"Where am I?" Akira was horrified. He scanned his surroundings. He didn't knew where or how far he was from the original spot. There was nothing....not even a single familiar scene. It was completely different. In short he was lost. He looked up at the sky.
"But...I couldn't help it...." He uttered helplessly. He couldn't help it when he saw Kazuhiko flirt with Makato in the open. When he saw him flirting with another person he could barely contain his tears. Without realising his legs began to move without his permission and by the time he came back to his senses he was already in this unfamiliar street. He had yet to mend his broken heart but the other person..... Tears welled up in his eyes just by thinking how helplessly in love he was with that person. Maybe.....he loved Kazuhiko more than he thought he did.
"Oho! ~Whistle~ Aren't you pretty for an Omega?" A crude voice whistled at Akira bringing his attention back to his current situation. It was a man. A man in his late twenties. He was accompanied by another four men.
"Woah! It's true. He has quite a pretty face. And wait...isn't his smell intoxicatingly sweet. Not to mention, his skin is pale, almost the colour of paper. But...aren't his eyes a bit red? Were you perhaps crying?" One of them spoke as they approached Akira.
"Were you perhaps dumped by your boyfriend? Hey, what kind of man would make a beautiful Omega like you cry? Come here, play with us will you? We will treat someone pretty like you with great care."
Akira saw the lust and malice in their predatory eyes. Not good. He thought as he made a run for it. Without looking back he ran at full speed, running for his dear life. His consciousness was jumbled up, his legs were moving on their own without looking for a way out of this situation.
"Hey....He is running away. Go over to that side. You go there." The group of men chased after him. Two of them went to different directions.
Pant. Pant.
"Huff. Huff." According to the original body's memory this was the worst situation any Omega could get in. In this world the fate of unprotected Omegas were very cruel. Akira huffed his chest out, breathing in and breathing out. He fell back onto the wall, trapped on the spot. "Crap.....huff..huff...." Was this going to be the end of him? Did he just transmigrated into this world so that he would get a pathetic ending like this? First falling in love then falling out of it.....and now....was he going to be the victim of a gang rape.... Just because of a broken heart....was he, a modern man about to die a pathetic death despite being given a second chance to life? No. No! He could feel his heart beating nervously, fear made his palms sweat as if his hands were wet.
"You....huff..huff...run pretty fast for a fragile Omega. Though it's end game now."
The group of men began approaching Akira. their eyes consumed by lust. They could smell this omega's sweet scent, it smelled like candy. Sweet candy. One of them couldn't help but lick his lips with his tongue creepily.
Something....think of something. With every step they took towards him the urge of wanting to puke kicked his senses. He scanned the nearby area. "Weapon....I need a weapon to defend myself....." He murmured to himself looking for something that he could use as a weapon. Thankfully his gaze landed on a wooden lock. It wasn't big but it could still suffice as a weapon for now. Akira made a run for it.
Yank! Thud!
He felt a hand grab him by his leg. With a thug Akira felt his entire body being yanked backwards. He let out a scream in discomfort, pain erupting from the place where his hair was being grabbed. Then he heard one of them speak making his body tremble with disgust, fear and hatred.
"Well Well. Aren't you resisting us a bit fiercely? Didn't we told you? We will make sure to treat a beautiful person like you.....Whack!" He didn't even get to finish his words when he felt a hand puch him in the stomach, the bone crushing strength in them made him vomit a mouthful of blood.
"You....who..." He didn't even get to finish his sentence when he felt someone yank his head by his hair. It was then he saw the person who punched him. The instigator was looking down at him with cold chilling eyes. His black hair, and his brown eyes were glowing like a beast in the dark, the look on his face was as if he would kill him this instant. The man felt the tug on his hair get more tighter. He let out a loud scream.
"AHHHHH....painful...its painful....." He shouted loudly. "What are you doing just staring at him? Attack him!"
When his friends heard him shout they ran towards the intruding person. They clenched their hands into a fist and sent a punch towards the person. It was just a youngster. The youngster dodged their punches. He raised his leg and kicked the two of them hard on their heads. Then he used his other hand and grabbed the third man by his face. With a loud crashing sound the head of the man was smashed against the wall.
Thuweck! Thuweck! Crash!
All three of them were lying on the ground, wincing in pain. The youngster then turned his attention back onto the first man. His head was still grasped firmly in his hand. Adding more Strength into his palm he smashed the man's head onto the ground so hard that his entire body bounced back after hitting the ground.
Akira stared at the scene wide eyed, his eyes were fixated at the person who had saved him. Impossible! He thought. He was rendered speechless by the identity of his saviour.
It was Makato. The person who had tried to ruin him several times.
"You.....you....." Akira stuttered. He couldn't follow what to say next.
Ivar stared at him with an indifferent gaze. "With this we are even." He thought to himself. The original Makato almost caused Akira to be gang raped. And now Ivar, who was inside Makato's body changed the original script of the protagonist being almost raped by a bunch of men by saving him from them. Now they were even.
Without speaking a word he walked over and picked up the wooden log. Then he handed it over to Akira.
The latter was confused.
Ivar did not say anything. He retreated a bit and then he raised his leg and kicked down on the man lying on the ground. Akira got his message. He stared at the wooden log in his hand then at the man who had almost violated him.
"Gulp!" He couldn't help but swallow nervously. The fear was still there and so was the anger. Staring at the man with nervous yet angry eyes he walked over. Then he raised his hand and....
Whack! Whack! Whack!
"AHHHHH...it hurts.... Ahhhhhhh....."
The sound of a man screaming resounded in the alley.
Ivar stared at the white lotus protagonist of this world who by the way was beating up a man that tried to rape him. He was taking out his anger back onto the dirty scumbag on the ground. He had the intention of saving Akira today no matter what but he also had the intention of testing him....testing if this white lotus son of fate would take upon the chance to retaliate when required or not..... Seeing how invested the protagonist was on beating up these men.....
"Nulis." Ivar called out to his partner inside him mind.
"Yes. Ivar." Came the system's reply.
"Nothing. I just realised once more that there are good and low quality type of white lotuses." Ivar spoke as a matter of fact.
Nulis was silent. Ivar, that's the second time I am hearing you say. It thought to itself. Silently.
When Akira was done venting they walked out from the alley as if nothing had happened. Soon they were back at the school's original location. As soon as they arrived Kioshi and Masaaki noticed them coming together. When they saw Akira's disheveled apperance and the small bump on his forehead, both of them glared at Makato. They ran over and pulled their angel onto their side. Both of them speculated that this gangster had done something horrible to Akira again but to their surprise they heard him give out words of gratitude.
"Th..thank you." Akira gave out his words of appreciation. He now realised that If Makato wanted to, he had the power to crush him under his feet yet he didn't do that.
Only if Akira were to know that the original Makato did wanted to kill him....he would be hella traumatised.
Both Kioshi and Masaaki were shocked upon witnessing him thank Makato. The other person just nod his head once and left.
"What happened? And why are you hurt?" Both of them asked at the same time.
Akira saw the worry in their eyes. He hung down his head and lied guiltily. "I....anyway, he saved me this time. I feel dirty. I want to bathe." He dodged the question as he wasn't ready to talk about what happened just now. It was horrible. The worst of worst.
Both Kioshi and Masaaki got the message. They could only stop asking and let him go inside.
"I took my eyes off you just for a few minutes. Heh!" Kazuhiko chuckled staring at Ivar from the distance. He didn't specifically know what Ivar was up to but he knew that it had something with the mysterious presence he knew of. Time would tell him everything. He thought to himself.
The night fell. Arrangments for staying over had already been prepared. Male and Female students were separated into groups. All the female students were given a separate ward. While the male students were divided into two groups, Omegas and Betas were given a separate ward while the Alphas had to stay in a different ward so as to avoid any complications. This rule applied on the staffs as well. All the students went to sleep and before they realised the next dawn of a wonderful morning had already come. The wonderful trip was almost like a leisure vacation for all the students.
The view of the ocean, the sound of chattering youths, the melody of laughter, the sun was kissing down on the exposed skin of young people at the peak of their adolescent. Some people were even bonding over this trip, like, the Alpha female math teacher hitting on the English teacher, who was a female Omega. Or the reclusive History teacher stepping out of his comfort zone to experience a beach date with P.E teacher, who was his childhood lover.
This trip looked more like a vacation for sweet couples bonding over.
Ivar was seated next to Shinjiro. Across him were some other students. And among them was Akira. He kept glancing at Ivar from time to time. And everytime their eyes met Akira would flash him a slight smile of good will. It was written clearly in his eyes that now he regarded Ivar, or rather, Makato, as a good person. This white lotus protagonist has completely forgiven Makato for all the bad deeds he had done to him only because he was saved by him a few days ago.
"The lunch is taking a bit of time. Why is it so late today?" One of the students complained. His stomach was crying for food by now.
"But man...I never knew that school trips were this amazing. At this point I think they are a blessing in disguise." One of them chimed, grinning like a fool. The scene of the female students dressed in lovely dresses healed his single heart. Many of the male students couldn't help but admire the scene before them.
Shinjiro noticed that Akira kept glancing over at them. He turned to Makato and gestured him to come closer.
"Did something happen between you and Akira?" He whispered into Ivar's ear.
"Not much. I just saved him some trouble yesterday." Came an immediate reply.
"Oh." Shinjiro was a bit curious but he was not the type of person to poke his nose around. However deep inside he was relieved because with how things were right now he didn't have to worry about Makato's safety. Kazuhiko was chasing after him while Akira seemed to have forgiven him too. Kioshi and Masaaki on the other hand didn't try to get revenge on Makato, which was a good thing.
Moreover Makato seemed to have regained his senses. He had stopped doing bad stuff to others. His best friend was safe from harm for now.
"Everyone....your lunches are finally here." The school president made an announcement. Following his words groups of alpha male students brought the necessary equipments required for their lunch.
"Kyyaaaaaa.... Those are....barbeque equipments!" The girls screamed in excitement.
"What the...for real? Is this how school trips usually are?" One of the boys exclaimed.
"Teacher, please extend out school trip for a month." Some of the students shouted out as a joke in unison.
"Okay. Everyone attention please. Today's special barbeque treat is a special present from our school principal, who is probably abroad on his honeymoon, with his newly wed wife. So make sure to thank him when he returns okay?" The teacher clapped his hand and the rest of them followed.
"Eh....? Teacher, why are we hearing this now? We thought our Princi was gonna stay single for the rest of his life." One of the students shouted.
"Right! So our old Princi finally found his match after spending all his fifty years without a lover? Who is it? We are so curious." Another added.
The school president gave them a stern look. "Hey. Hey. Hey! Where are your manners? Aren't you guys gonna thank him for the treat?"
"Thank you for this amazing wedding present!" All of them shouted loudly.
In this way the Ocean beach was filled by the delicious smell of meat. Students were divided into small groups and everyone had their own space for enjoyment either it be eating or something else.
"What are you doing?" Ivar asked glancing at Shinjiro, who was taking the scissors from his hand.
The later looked at him. "I...was thinking of grilling meat for you. Since you have been doing it from the beginning....I thought you should have some yourself...."
Ivar let him take over as he sat down. He couldn't help but smile a bit when he noticed how clumsy Shinjiro was either it be cutting the meat to prices or grilling them. This person knew nothing about how to grill and roast properly. He let out a small laugh. "You are awful at this, aren't you?"
Shinjiro smiled awkwardly. Because what he said was true. "Right. I am." He murmured in a low voice but did not give up. Finally when he finished grilling a few of them he placed them on Ivar's plate.
Ivar stared down at the burnt meat before him. He picked up the meat using the chopstick provided to them to taste it.
"Chew....chew...chew...." His brows nudged a bit.
Shinjiro saw the strange expression he was making. "...It doesn't taste good, does it?"
Ivar gave him a glance before replying. "Well...it is edible. Though there is room for improvement. But its not that bad."
So...its bad... He thought.
"Its better if I do it." Ivar suggested.
"I will do it.". magnetic voice sounded from behind him, the voice falling right next to his ears. He didn't even have to turn around to see who it was.
Kazuhiko sat down on the empty spot next to Ivar.
"Mind if I join too?" Another person walked over. It was Kenta. As he asked he looked at Shinjiro.
The later also looked at him. He put away the burnt meat he had grilled replying with a slight smile. "Yes. sure."
Kenta walked over and sat down next to Shinjiro. While taking his seat he glanced at the plate the other person was hiding.
"Did you grill those?"
Shinjiro was embarrassed. He dodged the question. "The...they are bad...i mean burnt. Its better to throw them in the trash." He stuttered while speaking. Ugh. So embarrassing. He thought.
Kenta smiled noticing the blush creeping up Shinjiro's face. He took the plate from him. With bare hands he took one of the meat that was almost brown in colour and tossed it into his mouth. Chew. Chew.
"Ah...." Shinjiro's mouth was wide open. "Tha...that was burnt...like really bad... You shouldn't have eaten it."
Kenta looked up at him. "Its...edible. But you are really bad at it. Let me teach you the correct way to do it." His feedback was the same as Ivar's. Taking up the role of a mentor he began to teach Shinjiro the perfect way to grill meat.
Meanwhile Kazuhiko on the other hand was also busy grilling the perfect meat for his kitten. He had seen it from the distance that his kitty had barely eaten as he was busy preparing the meat for this table.
Kioshi and Masaaki who were a few distances away from them couldn't help but kept glancing towards their table.They couldn't believe it. Makato, that selfish and cruel bastard had just put others before himself..... Not to mention the aura he was giving off felt strange. It was as if his image, including his temperament had changed to a completely different person. He seemed.....kinda more.....
"I can see why Kazuhiko fell for him."
A sudden comment made both of them froze into a statue.
