If anyone asks me what day of the week, I dislike the most, I would answer Mondays, and it is not because I copy the phrase from a fat orange cat but because after spending two days relaxed, going back to school is tedious.
I'm on my way to school, the sky is a totally clear blue, or so it should be according to this morning's forecast, so it looks like it will be a day like any other.
My accident happened on Friday, so I stayed in the hospital until Sunday morning. Therefore, I did not miss any class, looking from the positive side, you could say that I was lucky. As missing class is a bit annoying, unlike in my previous life when if I missed a day of class there would be no problem. Here a teacher could take a pop quiz, and well, I want to continue to maintain my image as a model student.
Another difference if we compare both worlds would be the way to get to school, in my previous life I would have to take up to 2 vehicles to get there, here I only must walk a few minutes and I would reach my destination, in addition walking it also helps to exercise the body, so I can't complain.
If we mention another difference, it could be the educational level, although I was a university student, I had a hard time learning the subjects of my current school, since I was always good at letters, but bad at numbers, the good thing was that I could study seriously and as a result from being more mentally mature, it was not very difficult for me to take first place in my class and in school. Although show off it would be useless, after all, I am several years ahead of all the students in my school.
The classes themselves are common like any other school, we have classes, lunch, more classes and we retire to our respective houses, or so it should be, but students who are teenagers with active hormones go to other places after school like karaoke, videogames and among other places that average teenagers would visit. Although that is not my case, well it is 50/50 since after all, I have my training classes at the mixed martial arts academy.
Speaking of training, in the afternoon leaving school, I should visit different karate academies, after all, although it is not necessary, I would like to practice it a bit.
It is a goal of my past life, since it is part be part of the list, I had for things to do before I die, but I seem to get ahead of myself even before I start. If you wonder what was at the top of my list, that would be working to have enough money to travel to Japan, although now living there, it seems like a very easy goal to achieve, although for that I had to die, but it is not that I repent, if you thought about the past, you could not move into the future.
After thinking all the way, I could observe my school in the distance, I think it is time to continue with my normal student routine.
The bell rang indicating lunchtime. Since I do not have friends or people close enough to accompany them, I usually stay in the classroom and have lunch, or that should have happened if I had not forgotten it at home, I mean my lunch, it seems I forgot it.
Leaving home in a hurry, I suppose it had consequences, I will have to go buy something in the school cafeteria.
Since I was quick to the cafeteria, I did not have to queue, so it did not take me long to get my 2 yakisoba breads, it's better than starving all day.
When I went to one of the vending machines to buy a caffe Max, I could hear a discussion between 3 students, one of the voices seemed familiar to me.
''As I already told you, I will not buy your lunch again, if you want something, do it yourself''
''Do you think of disobeying my orders'' Said one of the girls raising her voice
''If I plan to do it, I will not let you give me more orders, nor will I accept your insults anymore'' replied one of the girls raising her voice, her voice sounded very determined. As if this has been something her has been thinking about it for a long time.
When I got closer, I noticed that the girl who answered was the same one from the hospital.
I suppose she takes my advice, but I am surprised that this girl is in my school, since I have never seen her, although it may also be because I spend lunch in the classroom, so it would be easy not to have met her before.
"Do you get a chance to be next to someone as cute as me, and that's your way of thanking me? You're just an ungrateful bitch, an ugly and horrible bitch". After saying this, that girl started to tease her, as if she expected the insults, she said to intimidate her. But that would not be the case, after all, the girl in front of her did not hesitate in her words.
''Your insults do not affect me, at the end of the day I am the one who chooses what I want to believe, so I do not have the obligation to accept your insults as if they were an absolute truth." Her words showed all the determination she had, if they told me that this girl was the same girl from the hospital, I would not believe it.
All this time she could put herself against those words that tormented her, but she could not do it alone, she needed someone who would tell her that all those words were lies and that it was her own decision to accept or deny them.
I am happy for her, she was able to overcome the fear she had for the insults of those girls, but it seemed that she had not finished her discussion yet.
''Oh, then you think you shouldn't take my words seriously, you are such an idiot for thinking that way. I just wanted you to accept how horrible you are so that you feel good about yourself.''
''There is no way I can accept such words from someone who only seeks to make me suffer, no more, after all, I have someone who thinks the opposite'' said that girl, she made an indirect mention to me. I couldn't help but smile at the thought the advice I gave this girl, because thanks to it, she could improve as a person.
Since I do not know her names, it is better to have a way to call them, they will be bitch 1 and bitch 2, after all those girls do not deserve any respect.
Both bitch 1 and bitch 2 were quite upset by the response from the hospital girl.
All this time they treated her like their pet, and now that she was revealing herself in front of them it was not causing them any happiness, it was to be expected, after all, those girls used it her to feel more self-confident by belittling someone else. You don't have to be smart to figure it out.
The more they argued, the more they began to raise their voices, it seemed that there would come a time when one would throw themselves on the other, but if that happened, she would be at a disadvantage, after all, she is in 1 vs. 2, and if this happened, she would have no choice but to intervene and things would get very troublesome.
I wanted to call her, but I did not know her name, so it would be very difficult to call her the girl from the hospital, so I opted for the easier option, in my opinion.
Which was to take her by the arm and lead her to another place.
When I started to get closer, she seemed to notice me.
''Tsurumi-kun'' she said with surprise in her voice, as if she did not expect to meet me so soon, I think the same. It was a surprise for me when I realized that we were studying in the same school.
Since I did not know her name, I could only reply with a simple hello.
"Hi, I see that you are busy at the moment, but I don't know if it would be too much to ask you to come with me." I said the first thing that came to mind, acting without a plan is very difficult.
My words seemed to surprise the 3 girls, bitches 1 and 2 were looking at me as if wondering who the idiot was who dared to interrupt their discussion.
''I finished my business with them, so I don't see why I shouldn't accompany you'' she said as if she had understood the sub-message, she wanted to give him.
Before bitches 1 and 2 said anything about it, I spoke up to interrupt them.
"I'll borrow from her friend. However, I shouldn't ask bitches like you two for permission, but I think it would be rude if I didn't say anything."
After saying this, I could see the anger on her faces. You can't blame me for my words since I only said what I saw. Coming out of the role of a background character felt a bit good.
I could hear the laugh of the girl next to me, as if what she had said was the funniest thing in the world.
"I'm not a friend with them, so you don't need to ask bitches like them for permission."
Wait, wait, I said it just for the moment, there was no need for you to insult them too, it seems like the girl I met on Saturday had disappeared, and now she was someone totally different.
Before bitchs 1 and 2 could respond, she took my hand and dragged me to the other side of the school. Before I left, I could notice the looks of hatred they were directing at us.
After walking for a while, we arrived at the student bicycle parking area, it does not seem to be a very busy area since at this moment there were only 2 of us in this area.
Now that we were both away from those girls and students in general, it would be better for me to start a conversation, but for some reason seeing her new behavior, made it a bit difficult for me, I think I can start by asking her why she insulted those two girls.
''You know, I think there was no need for you to insult them before we left''
''They have always insulted me, so I see no problem in insulting them too.''
"You are right, but if you respond to their provocations, it will only show that you are on the same level, and I know that you are better than them.''
"It's true, I think you're right"
And with this ended my poor attempt to generate a conversation, the atmosphere was silenced again, it was also uncomfortable, or at least that was my impression. I would have no problem being silent until lunchtime was over, but in her face, I could tell that she wanted to keep talking. So, I only had one thing left to do, improvise a topic of conversation.
"And have you already had lunch?" Although it may seem like a stupid question, since she was arguing with those girls the whole time, I doubt she had time for lunch.
"Not yet, I was going to go buy something at the cafeteria when I was interrupted, and if I went right now, there would be a very long line, and I could not get anything" I could hear a bit of annoyance in her voice, then she couldn't have lunch today because she was arguing.
"If this is to your liking, you can have one" I offered him one of my yakisoba breads, I guess after school I would have to buy something to eat in a store. First, I forgot my lunch, and now I have to spend double, this day couldn't be worse.
As if it was a sign from her, her stomach made a noise, indicating that she was hungry, so she looked away to avoid embarrassment.
''I guess I can have one." She said this even without looking at my face and accepted one of the loaves.
''You know you shouldn't be ashamed of that, it's a natural sound of the human body.'' I said this without thinking, which earned me a blow to the arm.
"It's also somewhat embarrassing" she said with her fist still close to me, as if to tell me that if I continued with the subject, I would earn another of his blows. I made the gesture of rubbing my arm as if her blow had hurt.
We spent the rest of the time eating silence, unlike the previous silence, this one was comfortable.
"I would like to thank you for helping me both today and in the hospital. If you had not said those words to me, it is likely that I would have continued to accept the insults of those girls." Her words were sincere, as if I was a kind of hero who came to rescue her at an important moment. Although I did not do anything like that, I only gave her simple advice, whether she accepted or rejected it was her decision. It was she who stood up to those girls, I don't deserve so much credit, after all, I'm just a background character, or so I want to think.
Or am I just overthinking it, after all, since I came to this world, I haven't done something as flashy as helping someone.
I guess I should answer something according to her words.
"I didn't do anything relevant, after all, you were the one who had to act, I just gave you simple advice." I didn't want to be credited for something as important as changing someone's life.
"But still, I thank you from the bottom of my heart, even if you think that the words you said to me that day are something simple. For me, they are not." Her words froze me. After all, in my opinion what I did is not relevant, but discussing that with her would not bring any benefit, so I decided to leave it there.
I knew her as a sad and depressed girl who accepted anyone's words, and now the same girl had rejected and even insulted her aggressors, if this were not a character development, I do not know what it is.
When I thought of asking her name, she rang the bell that marked the end of the lunch hour.
She hurriedly got up and prepared to go to her classroom.
"Thank you for everything, Tsurumi-kun" after saying this, she seemed to be in a hurry to leave, so after a few seconds she left my field of vision.
You could say that she indirectly helps someone, I am sure the service club would be proud of me, and with this thought I headed to my classroom.
Finally at home. I felt tired, I dedicated myself to looking for an academy during the afternoon, of the 9 academies near Chiba, I could only visit 8 since the other one was a bit far, and it was already late.
The academies that I visited could be that they were common, so they did not attract my attention. In some of them I decided to challenge the Sensei, ending the confrontation with my absolute victory. More than professionals, it was noted that they were only amateurs who created their academies as companies. I hope the academy, I visit tomorrow will be different from these.
But from what I could read about this academy, it is run by a former winner of a national karate competition, so I have high expectations for this place, even though it is far away.
But it's still better than the other academies that are run by beginners who couldn't even beat a 15-year-old student. Although I have to give the credit for this to my previous sensei, he was a great professional in mixed martial arts, besides sweeping the floor with me almost whenever I asked him for a confrontation, you could say that I was his favorite student, so he decided teach me some things that they would not teach in other academies, since you would not always expect that when someone attacks you they would follow the rules, so with their basic teaching plus their advice I decided to create something like my own fighting style, although it sounds somewhat difficult to believe. The constant practice since I was 8 years old and the effort, I put into it contributed a lot to my rapid development. It could be said that I became someone incredible referring to the field of combat, as a person, I think I have a lot to go.
The way to graduate from that academy was to defeat the sensei, many tried, but few succeeded. Of course, I am among the few who succeeded although if I said it were easy, I would be lying.
By taking advantage of a small oversight by sensei, I was able to land a critical blow giving me the victory, although my body all sore told me that it was not a total victory.
For this reason, being considered a master in this, my sensei told me that it was no longer necessary for him to keep coming, after all, he already taught me everything he knew. One part of me was happy about this, but the other part was sad after all I had a lot of fun, although the other students avoided having encounters with me, so I would only go on a few occasions to hang out. That is why I was looking for a new hobby, and karate was something that I always wanted to learn, so I was looking for a place that had at least someone competent.
I had a base in terms of karate, but not total knowledge, after all, I am more accustomed to contact in confrontations.
If in my previous life he had told me that I would be a great fighter I would have told them that they were crazy, but seeing how I am now it would be a reality that I would have to accept, although it did not bother me at all.
After all, if any unexpected event happened, I would be prepared and the last thing I want is for something to happen that I'm not prepared for.
You could say that one of my motivations for training was to prepare for any future events that were not planned, although this is in a light-novel world, nothing assures me that events of my own for a secondary character will not happen to me. Also, if I had the opportunity to hit Hayama, I would not hesitate to humiliate him, in my old life I read some fics of Hayama and Yukinoshita and let's say that it is not something easy to forget, so indirectly it gave me certain hatred towards him. In addition, our way of solving things is very different.
Enough rambling, I should start preparing dinner for myself and Rumi after all in my previous life I had to cook for my family, so I still have the talent to do it, although it was difficult for me to get used to the recipes of this place.
Tuesday morning, I was heading to school like any other day, hoping that today would be like any other day, this time if I didn't forget to pack my lunch, although it was cloudy, as if the weather indicated that today would be a bad day, that something bad would happen.
But those are just my thoughts, after all, by not having people to talk to, I get used to being in my thoughts and looking for the reason for anything around me, although I tend to do it more when I'm bored.
When I got to my locker to change my shoes, I saw a letter inside, this would be the moment when I would try to make sense of this letter.
First of all, I am a background character, so I do not usually draw attention to what I doubt is a typical love letter. On the front of the letter, it said ''for Tsurumi-kun'', and as far as I know, there is only one person who calls me like that, but I don't see the sense in which she sent me a letter, after all, we met and talked yesterday.
As if my suspicions were true, the content of the letter was typical of a confession letter asking me to go behind the school on departure.
Were the words I said enough to make her fall in love with me? Thinking about it would not make sense. She thanked me for my words of support, so this has little probability of being true, although there is a probability that it was also true, and if that were the case, I guess I would. I wouldn't mind dating someone like's her, after all, she was someone beautiful, and you could say that she had a good character although I'm not sure about that.
She has known me for a week, and would she already be in love with me? It doesn't make sense, but as I understand it, love doesn't make sense, so I didn't know what to think.
Although there is also the probability that she is a different girl, kind of a fan although I would have to find out in the afternoon.
And finally, there is the case that it was a joke just to make fun of me, and thinking about it logically, this may be the case, after all, yesterday I insulted those two girls, so it could be a kind of revenge for their part. It is not that I have a problem with this, after all, a simple joke like this does not affect me. Having more years of experience has its benefits, and, in this case, it would be the maturity of not taking this kind of thing seriously.
Those would be the 3 probabilities that come to mind. Logically, I think the third would be the correct one, but I guess I'll have to find out in the afternoon, so I just have to wait.
The day passed normally, there was nothing out of the ordinary.
It was time to go, so I proceeded to go behind the school to meet the supposed girl, although it could also be the case that instead of a girl it was a boy, no, that would be very strange and disturbing to me.
While I was thinking about stupid things, I got to the right place, as expected, there was no one, I guess I was right to assume it was a joke, or maybe I arrived very early, it is worth waiting a few minutes.
After waiting a few minutes, footsteps were heard, but it seemed as if they were from more than 1 person.
2 guys stopped in front of me, although it was a background character, there was no way that I would not recognize these two people, the one on the left was Yamato, the captain of the soccer team and the one on the right was Haruki, the captain of the team of basketball.
Anyone could refer to them as the epitome of a cool student, after all, they are popular with girls, as well as being the center of attention at sporting events.
At this point I had no idea what they wanted from me 2 people as popular as them, although connecting a few points I think I already know.
I guess I just have to continue my role as a secondary character to know how far this situation will reach although I can already imagine it, and I feel that it will not end well for me.
''Hello, are you expecting someone too?'' I asked such a common question that I was even surprised at how good I am at this.
''First of all, let me confirm something, you're Tsurumi-kun, right'' Yamato-san said this with a doubtful tone, well, it's normal, after all, I'm almost invisible to the eyes of the other students.
''Yes, it's me''. When I finished answering this, I could see how Yamato approached me to hit me in the stomach. Given this situation, I could calmly dodge him and then attack him; after all, it would not be an attack if they attacked me first.
But I decided not to do it since there was no reason for these two to hit me. So if I defended myself at this time, it would be my absolute victory, there is no doubt, but if I did that, it is likely that tomorrow I will be called to the address where I would be accused of beating these two.
I felt a brief pain in my stomach, if I had to compare them, it would be the strength of someone above the average of our age, but when training every day, these blows were somewhat insignificant if I compared them with the beatings that my sensei gave me when I trained with him. It is not that it did not hurt, but the pain did not take long to disappear.
During the time I studied at the university, I was in drama classes, so acting was not something new to me.
Knowing what role I should play, I could easily adapt, but I was always bad at improvising.
After his blow hit me, I started coughing like the blow took all the air out of me, although I only felt it slightly. After that blow, I could see how Haruki approached to hit me on the face.
I proceeded to fall to the floor like his blow had knocked me down. If this happened in a place other than the school at this time, both would already be on the floor begging for mercy, but unfortunately, it is not.
At the moment I was lying unfortunately on the ground, as if it were a dirty rag, both Yamato and Haruki approached me and began to kick me, well, this is already bothering me a bit.
"This is what you get for insulting Akira and Azami" Haruki said with a hateful tone.
It's the first time I've heard those names, but given the context in which they are mentioned, I suppose they refer to the two bitches from yesterday, an insult in exchange for a beating, something fair, in my opinion.
As I kept getting kicked by both of them, I could hear someone calling my name.
''¡Tsurumi-kun!''
? Pov
I was never a fan of Mondays, nor was I a fan of going to school, but at this point I was eager to attend. After my conversation with Tsurumi-kun, I already made up my mind, today I would confront Yamada and Yoshida, I would no longer bear their insults or be treated like a servant.
When I got to the classroom I could see them, Yamada Akira and Yoshida Azami, two girls that I knew since elementary school, at first they were friendly with me but as time passed they began to be cruel to me, they always insulted me and made me run errands and if I refused they only told me that I should be grateful to be able to accompany them, as I had no friends I thought that was the normal way to be treated. That was my worst mistake.
I thought that maybe in Middle School things would be different, I could make new friends and leave my problems in the past. That was my worst mistake; after all, they also entered the same Middle school as I did, giving the same result as in elementary school.
When I thought that you could not handle this anymore, he appeared Tsurumi Raiden. When I saw him for the first time, I distrusted him, but when I listened to him little by little I began to believe in his words. I was the one who decided what I wanted to believe; I would not accept other people's words as truth. I came to this answer thanks to Tsurumi-kun's words.
So, I decided to confront them today.
When I got to the classroom, the two girls called me, but I decided to ignore them. When it seemed that they were going to come to my seat, the bell rang, indicating the start of classes.
After several hours of classes, the bell rang indicating lunchtime, so both girls came to my seat.
''Ignoring us when we call, you are disrespectful, you know'' said Yamada.
''But what could we expect from a useless one like you, who cannot comply with a simple order'' said Yoshida.
If I was going to confront them, I didn't want it to be in a place with many people.
''Could you accompany me to talk outside?''
''Oh, it seems as if you have something to tell us, but is it something so secret that you can't tell us in the classroom? I guess I don't lose anything by following you, so be a good girl and guide the way, Azami, let's accompany her to hear what you have to tell us ''
"But make it quick so that later she can go buy our lunch."
I proceeded to guide them into a hallway that was near a vending machine.
''l be fine here''
''So, what do you have to tell us? What is so secret not to mention it in the classroom?''
''I will not hang out with you anymore''
''What do you mean by this?''
'' Don't interrupt me when I'm speaking Yamada'' I said this highlighting the last part.
''As you heard, I do not intend to continue interacting with people like you, as it does not bring me anything good''
''So, you say you don't want to keep hanging out with us''
"That's right, being with you doesn't do me any good.''
'' I suppose there's no problem with it, as long as you continue to obey us, you will no longer hang out with us, so be a good girl and go buy us something to eat''
Maybe they were stupid, I just told them that I no longer wanted to hang out with her, and they thought I would obey them, I started to get a little upset.
The next few minutes we began to argue, more than an argument, you could say that we were yelling at each other If a teacher appeared at this point, it would only bring trouble.
As if I were a prophet, some footsteps were heard, when I turned to see who it was, I could see a familiar face, a face that I am sure I could not forget.
''Tsurumi-kun'' I said his name without realizing it, I was totally surprised, I did not expect him to be a student from my own school,
When saying his name, both Yamada and Yoshida began to look at him as if he was a weirdo. For some reason, this bothered me.
Tsurumi-kun asked me to accompany him to another place and given the current situation I can imagine why. How does he do to be there in the moments when I need help?
Upon accepting his invitation, he mentioned something that surprised me, he called Yamada and Yoshida a bitch. Come to think of it, those names are perfect for them.
I couldn't help laughing at his words. Taking advantage of the fact that he said that I don't see why I shouldn't vent a bit with them as well.
"I'm not a friend with them, so you don't need to ask bitches like them for permission."
After saying this, I took him by the hand and led him to a secluded area.
I and Tsurumi-kun talked for a few minutes until he offered me one of it Yakisoba breads. When I was going to accept them, my stomach made a noise that made me feel ashamed. Because right at this moment and right in front of him, for some reason I wanted the earth to swallow me up right now.
I decided to accept his proposal, so I took one of the loaves.
"You know you shouldn't be ashamed of it, it's a natural sound of the human body."
Those words embarrassed me even more than I already was, so I hit him on the arm, I was able to do this normally as if I felt comfortable being next to him.
At no time did I think that I would see him again. The previous time I could not thank him for his words, so I decided to do it this time-
Although he was reluctant to accept my gratitude, in the end, he gave up and accepted it.
I felt happy, after all, I was able to thank him duly, I began to imagine some moments being with him, either having lunch or studying, and for some reason I started to get nervous.
As if it were a signal, the bell rang signaling the end of the lunch hour.
I was only able to say my goodbyes quickly as I felt as if the words weren't coming out of my mouth, so I opted to quickly retreat to my classroom.
When I got back to the classroom, I could feel the stares from Yamada and Yoshida, but I didn't worry about it after all, I already made it clear that I would never go out with them again.
The next day everything went normally, I decided to go out at lunchtime hoping to meet Tsurumi-kun again, unfortunately, I had no luck.
The bell rang indicating the end of the day, although this day would be far from over.
As I prepared to go home, Yamada and Yoshida approached me.
"What if you joined us for a while as a farewell?''
"Since he no longer wants to join us, it would be impolite if he turned it down, and I'm sure he will be interested in what he finds wherever we go."
Those words caught my attention, I can't think of something that catches my attention, but if it's the last time, I think I'll accept it.
"But it will be the last time" I said this raising my voice to show that it would be the last.
"Yes, no problem, I'm sure it will be the last time"
I followed them to the back of the school.
'' And what should I see? ''
"Don't be impatient, we'll get there in a moment"
At that moment I could see how 2 boys kicked one who was totally defenseless on the ground. When I got closer, I could see who it was, it was Tsurumi-kun.
"Tsurumi-kun" I yelled as I tried to get closer to help him, but both girls grabbed me.
"You better calm down, we just brought you here so you can be an observer and learn not to belittle us."
I could only see how they hit Tsurumi-kun several times, my chest started to hurt when I saw this. It was my fault, if only I had continued to obey them, I would not find myself in this situation. I couldn't stop the tears from starting to come out, one of the many blows popped his lip, and he started to bleed.
Right now, I was totally devastated, it was all my fault.
"Let him go, if you want to take it out on me, but let him go," I told them as tears came to my eyes.
"Yamato, Haruki, I think this is enough with this, they should have learned not to mess with us.''
After saying this, they both stopped hitting him. I didn't have the strength to stand, so I collapsed on the ground.
"I hope we will continue to get along"
"And I hope this serves as a lesson to you"
After they said this, the 4 of them left.
With all the strength I could muster, I managed to get up and approach Tsurumi-kun. I have to take him to the infirmary, or his situation could get worse.
But to my surprise, he started to get up, as if the beating they had given him had been nothing.
"Are you okay?" He asked, as if I was more important than his condition.
"We should go to the infirmary, those guys beat you because of me, so I should get away from you, so I don't cause you more trouble." After saying this, the tears started to flow again.
He approached me, I thought maybe he would take it out on me for bringing him trouble, I couldn't blame him if he did, but to my surprise, his hand touched my face wiping away the tears he had.
''You could stop thinking like that, none of this is your fault. If you wanted to blame someone, it would be the stupidity of those 4, also as you can see, I'm fine'' after saying this he began to stretch as if to further validate his words.
"Although it may not seem like it, I am quite tough. That day we met I was in the hospital because I fell from the stairs. So, you don't have to worry about me''
His words reassured me, but even a part of me kept saying that it was my fault and that I should get away from him so as not to cause him more problems. Thinking about this, I couldn't help but feel sad, after all, I felt comfortable being with him, but I had to walk away if I didn't want to bring him more trouble.
As if he was reading my thoughts, he dispelled my doubts with the next words.
'' As I said, you can stop thinking like that, none of this is your fault, also if you don't want to be near me, let it be by your own decision and not influenced by another person, after all that was not what you decided that day. So, if you gave up right now you would only be making fun of your own words, also like I said don't worry about me, all my actions are given because I decided them, if I was looking for someone to blame; I could not say that it was I who decided''
I didn't know how or why, but talking to him made me think clearly, Tsurumi Raiden, who you really are and how it is possible that your words have such an effect on me. Seems as if he had far superior knowledge for someone our age, as if he had already lived once, although this no longer makes sense, overthinking would only confuse me more.
''I wouldn't mind going to the infirmary to fix my lip right now, so I was wondering if you could come with me since my head is still spinning.''
"Not that you were strong enough hahahaha" I couldn't help but laugh
''It's not as if I'm a rock to get out unscathed, I'm a human, you know?''
"Okay, I understand, come and follow me, I will accompany you to the infirmary, it is the least I can do for you at this time"
As if I had something to say, I decided to interrupt.
"Don't think I'm doing it out of guilt or something like that, I'm doing it because I really want to do it." This it seemed cheers him up a bit, as I could see a smile on his face.
"Then, miss guide, I am in the care of him"
With this, we both went to the infirmary while we talked as if none of this had happened, but I was sure of something, tomorrow I would confront them about this, I will not let them bother him again.
Raiden Pov:
If you get hit in the body, and you are also going to train after that, chances are you will end up with pain in the whole body.
It was already late, and I had just left the karate academy, in the end I decided to enroll in it, the sensei was quite good at what he did, this time I did not challenge him to a fight because I was not in the most optimal condition and also that the rules, I learned don't apply equally to karate so it would be stupid of me to challenge it. Although I fought with the best students, I must say that I was totally surprised to find her there, after all, in the novel it is not mentioned that she has that hobby although I would assume it.
It was a pretty tough match, most of the time I was at a disadvantage, but since I have much more time training than her, it was obvious that I would end with my victory, although if I had been negligent, I would have lost
I guess I wouldn't mind befriending her, after having a duel with her, I realized she is just as she is described in the novel.
Someone once said that if you want to know how a person is, you must confront them, although I don't remember where I heard this, well, it doesn't matter.
While she was thinking about it, I could see 2 girls and 2 boys a few meters away, they were the same as in the afternoon.
If in my previous life they asked some of my friends what was the characteristic that defines me the most, I am sure they would answer, vindictive. When someone does something to me, I always make sure to give it back to them twice, and in this world, Is no exception.
4 high school students at this time of night in a somewhat dangerous place, no one could say anything if they were attacked by an undesirable person, that undesirable person was right here.
As I followed them down an alley, I put on my sweatshirt and covered my face with the hood.
If there is something I hate more than anything in the world, it would be seeing my loved ones hurt, I saw that girl as a reflection of my little sister. After all, seeing her cry reminded me of Rumi, so I can't help it.
All the pain in my body started to go away as if it also supported the idea I had in mind. I guess I'll get some exercise before I get home.
With a sinister smile, I started to approach them.
Having planned everything, I decided to approach one of the men in the group. Before he could do anything, I proceeded to hit him on the jaw with an upward blow, making him lose consciousness easily. Now you should understand how it feels to be hit in the face.
But they wouldn't have time to react, I grabbed Yamato by the neck and kneed him in the stomach, knocking him out of breath, then hit him on the head, knocking him unconscious automatically.
The two girls looked in horror at what happened. Before they could run, I held them by the neck, and strangled them until they lost consciousness. Although they resisted a bit, they could not do anything thinking that they could die.
If only they had taken it out on me, this would be enough as revenge, but they made her cry, she also said those words, that a day before she had said the opposite.
At the moment I am upset, although I am lucky that I found 4 sacks of meat
I think i mentioned that developed my own fighting style and that it would be a combination of martial arts with sheer brutality. Sensei described it as something monstrous, and it would not be valid in tournament fights, but for a self-defense situation or in a fight it was totally viable.
Yamato, the captain of the soccer team, someone quite popular, characterized by his strong shots with the ball, I must admit that he had decent strength in his legs, so I decided to break them, after all, he can't be a footballer if he doesn't have legs.
First, I held his legs exactly at the ankles and proceeded to kick directly in the knee, making his leg point to the unnatural side. I did the same with his other leg, as well as punching him in the face until he was completely bloody.
He woke up from the pain, but another blow to his head caused him to pass out.
Haruki, the captain of the basketball team, is characterized by his good aim and coordination with his arms. What he would do would be a simple thing, break both arms that he is proud of.
I grabbed his wrist and struck his elbow; this made his forearm point to an unnatural position. Unlike the other one, this one did not wake up, I suppose the blow I gave him was quite strong, a few blows to the face was enough to leave him totally devastated, I suppose I could have a future as a cosmetic doctor.
Finally, there were the two bitches, I suppose I could have a code not to hit them, but at this point it didn't matter anymore.
I decided to rub their beautiful faces against the rough ground, then step on their heads, destroying their noses on the spot.
After this I took away all their valuables to make it look like they were attacked and for trying to defend themselves they were beaten.
I used one of their cell phones that fortunately did not have a password to request an ambulance, after all, leaving them here could be dangerous and things could get complicated. Therefore, it would be best to ask for help as if you were a passerby in this situation.
After calling the ambulance, I started destroying the phones and then throwing them into a nearby trash can.
With this matter over, I suppose I can invite that girl to lunch at a restaurant, after all, I have extra income, so it would be bad if I didn't share it. I must say that to be students they have a lot of money with them.
I would like my parents to give me this amount of money too. Speaking of parents, I better hurry to go home since I don't want to worry Rumi. When I got home, she asked me why I had a band-aid on my lip. I could only say that her stupid brother tripped and broke his lip. I didn't know whether to be happy because she believed me or sad because she accepted that I was stupid enough for this to happen.
With this thought, I began to walk home.
