(1st Person POV)
I go back to the people who are waiting for me. Though Ben, Alex and Gerard are still looking at me in surprise.

I just smirk at them and say," What? I told you that I can take all of them on my own."

Ben just laughs nervously," Haha, Looks like this job finished alright due to you. But are you sure that you will be fine? You just threatened Jimmy Bae."

"Uh, Who is Jimmy Bae?"

He just looks at me incredulously and says, "What? You don't even know Jimmy Bae? Are you living under a rock or something? He is the No. 1 of the school you just threatened. You just beat his No. 2 to pulp too."

"What? That 'Jack' was the No. 2? He is pretty weak... Then Jimmy must not be that strong, huh?"

"Don't underestimate him. You do that and you may lose. Don't be overconfident." He says with a serious look on his face.

'Hmmm... If a goofy person like him is warning me, then he must be a good opponent for me to fight.'

I smile giddily with excitement due to another fight.
Though I still have a question...

"Why did you guys help me? I don't have anything to do with you. Surely there must be a reason why you guys decided to help me." I ask them with a bit of curiosity.

Ben replies in a carefree voice," I learnt about you from the rumours and was interested in your fighting ability too. Also, I can't let a Eunjang student be beaten by Yoosun High Students."

Gerard replies for the same reason.

"Anyway, still thank you for trying to help me. You guys are good people." I say while smiling pleasantly.

The trio blushes at my praise.

"Anyway, what do you say to have some ramen with us or maybe have a game at the poolroom?" Ben asks with a delightful face.

I look at Gray and Stephen who are still dumbfounded on seeing a real and proper fight happening in front of them.

"What do you two say? We can have play PX4 tomorrow or maybe the day after tomorrow."

Both Stephen and Gray nods with an unfocused look on their face.

' I can understand Gray's mind to be in the clouds but even Stephen? Weird....'

I turn back to the trio and say happily," Yeah! Why not?"

(In the Pool Room)

"Felix! How are you so good at pool?"
Ben says in a frustrated voice to me.

"Haha, I knew you guys were amateurs in this game. Gray is also playing today for the first time. Though he is not as good as me, he is still leagues ahead of you guys."

I brag about me being better than them shamefully.

'Haha, Passive first ability is such a cheat! I just have to activate it when I am going to hit the ball. And with my improved hand-eye coordination and enhanced flexibility. This is just a piece of cake.'

"And Stephen? How are you so bad at this? You just have to hit straight. How does the ball fly to the other end of the room ?" I say to him as to tease him.

Stephen replies in a sheepish voice," I just hit it straight. I don't know how it went there, I swear."

Then I teach him the proper posture and movement. He gets a bit better at it...

Ben then asks with interest," Hey Felix. How were you able to dodge Jack's punches? I saw you dodge all of them easily. Not a single one of those punches even managed to graze you."

"Hmmm...I don't know, I mean I got this gift from someone." I just shrug at him.

Ben stares at me after listening to my cryptic reply and then says," Don't tell me if you don't want to. You can just deny my question."

"If you don't wanna believe it, then don't."

We have a really good time at the pool room and all six of us seem to be a little closer.

'Also why is that part-timer girl looking at me at really close intervals? Is there something on my face?'

"Bye, you three. Take Care! "

Saying this Ben and Alex depart to their home. Gerard also waves his hand and goes back to his own home.

The three of us also go back to our route.

*Tap* *Tap*

Only the sound of our walking is heard in our ears. There is pin-drop silence.

I break this quietude and says," What happened to the both of you today? I saw you guys unfocused and not at all your usual self after the fight at the bridge underpass. Any problems?"

Stephen says quickly, too quickly," W-What are you saying, Felix? We had a lot of fun today. Maybe those three will be our new friends soon too. I was just delighted at the thought of making new friends."

"Don't try to fool me with your bluffs, Stephen. Say the truth to me and you, Gray? Why aren't you saying anything? I saw you two talking between yourself sometimes in the poolroom. What was that about?"

Gray flinches a bit after me confronting him.

Stephen then sighs and has a bitter smile on his face," Of Course, You would know that I am lying to you. Both I and Gray just wanted to do this thing on our own and not rely on you all the time."

"What, how can you even say that? Friends are meant to rely on, you idiot."

"We know that you are a great friend, Felix. We couldn't have asked for a better friend. And as you already know about this, let us rely on you for just this time..."

I raise my eyebrow at their rather cryptic request.

"CAN YOU TRAIN BOTH OF US?"

(3rd Person POV)

In front of the No. 1 of Yoosun High School, Jimmy Bae is the group standing which earlier went to drag Ben Park.

Jimmy just looks at the three people in front of him. He sees the injuries and bruises on Jack Kang and Harper Ha.

"So, you failed to drag Ben here? Jack, I expected more from you than this and Helmet, you fu**ing dimwit, you sure are proud of your injuries, huh?"

"So, who did this to you, Jack? Ben Park or Alex Go?"

Jack struggles to reply. He gulps and says the truth to Jimmy. He recounted the whole situation back there to Jimmy.

"What? He defeated you so easily? I can understand why Helmet got wrecked but you too?"

Jack replies back in a low voice," Yeah, he is really strong. At least stronger than Alex Go. I couldn't even graze him. He just bent his body at insane angles to dodge my attacks."

"So another insane person is in that school? Goddamn, these Eunjang fu**ers are so annoying.."

"Also-"

"Also what?"

"Also he kind of threatened you. He said that to tell you that if he sees any Yoosun High Students bully Eunjang Students. Then, he will make them regret their decision."

Jimmy's face turns red with rage on hearing that ," So, that fu**er has the balls to even threaten me? Jimmy Bae? What was his name again?"

" Uh, we don't know...."

"Why do you guys not even know his name? What did he look like then?"

"Uh, he had brown hair, a deep tan skin tone and was around 5'11."

After hearing his description, Jimmy smokes his cigarette, deep in thought and no one around him could know what he was thinking.

(End of the chapter)

Sorry for the late release. I was reading through Weak Hero again to know what is currently happening. I dropped it some time ago at Gerard Jin's background arc.

Also, before writing this fic, I thought writing character interactions will be difficult. But the thing which is much more difficult is the fight scenes, I just don't know how to make hand-to-hand combat diverse in a different way every single fight. It gets repetitive soon. And I am on just my 12th Chapter.

Give me some comments for my motivation!
