Lee, Davis, and Jacob sat together at lunch. This had become the norm for their little trio, along with the eyes that were locked onto them.
Random Student #1: Silent Night and the new guy, what a sight but, who's the loser with them?
Random Student #2: Probably some poor bystander who became their slave.
Davis shoots glares at the people bad-mouthing them and especially Jacob.
Jacob: It's fine, Davis, can't lie, even I don't think I belong here with you two either.
Lee: Bullshit, Jacob, you're a part of our group, no matter what anyone says.
Jacob: Thanks, guys.
Davis, agreeing with Lee, nods at Jacob.
Lee: That goes to you too, Davis.
Davis smiles at them both and notices Mary sitting with her friends at a separate table.
Christina: So, June, when are you going to confess to him?
June: What?! I can't!
Christina: Come on, Mary, your younger brother is friends with him, right?
Mary ignores them, paying mind to a lonely Scorpion, munching away his food.
Christina; Earth to Mary!
Mary: Huh?
Your brother is friends with the New kid, right?
Mary: Oh, yeah.
Christina: Can you ask him to help poor June here confess?
Mary looks at June, who looks defeated.
Mary: *Sigh* Okay, I'll ask him.
June: Thanks!
June's face lights up with a big infectious smile.
Christina: Now onto you, Mary, who's got you all distracted?
Mary: No one.
Mary looks back at Scorpion who catches her gaze. Her face flushes red. Their gaze lingers for a bit til all is disrupted by the doors barging open.
A group of eleven guys walks in, all wearing black and green blazers with green hats. In the hands of all the men are two files.
Blake: Alright, seven of you go to the table with Silent Night and Lee Lenchu. The rest of you go to Scorpion.
The first group approaches. They surround Lee and Davis and go for an all-out attack.
Before they can make their first move, Lee enters his stance and Davis clenches his fist. Lee sends one of them flying with a spinning kick. Davis picks up one of them and tosses him to another. Lee simultaneously blocks the attacks of two of them, sweeps the leg of one, and backkicks the other.
Lee: Too slow, fuckheads.
Over at Scorpion he blocks one of their punches with his chain and wraps it around their arm. He pulls them in closer and knocks them to the ground with a powerful hit to the chin with his elbow. He blocks another punch and performs the same takedown.
Random Scout #1: You're just a one-trick pony.
This one tries to kick but is met with a block from Scorpion's Chain and is pulled down to the ground. As he tries to get back up Scorpion stomps down on his stomach.
Scorpion: And stay down!
Davis tanks the attacks coming from the remaining two. Lee comes in with the secret assist and sends a high kick to one of their faces, dropping them. The last remaining one looks exhausted.
Blake looks around at the beatdown his men just took.
Blake: *Sigh* Fuck. Jake ain't gonna like this.
The last one standing looks over at Blake.
Blake: (We're just scouts, we have no business fighting a losing battle. Jake and his two horsemen can deal with the damage) Wake them, we're going.
Lee walks up to Blake.
Lee: Who are you?
Blake: We're just a couple of scouts, that's all I'll say.
The two left remaining help their buddies up and out of the cafeteria.
Blake: Good luck. You're gonna need it.
Jacob runs up to Lee and Davis.
Jacob: Are y'all okay?
Lee: Yeah, how abt you over there?
Lee looks at Scorpion, who is currently wrapping his chain around his arms.
Scorpion: Im good.
After wrapping, he walks out of the cafeteria.
Davis, confused, looks over at Lee.
Lee: Yeah, that was odd. hey, Jacob, who are the scouts?
Jacob: The scouts are what they sound like, scouts. The fray's full of them. Certain high-ranking Fray schools have them so they can scout out any strong competition or just know things. These scouts are most likely from Ringstone High. Jake is the strongest there, landing himself at ninth in the fray rankings.
Lee: So he's strong.
Jacob: Very. If they sent scouts over, it most likely means they're looking to add you on the Fray and fight you head-on. To rank you properly.
Lee: What do you think, Davis, can take them?
Davis smiles and nods.
Lee: Then it's settled, when they come for us, we'll be ready and fight back.
