"Are you sure about this, Ichika-kun?"
Nejire was standing behind Ichika while massaging his stiff shoulders.
"Yeah, this time it's my specialty."
Ichika was sipping water on a draw from a water bottle. He was sweating profusely from joining every sports match of his school and the next was in the Karate club. Right now, his outfit is 'dougi' which the uniform of the club.
"But you look tired."
"Nah, I'll be fine."
All the male members of the club are glaring at him when they saw him getting along with Nejire who was the most popular girl in their school.
Ichika stood up and went to the middle of the ring.
His opponent was huge and muscular guy which looks like a body of an adult. His appearance is close to a giant gorilla.
"Newbie or not, I will crush you down!"
He got threatened.
Ichika just smiled at him,
"Don't disappoint me, Senpai. Among the members of your club, you're the only one who's competent enough to face me. Others are nothing but a bunch of scrubs who tried martial art sports to make themselves popular. I'm quite disappointed."
He looked around at the audience.
"What did he say?"
"Get beaten, you bastard!"
"Die!"
The club members became furious from his mocking and the referee waved his hand down.
"Start!"
His opponent charged forward and immediately threw a straight punch.
"Hah!!"
Ichika just raised his guard and ducked down his head to avoid the attack then he slipped a over right hand counter, straight to his opponent's face.
*Bam!*
His opponent just fall down straight to the canvas with his body stiffening.
"Huh?"
Everyone in the club was completely shock with the instant knock out that sealed the match.
The referee raised his arm,
"Winner, Yagi Ichika!"
The others immediately went to check his opponent's condition and tried to wake him up. They can't believe that someone just knocked out a person who's twice bigger than to his opponent.
"Senpai! Are you okay? Please respond!"
"Gori-senpai!"
Ichika went to his corner where Nejire is holding a towel and she gave it to him.
"Thank you, Nejire-senpai." he wiped his sweat.
"You're such a bully, Ichika-kun."
"Don't worry, I held back a little. He'll be fine once he woke up."
"This is the last one, right?"
"Yeah, after this, I'm going back to Tokyo with school bus."
Nejire felt saddened but she just tried to smile at him.
"I guess this is a farewell. It might been short but it was fun."
Ichika took out his phone,
"Nejire-senpai, can I take your contact info?"
"Oh, sure!"
Nejire did the same and showed her info from the phone.
"Okay..."
Ichika sent her a message as her phone rings.
Nejire opened the message and read it, making her eyes widened.
[Thanks, my First Lady. I'll contact you if we have business trips.]
[Hehe... Sure, Mr. President.] Nejire replied.
The two of them gaze at each with a smile which frustrated the others in the background.
After that, Ichika gave his farewell to her and boarded the school bus back to Tokyo.
---
It was already dark when he returned back to Tokyo, he was walking among the people in the streets while looking at his phone.
[Nejire: Have you arrive?]
[Yeah, I'm walking home back. :Ichika]
[Nejire: I want to see the Might Tower.]
[Maybe next time. :Ichika]
[I'll teleport you to Tokyo. :Ichika]
[Nejire: Really? Yay!]
[Let's talk about it next time. :Ichika]
[😉 :Ichika]
[Nejire: Sure, I'm looking forward for it.]
[Nejire: 😊]
Ichika smiled then he closed his phone and put it back on his pocket.
When he arrived back home and entered his workshop,
"I'm home!"
"Welcome back home, Father."
It was Roboco who came to greet him.
Her hairstyles is different which is mid-length dark brown hair tied into two twin-tails with ribbons that lie on her shoulders.
"Have you run maintenance on yourself?"
"Not yet, Father."
"Then let me do it for you."
Ichika walked inside and his robot AI daughter followed after him.
A day later, Ichika was walking to school with Toru and this time, Momo is with them, wearing the same school uniform.
"Ichika-kun, how was your practice games yesterday? Also from the other day?" Toru asked him while he is yawning from drowsiness.
"I won but, it's pretty tiring."
"You've been a member of basketball team since elementary. Why did you join all the sport club's practice game as if you're still a choosing which sport club you want to join."
"Nothing really, I just want give it all a try. The principal is begging me to carry on any of the school's sports club."
"Well, with your athleticism, you can carry any sports club to championship. You should at least join one, Ichika-kun."
"To be honest, I don't really want to join on any club. I will go straight home and build something better in my workshop."
"Hehehe... I see."
Toru just giggled at his decision.
Momo who's walking behind them came forward to other side of Ichika then asked,
"Uhm... Hagakure--"
"It's Toru!"
Toru was pushing her to call her with her first name.
"Ah. Eh... Okay, Toru-san. Did you join any club?"
"Nope, I also go straight home and play any game with Roboco and Manami-chan. It's more fun playing with them."
"Ah, I see..."
Momo awkwardly smiled at her response.
"What about you, Momo? Any club you want to join?"
"Nothing really. I also don't feel joining any club."
Toru was happy and she raised her hand.
"Really? Then from now on, we are the go home club!" she declared then at Ichika for confirmation.
"Nee, what do you think, Ichika-kun!"
"It's fine, as long as I'm not the leader." Ichika lazily responded.
Toru glanced at Momo,
"Momo? Wanna join?"
"Okay..."
"Yay, we're officially the go home club!"
Ichika yawned again and rubbed his left eye with his wrist.
"I want to go home and sleep."
When they arrived on school campus, most of the students on the background are glancing at them.
"Isn't that Ichika and famous invisible beauty, Hagakure Toru?"
"Look! That guy is walking with another beauty!"
"Who's that? She looks very tall!"
"Walking to school with two beauties? How envying!"
All of them seething at Ichika but the person himself was ignoring them.
Toru and Momo noticed the resentful stares at him.
"Is this okay? It seems a lot of people hate him." Momo whispered.
"It's fine. Ichika-kun is already used to this."
"Eh? What did he do to people hate him?"
"Ichika tends to be arrogant to strangers who offended him but once they known him. They become his friends quickly."
"Okay..."
"Ichika!"
Someone is running towards him and it was team Captain of the basketball club.
"Huh?"
"You bastard! You're the one who puts stones in my bag, right? Damn you!"
Ichika remembered what he's talking about and he immediately ran away.
"Ah."
"Come back here!"
"Sorry, it's a prank, Captain!"
The two ran around the campus.
Toru just giggled at them,
"Sometimes, he's too mischievous."
"I see... How childish..."
Momo looked at them with squinted eyes in disappointment.
