Chapter 7 - Punishment

"You may be acting all cool and tough right now but you're still going down transferee for disrespecting your seniors!"

Immediately they all ran at me at the same time but when they tried to attack me they took turns trying to hit me on all sides, but before they could surround me I Chambered my leg rounding up for a side kick while one of them running towards me, at the right moment I Immediately kicked him, I felt his ribs on my foot "I think I cracked some of his ribs" I thought. 

Crack! "That hurt! You!... you're going to pay!"

The other seniors were all just watching him attack me by himself but...

"It's useless..."

I immediately gathered up my strength for a jab from the right and followed up with another jab from the left to his jaw Another jab to his stomach area and finished him off by grabbing him by the collar and pushing him to two of his other friends there were only two left.

I then bolted to one of the remaining seniors, I Readied my arms for another series of strikes to him in a blink of an eye, But by the time he realized, He was too late. I hurled my right arm a jab to the front of his temple then immediately followed up with another to the opposite and another and another, on the third attack he managed to block it but his defense was quite weak I threw an uppercut from my left to change the pace.

"What's the matter, senior? Don't tell me all of those taunts were for show."

"Y-you Bastard, Don't think you'll get away with this!" Gaaah!

As he looked around him seeing all his friends all on the ground unconscious, He tried to counterattack by throwing a jab at me but he was too exhausted from blocking my attacks, I stepped out of the way of his attack and missed, His body immediately followed over his exaggerated punch and kneeled over with his hands on the ground. Panting and wheezing at the same time.

"Get up," I said while he noticed I was looking down on him literally.

"Y-you fucking bastard!!!"

He threw another Exaggerated strike from above but he was getting slower with every move he makes.

"This fight was already over when you tried to extort me the second time, Now you're just being pitiful. Don't worry I'll save you from the embarrassment."

I immediately threw a swift kick to his stomach area that sent him flying 15 feet away.

"In the end, you guys are not even worth a warmup."

As I was walking away from the scene, A strange figure that I didn't see earlier peeking from the corner

suddenly ran away.

"What the fuck was that? A professor? No, If it was a professor they would've reported me by now so maybe a student? Shit this is not good, I was thinking of laying low but someone already saw me fight some assholes, Rumors would spread." I immediately tried catching up to the mysterious figure, But by the time I turned around the corner, the figure was already gone.

"... Well, I hope no bad rumors about me would go around the campus."

[RING!!!]

"I guess it's time for my class to start." What a start I thought.

           

                                                            ***

As I was walking around the hallway trying to find my class... I got lost... So I had to ask someone for directions, thankfully I managed to get to my class in time, As I passed through a window at lunchtime, I saw something unexpected, I saw Hotaru In the Campus garden talking to other girls, I knew Hotaru was one of the youngest members of the Mishiki Clan, as she was a highschooler but to think She also studies in the same school as me. 

"I was even planning on going to school without standing out too much." Sigh.

Suddenly someone tapped my shoulder out of nowhere, I jolted and screamed "No need to be that scared Shou-Kun."

"K-Kayo, Don't scare me like that!"

"HAHAHAHA! My bad Shou-Kun."

To think my best friend from high school Kojima Kayo would also come to the same school as me although I heard from him beforehand that he would also go to the same college as me back in my past life so I shouldn't be surprised.

"Then what are you spacing out in the hallways for?"

"Nothing, I was just lost in thought for a minute."

"Are you going to the cafeteria?"

"Yeah, are you going there too?"

"Obviously, dumbass why else would I be going the same direction as you."

"Sorry, I'm still kinda lost in thought earlier." I laughed it off afterward

"What did you see a ghost from the window or something?"

"N-not really, Don't worry about it."

"... You're being strange right now Shou-Kun."

"Yeah, He's right."

"WHA-"

Without notice, Hotaru Came out of nowhere in front of us. Hotaru looked at me with a smug look and then came closer to me and whispered in my ear. 

"You think I didn't notice you from below earlier? I wouldn't have noticed you if you weren't taking your sweet time by the window talking to your friend." She said with a smug look.

"Um, Shou-Kun Who's this girl? Don't tell me she's your girlfriend!?"

"As if!" She yelled.

"No! She's not my girlfriend!"

"I know, I know, I was just joking around. Then do you know her?"

"Y-You could say that."

"Ehhh Where from? How'd you meet her are you guys co-workers or something?"

"Yeah, technically we are co-workers, Right Shou-Kun?" She said with a mocking tone.

"Y-yeah... We are co-workers."

"You what are you plotting right now," I whispered to her.

"I know you're trying not to stand out, So I thought I could help you." 

"Y-You..."

"Well How about you mister, What's your name?"

"Oh, right I almost forgot, I'm Kojima Kayo, Nice to meet you, What about yours?"

"My name is Kitagawa Hotaru, Nice to meet you too. Also, mister did you know that Senior Matsuoka is-"

"OKAY, THAT'S ENOUGH WITH INTRODUCTIONS HOW ABOUT WE GET SOME LUNCH? Come on Kayo Let's get something to eat before our lunch period is over." I yelled while trying to drag him away.

"Eh? Are you sure It sounds like Hotaru was trying to tell you some-"

"Nope, You're probably imagining things."

"W-well if you say so and stop dragging me."

"Ah, My bad."

"T-this is really a bad start right now if they all found out I'm part of the yakuza I won't be able to get any time for peace and quiet from other people in the school making rumors about me and kayo might avoid me if he did find out. These troublesome problems won't end."

/Sigh/
