to attend an event with the dojo, it'll really open your eyes.
Then, can I change into an uniform?
Do you have the right to wear one?
That's enough. Bai Cao, you have a lot of strength right? Carry these two and come with us!
Let's go!
Thanks for the help!
Bai Cao, what are you doing?
Let's go!
Bai Cao, come here.
You can put your stuff down and go take a look around.
Thank you!
You guys, take the bags and follow me.
Bai Cao, what are you doing here?
Xiao Ying, the dojo master brought me here
I didn't know that the opening ceremonies were such a big deal!
But of course. Budo is the soul of An Yang. These competitions are the highest in all of An Yang.
Every year, the ceremonies are the best time to recruit new disciples, so of course it's a big deal!
Hey, this is your first time coming to the gala with your dojo.
Then that means that maybe you can attend the competitions this year too!
Oh that's so great Bai Cao!
No way, the dojo master only brought me to broaden my horizons. I don't even have the right to don the uniform.
I don't care. All I know is that you've finally been able to walk out of your teacher's room!
Look, look. It's my idol, Ruo Bai Senpai.
Ruo Bai senpai!
Oh my god did you see that back whirl kick? Even his leg kicks have such lethality.
Ruo Bai senpai, can you not be so handsome? I just want to jump you.
Are you okay little guy?
I'm okay.
Baby, are you okay?
Thank you!
Senpai, you're so awesome!
You're so cool!
Why is it broken?
It's all Bai Cao's fault. She must've not carried it properly.
Glue it. Glue it. Hurry, glue them all!
Teacher, I've finished glueing them all.
Alright, I'll use these to attract the audience's attention.
What are you doing?
Quick, put them away. Hurry.
Bai Cao, come here.
Hurry, Hurry.
Bai cao.
Do you know why
I brought you out with us today?
To expand my horizons
You've been at Quan Sheng dojo for so many years already.
Forget about the dojo competitions,
you haven't even participated in a single event inside the dojo.
Don't you want to
stand on the podium at an awards ceremony?
For yourself,
for your deceased parents,
Yes, I do.
This is the registration form for the dojo competitions.
You can fill this form out in a bit.
And as for the apprenticeship information,
put my name down.
You can be my pupil,
you don't need to be the disciple of that failure Xiang Nan Qu anymore.
My teacher isn't a failure!
What teacher?
Even if you follow him your whole life, you won't be able to enter a single competition!
If you become my disciple,
I have the ability
to let you enter those competitions
How about it?
Thank you dojo master,
but teacher raised me since I was a child
I can't just abandon him because of a single chance at attending a competition.
We should use our own abilities to overcome the obstacles in our way.
Faking won't solve the problem at all
and neither will the pursuit of glory and richness
What the hell do you mean?
When you go on stage later,
don't use the fake boards that you created to trick the people of An Yang
I think
that would be the real method of losing face for our dojo!
Bai Cao Qi.
You dare lecture the dojo master?
I'm not.
I'm merely asking him
to not fake anything
What evidence do you have to make such horrible claims?
I saw you guys gluing broken boards together!
Stop lying!
That's enough, lower your voices!
Bai Cao Qi, I'm telling you right now.
I'm just putting on a show,
just like how your teacher
used stimulants during an international competition.
You better shut your mouth
Let's go.
Wow, dojo master Zheng is really good! He's really released all his potential today.
Eh, he's so-so.
Dojo Master Zheng, you're so strong!
Your legs still have so much strength in them, it's like you're not aging at all!
Isn't that right, everyone?
Yes!
The spirit of our Quan Sheng dojo
is to give it your all, and not give up!
Aim for victory!
Thank you everyone, for your support!
Wait a second.
Quan Sheng Dojo...
Of course it's Quan Sheng dojo...
Before, it was the failure Xiang Nan Qu,
who caused An Yang to be an embarrassment in front of the whole world,
and today, Yuan Hai Zheng,
as the master of Quan Sheng dojo,
under the scrutiny of everyone here,
used fake boards to trick everyone.
Lying and faking his skills
Fake boards?!
That board that looked so thick just now,
was actually glued together.
So even a novice in Budo would be able to break it apart!
Glue...
Lies!
I have proof!
Proving that dojo master Zheng was the main plotter in this scheme to trick everyone!
"Please don't use some fake boards to trick everyone out there!"
"I think that that"
"is the real way of losing face for our dojo!"
Wait a second!
The girl on the video isn't even part of our Quan Sheng dojo!
You! I'm talking to you!
Tell everyone here,
that this video is fake!
Hurry, tell them!
Prove it! Hurry!
Say it!
Hurry up and say it!
Say it!
Everyone, look!
The board is covered in glue!
Everyone in the Quan Sheng dojo
has a really horrible personality
this kind of dojo,
isn't even worthy of participating in the city wide dojo competitions!
Their right to accept disciples should be take away!
This kind of dojo
is the embarrassment of our An Yang!
Starting from Xiang Nan Qu, this dojo has become a cheating, lying dojo!
Don't you all agree?
Yes!
Quan Sheng cheaters! Quan Sheng cheaters!
You're just like your teacher!
You're both the misfortunes of Quan Sheng dojo!
Are you planning on getting us shut down?
That's enough. Leave.
Leave the dojo today.
Why?
Why did I do wrong?
You're the one who said that the boards I kicked were glued together.
Then that journalist recorded it all down.
And when I asked you to prove him wrong, you didn't say a single word!
Our entire dojo has been humiliated by you!
What do you think you did wrong?
Now, all of An Yang's citizens are laughing at us.
If the association actually takes away our right to participate in the competition, what do you think you did wrong?
But I didn't say anything?
The journalist was the one who recorded everything!
And besides, even if he didn't find out, gluing boards together was our fault to begin with.
The spirit of Budo is to know the difference between right and wrong and to choose to do the right thing!
That's enough!
Do you think I want to trick everyone?
What do you think I did this for?
It was all for our dojo!
I'm telling you right now. Our dojo used to be so glorious
It's all because of your teacher,
using stimulants during the competition,
becoming the scum of Budo,
All our disciples left because our dojo was receiving so much criticism!
And I'm the one who has to try to clean up this mess.
Every year, we lose, every year, we're at the bottom.
Being made fun of.
Being looked at with disdain...
How do you think I feel?
I want to be true to everyone,
But is God even giving me the opportunity?
Quan Sheng Dojo,
is almost at the end of its existence.
I'm telling you right now Bai Cao Qi, I can't kick your teacher out,
But you,
You must leave.
NOW!
No, I won't leave!
I'm not going anywhere!
I didn't do anything wrong!
I realize that times are hard right now for our dojo,
But no matter what, lying and deceiving everyone is still wrong!
No matter how hard it gets, as long as we persevere, we can make it through!
Dojo master,
I can go out and get more part-time jobs to earn more money for the dojo.
I can also go beg those reporters for forgiveness,
so that we can continue participating in those competitions.
Bai Cao,
Teacher!
Leave,
don't stay at this dojo anymore.
Teacher, what are you saying?
LEAVE!
Get as far away as possible.
I don't want to see you ever again.
I've had enough of bringing you up these past 10 years.
But teacher,
If you think that I'm wrong too, you can punish me! But please don't make me leave!
This is my home! Our home!
Do you really still not understand?
If you stay with me forever, you'll ruin the rest of your life!
Go,
Don't stay by my side anymore.
Don't stay here anymore.
No! I want to stay by your side!
You're the only family I have left!
You can't leave me alone like this!
You're not my daughter,
why wouldn't I be able to?
LEAVE NOW.
Kick her out, now!
Leave, get out!
Let go of me! I won't leave!
Leave, Leave!
Go!
I won't leave! I won't leave!
Leave!
You're no longer a part of our dojo.
Get out of here!
Our dojo won't accept traitors like you.
Get as far way from us as possible!
Go!
Let me in!
Teacher!
Let me in!
Let me in !
Teacher!
Guang Ya!
I've brought you all your belongings. Your clothes, books, and piggy bank.
Don't ever come back.
They won't change their minds.
It won't work no matter how pitiful you act.
Go find a place that you can stay at!
But I didn't do anything wrong!
Why are you all blaming me?
Shut up!
You're the reason Quan Sheng is like this right now,
because of you, the dojo master has embarrassed himself so much that he's afraid to go out,
because of you, all us disciples are laughed at no matter where we go,
and yet, you still say that you've done no wrong?
Are you trying to say that the one who's wrong is the dojo that raised you, fed you and clothed you?
Think about it carefully
Did you do something wrong?
Guang Ya,
actually, I'm just like you!
I really want to become a real Budo disciple..
But none of these are as important to me as teacher is.
Bai Cao,
from now on, you'll live here with us!
This is your home.
Bai Cao,
What happened?
Get up, Get up,
They're such jerks!
They actually kicked you out? Didn't anyone speak up for you?
I mean, you stayed here for 10 years.
They're such cold hearted bastards
I'm okay.
Look at you,
you've caught a cold
You're clearly not okay!
Come home with me.
Even if Quan Sheng doesn't want you, our Song Bai dojo will!
Come on
No!
I'm teacher's disciple.
I'm the disciple of Quan Sheng!
What you do mean you're still a Quan Sheng disciple?
Who said that?
They've already kicked you out
What do you plan on doing now? Sleeping out on the streets?
Let's go!
You can't pull me away!
Stop trying.
I'm not going back with you!
Bai Cao Qi!
Are you trying to make me die from anger?
Ok, you're not leaving right?
Fine. I'll stay with you.
Don't be silly Xiao Ying,
You'll get sick like this.
Auntie and Uncle are going to be so worried!
Hurry home!
I'm not worth it!
What are you saying Bai Cao Qi?!
What do you mean not worth it?
I don't know if you think of me as your best friend or not,
but you've alway been my best friend.
While growing up,
whenever I got in trouble, you've always been the first to help me!
Xiao Ying,
I've always thought of you as my best friend!
Then why would you rather kneel out here than go home with me?
How can you stomach your best friend kneeling in the rain with you?
I don't care.
Tonight, no matter where you are, I will be too!
Fine,
I'll go back with you!
Really?
Get up, Get up!
Go, Bai Cao.
Get as far away from me as you can.
This is the only way you can live a happy life.
and study Budo.
Go,
As far as you can.
Dinner's ready!
You must be so hungry Bai Cao,
Dinner's served!
Coming!
Mmm something smells good!
Dinner time!
Bai Cao, you have to try this dish, it's uncle's best dish!
Try it!
That's right Bai Cao, this is my signature dish, I don't make it often, only once per year.
You know why?
Because you're lazy!
Shh. You're the lazy one!
Here,
This is your signature dish!
Here,
Thank you Auntie and Uncle!
Thanks, Xiao Ying!
No need to be so polite!
Bai Cao,
Why are you being so polite with us?
From now on, this will be your home!
Oh right,
Tomorrow, I'll take Bai Cao to the mall and buy some clothes,
I promise I'll beautify you!
Mom,
Now, you're making me upset.
Am I your daughter or not? Why are you being nicer to her than me?
Of course not!
You were a prize given to me!
Eat!
Stop eating, this is for Bai Cao. You're so fat already, you should stop eating!
I was getting it for Bai Cao! Here!
That's more like it.
And this one's mine.
Hurry!
Welcome to Xiao Ying and Bai Cao's home!
How is it? Homey? Cute? Do you like it?
Come here,
This is your bed. I specially picked out these bed sheets for you. They're so cute!
And here's your desk,
Look at all these plants I chose for you!
Look, and here's a picture of us!
And this book case. I reorganized it for you, so mess it up however you want!
And this!
This is our closet! I'll help you put your clothes in later.
From now on, we can share clothes!
And look at this!
Hurry, this is the best part!
My weapons for beauty. The new masks that just came in today!
From now on, every night, we can put on masks together and be the happy pretty duo!
Oh, and most importantly. I bought these today. What color do you want? Pink? Blue?
Here, you can have the blue one!
They're a pair!
Thank you.
I'm so happy that you came Bai Cao.
I've always wanted a sister to do everything with.
I've already planned it out! Friday, we can shop, Saturday, we can go watch a movie, and Sunday, we can go drink tea!
Don't you need to train on the weekends?
Ah, whatever,
I've already told you that I don't have any talent nor any interest.
I'm only in it for my idol!
OH NO. HOW COULD I FORGET?
Hurry, come with me!
Xiao Ying, What are you doing?
Are you my friend or not?
If you are, then you have to help me.
Help with what?
Stay here as a look out. If I'm caught, I'll get in so much trouble.
Xiao Ying.
Ruo Bai, Ting Hao got another championship. I guess he's going to come and challenge Chu Yuan senpai again.
The relationship between you three is really quite complex.
Your muscles are so good looking.
Who is it?
Spying on handsome guys taking a shower, are you afraid of growing sties?
Xiao Ying Fan! You again? How many times has it been?
Don't you dare run! I can't believe you touched me. Stop right there!
You're not from our dojo.
What is your name?
My. My name is Bai Cao Qi.
You. Yeah you.
Hurry up and tell everyone that this is fake.
If you're here as a guest, then don't be running about.
Got it, I'm sorry!
