Chapter 8: Chapter 7: Academy Pt. 7

Hyuri's POV

[5:25 PM, Southern Hallway]

The south hallways were empty. I've only seen one or two people. I was leaning against a wall with one foot on it. I was waiting for Kensho and Rei to finish using the restroom. It was strange. Kensho needed a guard for whatever reason.

"You two should hurry up! Isn't time for you to get on your game, Kensho?!"

Rei walked out grabbing Kensho's arm. I glanced at them and wondered "What the hell?".

"What's up with him?" I asked genuinely worried.

"I don't know. Ever since we got to this area he's been afraid of something."

I looked at Kensho. He seemed traumatized. Is that why they were taking a long time? Was he afraid? Afraid of what though. He began talking. It was faint but I was able to hear him.

"It's just a matter of time. Until they come after me," he said.

"Until who goes after you?"

He looked up, and his eyes widened.

"Them," he pointed in my direction.

Rei looked in my direction. I turned around. Four boys stood there a few yards away. They all had wide grins on their faces. They walked toward us a little.

"It seems like you have backup this time, Yaki," one of the boys in the middle said, arrogantly.

"Who are you? What's your business with, Kensho," I asked boldly.

"You actually care about that pile of shit? Jus' look at him. Quivering in his uniform."

"Hey! Why don't you shut it and deal with me first!" Rei yelled at

"Wait, Rei!" I said attempting to get his attention.

"I only have business with Yaki and Katsuyo. No need for you to step into the picture."

Business with me? What had I done? Kensho as well. What had we done to get these guys after us? It was confusing, to say the least.

"So move aside, Shojin."

I think that set him off. Because next thing I know he ran at the guy straight on. No thought in his mind.

"First, think before you throw yourself into a fight," he said as he grabbed Rei's arm and lifted him off the ground.

"Hey! Put me down!!"

"Sure," he threw him back to his initial spot.

"Leave them out of this. You said you have "business" with me, right?" I asked.

"Yeah, I do."

"Then, fight me.

I was riled up. Even if I had only known Rei and Kensho for eleven days. Being with them for those eleven days in that dorm bonded us. And I wasn't gonna let that bond-

Thud!

I felt the pain of the painted brick wall as I slammed against it. My back felt weird. Before my feet could even touch the floor I felt a fist hit my stomach.

"Guess the fight's done," he laughed.

I was angry. I gritted my teeth hard. It felt like they'd break.

"Karai-!"

Unfortunately, he grabbed my hair and slammed my head into the wall.

"Hyuri!!" I heard Kensho and Rei scream.

The back of my head felt warm. I slowly touched it. It was blood. This guy made me bleed.

"Ka...Ra-"

He did it again. Slamming the same spot into the wall. I felt the back of my head get warmer. I was useless. He got closer to my ear.

"Guess Aiko's precious body and soul are all mine..."

What had he meant? I didn't like her. Was this all because he thought I did.

"Bas...tard," was all I could slip out before being dropped forcibly.

"Now, to finish off little Kensho over here!"

I heard the sound of fast faint footsteps. Someone was running toward us.

"Lightning Resonance: Paralysis Shot," someone said.

The three other boys fell to the floor. And standing behind them was another boy.

"You're in the wrong area. Aren't you supposed to be in the Northern part with Drew?"

"Kai. H-hey didn't see you there."

"Don't act. Get your boy band and leave. Release Paralysis," he said calmly.

The first boy scurried off. The other three boys followed.

"Are you three alright?" He asked.

"Yes," we all said.

"You guys don't look familiar which area are you from?"

We didn't know there were areas. We all just shrugged.

"First-period teacher?"

"Professor Tanoji," Rei blurted out.

"You guys are from the East, huh?" he told us. "Daniel's side."

"Sorry uh..."

"Kai. Kai Ryugin."

"Sorry, Kai. We never knew there were sides."

"Most people don't. If you know certain people you'll know everything.

I was interested. So much so that I had forgotten that I was bleeding.

"Well, first thing's first. You guys have to know each domain and its 'leader'. The North Domain and its leader, Drew Casey. East Domain: Daniel Dybala. South Domain: Iker Kazama. West Domain: Saikona Akayo. And the Central Domain: Katso Midorikatchi."

Five areas in this building. I had never known.

So we were in Iker Kazama's domain. But why was this a thing? It didn't make sense.

"Anyway let's go get that head if your's checked out."

***

Kai walked us to the nurse's office so I could be healed. I was still in shock from earlier.

"So Kensho. Why were they after you?"

"I talked to that new girl, Aiko, earlier today, and ever since then they kept following me," he replied.

So all this was due to us coming in contact with Aiko. But why. Why were they going to such lengths? We had to figure out why, and quickly.

"Hey, Kai. You said crossing into other domains could lead us into trouble right?"

"Yeah, why?

"Because. I need to know what those guys are planning."

"I'll handle this for you, Hyuri. Don't worry."

He'd take care of this for us? I was sort of relieved. I just hoped they wouldn't go after us.

3rd Person POV

[8:50 PM, Field]

In the middle of the field behind the second dorm building sat a boy. Not just any boy. His name was Drew Casey. The leader of the Northern Domain.

"What are you doing here, Anthony?" Drew asked aloud.

The boy from earlier. The one who had beaten up Rei and Hyuri was there. His name was Anthony.

"Just came by to… uh give a report," he lied.

"Go on. Give me a report."

Anthony started to shake. Not knowing whether he'd be punished if he told Drew.

"The Southern Domain might try to challenge us."

Drew turned around. He stared at Anthony angrily. He started to walk forward.

"What do you mean? What did you do, Anthony?!"

"May have crossed into the Southern area to chase some kids."

This infuriated Drew more.

"But in my defe-"

Drew kicked him into the building. He just looked down at him.

"You dumbass! Do you have any idea what Kazama would do to us?!" he said, angry and afraid.

Iker Kazama was not a force to be reckoned with. Although the top 5 had near equal stats. Iker Kazama was on the stronger and faster side of the scale.

"I have to go settle this. For now, stay on our side!" He scolded Anthony.

***

[8:30 PM, Dorm A-26]

The lighting was dim. The room was quiet. The only thing that made noise was the television. Iker Kazama sat on the highest bunk in his dorm. He sat there watching it. His "servants" were awake as well.

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!

Kazama looked toward the door.

"Kai open the door," Kazama commanded.

Kai stood up and did what Kazama had told him to. He saw Drew standing there, hand on his hip.

"It's Drew Casey," Kai reported.

Kazama glanced at the door. Then back to the television. He sighed, but no one heard. He appeared on the floor instantly.

"What is it, Drew?"

"Anthony told me you were attempting to challenge us. I came here to confirm if what you said was true."

Kazama sensed something. He gazed at Drew. Death-staring him directly at his face.

"If you wish on ambushing me, good luck," Kazama said softly.

"Come on, Ik-"

Kazama instantaneously grabbed Drew by his neck and pushed him against the wall outside the dorm. The impact created a small crater. The people on the sides with weapons just stood there.

"I just knew you had something up. Kai stay inside and close the door. I can handle this."

Kazama glanced at the other students gathered by Drew and they scurried fast.

"Now, why would I challenge you?" Kazama asked Drew softly. "That Anthony of yours is lying."

Someone stood behind Kazama. Dagger in hand ready to strike. He stayed silent. The person raised the dagger and swung it down. But before he realized it, Kazama was gone. Instead, he stabbed Drew.

"Drew are you alright?!" Anthony yelled.

Anthony didn't know where Kazama had gone.

"I heard you were causing trouble earlier, Anthony Mendez."

Anthony looked behind him. Kazama just stared at him. That alone made Anthony fall against the wall trembling.

"Don't mess with them again. And leave that girl alone. If not, I might have to intervene."

Kazama walked back into his dorm. The two felt relieved. They knew Kazama was a threat. If you said his first name without being close to him you would collapse. Without him even touching you.

The two never even knew what his stats were. So they pulled them up and compared his stats to Drew's.

Iker Kazama's Stats

Power: 95

Strength: 90

Speed: 99

They weren't surprised. Iker was stronger than a lot of people in Zone A.
