BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
Reikou opened his phone—shocked—
"MEIYU IS IN DANGER!!"
It was a message from Yueko:
"Hey, Reikou... After we left, I saw some boy talking about getting revenge on Meiyu—the same boy who proposed to her during break time. He might try something... I think she's in danger. Come fast! I saw one of his friends chasing her down the street near the playground!"
—YUEKO
"Wh-what?! Why would they want revenge on Meiyu?"
Then it hit him.
"Ohh, I remember. The boy who proposed to her during break time... He warned her back then."
That boy—
His name was Shiun Zhenya.
He had confessed to Meiyu during break time, but she rejected him... and slapped him. After that, he warned her:
"You silly girl—I'll see you later."
But Meiyu had ignored it.
"Oh god... She's in danger!"
Reikou whispered in frustration,
"What do I do now?!"
But there was no time to think.
"If I just stand here, it'll be too late. I have to run—NOW!"
He bolted toward the door.
"But Mr. Yinglan—"
No, he didn't care.
"I don't care—I'm coming, Meiyuuu!!"
He shouted as he sprinted outside.
Meanwhile, Mr. Yinglan was on his way to check whether Reikou was working or not when he saw him sprinting at full speed.
"Where are you going—?!"
But Reikou didn't stop. He dashed past Mr. Yinglan without even responding.
Mr. Yinglan was stunned for a moment before chasing after him.
"Shit—he's fast! Ah, now I get it… He's late every day, so he's been training to run like this!"
But Reikou was far ahead.
"I'm coming—don't worry, Meiyu!"
He reached the school gate—locked.
No hesitation.
He jumped over the wall in one swift motion.
Mr. Yinglan gasped, watching in disbelief.
"Hey—WAIT!!" he shouted after him, but Reikou was already gone.
On the other side, Meiyu was walking home peacefully, unaware that she was being followed.
A voice called out from behind her.
"Oi! Meiyu!"
She turned back.
Three boys stood there.
Among them—Shiun Zhenya.
"What are you doing here, Shiun?" she asked.
Shiun stepped forward, his eyes dark.
"You... You made a big mistake. It was fine to reject me. But you slapped me. In front of everyone."
His voice was low, but laced with anger.
"I warned you."
They moved closer.
Meiyu instinctively stepped back.
Her expression remained firm—no hesitation.
But inside, she knew the situation was bad.
There were three of them.
And she was alone.
GWWWW! YEWW!
Reikou was almost there.
His heart pounded.
His breath was heavy.
He ran like he was cutting through the wind—faster than ever before.
He saw them—
Shiun reached out toward Meiyu—
She backed into a wall.
Nowhere left to go.
"Don't you dare touch me!" she shouted.
Shiun smirked.
"No, it's done now."
He reached for her—
Almost—
But suddenly—
A strong hand gripped his wrist.
Tightly.
Shiun winced.
The grip was hot, veins bulging.
Shiun turned his head—
Reikou.
His presence felt like an activated volcano.
"How… how dare you touch her?"
His voice was ice-cold.
Shiun shook his hand, trying to break free.
Then—
Two other boys grabbed Reikou from behind.
They were strong—muscled.
Reikou struggled, but they held him tight.
Shiun sneered.
"Before him, I'll deal with you first, you shitty boy."
GWWEEW GWEEECE GWEER GOW.
Shiun pulled back his fist—ready to punch Reikou.
But—
Reikou lifted both legs and kicked him in the chest.
THWACK!!
Shiun fell back hard.
Reikou headbutted one of the boys, breaking free.
Then—
SMASH!
A hard punch to the other boy's face.
Meiyu watched—
But this time—
She saw Reikou in a different way.
Shiun got up, launching another punch—
Reikou dodged.
Then—a kick from below.
Another boy tried to hit him from behind—
Reikou sensed it—blocked—and countered with a knee strike.
"This isn't so hard—"
But suddenly—
The third boy grabbed Reikou from behind.
Reikou was distracted—
SMASH!!
A punch to his stomach.
Hard.
Blood dripped from his mouth.
Meiyu gasped.
"Hey! Stop it!" she screamed.
She tried to run to Reikou, but one of the boys blocked her.
They kept beating Reikou.
A punch.
A kick.
Another punch.
Reikou groaned.
The pain was overwhelming.
He couldn't fight back.
They finally stopped.
Meiyu rushed to him.
"Why did you come, you fool?!" she said.
Reikou didn't respond.
His eyes were closed.
But—he was still smiling.
Shiun stepped toward Meiyu.
"Now it's your turn."
But—
Suddenly—
Two boys were lifted into the air—at the same time—by the neck.
The hand holding them was massive.
Strong.
A deep voice—
"Yooo!"
"My dear..."
Kiyoshi Shenzuki.
He grinned—a creepy grin.
Shiun was still free—
Until—
A hand gripped his face.
Like a ball.
"Yaa, this is gonna be interesting."
Then—
THWACK!!
Shiun was thrown back.
It was none other than the GOAT—
Ryuuto Ketsuhiro.
"Am I late?"
He smirked.
"But heroes are always late. Heroes always arrive at the most epic moment—like me."
Shiori and Yueko rushed over.
"Are you two okay?" Yueko asked, concerned.
"Reikou, are you alright?" Shiori whispered.
Reikou smirked.
"Yeah... But they won't be."
He stood up.
"Haa... The taste of pain feels so good."
Now, it was 3 vs 3.
The fight turned brutal.
Reikou and Ryuuto took down Shiun.
Kiyoshi handled the others.
The boys realized—
They couldn't win.
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Reikou give sooo tight punch to shiun.
SMACH!!!
More power and pain full then shiun gave reikous...
Blood come not from only mouth, from nose also.
"Please forgive us! We won't do it again!"
DON'T COME IN FRONT OF MY EYES!! Reikou shouted from back.
They ran away.
Meiyu sighed, taking her bag.
"You fool."
She turned to leave.
Reikou was confused—
But happy.
"Yo! You saved her" Kiyoshi said, while one hand on reikou shoulder with that creepy teeth smile.
"Ahhh, but you al get to know" Reikou asked.
"I messaged them - after you" Yueko yeplied.

She smiled softly.
