Bab 12: Chapter 12: Confrontation with Ryūen
「17th April 」
Outside
It's strange honestly. For a few days, I'm being followed by two people. I haven't had the chance to properly identify them, however, I'm sure they are either from Class C or A.
Ichinose isn't such a person that would do that. After all, she is the definition of a good-hearted person.
The only person who would do that In Class B is
…Kanzaki.
However, he also doesn't have any reason currently.
In that regard, the students are either from Class A or C. In all honesty, even though I'm in the student council, I only memorized individuals who I see as worthy to be memorized by me.
From the sophomores to the seniors to a few first year's. My intuition however tells me that the people are from Class C and the one who tasked them is Ryūen, the newly self-elected leader.
Let's see if the fish takes the bait.
I walked to a secluded area where no surveillance cameras were available. I sat accordingly down on a nearby bench and waited for the next twenty minutes for Ryūen to appear.
However, it does seem like his appearance was just a figment of my imagination.
Just as I wanted to stand up, I heard a loud voice shouting. "You already want to go? Just when the fun begins?"
I looked at the person who exclaimed that and saw Ryūen alongside some of his lackeys appearing in front of me.
One of them was a person with a huge build, comparable to Koenji's. In this school, no, Japan generally, people with black skin color are rare. I believe, he is the only one throughout the whole school if I'm reminiscing myself correctly.
Meanwhile, another one of his lackeys was emitting very much fear in the nearby presence of Ryūen. He seemed to fear Ryūen to a very great extent If I'm seeing it right.
It was a green-haired boy, whose name I don't know. However, it's not like I particularly care about his name. But for this façade of mine, I need to know it. Just like anyone's else this year.
How troublesome.
Last but not least another person who was accompanying him is a girl with short hair and a gradient cerulean hair color. She also isn't emitting fear in presence of Ryūen. How surprising.
"How can I help you, Ryūen-kun?" I asked, trying to conceal my curiosity.
"You already helped me more than enough. I'm here to thank you for that. You spared me quite the trouble searching for specific evidence to prove my theory further."
"Your theory? I don't know what you mean, Ryūen-kun." I responded in a neutral tone. However, I knew what he meant.
Someone from the class either talked my theory to others or they gave it inadvertently price.
"Listen to this," he exclaimed as he played an audio recording from his phone. "Haruki, forgive me that I doubted you." I heard Ike…talking.
So he is referring that they gave the information price. Did they do it deliberately or inadvertently?
Both of these options are bad, but it would give me a certain perspective on how their idiotic minds work.
Perhaps, I should have manipulated the class, instead of telling them my theory.
"One moment," he exclaimed. "I need to fast forward to minute eleven." He expressed in a tone of annoyance.
"Eleven minutes?" I exclaimed in utter shock. "You listened to those two for eleven minutes?" I asked with a hint of sadness and grief in my voice for Ryūen's daring sacrifice.
"You think I would subject myself to listening to their bullshit for twenty minutes? I only listened for a minute before wanting to beat them up for their idiocy," he said remorsefully, expressing a sentiment shared by him and anyone else who had to endure conversations from Ike and Yamauchi.
"However, I believe I have discovered a new method of punishment for those who defy me," he chuckled sinisterly.
"Making them listen to 'Idiot one and Idiot two' has proven to be highly effective. It's even more satisfying than using physical violence," he laughed maliciously, causing the green-haired individual present to shiver with fear
So that guy is the one who suffered, heh?
He looks…traumatized.
As I listened to the idiotic conversation between Yamauchi and Ike, I felt like beating these two up.
No, even expelling them would be better.
I heard Yamauchi selling everything as his own theory, as he with no care announced each aspect I mentioned.
I somewhat still remained with a calm and compulsive expression, however, I really wanted to beat them up.
"So, is that all?" I asked, trying to gauge if he had any further business with me.
"For now," he chuckled.
Without warning, he announced in a supposedly menacing tone, "Kurushima, I'm going to crush you."
I met his challenge with a raised eyebrow. "The question is, can you make that happen, Ryūen-kun?" I asked, with a hint of sarcasm behind my voice, challenging Ryūen.
He stepped closer, until we were standing just a meter apart, locked in a stare down. The excitement and malice in his grin only intensified.
Without warning, Ryūen lunged forward, attempting to head-butt me.
I quickly sidestepped, dodging his attack. He stumbled forward, momentarily off-balance.
"You move well, Kurushima. However, being a little agile won't help you against me." Ryūen responded, with excitement over nourishing him.
"Is there any reason you attacked me, Ryūen-kun?" I asked, before waging to go in a full-fledged fight against him.
As I stepped to the side, Ryūen's face twisted in anger. "A reason? I don't need any of those," he spat, lunging towards me and aiming a kick at my face.
I dodged, keeping my guard up. "A fight where the other one restrains himself is not a fight at all," Ryūen growled in a dissatisfied tone.
"Also, If I beat you up now, I won't have fun for later," he said, his voice calm but his expression crazed. "I'm letting you go for today, Kurushima," he said, and his henchmen looked at him in surprise.
Ryūen…you are really underestimating me.
Does he really think, he can catch me off guard with this.
The answer is no, he can't catch me with a trick this simple calibers off guard.
As expected I saw him in the next moment aiming a kick at my face, which I blocked.
I immediately stepped back to a safe distance as I looked with my pupils to his henchmen, who were filming the scene, waiting for me to attack him.
Suddenly I saw Ryūen speaking, with a crazed and excited smile. "It wouldn't be fun if you were so easy to beat," Ryūen said, walking away with his henchmen.
I also walked away as I sent one person a message.
[Shiina Hiyori:]
[K: I found the movie, Shiina-san. (14:11)]
[S: Really? Then when should we met up? (14:12)]
[K: Tomorrow, after the school, if that's fine by you. (14.12)]
[S: It's fine by me, Kurushima-kun. Until tomorrow then. (14:13)]
[K: Until tomorrow, Shiina-san. (14:13)]

A/N: I loved writing this Chapter honestly. Already because out of the solely reason that our dear-hearted Dragon-boy-kun is making his appearance.
A bit of comedy aspects are also here and there again. I am really not sure why I am bullying Ike and Yamauchi so much, honestly.
If I had to state a reason, it would be because it´s fun. Yeah, that´s in actuality the only reason.
Anyways, how did you find this Chapter? I think it´s pretty amusing. And have you noticed anything strange in this Chapter?
Well, that was all.
