The moment Hiro saw Fumi standing helplessly among the crowd—
Something inside him shattered completely.
His eyes widened violently.
Blood veins spread across them like cracks tearing through glass.
The hallway suddenly felt colder.
Dangerous.
Every emotion inside him collapsed into a single overwhelming instinct—
Destroy.
Without even thinking—
Hiro instantly lunged toward the nearest bully.
The boy barely reacted before Hiro violently grabbed his arm.
"IS THIS THE HAND YOU USED TO SLAP HER?!"
The bully looked shocked for a split second.
"Yeah, what are you gonna cu—"
Before he could finish—
Hiro violently pulled the arm toward himself while simultaneously driving a monstrous punch directly into the bully's lungs.
"GUHHHHH—!!"
The impact sounded horrifying.
The bully's eyes bulged instantly as all the air exploded out of his body.
His entire torso folded inward unnaturally.
But Hiro didn't stop there.
He immediately grabbed the back of the bully's collar—
And smashed his face directly into his knee.
Blood sprayed across the floor.
The bully collapsed lifelessly beside Hiro's feet.
The crowd froze.
Several students instinctively stepped backward.
Then—
Another bully rushed toward Hiro from the side.
"YOU PIECE OF SHIT—!!"
The boy swung his fist wildly toward Hiro's face.
But Hiro suddenly slipped beneath the punch.
His movement looked disturbingly smooth.
In the same motion—
Hiro grabbed the stretched arm tightly.
Twisted his hips.
Then violently flipped the bully over his shoulder.
The bully's body spun through the air before slamming head-first into the ground with a horrifying impact.
BAAAAMM.
The entire floor trembled slightly.
The bully's body bounced once—
Then completely stopped moving.
No sound.
No movement.
Nothing.
Fear quietly spread across the crowd.
"W-What the hell…"
"Is he insane?!"
"He slammed him unconscious in one move…"
Nearby—
Shinn remained frozen while watching Hiro.
His pupils slowly trembled.
This wasn't normal anger anymore.
This was something far beyond that.
Then—
A third bully charged forward furiously.
"YOU FREAK!!!"
He threw a heavy punch toward Hiro's jaw.
But Hiro simply turned his head slightly.
The fist barely missed him.
Then—
Hiro answered with a punch of his own.
A single punch.
Nothing flashy.
Nothing dramatic.
Hiroyuki arched his body forward to unleash the brutality of the punch.
Just pure violent force.
DOOM.
The impact distorted the bully's face completely.
His body literally lifted off the ground before flying sideways across the hallway.
The students nearby screamed.
The bully's back smashed violently against the concrete wall.
CRAAASH.
Fragments of dust scattered downward.
Then his body collapsed limply onto the floor.
Unmoving.
Silence spread across the hallway.
Nobody dared move anymore.
Nobody dared breathe loudly.
Meanwhile—
Hiro slowly turned around.
Toward the first bully.
The one who slapped Fumi.
The unconscious boy laid motionless beneath blood and bruises.
Hiro slowly walked toward him.
Step.
Step.
Step.
Each footstep echoed heavily throughout the corridor.
Then—
He sat directly on the bully's stomach.
His fists trembled violently.
He grabbed in collar and lifted him close to his face.
"hey..."
The bully painfully opened his eyes onto Hiro.
Hiroyuki's face had no expression...eyes widened and darkened with his white hair fallen all over his face and his face covered with blood splatters
"I am going to break your skull wide open..."
Fear climbed onto the bully's face as a chilling shiver.
His voice trembled by fear.
"S-somebody hel-" Punch! Crerckk!-.
Punch!.
Punch!.
Punch!.
Punch!.
The bully's eyes watched with terror as His fists repeatedly carved into the bully's face mercilessly.
Blood splattered across the floor.
The horrifying sound of flesh being crushed echoed repeatedly through the hallway.
The bully's face slowly became completely unrecognizable.
At that moment—
Hiro was no longer thinking like a human.
Everybody stood still watching the brutality in fear...in terror.
A majority of them must have felt satisfied because someone is punishing them for their sins.
But it wasn't a punishment anymore... a revenge anymore..., It was a Horror Possessed by the Rage just with the intention to kill.
Punch!.
Punch!.
Punch!.
Nearby—
Shinn stood completely frozen.
Sweat slowly rolled down the side of his face.
"…This wasn't the plan…"
His voice quietly trembled beneath his breath.
His eyes remained locked onto Hiro.
William's words slowly echoed inside his mind.
"Is it really okay to use Hiroyuki for this?"
Back then—
Shinn believed he understood what he was doing.
Those bastards were not normal students.
They were genetically enhanced orphan soldiers.
Disposable experiments.
Children modified into violent weapons by organizations that viewed human lives as meaningless.
The school was merely a temporary cage for them.
A place where they blended into society while continuing to torment weaker students.
Normal people couldn't stop them.
Teachers couldn't control them.
Even authorities ignored them because officially—
They did not exist.
Shinn had been searching for a way to end this problem for a very long time.
And eventually—
His answer became Hiroyuki.
Not because Hiro was violent.
But because Hiro possessed something abnormal buried deep inside him.
which is simply that he can keep up with them fist to fist.
An overwhelming instinct.
A monstrous survival rage.
Shinn knew one day it would awaken.
But—
Not like this.
Never like this.
His fists slowly tightened.
"…I was supposed to trigger him differently…"
His expression darkened slightly.
"…Something safer…"
But now—
Everything had spiraled far beyond his expectations.
Hiro looked less like a person—
And more like a predator that had finally tasted blood.
Shinn quietly stared at him.
"…Damn it."
He slowly exhaled.
"This wasn't meant to happen…"
Nearby—
Fumi stood trembling while watching Hiro brutally continue punching the unconscious bully.
Her body shook violently.
"…D-Demon…"
That single word instantly snapped Shinn back into reality.
His eyes widened slightly.
"No…"
"This is getting worse."
He immediately turned toward Sho.
"Sho."
Sho flinched.
"Y-Yeah?!"
"Take Fumi to the first aid section."
Sho nodded nervously.
"O-Okay!"
He quickly helped Fumi away while constantly glancing backward fearfully.
Meanwhile—
Hiro continued punching.
Punch.
Punch.
Punch.
His rage still refused to stop.
Shinn slowly lowered his eyes.
"…Looks like I have to hurry up and play my role now."
Then—
He took out his phone calmly.
"I must call the ambulance first."
But before he could finish—
A baseball bat suddenly slammed into the back of his head.
THUD.
Several students gasped loudly.
Yet Shinn didn't even stumble.
He simply raised the phone toward his ear.
"It's me."
His voice remained completely calm.
"Send two ambulances to my school."
Then—
Slowly—
He turned toward the bully holding the bat.
His expression looked deeply disappointed.
"…Why did you even try to hit me?"
The bully nervously stepped backward.
"Becau—"
The sentence never finished.
Shinn's punch instantly folded the bully's face sideways from the overwhelming impact.
"I DON'T NEED YOUR FUCKIN REASONS!!!!"
His voice exploded violently across the hallway.
"BECAUSE YOU WERE THE MOST BIGGEST ACCIDENTS YOUR PARENTS EVER CAME UP WITH!"
His eyes looked terrifyingly cold now.
"NONE OF YOUR ACTIONS MAKE SENSE YOU FATHERLESS BASTARDS!"
The remaining bullies froze completely.
For the first time—
They looked genuinely afraid.
One of the remaining bullies suddenly roared angrily.
"YOU THINK YOU'RE TOUGH?!!"
He charged toward Shinn recklessly.
Another followed right behind him.
Then another.
Three of them rushed simultaneously from different directions.
Nearby students immediately screamed and scattered away from the hallway.
But Shinn remained completely still.
Calm.
Cold.
The first bully swung a steel pipe directly toward Shinn's head.
The second aimed a punch toward his ribs.
The third rushed from behind while gripping a pocket knife tightly.
For a brief second—
Everything slowed.
Shinn's eyes quietly shifted sideways.
"…Too slow."
The steel pipe came first.
Shinn instantly stepped forward instead of backward.
The pipe barely missed his face.
Then—
His elbow smashed directly into the first bully's throat.
THUKK.
The boy's eyes widened violently.
His breathing immediately stopped.
Before the body could even collapse—
Shinn grabbed the steel pipe mid-air.
Then swung it around like a katana.
The pipe swung across the faces of bullies with terrifying speed.
BAAAM.
The second bully's jaw twisted sideways from the impact.
Several teeth flew across the floor.
His unconscious body crashed into nearby desks.
The third bully immediately attempted stabbing Shinn from behind.
But Shinn casually tilted his body sideways.
The blade barely grazed past his uniform.
Then—
Shinn grabbed the bully's wrist.
Twisted.
A horrifying cracking sound echoed instantly.
"AGHHHHHHH!!!"
The knife dropped onto the floor.
Shinn kicked the back of the bully's knee.
The leg bent unnaturally.
The bully collapsed screaming.
Then—
Shinn grabbed his hair violently.
And smashed his face directly against the concrete wall.
SMACK.
Blood spread instantly.
"WAIT WAIT WAIT—"
SMACK.
"I'M SORRYYY—"
SMACK.
"PLEASE STO—"
SMACK.
The hallway echoed with horrifying sounds.
Nearby students watched in absolute fear.
Shinn slowly leaned closer toward the crying bully.
"Hm?"
His voice sounded strangely casual.
"You people suddenly know how to beg now?"
He violently dragged the bully's face across the rough concrete wall.
The skin tore instantly.
The bully screamed desperately.
"PLEASE LET ME GOOO!!"
"Oh?"
Shinn smiled coldly.
"That's funny."
His eyes slowly darkened.
"Did the students you tortured get to leave?"
The bully trembled violently.
"N-No…"
"Exactly."
Shinn suddenly threw the bully across the hallway like trash.
The body rolled violently across the floor before crashing into the lockers.
Silence followed.
The remaining genetically enhanced bullies slowly stepped backward.
Fear had completely replaced their arrogance.
Because now they finally understood something horrifying.
Hiro and Shinn were monsters too.
Nearby—
Hiro was still punching the unconscious bully.
Punch.
Punch.
Punch.
Blood continued splattering across the ground.
His knuckles had already split open completely.
Yet he still continued.
Like his body refused to stop.
Shinn slowly looked toward him.
"…How the actual fuck is he still moving?"
Even after using that much force—
Even after losing that much energy—
Hiro still continued attacking like an enraged beast.
One of the remaining bullies nervously spoke.
"…W-What even is he…?"
Shinn quietly stared toward Hiro.
Then slowly answered.
"…Someone you idiots should never have touched."
Another bully immediately panicked.
"LET'S GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE—"
But before they could run—
Hiro suddenly stood up.
The movement alone made everyone freeze.
Blood dripped from his fists.
His breathing sounded heavy.
Violent.
His eyes slowly locked onto the remaining bullies.
The hallway instantly became silent again.
The bullies subconsciously stepped backward.
For the first time in their lives—
They truly feared death.
One of them shakily grabbed another weapon.
"A-ATTACK HIM TOGETHER—!!"
Three genetically enhanced bullies instantly rushed toward Hiro simultaneously.
One aimed a metal chair.
Another charged barehanded.
The third attempted tackling him from the side.
Then—
Hiro moved.
He instantly grabbed the metal chair mid-swing.
The overwhelming force cracked the chair frame slightly.
Then Hiro violently rammed it forward.
BOOOOM.
The chair smashed directly into the first bully's face.
The impact launched him backward into the lockers.
Before the second bully could react—
Hiro's fist crashed directly into his stomach.
The boy vomited blood instantly.
Then Hiro grabbed his head—
And smashed it downward into the floor.
BAAAM.
The tiles cracked beneath the impact.
The third bully finally managed tackling Hiro from the side—
But Hiro barely moved.
The bully's eyes widened.
"…W-What?!"
Hiro slowly turned his head toward him.
That terrifying expression alone almost stopped the bully's heart.
Then—
Hiro grabbed him by the neck.
Lifted him slightly above the floor.
And threw him violently across the hallway.
The body spun through the air before crashing through a classroom door.
CRAAASH.
Wood splintered everywhere.
Several students screamed from inside the classroom.
Meanwhile—
Shinn quietly stared at the destruction around him.
Blood.
Broken walls.
Collapsed students.
Fear everywhere.
His eyes slowly lowered.
"…William was right…"
For the first time—
A small feeling of guilt appeared inside him.
He wanted Hiroyuki to become strong enough to fight back against monsters like these.
But not like this.
Never like this.
"…I dragged him into hell."
Nearby—
Hiro slowly continued walking toward another unconscious bully.
His fists trembled violently again.
His rage still hadn't disappeared.
Shinn immediately narrowed his eyes.
"…No."
"If this continues…"
His expression darkened slightly.
"…he might actually kill someone."
Hiro raised his fist again.
Then—
Shinn suddenly appeared behind him.
"…Sorry, partner."
Before Hiro could react—
Shinn precisely struck the side of his neck.
Everything instantly stopped.
Hiro's body suddenly lost strength.
His eyes slowly lost focus.
He began falling backward.
"Hey—"
Shinn quickly caught him before his head hit the ground.
The hallway finally became silent.
Only the sound of distant ambulance sirens remained now.
Shinn quietly looked down at the unconscious Hiro resting against him.
Blood covered Hiro's fists completely.
Yet even unconscious—
His fingers still twitched slightly.
Like his rage still refused to disappear.
Shinn slowly smiled faintly.
"…You really are terrifying."
Then his expression softened slightly.
"But…"
He quietly adjusted Hiro's shoulder.
Soon afterward—
The sound of ambulances echoed loudly outside the school building.
"…you protected her."
"...and that's enough."
