With a newfound hope, Masao loosened his body a little and sat down. But even with his newfound hope, his body was still shaking. His body was telling him to flee from the scene.
Afterall human beings are creature of habits. And the fear of getting beaten and traumatized by Masato and his underlings had already been ingrained deep within Masao's core. Thus, he was still preparing to run away if anything were to happen to him.
Kitsu then lowered his head and spoke meekly, "I'm sorry for hurting you. Please forgive me if you can."
Hearing Kitsu's apology, Masao startlingly rose from his seat. His apology was totally out of his expectations and thus, he was surprised to hear such words coming out from the mouth of Kitsu.
The other guys too lowered their head and apologized to Masao, "'Please forgive us Masao. We'll never bother you again."'
As surprised as Masao was, the rest of the students present in the classroom were even more surprised.
