'Maybe it's all a coincidence,' I thought. I mean, what are the chances of actually getting Isekai'd. The fact that I was standing in front of a school called Kuoh Academy right now wasn't helping. Or the fact that I could see a group of kids with hair colors matching the visible light spectrum. A certain redhead and a spiky brown-haired guy caught my attention.

"Huff, huff."

'God damn, this body is weak.'

Matsuda, I, and the girl had to rush to school after being questioned by the police at the police station.

'Man, is this kid some sort of Olympic medalist?'

The girl didn't have the speed or stamina to keep up with us, so Matsuda picked her up and carried her on his back, sprinting to school with me running behind them. The distance from the police station to school wasn't short either.

He was huffing and sweating a little while I had both of my hands on my knees, gasping for air. The girl Hase was blushing up a storm on Matsuda's back.

"Hey Matsuda, you should probably let the girl down."

"Oh, yeah, right." He let Hase down from his back.

"T- thank you!"

The girl Hase bowed to us before running off somewhere, probably to class.

"We should get going as well," I said, standing up and started walking towards the entrance.

Matsuda followed wordlessly behind me, but I made sure to slow down a little so that he was a step in front of me so that I could follow him. I didn't know which class or classroom we had, after all.

I followed Matsuda wordlessly until we went inside a classroom. I scouted the class with my eyes, looking for the doors, windows, walls, and the students. It was a normal school classroom. Some of the students, especially the female ones, gave me and Matsuda a glare before returning to do whatever they were doing.

"Issei! How could you hang out with the occult club without us!"

Matsuda was yelling at Issei, who was sitting at the back of the classroom at the windows.

"Sorry guys looks like I won't be able to peep with you guys today, I'm kind of busy after all," Issei said with a smirk on his face.

Matsuda was about to say something but was interrupted by another voice.

"My my looks like somebody is jealous." It was some brunette girl with slightly messy hair tied into braids on each side. I stared at her eyes, it was interesting to see golden eyes. I've never seen that before.

"What are you doing here, perverted glasses?" I started to ignore the conversation from there. I was looking for a place to sit, but I couldn't find any. I'm pretty sure that we had arranged seats, so I was waiting for everybody to sit down first.

It's been a long time since I've gone to school. Not that my school days were happy anyways.

"Well, you seem out of it, Motohama," The girl appeared before me, she looked at my crotch area before speaking. "It seems like you grew a little down there, is that why you've been so out of it?"

I honestly didn't want to have a conversation with her right now. After getting Isekai'd, I had way too much to think about.

"Is there anything you want, or are you just here to comment on my manhood?"

She sniggered a little. "I can hardly call that manhood."

"You know, maybe I'm a grower, not a shower. And from what I see, you are one of the smallest ones in school, and unlike men, I'm pretty sure women don't grow that way. So maybe you should talk to somebody your own size." Honestly, she wasn't small at all, but in this world, it seemed like every woman got a buff, so she could be considered small in this world.

Everybody in class looked at me after that insult, whispers were quickly spread amongst them.

A second later, the teacher walked into the classroom. He was of average built with glasses and black hair. Everything about him screamed average, but I felt like I knew him.

"Alright, class settle down."

After some classes, we now had lunch, which was nice to finally have a break for once. My mind has been running a million thoughts since morning.

I was actually kind of happy to be back in school, I can finally have a new fresh start at school again and not repeat the same mistakes. It was not all sunshine and rainbows though. I was likely to have trouble with every single class, except for math and English.

If getting a job in Japan really is as hard as it is in Manga and Anime, I really need to work hard. And then came military service, I wasn't sure if Japan had mandatory military service or not, but I would rather not go back there.

I could try to plagiarize a bunch of books and movies from my own world but, I wasn't sure if this world already had different versions of it here. I saw SubWay on the way to school, but it was spelled as SoubWay instead.

"Hey, Matsuda, do you know any famous western books or movies?" I asked Matsuda, who was sitting beside me.

"Huh? No, not really. Anyways can you lend me some yen? I forgot to pack my lunch and, I don't have any money on me."

"I forgot to pack my lunch, so I need the money as well, go ask Issei instead."

"Grr, Issei left to go get lunch with the occult club, I can't believe he just left us in the dirt after scoring some got points with them. After everything we've been through as well." He said angrily, but something told me that he was fine with it.

"Just forget about him, kid. If he is just gonna leave his friends for some other group, leave him be. Are we really gonna try to follow a guy who leaves his friends in the mud?"

He gave me a small suspicious glance. "That's awfully mature of you, calling me kid as well."

"Anyways, how about a bet?" He raised an eyebrow. "I'll give you money for lunch if you win against me in a fight."

I honestly just wanted to fight, the way he fought those molesters before was extremely cool, and I wanted to see how it would feel to fight like an action hero.

He looked a little unsure, but his growling stomach told me the answer before he could.

"Ah, fine. You know that I can fight now anyways." He told me a little annoyed, before standing up and leaving.

I followed quickly after him, and we went behind the building where there was no one else to see us fight.

"Alright then, what are the rules?" He asked me.

"I don't know, just fight until one of us gives up or something."

"Are you sure about this, do you even know how to fight?" He questioned me.

I put up my fists as an answer.

"Whatever, I'm hungry, so I might as well finish this quickly."

A fist went straight towards my face, I quickly weaved my head to the side and sent an uppercut to his side.

Bam

He looked surprised but not very affected by my punch.

He threw a hook at me that I ducked under the hook, and sent an uppercut to his chin.

His head reeled back, but it still seemed like it didn't affect him.

This went back and forth for a while, me dodging and counter-attacking, while he attacked.

"Huh, seems like you can fight after all Motothama, but you're holding back, aren't you?"

"So are you."

He sent me a grin before throwing another hook at my face, with much greater speed than before. I barely managed to back-step from. I could practically feel the air from his hook on my face.

"Put your guard up!"

I reacted on instinct and felt a huge blow on my arms.

BAM

After putting down my arms, I saw the distance between us. Matsuda was standing with his fist stretched out, while I was a small distance away from him.

This kid, did he just make me slide from a punch? I know this is the anime world where everyone's power gets boosted, even normal people, but holy shit!

My arms feel like they were hit by a sledgehammer. I closed the distance between us and engaged in fisticuffs against him.

BAM

BOOM

The sounds that we made did not feel natural, I got a lot more hits in than what he did, but when he hit me, he hit me HARD.

It was obvious that he has fought before, but he didn't seem trained. He fought like a street fighter, which was lucky for me. If he would have learned boxing, I would probably be dead by now.

BAM

I had much better technique than what he did. But he was so much stronger than me physically, faster as well. The only reason that I managed to dodge his punches was that I could read his shoulder before he would throw a punch, when his fist went flying, I could barely even see it.

But as I fought him, I realized something.

I was never this good at boxing, was I?

I was obviously good at boxing, I've trained in boxing a lot, but this was just unnatural. The speed at which I could read his shoulders was superhuman. The time I take to react to that information was unnatural as well. It was as if...

As if my skill has been increased.

I backstepped quickly before push-kicking him in the stomach, creating some distance between the two of us.

How about my kicks then?

As he was trying to close the distance between us, I sent a high kick at his face. While he was taller than me, my legs were longer than his arms.

POW

He managed to block my kick.

"Taekwondo huh?"

"You recognize it?"

"Well, let's just say that I have fought a lot of different people." He told me. "But you're still holding back aren't you?"

"You're also holding back, and we don't really want to hurt each other, don't we?

We continued with our fight, it was a lot harder for me to fight now tough. I had to constantly maintain distance between us, as he tried to get closer.

Only kicking him isn't going to work.

Matsuda threw a jab at my face that I barely managed to dodge, before grabbing a hold of his extended arm and throwing him over my shoulder. He landed on his back hard on the ground, air escaping his lungs.

I backed up before preparing for a move I never thought I would do in a fight.

I ran up to him jumping in the air, trying to spin as much as possible before extending my leg at his face.

BAM

I never would've been able to do this before my skills got increased.

"Wow, that was really cool, Motohama." Matsuda managed to catch my leg with his hand. His hand gripped down tighter on my leg.

Holy shit, this grip strength!

I barely had time to react before he slammed me into a wall.

"Gah, fuck. Are you even human?" I said while standing up.

To have such fucking strength, is he a devil? I don't think so, otherwise, Issei would have acted differently around him. He was also a human in the anime, but this world might not be exactly the same as the anime.

I was aware that humans were more than capable to lift a person their own size with their hand in the anime but to think that this is something a schoolboy can do.

I know that the light novel stated that he was an athlete that broke several school records, but damn.

I need to take this more seriously!

He sent a punch towards my face, which I realized he had a habit of doing, so instead of dodging, I put my elbow right before my face.

BAM

I skidded several feet back from the blow.

I was blocking with the elbow, but I feel like I hurt more than what he did. His fingers should have cracked!

I ran towards him as fast as I could, throwing my elbow on his chin.

SMACK

His head whipped to the side, but yet again, it didn't seem to do too much damage.

"Muay Thai as well? Are you really the guy who ran to me when he got bullied as a kid?"

This guy is a fucking tank! I need to get him on the ground, most street fighters are awful on the ground, and I honestly think that's the only way I can win.

As we were about to engage in a fight again, we got interrupted by the school bell.

We both looked at each other, before sighing and dropping our stances.

"Agh, fuck, I guess there goes lunch," Matsuda said. "But I definitely won tough, so hand over the money."

"Are you kidding me? I won easily."

"By points maybe," he laughed. "But I definitely could have KO: ed you whenever I wanted."

"Yeah, yeah, keep dreaming." I quipped back.

With that, we went to class.

We got immediately sent to the nurse's office. As soon as we got to class, the teacher told us to go to the nurse's office.

We were bot covered in bandaids and bandages. I had a particularly big bandage on my right arm. Matsuda somehow cut my whole arm with a jab that I blocked. How he managed to cut skin with a fist, I wasn't even going to ask.

"Hey, Motohama?"

"Yeah?"

"Where did you learn how to fight?"

"Oh, I just watched some tutorial videos online," I said with a completely straight face.

"Really?" He asked me questionably "Must be one hell of a prodigy then, this is the first time in a long time that I've tried so hard fighting someone."

"About that, do you usually fight? Are you a delinquent?" I asked him. He looked uncomfortable, so I decided to let the matter go. "You don't have to answer that question if you don't want to."

"Thank you," He was smiling, looking down on the ground.

"Hey, Matsuda?" He looked at me. "Why did you do that in the morning? You know, jumping in to save that girl Hase like some sort of protagonist from an anime."

"Oh, I just, I... I just thought that what they were doing was wrong. You know how we are Motohama, the rules of the Perverted Trio, look but no touch."

"How about not looking either?"

"Huh?" He gave me a confused look.

"How about we stop peeping? Let's stop Matsuda. Let's be better people and change our life for the better."

"Oh, I would, I would like that." He sounded genuinely happy.

"Let's start by apologizing to everyone who we've peeped from now on."

"Apologizing?" He asked, confused.

"What we did was wrong, Matsuda. Those girls could have us arrested, whenever they felt like it with a single police call. And they would have the whole school as eyewitnesses. Yet they chose not to."

Matsuda laughed at that. "Yeah, let's do that." He gave me a bright smile that reminded me of someone else.

He held out a fist bump to me.

This guy, there's so much more to him than the 'random friend character who gets thrown away.'

I returned the fist bump.

And that's it, folks. Sorry that it took so long but, I've been busy.

And yeah, in the rewritten version I actually have backstories planned for some characters.

Yeah, Matsuda is actually going to have a backstory in this fic. Honestly, he is the only person who has a planned backstory that I like. I have other backstory planned for other characters, but they are constantly changing, except for Matsuda's, which has stayed the same.

This is because Matsuda's backstory is the only one that I like.
