Chereads / Mystic Academy (Rewritten) / Chapter 22 - Chapter 21

Chapter 22 - Chapter 21

Eizu walked out of the store as he began to approach the car, however he slowed down a bit as he heard sudden scratching. Huh… Eizu stopped for a second, walking around the hood of the dented car Eizu was met with a bunch of gravel tossed at his face.

"AUGH!!!"

Eizu stumbled back a bit rubbing his eyes as in no time Eizu felt a hand grasp around his neck and followed up with a devastating slam to a lamppost. The impact dented into a somewhat outline of Eizu's back as Ruzo was throwing haymakers into Eizu's face. While being pummeled, Eizu raised his guard to cover his face as Ruzo pulls and slammed his knee into Eizu's stomach.

"GAH!!"

Eizu got the wind knocked out of him as Ruzo tosses Eizu to the ground as he skipped off the gravel street. Ruzo then mounted onto Eizu's back as he began lashing out, throwing accurate punches at his neck, shoulders, and his head. What is this guy trying to do! Kill me?!?! Eizu thought as he kept his neck and head covered.

A punch connected to Eizu's shoulder blade as it cracked slightly as Eizu cried out in pain, using his ability to slow down time once again. Eizu slams his hands onto the ground as he slightly pushes Ruzo off his back and crawls out mainly with his right arm.

Eizu opens his eyes to a squint as he could hardly move his left arm, His eyes having a bit of red around the corner of his eyes. How long was it…15…? He looks back at Ruzo, catching a glimpse of their bloodshot eyes. But as soon as he catches the glimpse, he grasps at his chest curling up a bit as time abruptly returns.

He could hear his heartbeat at an abnormal pace as he guards himself from another stomping from Ruzo.

I can't anymore!

"I give up!!"

Eizu shouted as his arm was moved to the side as Ruzo smashed his cheek with a hard punch, ignoring his surrender.

"Hey! Stop the fight!!"

"Oh Shit! He's not stopping!!"

"What's going on there!?! Is he insane or something?!?"

There were muttering in the crowd as Eizu's group decides to get involved. A taller girl ran up as she knees the side of Ruzos head tossing him off Eizu as the other two grouped around Eizu. Eizu was bleeding from the nose with bruises as The Taller Inazuma girl widened her stance slightly.

"Get him out now, this guy is under red Siphon."

"Red Siphon?!? I thought that-"

Just as she was going to finish her sentence the girl suddenly points at Ruzo as the taller girl hastily reacts to it, catching Ruzo in a high kick along his neck. The kick flung Ruzo back into the already trashed store as the other two began taking Eizu out. While the Inazuma Girl was fending off, Ruzo's group also jumped in, tackling Ruzo from behind as they kept him pinned down.

"Ruzo! Ruzo!!!"

"It's no use! The siphon is still in effect!"

"No shit sherlock! I can see that!!"

"Guys!! Get the staff now!"

Off in the distance Kimura stood with his arms crossed, looking over at Korvos with an obvious "see? I told you so" glare.

***

After some time, the event continues as Inazuma and Silvermend will have a rematch later. Kimura looks off to the distance as he spots Kyoushou Academy, seeing Asuka who was seemingly more distant from her group, sitting alone on a bench.

Kimura can't help but be intrigued, uncrossing his arms as he begins to walk off on a dirtside path. The others look at him but at this point they're sort of used to him just wandering around and wandering off.

"Hey, where are you going" Ayameko calls out, not even sparring some time to look at Kimura.

"Just saw someone. I'll be back." Kimura halts to respond before walking once more.

"..." She stays silent this time, letting Kimura Walk off.

Kimura walks closer and closer to Kyoushou's station, three of the four notice Kimura heading their way as one of them gets up and began walking towards Kimura. He stops as the student stood in-front of him, it wasn't the same group that fought Korvos and the others, rather this man was a foot taller standing at 6ft 2in and was slightly wider as well.

"What's the Ishimura kid doing here." He questioned Kimura, his voice having a slight deep pitch with it.

"…I'm here to see someone. I'm not here to cause any kind of trouble." Kimura replied, looking at a slight upward angle.

"Trouble follows you everywhere you go Ishimura kid." He taunted and remarked.

Kimura furrowed his brow a bit at that remark, clearly showing his anger towards it. However, he let it fly past him as he leaned a bit to the left, looking past the tall student and glanced over at Asuka. Asuka was sitting there as she fidgeted with a small fidget toy as Kimura stood back straight looking back up at the Kyoushou student.

Without saying a word, Kimura decided to walk around him but as he took a step the Kyoushou student placed his palm on Kimura's shoulder. Clearly Kimura was unwanted there, but despite the warning Kimura shoved past him, his shoulder pushing the students hand off as he walked towards Asuka.

The Student looked onward at Kimura with a slight anger in his eyes but decides to also let it go past him as he goes back to watching the event. Kimura walks over towards Asuka who hears his footsteps, looking up to see him.

"Kimura…?" She seemed a bit surprised.

"Care for a walk?" He raises an eyebrow at her.

She smiled with a slight blush as she was getting ready to say something, but she suddenly stopped herself as her happy open mouth suddenly turned into somber disappointment. "N-Nah, I'm okay here." Asuka said while placing her hand on her wrist, putting on a soft smile.

"Hm…" Kimura scoffs a bit.

His eyes lowered to her hand, wondering about the weird placement but brushed it off as he sat down beside her, Asuka scoots a bit nervously as she sat at the edge. She felt a little shy again, turning away from him as she also postured herself away from Kimura.
