Chapter 3 : True Identity
Three years later….
Ryoma is currently drinking his Ponta in his office. He is looking at outside his window.
"Ano…president." A girl whose name was Alexia called for Ryoma. Ryoma glare at her making her flinched. "He..here is the report about last week school event." She said with a trembling tone.
"Put it there. I will check it later. Now, get lost." He said with a cold tone. Alexia quickly does as he said and exited Ryoma's office.
"Tsk..tsk…same as always, Ryoma. You know you should be gentle with girl." Antonio who was sitting at the couch said.
Ryoma didn't bother to answer that. He keeps on drinking his Ponta.
"You know it useless to advising him, Antonio." Charle smirked at Antonio.
"I know, Charle. But he keeps on treating that poor girl like that. I wonder how his future wife will stand him."
Too bad. You are not going to see me with a woman. I'm gay.Ryoma smirked.
"See, he smirking. I bet he is thinking about some girl." Antonio laughed.
"Shut up, Antonio or I will make sure you run 100 laps around this academy." Ryoma said in threatening tone.
"Yes sir!" Antonio quickly obeyed Ryoma's words.
William is smiling while looking at the scene before him. Ryoma and Antonio are always like that. Antonio teased Ryoma and then Ryoma will threatening him about running 100 laps around the academy and Antonio will shut up. Only for a while.
Later on, those two will keep doing their teasing.
William still remember three year ago when Ryoma came back to America. He was in his broken state. Not showing his emotion. His eyes were cold as ice. It took them about 1 and a half year to bring back emotion to those eyes.
At least now Ryoma can smile. William really wants to meet with this Seigaku and punch every single one of them for making his best friend suffered.
But he knows that Ryoma will surely kill him if he does that. Ryoma clearly said that the one who will destroy Seigaku will be him. Only HIM.
The face when Ryoma said those words really scared a lot of them. Ryoma was dead serious that time that even Kylle broke into tears when he said that.
"So, Ryoma. I heard that you will be coming home to Japan to see your parent, is it true?" William asked while making his sadistic smile. (I will make William a sadist here, like Fuji.)
That question attracts the attention of all people in the room. Even Kylle who was sleeping, awake when he heard that. All of them were currently waiting for Ryoma to answer that.
Ryoma stared at William. "Yes."
"Are you sure, Ryoma? You want us to follow you?" Charle asked in concern.
"No need, Charle. I can handle it myself."
"But what if they hurt you again, Ryoma?" Kylle, being the stupid one in the group asked the taboo question.
And once again, that room was quiet. Antonio and Charle currently sweat dropping right now. Only William and Kylle were the relax one in the room.
Ryoma still keep his cool and drink his Ponta. And after he finished drinking it, he crushes the tin. Making other except William flinched in fear.
Ryoma stand up and walked toward Kylle. He pats Kylle's shoulder. "Fufufufu…you are such a cute kid, Kylle." Ryoma said in his pissed tone. Kylle trembled.
"You asked me like we have just met." Ryoma continued to talk and at the same time he tightens his grip on Kylle's shoulder. Kylle's face begins to pale. He doesn't care about his shoulder. It was what Ryoma will say after that that he cares about.
"They are not going to hurt me anymore, Kylle. It was revenge time. That's mean I'm the one who will hurt them." Ryoma said as he was smirking devilish at his cousin.
That's it. Kylle broke into tears. I mean wailing as he was scared.
Ryoma let go of his hand on his cousin's shoulder. He walked to his table and sit down at his chair while opening a new Ponta.
William quickly hugged Kylle and tries to stop him from crying. "You stupid. How many times must I say not to say 'them' in front of Ryoma?" William said in his low voice.
"But..but I'm just concern. I mean no harm. Wahhhhhhh…!"
Ryoma sighed. He puts his Ponta on the table and walked toward his wailing cousin. He made an eye contact with William saying that to let go of Kylle. William does as he was told too.
Ryoma hugged his cousin. "I'm sorry, Kylle. Did your shoulder hurt badly?"
Kylle turned his wailing into sniffing sound. "No." He answered.
"I'm very sorry that I'm throwing my anger toward you. I'm happy that you concerns about me but I can take care of myself now, Kylle. I'm strong enough. So don't worry anymore."
Kylle nodded his head.
"Good. Now let go to doctor to take a look at your shoulder. I don't want avo*to scold me for making his cute grandson hurts."
Kylle nodded again.
~betrayed soul~
2 day later, Ryoma was going back to Japan, leaving his best friends and cousin at America.
"Neee William, I wish we can follow Ryoma to Japan. I mean who know what that Seigaku will do to him," Kylle said, whining.
"We will go there." William smiled.
"What? Are you crazy? Ryoma will kill us." Charle interrupted.
"Well, how about we use this then?" Wlliam throw an envelope at the table.
"What is this?" Antonio asked.
"Come on. Open it."
Antonio does as he told to.
Request For A Training With Abell Academy.
"What is the meaning of these?" Charle asked in confusion.
"That was a request from Hyotei Gakuen at Japan. Apparently, one week later Japan will hold a training camp to choose the best player from all over the Japan to represent Japan in upcoming tournament between Japan and U.S. Hyotei Gakuen has requested us, the Tennis Club's regular of Abell Academy to join them in the training."
"Sound suspicious for me." Antonio said, not liking the idea.
"Why us?" Charle looked at William.
"Because you know America has chose us, all regulars from Abell Academy to represent America. And Hyotei Gakuen wants us to practice with them without stating a reason." William explained.
"As always. Hyotei Gakuen's president is the cockiest person I ever heard." Charle said and then he realized one thing. "No, Ryoma is the cockiest person in this world."
"Well, apparently our coach is an uncle of that Hyotei Gakuen's president." William said.
Antonio and Charle smirking. "No wonder." They said in unison.
"Ok. If Ryoma scold us, we can say that our coach decided that practice…"
"But Ryoma will know that we are lying because agreeing to all requests from other school was his job." Antonio interrupted before William could finish his talk.
William glared at Antonia making that brunette flinched in fear. "Let me finish what I said."
Antonio nodded.
"We will say that the request came last minute so we have no choice and me, as the Vice President has to give an 'ok' reply since our coach said we can." William proudly said.
"Ok. But if Ryoma in his 'rage mode', you will be the one to take the consequence." Charle said while studying that sadist face.
"Don't worry. I know how to handle Ryoma." William chuckled. Ehem…he is having a sadist chuckle.
Antonio, Charle and Kylle trembled in fear. In this world, the scariest persons were Ryoma and William. And there is one more. Ryoma other cousin.
