Chapter 2 - Chapter 2

The students continued to harbor fear and hatred towards Akudama, despite him not having done anything wrong. Confused about where to sit, he looked around until the teacher gestured towards a seat. Nodding in understanding, Akudama made his way towards the designated seat, which happened to be next to a short individual with orange hair who appeared visibly irritated by Akudama's presence.

Akudama remained unaffected by the angry gaze of the orange-haired boy. He calmly walked to his seat, sat down, and placed his suitcase next to him. Despite the continued scrutiny from the orange-haired boy, Akudama paid no mind to it and focused on the ongoing class proceedings, undisturbed by the intense stare. He engaged in the class activities without allowing the hostile atmosphere to distract or deter him.

After the class ended, Akudama approached the teacher, who appeared uneasy and unsafe in Akudama's presence. Sensing the teacher's discomfort, Akudama decided to give up on whatever interaction he had planned and simply walked away from the classroom. As Akudama made his exit, the orange-haired boy approached him and uttered, "I hope you die," before walking away. Despite the harsh words, Akudama remained unfazed by the remark, maintaining his composure and inner strength in the face of hostility.

As Akudama walked outside the school, he gazed up at the brightly shining stars, shielding his eyes from their brilliance. Looking down, he noticed four children approaching, holding a bat and wearing hostile expressions. One of the kids stepped forward and taunted, "Hey, do you know what Akudama means?" Despite the provocation, Akudama chose not to respond, which only further infuriated the child. Clenching his teeth in anger, the child shouted, "It means Evil Bastard, just like you!" Meanwhile, Akudama's attention shifted, and he noticed the orange-haired kid who had been giving him a mean face from a short distance away, still wearing a hostile expression.

As Akudama continued to walk slowly, the tension in the air grew palpable. The kids, now sweating but determined, sought to gather more information about him. They shared Akudama's height (177 centimeters) and weight (70 kilograms) among themselves. Unbeknownst to them, Akudama was prepared for an attack.

Without warning, they launched a full-force assault on Akudama. However, Akudama swiftly reacted, grabbing hold of the bat one of the kids swung at him and effortlessly tossing it aside from a significant distance. As the confrontation intensified, two other kids attempted to attack him from behind, but Akudama's quick reflexes allowed him to seize both of their bats and hurl them away. The orange-haired kid found himself in a similar predicament as Akudama disarmed him as well.

One of the four kids wore a smirk on his face as Akudama struggled to get up. As Akudama rose to his feet, he noticed blood trickling down from a wound on his head, causing him to feel a shock of surprise. Despite the injury, he gathered his strength and made his way towards the school exit.

Meanwhile, one of the remaining kids harbored lingering anger towards Akudama. The orange-haired kid, in a fit of rage, scanned the ground and spotted a rock nearby. Contemplating his actions, he entertained the idea of throwing the rock at Akudama. Seizing the opportunity, he picked up the rock and hurled it at Akudama, striking him squarely in the head. The impact of the blow caused Akudama to collapse onto the ground, and blood flowed from his wound. Witnessing the severity of the situation, one of the four boys panicked and fled from the scene, leaving Akudama unconscious.

As Akudama gradually regained consciousness, he found himself lying on a white bed, with the window open, allowing a gentle breeze to caress his skin. He reached up to touch his head, wincing in pain as he realized the severity of his injury.

Slowly, Akudama rose from the bed, attempting to walk but almost stumbling to the ground. Just in time, a random girl appeared and caught him, preventing his fall. Concerned, she insisted, "You need to stay in bed if you want to return home in good health." Acknowledging her words, Akudama nodded in agreement and turned back towards the bed.

Glancing out of the window, Akudama observed the orange sky, stirred by the cool breeze. The serene atmosphere brought a sense of calm to his weary body. With a sigh, he settled back onto the bed, allowing the tranquility of the surroundings to lull him into a peaceful sleep.

As the girl observed Akudama drifting off to sleep, she couldn't help but notice his unusual appearance with black hair and black eyes. Finding him to be a rare sight, she muttered to herself about the peculiarity of his existence. Turning away, she opened the door slowly and whispered, "What a strange phenomenon to encounter."

Unbeknownst to her, Akudama, who had been pretending to sleep, was aware of her actions and words."
