Chapter 35: What's Happening With Haru?


While Alex, Bill, and Legosi were attending to matters in the black market, Haru was sitting down at Judy's residence. Apparently the bunny cop had some family that lived in Cherryton and she was staying with them. They were out at the moment though. She finished drinking the tea Judy had made for her and downed her glass of ice water, clearing her throat.

"You promised me that you'd help me learn to never be afraid of predators ever again, Judy. So let's start.", Haru said.

Judy nodded. "Of course! Come with me to the exercise room.", Judy told her friend. The two bunnies walked to the back room. Inside, there was a weight lifting station, a punching bag, and other equipment.

"How's this going to help with me getting over my instincts?", Haru wondered.

"I'm going to train you to be able to fight, Haru. I'll teach you to fight as only a bunny can.", Judy explained. Haru was intrigued.

"As only a bunny can?", Haru wondered, curious to know what the officer meant by that.

"Exactly! As bunnies, predators underestimate us. When I first joined the force, no one believed that I was capable of being a cop, not even my family! Well, except for Alex. But having your opponent underestimate you is a really good thing! And there are perks to being short like this.", Judy replied.

Haru scoffed. "Are you kidding me?! What could possibly be good about being short?!", Haru complained. A devious smile appeared on the gray rabbit's face.

"Well, three foot three inches to three foot six inches is the waist height for a lot of carnivores. And what do carnivores have near their waist area?", Judy reminded Haru.

The student gasped as she put two and two together. "It's the perfect height for grabbing their dicks!", Haru exclaimed. Judy's eyes widened, and she chuckled nervously.

"Well, I was going to say that it was the perfect height to grab their tail.", Judy replied. Haru nodded for Judy to keep going.

"There's other ways for us bunnies to get around our shortness. It's all in the legs, you see.", Judy continued. To emphasize her point, the heroine bent her legs down and sprung up, her ears touching the ceiling. Judy then ran up to the wall, started to walk off of it, then jumped off of the wall and did a front flip in midair. She pulled her left leg back and extended her right, getting into a high jump kick position while still airborne.

"Hi-yaaah!", Judy cried out as her leg slammed into the sandbag, rolling as she hit the ground and quickly got back up on her feet. Haru's eyes were extremely wide, and the white dwarf rabbit's jaw was agape in amazement and awe. She began to clap excitedly for her mentor, extremely impressed by the maneuver that her mentor just pulled off.

"That… was… FANTASTIC! There's no way I could ever pull off something like that!", Haru cheered. Judy blushed before giving Haru a smile and a thumbs up.

"I bet you could do that same move, Haru! It just takes practice, strength, and speed.", Judy assured her protege.

Haru took that into consideration. Now, for the first time ever, she had an idea of what her future could be. And Judy believed in her. Haru couldn't remember the last time she had a rabbit as a friend. She decided that she would truly follow in Judy's footsteps and become a female badass just like her.

"Where do I start?", Haru asked. Judy smiled. They would have a lot of work ahead of them, but it would pay off in the end.


A few weeks later, Legosi tries to make progress on the investigation, but it backfires severely on the poor grey wolf as he ends up in the fight of his life! Alex receives an ominous warning from the specter of Tem and races to reach Legosi in time! The climax of the first half of the Who Killed Tem arc begins next time on BEASTARS: Converging Destinies!
