Ten year old Takemichi was having a normal day.

He had finished school and was coming back home. The same path. The same time. It was the same pace. Nothing different.

Except for one thing.

In a playground nearby, he saw a bunch of kids surrounding a boy a little shorter than himself. It was pretty obvious they were bullying the boy, who looked a little older than Takemichi himself.

Him in all his self righteous rage was about March up to them and give them a right scolding.

But he paused in his steps when he saw the boy smash his fist into one of the bullies, and the bully went flying right past Takemichi.

Takemichi's jaw dropped to the ground when he saw that.

The boy said bored, "That's it?"

In the next one minute, the boy managed to take down all the bullies.

The playground was filled with pained moans and crying bullies.

The boy walked out of the ground and saw Takemichi.

The boy stared at Takemichi, "You saw all that?"

Takemichi nodded, "That was so cool! They all came at you, and you took them all down! You're not even tired! You're super strong, aren't you?"

The boy smiled wide, revealing his sharp canines, "Yeah, I am super strong."

Takemichi stretched out his hand, "I am Takemichi Hanagaki. Friends?"

Boy returned the hand, "Sure. I'm Taiju Shiba."
