On the next day…
Yankumi checked the attendance. Takeda was not present. Hayato, Tsuchi, Ryu and Hyuuga were worried because it is unusual for him to be absent. After the class, they decided to find Takeda.
They searched for him in the possible places that he can be found but while they are walking, they saw him being bullied by the students of Yamabuki Gakuen. They quickly ran to him and helped him. The Yamabuki students immediately escaped.
"Take, are you okay?" Hayato asked.
"N…no… I was hurt badly." Takeda replied. Tsuchi and Ryu helped Takeda to stand.
They went to the hospital to cure Takeda's bruises and wounds.
Next day…
Takeda attend the classes, Yankumi asks, "What happened to you, Takeda?"
"No… It's nothing." Takeda replied.
Yankumi was worried because she thought that Takeda had a fight yesterday.
After the class…
Hayato, Ryu, Tsuchi, Hyuuga and Takeda go to there usual hangout but before they arrived, Akutsu appeared in front of them, together with the one's who fought Takeda yesterday.
They just ignore and pass by them but Akutsu challenged them to fight him and his classmates. He goes near to Hayato and hold his shoulder and said, "How about one-on-one fight against me?"
Hayato punches Akutsu's face and said, "Don't touch a person you don't know."
Akutsu's classmates attempt to help him but he said, "Don't help! I can handle this." He stands up and punches Hayato's face simultaneously.
Ryu, Tsuchi, Hyuuga and Takeda tried to help Hayato but Akutsu's classmates blocked them and fought them.
After few minutes…
Akira Akimoto enters the scene. He punches Akutsu's face then yelled, "Stop it! If you guys try to continue this I'll fight with you one by one."
Akutsu's classmates run away. "I'm not afraid of you. Can't you see this guy didn't hurt me that bad?" Akutsu boasted and referred to Hayato.
"So what? Don't compare me with Hayato." Akira replied.
"Okay, then let's see next time, if you can beat me." Akutsu replied while walking away.
"Guys are you okay?" Akira asked them.
"We're not that hurt badly but Hayato is." Tsuchi, Ryu, Hyuuga and Takeda said.
Akira looked at Hayato and helped him stand up but he ignored him. Tsuchi, Ryu, Hyuuga and Takeda help Hayato to stand then goes to their usual hangout.
"I should have ignored you guys." Akira said then walks away.
