Chapter 104: Police Academy Arc Wild Police Story CASE, Part One

Some time later...

The sound of something dropping onto the floor in his room and an 'ow' alerted Amuro.

"Fumio-kun?" the older man looked in and noticed the sniffling boy seated on the ground with a photo album in front of him. "Is that..." he picked up the album and a stack of old photographs scattered on the ground.

"Tou-san, I'm sorry." Fumio looked at his father apologetically. "It's just that kaa-san never told me anything the police academy..."

"In that case... Amuro sat his son on the edge of his bed and flipped open the photo album.

Seven years prior to present day...

"I'm surprised you're still standing after taking my punches." 22-year-old Furuya Rei remarked, having a fist-fight with a similarly 22-year-old Matsuda Jinpei.

"I could say the same thing." Matsuda spat out his false tooth. "Blondie."

"I don't know what it is about me that you don't like." Furuya stated, both males leveling a punch across each other's cheeks. "But I have to become a police officer. Don't get in my way."

"There it is." Matsuda snorted. "That I-love-cops attitude is what I hate about you."

"That's ridiculous." Furuya muttered. "You joined this academy so you could become a police officer, too."

The pair then threw another punch at each other.

In the male's dormitory..

Morofushi Hiromitsu awoke from his nightmare to the sound of knocking on his door. "Who could it be at this hour? It's two in the morning. Zero?" he spotted his huffing best friend against the wall outside.

"Sorry, Hiro." Furuya started. "I ran out of band-aids. If you've got any, could you share some with me?"

"How did you get those injuries?" Morofushi pressed.

"Someone picked a fight with me, so I fought back." Furuya replied.

"They really got you good." Morofushi admitted. "So, think you'll be able to get along with them?"

"You must be joking." Furuya retorted.

"Wait in my room." Morofushi relented. "I'll go get the medicine box from the infirmary; I believe the 'Cool Beauty' is still on night shift."

"Oh, her?" Furuya quirked a brow.

"It must be quite frustrating for you, Zero." Morofushi chuckled. "To be outdone by a girl."

"Shut up." Furuya muttered. "I owe you one."

The next morning...

"Assemble in three columns." Date Wataru barked out during morning assembly. "Onizuka's class, attention!"

"What happened to your faces, Matsuda, Furuya?" Instructor Onizuka Hachizo asked.

"You wanna hear the story?" Matsuda joked.

"Last night, a bunch of cockroaches appeared in the room." Date cut in. "They were so caught up in exterminating them that they hit their heads on desks. They had a terrible time."

"I see." Instructor Onizuka drawled.

"That said, as punishment for damaging school furnishings, Onizuka's class will run an extra lap." Date offered the penalty.

"Jinpei-chan," Hagiwara Kenji pulled up beside his friend. "What happened to your face? You've ruined your good looks."

"Shut up, Hagi." Matsuda retorted.

"You even lose your false tooth." Hagiwara joked. "It's hilarious. That Furuya guy's pretty tough. He put up quite a fight, and you were trained by your pro boxer dad. So, who won?"

"Obviously..." Matsuda chuckled.

"I did." both Furuya and Matsuda chorused.

"Are you sure getting hit too many times didn't make you lose your mind?" Matsuda glared.

"Are you talking about yourself?" Furuya fired back.

"What was that?" Matsuda snapped.

"I don't know what happened between you guys, but invite me to join you next time." Date intervened.

"Instructor Onizuka, you've taken in some troublesome students." the aged academy instructor remarked. "Not only that, but five at once."

"I drew the short end of the stick this time." Instructor Onizuka sighed. "They're a peculiar bunch. I'm worried about the future."

During lunch...

"Here you go, one chicken and egg stir-fry meal with a small serving of rice." the cafeteria auntie served up Morofushi's order.

"You're going to sit there?" Matsuda looked up from his curry rice as Morofushi proceeded to take a seat at his table.

"If no one's sitting here, doesn't mean this seat is open?" Morofushi asked.

"Here." Furuya handed a glass of water over. "You've been spacing out a lot recently."

"Why are you sitting here, too?" Matsuda complained.

"Isn't this seat open?" Furuya wondered.

"I'm hungry." Date took a seat at another table.

"Team leader, I don't want this." Morofushi handed his bowl of miso soup over to Date. "You can have it."

"Have you got any sauce at this table?" Hagiwara inquired, his lunch tray in hand.

"Here." Date passed over the soy sauce. "I thought procuring supplies was your specialty."

"Jinpei-chan, you're ruining your good looks." Hagiwara teased.

"What are you doing?" Matsuda stammered, seeing the handkerchief thrust into his face. "Mind your own business."

"Hagiwara-kun." the female recruits sang. "Can we eat lunch with you?"

"Of course." Hagiwara beamed. "Ami-chan, come eat with us." he spotted Ami walking pass.

"Pass." said academy 'Cool Beauty' refused.

"Aw, come on." Hagiwara whined.

"Hagiwara-san, please remember my condition." Ami reminded the flirtatious recruit. "And how has that worked out for you for the past five times?"

"Condition?" Matsuda looked at his best friend as Ami walked off.

"Mizuno-chan agreed to join us for lunch on the condition that I win against her in swimming." Hagiwara moaned. "How was I supposed to know she's an Olympic-class swimmer?"

'"EH!?" the others choursed in surprise.

"So, you and kaa-san..." Fumio started.

"We won't dating at that time." Amuro chuckled. "At that time, your kaa-san had this... unapproachable air around her."
