Rodion Elder stood there with his short, gelled hair and a physique that resembled that of a professional swimmer—long torso and far-reaching limbs.

This guy was a bully in my other reality. He beat up a few guys and even a girl or two, but he was always fine after that and never held accountable because of who his parents were.
His mother was the school director, and his father, a lawyer. And now, this was the guy I was supposed to fight?
Oh, I was going to have fun with this.
"Hey! Gray!"
I heard a familiar voice.
I turned to see Ashley and Ruby standing behind the security line, waving enthusiastically.
"Hey, Ashley, Ruby!" I called back, as I made my way over to them. "Glad you could make it."
Ashley flashed me a bright smile, "We promised," she said.
