Afternoon, bicycle shed.
In order to prevent them from being defeated together by Shinoko, Itsuki decided to send Saki home.
Since there is no such thing as premature love in Japanese society, schools have never prohibited students from dating, so couples can often be seen walking together after school, and the air was filled with a romantic atmosphere.
"Let's go."
"Um."
Two classmates who looked about the same age as him pushed their bicycles past him, and their eyes met affectionately, almost sticking together.
"Fujii-kun, let's go too."
Saki squatted down, unlocked the bike chain, and walked out pushing the maple-colored bicycle.
"Okay."
After taking off his school bag and putting it in her arms, he skillfully got on the bike.
"Come up."
He turned around and looked at her.
"Ah, okay."
Nodding, she sat obediently on the back seat of the bicycle with her school bag.
As the saying goes, the first time is strange, the second time is familiar.
This time she was no longer as shy as she was yesterday, and her mood changed from trepidation to enjoyment.
His long legs started pedaling, the bicycle cut through the wind, and suddenly rushed out from the side of the couple.
"Fujii-kun, I have to trouble you to take me home again today."
"It's no trouble. There's nothing else to do right now anyway."
He rode his bicycle slowly through the campus.
"Will Chiba-senpai and the others just let it go? After all, we threatened her with the photos we took."
"What are you afraid of? I took action first."
Itsuki said righteously, "Besides, I am still very kind and did not let her take off all her clothes. She should thank me."
"Fujii-kun!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Saki suddenly grabbed his clothes around his waist, as if she had seen something terrible, and looked outside the campus with a nervous expression.
At the same time, he also looked in that direction with a serious expression.
Outside the school gate.
A few delinquents with colorfully dyed hair were squatting at the gate in a frivolous manner, staring at the students walking out of the school gate with eyes as if they were looking for prey.
The leaders were none other than Shinoko, Aoi, and Rei.
The teacher on duty at the gate also saw this and stepped forward to drive them away, but ended up being glared back at by them instead.
Faced with these scary-looking delinquents, it is obvious that the teachers on duty cannot afford to offend them.
Seeing him flee in fear, they burst into laughter.
"Sensei, this is not your business."
"Go home and try for another child."
"Hahaha."
"What should we do?" Seeing that these people were not afraid of even the teacher on duty, Saki's heart almost jumped out of her throat, and her slender fingers tightly grasped the corner of Itsuki's clothes.
"Fujii-kun, let's go out the back door."
"It's no use. We can't hide from them for long."
They can escape today, but what about tomorrow or the day after?
He knew the nature of these delinquents. Once they see your weakness, they will persist like mad dogs.
Apart from Chiba and the other three girls, there were about seven delinquent boys left.
"How troublesome."
He frowned.
Although he believed that he was good at fighting and had no fear, it was undoubtedly a bit tricky to fight ten people at once.
Unless he can temporarily give himself an unfair advantage.
He suddenly had an idea and turned around to shout to Saki: "Ogihara, scold me quickly, quick."
His skill, "Enraged Punch," can convert anger into strength.
In other words, the more anger he accumulates, the stronger his strength will be.
Just like the "Incredible Hulk" in the Marvel Universe, not the cheap knockoff from MCU.
"Ah? Why?"
"Don't worry about it, just curse!"
When she heard his voice, her brain seemed to shut down and restart.
When she finally sorted out the mess in her mind, she spoke tentatively: "Fuji...Fujii-kun, you idiot!"
He almost couldn't help laughing.
"This girl, why is she so weak even when she scolds me?"
The tense atmosphere was instantly broken by his smile.
She blushed, thinking that he was joking to ease the atmosphere for her, but then she heard him say seriously, "Swear a few more times, and swear more fiercely."
"Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!"
"At this critical moment, you idiot Fujii-kun is still in the mood to make jokes."
"Don't be so stubborn, Fujii-kun..."
She said this with some sincerity.
"You'll get hurt!"
"Why don't we leave through the back door first and then discuss countermeasures?"
Her heart was wrenching.
"Ah, it works."
Staring at the anger value that kept jumping on the system panel, he also became restless.
"Ogiwara, please ride your bike out the back door first; I'll be there soon."
After getting off the bicycle, he propped up her feet.
"Fujii-kun..."
Seeing this, Saki had no idea what the boy was going to do next.
She had always been weak and easily bullied, but she somehow got the courage from somewhere and grabbed his hand.
"Fujii-kun, don't go; there are so many of them."
There was a strong, pleading look in her eyes, and her voice had never been so clear and audible.
"Let's go find the principal, or call the police. Anyway, there must be other solutions."
"Fujii-kun, please."
"Ogiwara." Feeling the soft touch of the girl's slender hand, his eyes passed over her bangs, and he could vaguely catch a glimpse of her extremely delicate facial features.
The corners of Itsuki's mouth curled up, then he calmed down again. Finally, his eyes were firm, and he said in a decisive voice, "Keeping away blindly will not solve the problem."
Instead of pinning your hopes on others, it is better to step forward and face everything calmly.
"Don't worry, I'll be back in a moment."
After saying this, he shook off her hand and turned around without fear.
…
The main gate of the school.
"Boss, is it him?"
A delinquent boy with dyed yellow hair raised his hand frivolously and pointed at Itsuki.
"Isn't that Fujii from class B?"
"So it's this guy, the weakling from class B."
"Hahaha, I bullied him before."
Shinoko's pretty face was filled with hatred.
She frowned and glared at the handsome boy who swaggered out of the school gate.
The punch she received yesterday almost made the bile in her stomach come out.
As the leader of the second-year department of the same academy, how could she tolerate a weakling "overthrowing" her?
"Hey, your name is Fujii, right?"
The yellow-haired gangster who had just spoken walked up to Itsuki with a baseball bat in his hand, his nose in the air, and a look of provocation on his face.
"If you're not mistaken in your name, it should be me."
He slowly rolled up the sleeves of his school uniform.
The yellow-haired guy grinned when he heard this: "Now, immediately, kneel down in front of our boss and apologize; otherwise..."
He swung the solid wood baseball bat and said fiercely, "I'll break your legs."
