He stares at him and turns back. "Well, I don't want to fight, but for a girl's safety."
The man who is holding a gun now points the gun at Akira. "It's not your business, kid," he yells at Akira.
"Mmh… you are right," he says and turns back again to leave.
Then suddenly, he picks a bottle of wine from a nearby place in the store, turns at him, and uses his full strength to throw the bottle at him. The bottle hits him in the face.
Akira runs and grabs his hand that holds the gun. He twists it with his strength, and he drops the gun.
The masked man who stole money from the counter jumps and hits Akira in the face. As Akira falls toward the floor, he immediately counters and hits him with an uppercut, and both of them fall to the floor, almost knocking that man out.
The first masked man tries to pick his gun, but Akira directly punches him in the face and makes him bleed.
The second masked man, who gets an uppercut just now, holds his jaw and looks at Akira with an angry face. "You are going to die!" he shouts.
Akira, who is lying on the floor, directly lands a kick on his face while that man still sits on the floor.
"Stand before yelling in anger," Akira says to him after knocking him.
The third man tries to come to help but is held by the girl. He slaps her and frees himself from her grab.
When he is free and looks at his friends, one is lying on the floor with a mark left by a shoe on his face, blood coming out from his nose. The other one is lying on the floor, and Akira stands while finishing knocking him down.
"You moron," the third masked man shouts and rushes toward him.
Akira takes a posture like he is going to rush too, takes two steps, picks a wine bottle, and throws it. It directly hits him in the face and slows his speed. As he opens his eyes, which are closed for two seconds when the bottle hits his face, he sees Akira's punch in front of his face.
The punch lands. His head moves backward, and his body moves forward and hits his back on the floor.
He opens his eyes and sees Akira standing with a serious and scary face, staring at him.
When he tries to get to his feet, the dizziness hits him hard, causing his knees to buckle.
Akira gives him a brutal kick directly targeting his testicle.
As the hit lands, the masked man immediately falls to the floor, holds his eggs with his hands, and folds his legs.
Akira does not stop and starts attacking his face. Without stopping for a second, he hits ten kicks on his face, which cause bleeding and swelling.
Three police cars with active sirens press their brakes in front of the store, enter, and point guns, even at Akira. But the store lady says, "No, he is the one who saves us and gives time to call you."
Akira knocks out all three masked men, and the situation is under control.
The store owner explains, "Those three rush into the store and hit me and threaten my wife. The other two start taking money from the counter. When my daughter hears and comes from her room, one masked man tries to do something wrong with her. At that time, Akira enters, and all things happen that we all know."
"Thank you, sir, for defending this family," an officer says while giving him a salute.
"It's my honor, sir," he replies and salutes him.
"Well, you defeat those three in one fight and only get one punch in return. You are strong compared to your age and appearance," a man says as he comes with the police wearing a long brown coat, looking like a detective from movies.
"I am just lucky. If the bottles was not near me, then I am finished. Also, that girl helps me by holding that third man. If she does not, then he is able to hit me from behind," he says while looking at her.
"Sorry if my question hurts you. I am just a detective; therefore, all I do is ask questions," he says with a strange smile.
The officers and detective take those masked men to the police station and take the store owner's and Akira's information.
"Thank you, son, for saving us, especially my daughter," he says while holding his hand, with tears in his eyes. The same goes for his daughter and wife, and they offer him some items from their store.
"No, I just do what I feel is right. You don't need to do that," he rejects the offer with respect.
He talks to them, but suddenly his jaw hurts due to the punch he takes while fighting.
The girl takes an ice bag from the store and puts it on his face.
"Don't remove it for five minutes. You have a small swelling," she says, but this time her real voice comes out.
Now he has time to look at her. She has yellow eyes and yellow hair, wears a cute short-sleeved white top and a frilly skirt, plus cute accessories like a hair ribbon.
He walks on the street and mumbles, "I can't ask for beer after those things happen."
"I don't care about Seya anymore. I just want to sleep, and my face hurts. Thank God I put two points in strength, and also thanks to me, I finish everything in less time, but I need stamina too," he says.
He turns and sees Seya standing near a red car that is very expensive and on the way Akira possibly takes.
As Seya sees him, she walks toward him and starts yelling at him. "Why are you so late?"
"I am trapped in a situation where I can't leave on my own," he replies lazily.
"Give me my beer and forget about everything. I am going to leave," she says.
"I don't have time to buy the beer, and where are you going?" he says.
"What! Ok, give me my money then, and I am going with my boyfriend for a date," she says.
"Well, I don't think that he is your boyfriend and you go on a date," he says.
"It's not your business," she says.
"Then I have to tell him that his girlfriend's body and performance are amazing," he says and talks toward the car.
She stops him by holding his forearm. "You don't tell him about what happens between us," she says with anger.
"Then don't tell my parents or yours or anyone about us," he says and releases her grip easily.
"Ok, that is a deal between us. Now give my money back."
He gives her the money back, and she gives him his house key and leaves with that man.
"At least she uses her dead brain and locks my house before leaving."
"I know he is not your boyfriend. He is just an ATM, and you have many like him."
"You know I can take another turn or way, but I still do not stand near our street."
He enters his house, climbs the stairs, and before going to bed, he decides to check his computer.
"I have to find a part-time job," he says.
"I hope 57k members on Discord are able to give me a proper job options."
He sends messages asking for a part-time job in all the Discord servers he has joined.
He wakes up after his three alarms ring. The swelling is gone, but it hurts a little.
He washes his face, brushes his teeth, wears his school uniform, and as he leaves, his left eye gives him sudden pain that almost breaks him. He hears something not in a language he knows. A few seconds later, the pain is completely gone.
"What the fuck just happened?"
He ignores it because it happens sometimes, and also he is not able to access the set world where he can talk to Lunna and Raven.
After 20 minutes, he reaches and enters his school. He walks in the hallway where everyone talks about a group project.
I don't like group projects already, and they just make it necessary, he thinks.
First class starts. Miss Twinkle gives an iconic speech.
Author note: iconic speech according to her.
She tells, "All students of final years are necessary to join a group and make a project with your group."
"Those who don't have a group and contribution in the project will receive lower grades, and if you don't find a group, then ask teachers. They will find a place in someone's group for you," she adds.
Looks like I need to socialize a bit, he thinks.
