''Are you sure this is a good idea?'' Lucas again asked.
''Yes!'' Ichiro roared
Lucas has been asking the same question for dozen times already, and Ichiro is getting really annoying at this point; it is his plan, of course, it is a good idea!
Ichiro and Lucas are currently looking through the area close to the College, where the delinquents usually hang out after their school day.
Ichiro and Lucas also went to buy a mask that covers their faces.
The mask is ordinary black-colored ski masks, which cover their faces nicely.
Of course, they aren't wearing the ski masks yet, because they would look very suspicious.
They also took out their school jacket which would give their identity.
They were still wearing their school pants and their own t-shirts.
''Why am I even following your plans? I am fucking idiot,'' Lucas said while scratching his head out of frustration.
''My plans are amazing, I am the brains, and you are the brawns, so don't question my intelligence.''
[Host. For your information, I am the most intelligent person on this planet]
'What a fucking weird flex.'
[…]
''We are here.'' Lucas suddenly said.
Ichiro looked in front of him and saw a vast school not far from them.
And words [Irio's College of Fighting] were shown on top of the gate.
''Hmm…'' Ichiro looked around him while humming.
''Maybe their school day isn't over yet?'' Lucas suggested.
''Wanna go find out?'' Ichiro asked with a grin.
''No!'' Lucas shouted.
''Let's go!'' Ichiro yelled and started walking towards the college's gates.
''Damn!'' Lucas roared and followed Ichiro closely behind.
''Put your mask,'' Ichiro said; he took a black-colored ski mask from his pocket and put it on.
Lucas sighed and put on his mask as well.
[Host. This College is infamous for the number of delinquents there are; you won't be only facing the 4 delinquents, you will face the entire school]
'So?
[I can tell that there are few Peak Martial Leaders, and one of them is half-step into Martial Captain stage]
'So am I.'
[Yes, but you won't be only facing him. This is a horrible idea, especially since Lucas is with you; you can't run away and leave Lucas alone to die, can you?]
'Of course, I won't leave him. I got a plan, relax.'
[…]
''There is a guard,'' Lucas said while pointing at the guard standing next to the gate.
Ichiro scoffed, he started running towards the guard.
The guard was standing lazily while looking at the cars go by…, but then he felt wind increasing around him.
He raised an eyebrow, but then he noticed a shadow next to him.
He turned his head but only saw a fist contacting with his face.
The next thing he saw was darkness surrounding his vision.
He fell down to the ground, unconscious.
''That's how you do it,'' Ichiro said nonchalantly.
Lucas ran towards him and yelled. ''What the fuck are you doing?!''
''Relax, I got a plan,'' Ichiro said and dragged the knocked-out guard towards the other side of the wall so that no one would see his body.
He threw the guard's body in bushes, and now his body was completely hidden.
''Let's go,'' Ichiro said and started jogging with a leisurely pace towards the college building.
Lucas hated this plan, but he followed behind him.
They arrived, they peeked inside and saw the shoe lockers being empty from people.
They must still be in the class.
''How are we going to find them?'' Lucas asked.
'System, where are they?'
[…I am not allowed to help you.]
'But you said that there are many strong people here; why did you help then?'
[I told it to warn you. I can warn you if danger is approaching, but that is the only thing I can do since the system is only Advanced]
'Hmm…' Ichiro hummed inside his mind.
''Well? What are we going to do?'' Lucas asked with anxiousness, seeing that Ichiro wasn't answering.
''I guess we will need to wait,'' Ichiro said.
''Thank god!'' Lucas heaved a sigh of relief.
Ichiro rolled his eyes. ''Let's wait till the school is over somewhere close.''
Lucas nodded. ''There was a restaurant not far from here, you can see the college entrance from there.''
Ichiro nodded and started following Lucas towards the restaurant.
They put their masks back on their pockets, and with a leisurely pace, they walked to the restaurant.
They sat down on the table closest to the window; they can clearly see the gates of the college in the distance.
''What was your plan anyway?'' Lucas asked.
''It was to find where the delinquents are, beat them up, maybe throw them out of the window and then get the fuck outta there.''
''What changed?'' Lucas asked with a raised eyebrow.
''Change of plans, we will wait instead,'' Ichiro said while looking at the gate.
''Are you sure this is a good idea?'' Lucas asked one more time.
''I am positive,'' Ichiro said.
''What are you even planning to do to them?'' Lucas asked with curiosity.
''I know that they are horrible people, and I will make sure that they won't be able to hurt anyone anymore.''
''Are you planning to kill them?!'' Lucas panic whispered towards Ichiro.
Ichiro shook his head. ''Of course not, I am going to cripple them.''
''What did they do to you anyway? You seem very angry.''
''Of course, I don't feel enough anger towards them to cripple them, but I know that those people are one of the worst people in Irio, and getting rid of them makes Irio safer.''
Lucas sighed and kept looking at the gate while thinking about the time he met them…
He heard their conversation, and he knew that they were scum.
But he didn't dare to kill them… Even crippling that one guy accidentally frightened him a lot.
He still has nightmares about killing Irkum… He hasn't, of course, told Ichiro about it because he has his own pride to carry.
*RINGGG*
Lucas and Ichiro flinched after hearing a loud bell ringing noise coming from the college,
''I guess the school is over,'' Lucas said solemnly.
Ichiro nodded and stood up from his seat. ''Let's go.''
Lucas followed behind him.
They walked out of the restaurant and calmly stood there, waiting for their target to come out.
Some of the college students had already walked out of the gates; they didn't see the guard's body hidden in the bush.
Ichiro sighed a relief because finding his body would cause a lot of chaos.
''Kekeke.'' Ichiro perked up his ears; he remembers this laughter; it is what haunted him for months.
He saw a group of people walking out of the gates.
Total of 10 delinquent-looking guys.
''They are here,'' Ichiro said and pointed at them.
Lucas saw them, and he remembers a few of the faces.
[Host. There are 3 Peak Martial Leaders in that group, and one of them is the half-step Martial Captain, but your targets are Low Martial Leaders]
'Alright.' Ichiro said in his mind and started following the group of delinquents.
Lucas, with a slightly pale face, followed behind Ichiro.
''They aren't weak,'' Lucas whispered.
Ichiro nodded. ''I will take care of the stronger ones; you handle the others.''
''Are you sure you can handle it?'' Lucas asked with worry.
''I can.'' Ichiro narrowed his eyes while looking at the laughing delinquents in front of him.
''Shall we visit the Irio's Public High School? I heard there were some nice bitches to enjoy, Kekeke.'' A delinquent with the name of Jock suggested with a vicious grin.
Ichiro narrowed his eyes while looking at him; he remembers him…
It was the guy who robbed him mercilessly…
Lucas paled after they mentioned the name of Irio's Public High School.
He leaned towards Ichiro and whispered. ''We can't let them go there.''
''I know, after there are fewer people, we will attack,'' Ichiro said.
Lucas nodded and sighed in relief.
His crush is studying in the Irio's Public High School…
And she is definitely beautiful… The delinquents would definitely do everything in their powers to have a taste of her…
Lucas bit his lips while looking with murderous intent towards the delinquents.
Ichiro widened his eyes; he clearly felt Lucas' killing intent, which means that the delinquents probably did as well.
''Put your mask now!'' Ichiro whispered; he quickly put on his mask.
Lucas did as well with hurry, and he knew that he had made a mistake.
The group of delinquents stopped walking and turned their heads towards the two masked individuals.
''Who the fuck are you two?'' The delinquent in the middle said, he is the half-step Martial Captain, his name is Kuro.
Ichiro and Lucas didn't answer; instead, they looked at them closely, waiting for any moment to attack.
They were currently standing in the street, not far from the college, which means many students were still around.
And seeing two suspicious masked individuals facing against the strongest students from their school…
Of course, it attracts a lot of attention.
But not only from the students.
Some of the citizens also looked closely, and they can clearly see that the group of 10 weren't good people.
With their ear piercings, tattoo's and overall evil look.
They know that the two masked individuals are here for revenge.
