After the battle Shu had with Arthur Jenna had signed him up for the academy as his Mother, Shu agreed of course after being told by Jenna that the guy who stopped his kick worked there.
"So Jenna, about this academy thing, what I do there?"
Shu questioned while walking behind Jenna.
"It's a place where you learn"
Replied Jenna with simplicity as She looked for some clothes in what seemed to be the men's section in a clothes shop
"Learn what?"
Shu kept questioning as Jenna sighed continuing to look
"You'll learn whatever it is you need to learn Shu"
Jenna replied raising her voice slightly in a bit of irritation, which made Shu scratch his head proceeding to change the subject now that he had no more questions to ask about the academy
"Well then, what are we doing here?"
Shu asked while looking around the shop
"We're here to get you a uniform. The actual uniform costs way too much for us to buy but you still need a uniform so we are buying you something similar to it. Which is why we're here"
Jenna explained while grabbing some white pants, analyzing them for a few seconds before laying them over her shoulder
"Oh, alright"
Shu replied while laying his hands over the back of his head, balancing backward slightly as Jenna stared at him
"Call me mom"
Jenna ordered while walking towards some white shirts, beginning to look for something that fit Shu
"Huh? what? Why? , you aren't my mother so I don't see why I should talk to you like you are"
Shu explained while shaking his head from left to right in disapproval
"I'll be acting like your mother while we're on this mission, so you have to address me as such, do you understand?"
Jenna questioned while grabbing a white long-sleeved shirt throwing it over her shoulder above the pants she already had on it
"Uh, sure"
Shu replied while turning his head away from her, he was a bit embarrassed as he had never addressed anyone that way until now
"Alright, we're done with-"
Jenna's words were cut off as a painful scream was heard from the outside of the clothes shop which made Shu immediately run out to try and figure out where it came from, making Jenna sigh loudly
"He'll blow our cover one of these days"
Jenna said to herself while folding the clothes she gathered to then place them on top of her left arm.
While that happened Shu found himself in an alleyway, hearing loud hits and a lot of whimpering, which was the first thing that led him to the alleyway, and the more he heard it, the angrier he got, on every hit he would tighten his teeth, pushing them against each other as he clutched his hands with force
"Oi"
Shu whispered while walking in deeper into the alleyway, and as he did so, his blood would boil as his face reflected that of an angry beast, he was frowning so hard his eyes were twitching
"Hey, who's there?"
Said a deep elderly voice as quiet whimpers were heard as a man stood up from the darkest of the corner of the alleyway, showing himself. It was a tall disgusting looking man, his hair was long but dirty, food stains were all over his clothes, while a strong stench came out of his mouth
"Ah, it's just a kid, get outta here before I beat the crap out of you"
The man demanded while flicking his wrist in annoyance, causing Shu to inhale, calming himself down a bit
"Do you like hitting people?"
Shu questioned while pointing at a naked person whose whimpers could be heard across the entire alleyway
"What'd you say? didn't I tell you to get out of here? huh!?"
Yelled the man, questioning the boy as he got closer to him, grabbing a bottle halfway filled with alcohol from the ground gripping it tightly intending to hit Shu with it
"Grandpa once told me that if I ever found someone who enjoys preying on the weak that I should beat their asses to a pulp. And now I see why"
Shu whispered as the man leaned in forward showing his ear off to the pissed off Shu
"What was that?, speak up will ya!"
Ordered the man while breaking his bottle on Shu's head, causing all the alcohol that was in it to fall all over Shu's hair and shoulders dirtying the clothes Ayami got him, making him even angrier
"Sorry, I guess I forgot one little thing, Grandpa also told me that, bastards like you don't listen to words"
Said Shu, insulting the smelly man while looking up at him with disgust
"Why you little- Who do you think you are!?"
The man yelled while swinging at Shu with his left hand
"You act like you're the center of the world yet, your punches are so weak"
Shu replied while catching the man's fist before fighting his grip on it as he pulled his right arm backwards preparing a swing of his own
"Here, let show you what a punch looks like"
Shu whispered as his arm disappeared in a blur as he slowly let the man's hand go as the man himself fell down on his knees while blood began to spill from his mouth onto the ground
"Be glad I didn't kill you"
Said Shu while kicking the man's unconscious body before walking to the whimpering person
"Hey there, you alright?"
Shu questioned while holding onto the trembling body of the beaten up person
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry"
Was all that Shu heard from the whimpering person as he sighed
"Hey, uh, you need any clothes?"
Shu questioned while the person slowly turned around, looking up at Shu with eyes of hope
"What's your name?"
Shu asked while giving them a warm smile trying his best to comfort them
"Yuyen..that's my name, Yuyen"
Said the person while turning around, showing off their body to Shu
"Oh so you're a girl, I couldn't tell from the way you were sitting in the dark like that"
Said Shu with a small smile, looking at the girl carefully, she had short pink hair, smooth skin, and bright red eyes
"Well, let's get you out of here. I know a person who can buy you good looking clothes, her name's Jenna, she's um...she's uh"
Shu stopped for a moment, remembering what Jenna told him a few minutes ago
"She's my mom!"
He said with a gigantic grin, causing the girl to blush as Shu grabbed her hand, picking her up from the floor, heading back to the clothes Shop.
