"You took a photo of that part?!" Shouts Zoe.
"Yep. Wanna See?" Replied Doo Lee with a proud smile.
"Nope~That's gross!" Trying to hide her interest since Daniel is here in the room.
"Zack's punch was so lightnight fast. I couldn't even see his fist," flattered his goonie. Though Zack's pretending not to be interested or proud he actually wants them to proclaim it louder for Daniel to hear.
But then Mira said something, "I really hate that. He's always fighting." She is the girl who Zack wants to go out with, but hates his quick temper. She's a fan of Duke's music, yet Duke shows disinterest in her and is not tempted by her beauty.
Then as Daniel was sitting in his chair two girls started to flirt with him, "Hey Daniel...Got a girlfriend?" However, their interaction was put to a stop by the prowling lioness Zoe Park.
Then they said something rude that really stopped the concentrated Duke amidst his reading, "Haha come to think of it. That piggy's mom must be a piggy too...Pigs are born from pigs. Hahaha."
Daniel's very annoyed by all their talk since he can relate to the poor guy's situation that would have been his. And this anger is only continuing to boil, 'Because of him, his mom is getting insulted...Even when she does her best. If you want to insult, just insult him!'
Without realizing the words coming out of his mouth Daniel spoked up, "Hey, you guys...You've gone too far." Everyone in the room was shocked that Daniel would actually stand up against their trash talk.
Pretty soon Duke can only watch as a crowd begin to gather in the Fashion Department as everybody gathers to watch the fight.
"There's Zack Lee! Lightning hands!"
"Why's he standing there? Is he scared?"
"Zack lee! Stop!" Shouts Zoe who's trying to protect her boy prey.
Duke decides to just watch this time because he knows Daniel has the ability to defend himself. Then Jay steps in between but Zack manages to flick his grip.
Despite the right straight that is flying to his face at incredible speed Daniel manages to easily dodge it. And in his perspective the punch is actually flying at a slow speed. Easily moving away his head which amazes the crowd.
Not only dodging his punch one time, Daniel was able to continuously avoid the jabs despite the increasing momentous speed, 'The hell is this guy?! He's fast but not as Duke's his is even faster.'
Facing the humiliating situation of Daniel avoiding his punches really hurt his pride. Combined with the fact that Duke freaking destroyed his ego completely with an uppercut.
Then after catching the unexpected punch that almost reached his face the crowd shouts with excitement:
"Sick man! Never see that!"
"Damn! He's quick like Duke! Wooah!"
Amidst the voices of the crowd Daniel the master of dodging hit for his first punch at the solar plexus of Zack's stomach. Which was with enough strength that launches him on the ground coughing. Duke just watches with a grin at this familiar scene.
Through this one fight it reaches an acclamation for Daniel which begins to spread throughout the rest of the school. And the rest of the departments begin to take notice.
At night while walking back from the boxing club he was walking close to the commercial store and saw that Daniel and Jiho was fighting. But noticing that Vasco was there, Duke thought for a second and just left the scene.
The next day while Jiho was taking food for the other guys Daniel saw this and looked at Duke who was next time with a look of question. Realizing what Daniel wants to do Duke nods his head to say 'Go ahead'.
So then their table now has an additional member. Duke and Jay look at each other then at the hilarious scene of Daniel enthusiastically getting to know the awkward Jiho.
"Must be looking out for him~"
"Heart of gold."
Then a sudden student spoke, "The guy who took down Zack?"
"Hehe yep."
Zack then turns his head to look back in angle at who dares to say that behind his back. To see Vin Jin, the guy who originally bullied Duke in the original story.
"I heard that you lost to a pretty boy Zack," looking arrogantly at Zack.
"But I could probably take you down," said Zack with coolness and his hands in his pocket.
"You wanna die?"
"Try me."
"Hey!" Daniel said hi to Vasco who was the one to disrupt the fight between Jiho and himself last night. This only leaves Vasco and Jace of the Architecture Department. Thinking Daniel is looking to pick a fight.
"Who are you? You know me?" Asked Vasco with an intimidating presence, "You. You've never been taken down, huh?" The vibe is a little intimidating to Daniel.
Then he places his hands on Daniel's shoulder to pressure him, "Even if you're good looking. Don't screw around." The familiar squeeze of death which brought down people to their knees.
But before he could've put down any more strength Duke stepped in to lift his hand away with such a strong squeezing grip that made Vasco squint in pain.
"I don't think my friend meant to bother you. He thought you were someone else," said Duke. Then he put his other hand on Vasco's shoulder and pressed down with enough strength that made him almost squat on the ground.
'Duke's strong,' thinks Vasco.
Before it spirals into a fight Jace stepped in to block in between. Speaking to Daniel, "Haha! Yea! So you thought he was someone else? Forget it and eat.
When the crowd dissipates Daniel eats with tears in his for Duke and Jace stepping in to help him, 'Jace is so sweet, I'd like to be his friend..But Duke called me a friend...He already saved me twice. So kind." Leaving the awkward Jiho on the side.
Later that day the goonies who were trying to be friendly to Daniel asked him to go eat later the day. Daniel also wanted to ask Duke to come with him but Duke politely refused the offer since as a celebrity it wouldn't be convenient.
