Chapter 3 - In Which, Monster Awakens Inside of Me.

As I walked from the canteen to the classroom, I heard Inu-chan screaming,

"O- Oni- chan? You bastard! You wi-

*Bam!!* *Thud*

What was that sound?

I instantly rushed to the classroom.

I know that sound. That sound… is made when someone gets punched.

I open the classroom door and see the tables are all messed up. Kota and Inu-chan are groveling on the ground while clenching their stomachs as they cough and gasp for air.

The 4 'Rulers' Logical saw before are laughing while stepping on them.

Their attention was led to me when I opened the door.

The boy with the mohawk hair, who has his shoe on Inu's head looks at me and smirks, "Oh! Kenma-kun! Look! Your two little friends are here." He then crouches and grabs Inu's hair, "This annoying bitch finally gives up being smug. Hahaha… You should've seen how we beat up her brother."

"I beg of you! Don't... hurt... Inu." Kota grasps the Ruler's hand.

"HUH?! Can't hear you!" The Ruler kicks Kota's face as he stands up again with an obnoxious grin.

Ko...ta?

I see Kota's face all bloodied like someone had dipped his entire head in a bucket of blood. I see the mohawk Ruler touching Inu in many inappropriate spots while Inu tries to resist out of the man's grasp.

It's the same view... It's the same view as ten years ago...

No... No-No-No-No-No-NO!

Stop... Please...

A scene flashed inside my head. A scene the three personalities desperately tried to forget.

I close my eyes and let rage fuel my inner self.

*CLICK*

Goofy? GOOFY?! STOP! What are you trying to do?! Monster is unstable! We have discussed this. We can't let the beast roam in the outside world again! It's too dangerous.

Even after Logical's clamor, it was too late. Goofy did the one thing that we discussed not to do. No-no-no-no! If he is let out to fight, my business plans won't work now!

Why? Goofy... You... Why?!

*CLICK* <#$%^&*!>

Ah...

The outside world.

How long has it been since I have felt this air?

*Inhale* *exhale*

I open my eyes to see many young boys and girls watching me with terror on their faces. I rise from the ground. My face grins with excitement. I drool on the white ceramic floor.

And there I am, awoken from my slumber.

Hehe...

My dear Goofy was afraid. He called me asking for help. He said that his friends were beaten up. Boohoo. How sad. Oh, how tragic.

I couldn't care less about Goofy. What I care about the most... is the feast that is served right in front of me.

I jumped and towered above the boys and girls to meet the fighters that brought about my presence in the outside world again. My hair touches the ceiling as I spin.

360 degrees, 720 degrees, then I stretched my leg into a kick.

"What?" The boy said before a 100 kg force hit him at the side of his cheek.

He flew four tables across and landed at the wall, knocking him out.

"All of you… come… Let me do you the honor to feel what Hell feels like…."

"Shit! This new guy is a fighter." The boy with big legs said. I read his nametag on his school uniform. His name is Tori.

The sunglasses boy is Tumizaki, and the boy with the colossal figure is Makuza.

HAHAHA... Tori... Makuza... Tumizaki... You are now declared dead by me.

"You have done something not even God dared to do," I said as I charged at Tumizaki.

He got into a boxing stance and jabbed at my face. I ducked down and uppercut his chin.

Then Makuza tries to hug me low, aiming at my hips.

This is a new technique I haven't seen.

I front kicked him in the face, but he captured it with both of his hands and pulled it towards him.

Oho? How interesting.

I jumped with my remaining foot and freed myself using the jump's momentum. As I flew mid-air, I punched Tori in the forehead, who was sneaking behind me while falling.

Tori and I fell down to the ground. I quickly recovered myself, and as soon as I turned around, Makuza grappled me down to the floor and locked my feet with his. He tried to punch my face, but I quickly dodged it to the right.

I gain my posture back and push Makuza off the ground and do a simple split to free myself from his grapple.

I jumped back to gain safe range.

"You know how to escape my grappling? You have experience, do you." Makuza said in a voice suited for his big body.

"I have never seen one such as you." A martial artist with grappling techniques... Hmm... Let's see... Have I ever met one like him?

If I did, I probably killed him. Hmm... But his techniques are quite peculiar. If I did meet one such as him, then I should've remembered it.

From Makuza's way of speaking, I can surely say that he takes pride in his technique. So... What if...

I crush that pride, bits by bits, essence by essence. It will be fun to see his surprised face when his pride technique is being copied, as easy as it is to copy a jab.

"I do wrestling. The grappling trick I used has never been escaped. I was surprised, you see." This boy talks a lot. "I never thought such a tiny guy to have a big strength."

Suddenly my fighter instinct flares. I crouched down and looked up to see Tori trying to kick my head off.

Makuza was trying to distract me!

I turned around and hugged Tori the same way Makuza tried to hug me.

Makuza style: Leg Grapple.

"Wha-what?!" Makuza gasped behind me.

Hehehhahaha! Do you really think such a simple technique can't be copied?

I locked Tori's legs and punched him once in the face to knock him out.

Let's see... His legs are his main weapons.

I unlocked the leg lock and elbowed the leg hard.

*CRACK*

I broke his leg. Tori screamed, awoken by the sudden pain that emerged in his brain.

I see Makuza trying to grapple me away from Tori, but before that, I jump.

I jump above him, and as soon as my legs and his head are aligned vertically, I push downwards. Hitting Makuza behind his head using the force of my jump. His head crashed into the ceramic below, and blood started flowing out of it.

A girl suddenly screamed and hurdled out of the classroom. Soon, students began running out one by one while some brave ones stayed to record using their phones.

I feel Tori grabbing my foot.

Hmm... Not happening. I stretch my foot up, releasing my leg from his grasp as I use all the force in my leg to push my foot straight downward, hitting his cheek and cracking it.

Tori and Makuza have been defeated.

"The technique was great Makuza, but you lack wits. Imagine working hard to master one technique, just to be copied by a random boy in one sight. Pfftt Hahhahahahahaha! HAHAHAHAH-

"Urgh."

Hmm? Ohohoho? Tori is still conscious? Even after I broke his face. Well well... I have to say I'm quite surprised.

I crouch down while staring at him, desperately trying to move his hands but to no avail. I stare at him with my grin still intact. I grab his hair and hold him up so that his face and mine are on equal ground.

"Tori-" He spits blood on my face. I touch the blood with my left hand. "Tohohohohohori... Haha... You remind me of 'him.' The first guy I killed. *sigh* It's sad, you know. You have a talent within you." I pushed my finger onto his forehead. "Instead of nurturing it, you're out here wasting it to beat up some boys. *sigh* A good servant but a bad master."

I grab his chin and hair, then twist it, but before I manage to kill him, I sense a stinging pain on my thigh.

I looked at it and widened my eyes.

A... Syringe?!

Tch! I was getting into the good part.

With reluctance, I faint above Makuza's body.
