Chapter 10: Gang Beating is Not a Crime

  That guy had already loosened his tie, revealing a fair complexion, with both hands lazily inserted into his pockets. His eyes were casually looking at some place on the ground (anyway, it wasn't our direction), and his tone was somewhat impatient: "What did you call me out for? You guys can handle this yourselves."

  What a pretentious guy, you few people can solve it yourself... These words really pierce my ears and make me uncomfortable. So many years have passed, this kid's personality doesn't seem to have changed much. Hmm, should say it's even worse than before. I remember the first time I went to his house, because I was wearing a canvas skirt made by my mom, as a result, he met me wearing a luxurious suit coming down from the spiral staircase, with a very disdainful look at me.

  At that time I had not yet erupted, strongly holding back the anger in my heart.

  But soon after my mom and I sat down, he spoke to me in an even more contemptuous tone: "Dirty people shouldn't sit on the sofa in our house." At that time, my mom was busy chatting with her wealthy friend and didn't hear what the little devil said. I tried to suppress my inner anger and said to him: "Can we talk in the yard?"

  He disdainfully turned around: "Who wants to go to the courtyard with a dirty girl like you?"

  The corners of my mouth twitched, still smiling: "Because your family's yard is so beautiful, only someone with a temperament like yours can have such a beautiful yard?"

  He was very satisfied with what I said, and then followed me to the yard. Then he was beaten by me severely.

  This time was okay, because he was hit by a girl and felt very embarrassed so he didn't tell his family. But the next time was when they were attending their banquet, almost shot off his little bird... From then on, the Lin family people all harbored hatred towards our family and also cut off contact with my mom...

  Of course, those are things of the past. The boy standing in front of me now has grown taller than before, more handsome than before, and... stronger than before.

  "Big brother, what are we going to do now? There are so many of them, are we really going to fight in a group?" The two guys next to me asked cautiously. I frowned and said: "What to do?! You tell me what to do?! It was you guys who dragged me out to fight, which got me skipping class for the first time!"

  They hung their heads in shame: "Because... because we can't beat him... we have no choice but to negotiate with the boss."

  Cut it out, what's with finding me to discuss this, aren't you just trying to use me as a scapegoat. You guys should think about it, several hundred people against fifty or so, even if I were operating a road roller, I couldn't crush that many people, and yet you're pulling me out to seek death, honestly.

  I waved my arm at the people on the other side with a bad temper and said, "Alright, alright, you guys stand still, I can handle it myself. But I declare first, except for this time, there won't be a next time!"

  I finished speaking and flashed into the crowd, almost everyone I passed by fell down. The few people standing in the front were scared silly: "He, he, he..."?

  "He" hadn't finished speaking when one of them was knocked to the ground. Only that guy from elementary school, who I almost cut his little chicken (penis) off back then, was left standing because he said he wouldn't participate in the group beating, so I didn't lay a hand on him.

  Just as I was about to leave, my shoulder was suddenly grabbed by someone. Turning around, I saw Lin Fenghe leaning against my shoulder with a cold expression and said: "I didn't expect you to be able to knock down everyone here in an instant? Why not knock me down too?"

  I didn't turn my head, afraid that if I was stared at for too long, it would be discovered: "Because you said 'you guys solve this among yourselves', it means you're not participating in the group fight, so why should I hit you? Fighting consumes physical and mental energy, and I still need to save some strength for class, exams, eating, and other things. I don't have that much energy to waste on a pointless fight."

  "Is this a boring fight?" A chill suddenly came from behind, and I dodged the person's palm with a sudden jump. His speed was absolutely not covered, and in the instant I dodged that palm, there was already a palm wind sweeping across my face, and several strands of hair fell down. Hehe, this kid has made a lot of progress! But thinking that this can deal with me is absolutely impossible!

  I held my breath and started walking slowly around him, then suddenly rushed forward! My fingernails were sharpened like knives after being filled with air, and in an instant, I scratched the hand he raised to block my attack. But did you think that was it? How dare you hurt my fur! As soon as I withdrew my hand, I changed direction and struck his forehead, my sharp fingernails almost reaching his brow... Suddenly... I stopped...

  Then slowly put down his hand and turned around: "You're too weak... The body is given by your parents, please don't casually fight with people, the one who gets hurt is your body, and your body... is nurtured by your parents' hard work, it's not something that can be harmed just because you want to."

  When I left, a flurry of leaves flew up behind me, as if crying for what had just happened. The boys who had fallen to the ground slowly got up and saw Lin Fenghe, whom I had defeated, looking at him in disbelief...

  "There is no eternal strong person in the world, and there is no one who never fails... Whoever it is, only those who have experienced failure but can still stand up are the strong ones."

  It's finally time for class to end, and after returning to the classroom, I feel like there are many scorching hot gazes shooting over from all around, those gazes almost see through my clothes and everything, it's so distracting that I didn't hear a word of this morning's lesson!

  It's finally lunch break, but then Mitsuo shows up at our classroom door: "Kocha, Kocha! I saw the whole thing earlier when you were fighting. You're so cool, just like that time you took down the Oni Ryūgū gang to save me!"

  I rushed up and covered his mouth... damn it, why did this guy mention that I annihilated the Ghost Dragon Gang?! Does he still want me to live or die?! What if those gang's remnants come after me for revenge?! And that previous setup wasn't even my fault, it was all because of that bastard Yayoi!

  "If you don't go and provoke the leader of the Diamond Gang and the leader of the Blood Gang, will I go and fight them?! If I don't fight them, will I go and be the leader of some drink gang?! If I don't go and be the leader of some drink gang, will I go and get beaten up by those idiots?! The reason is not entirely because of you, let me tell you, if next time you cause any more trouble, don't come crying to me, I absolutely won't lend a hand to help you!" I grabbed Misono's collar and threw him out.

  Ugh, why does mom have to make me bring this big burden with me everywhere I go, from childhood to adulthood it's not enough that I've been protecting him all these years, and now at a new school I still have to bring him along! I'm so fed up.

  When I was young, I got hurt so many times to save this idiot! When classmates bullied him, I helped fight back. When stray dogs chased him, I went to rescue him. When thugs took him away, I brought him back! All of it was me protecting him, but don't I deserve my own happiness too? Why do I always have to protect him? Why does he always act like a little kid? Why can't he just grow up?! I'm thoroughly exhausted, I've had enough! I never want to protect him again!

  To protect him, I was ostracized by my schoolmates, whether in kindergarten, elementary school or junior high! To protect him, I was bitten by wild dogs n times and had to get vaccinated against rabies n times. I really don't know where he got so much charm that attracted the wild dogs! To protect him, I learned martial arts from a master behind my grandfather's house in the mountains, living a hellish training life every day! To protect him, I almost gave up my happy childhood! Now that we're already in beautiful university, do I still have to keep protecting him? No, no, no!!!

  A certain girl, in a state of extreme frenzy, grabbed the school bag on the table and put it on her back to leave the classroom. Yasser, who was originally quietly sleeping on the table, suddenly got up, picked up the script that the girl had dropped on the table, and chased after her.

  "Ruozhe Tea classmate, you forgot to take your script." When he walked to the door, he couldn't see a certain girl's figure anymore... dejectedly lowering his head... has she left already??

  Behind the teaching building, in a certain thicket of grass, a young man with a prince-like perfect face but attached to a childlike innocent heart was shrinking there, with tears in his eyes: "Xiao Cha doesn't want me anymore t＿t, Xiao Cha hates me... waaahhh t＿t!" But... I like her... I've liked her since I was very, very young, really, really like her...

  As I walked to the cafeteria, I suddenly remembered that because I always mooch off Miyu, I didn't bring my meal card today... Ugh, seriously, I should have searched for his meal card and thrown it away first.

  Just as I was about to head in the direction of the student union building's dormitory to retrieve my meal card, I saw several students wearing third-year badges walking towards me. It wasn't because they looked unique that I noticed them, but rather because I overheard their conversation.

  One of them said, "Hey, have you seen it? The terrifying president of the Kendo Club has appeared behind the teaching building. I heard he comes out once a week to hunt for prey, especially those handsome-looking boys, and then slowly stabs his knife into their skin, listening to the sound of the blade scraping against muscle."

  Another one said: "I didn't see that, but I did see a very handsome young man on the playground opposite the teaching building just now, and he took down hundreds of people from a gang with one breath. He's so cool!"

  Another one said, "Blow your own horn, taking down a few hundred people by yourself, do you think he's some kind of Superman? I did see a very handsome young man in the bushes behind the teaching building, if that perverted Swordsmanship Club president is really there, he's done for."

  Another one said: "Oh, you're talking about one of those two new transfer students?"

  Wait... wait a minute?! One of the new transfer students?! Yayoi?!

  Rushed to the teaching building like a flying arrow... It's completely a conditioned reflex, as long as it's mentioned that Yayoi might be in danger, I'll rush to save him with all my might! t＿t It's really annoying, now I've become his nanny, and even more so, I've become an old mother!

  "Yayoi! Yayoi! Yayoi!!!" When I arrived at the back of the school building, I couldn't find him anywhere. Could it be that he's already been torn to pieces by that perverted Kendo Club president?! Oh god, please don't let it be true, if so, my mom will definitely kill me.

  "Yayoi, Yayoi, where are you!!!!!! Yayoi!!!!!!!!!" I shouted at the top of my lungs, but still couldn't find him... I suddenly collapsed to the ground... If I don't find him soon, something bad will definitely happen to him, if... if something happens to him, I... I... my mom will kill me! (Author: --____--! Just trying to give Mom an explanation, that's all!)

  "Kocha." A voice suddenly came from behind, and I immediately turned my head to see Miyu, that idiot, rubbing her eyes as she stood up from the grass thicket across from me, with leaves tangled all over her hair: "What's wrong, Kocha?"

  I sprang up and rushed to his front, grabbing his tie: "What are you doing running here alone! Don't you know it's dangerous?! Don't you know the perverted Sword Society president might appear?! (A guy carrying a wooden sword happened to be passing by... but he was deaf and didn't hear) If you die, do I have to pay for your funeral expenses?! Do you think I have that kind of money?!

  "Because T-chan is mad at me, I'm so sad that's why I came to this place. I know I'm stupid, always causing you trouble, always needing you to protect me... But... but I really like T-chan, so I don't want T-chan to hate me t＿t!" Misono started tearing up again like a child.

  "I don't dislike you." A soft sentence suddenly slipped out of my mouth... I turned my head to the side: "I just think you're a bit of a nuisance (isn't that almost the same as disliking you?)."
