Aruta and Juriko approached the naughty kids.
"Huh? Wow, look who's here again," Jacky said.
"You still haven't learned your lesson after I punched you, huh? You wanna me to kick your ass huh?" Aruta asked, cracking his right hand with his left hand.
"I wasn't serious back then. Let's have another brawl here," Jacky challenged Aruta.
"Okay then. Bring it on!" Aruta replied, challenging Jacky back. "Juriko, let me handle of this brat," Aruta said to Juriko.
"Okay," replied Juriko, stepping back a little.
"By the way, it doesn't feel right if the winner just wins like that," Jacky said.
"Ohh?" Aruta raised one of his eyebrows.
"How about we make a bet," Jacky said with a small smile on the corner of his lips. "If you win against us, we won't bother you anymore. But if we win, you have to be willing to be our slave," said Jacky, looking at Luna with an evil look.
Luna was frightened by Jacky's gaze.
"Hey, she has nothing to do with you and me. Get her away from our fight first," Aruta said to Jacky.
"Tch, okay okay. Take this girl away." Jacky's subordinates took Leta away.
Aruta turned to Juriko and when Juriko nodded, Aruta looked back at Jacky and said, "Okay, we accept the bet. let's go."
"Haha, attack!! Make them beat up. Kill them if that possible!" Jacky said with an evil laughter.
Jacky's subordinates immediately attacking Aruta.
"Well well, it turns out one versus everybody huh?" Aruta said with a thin smile and took a stance.
"Aruta, are you sure you don't need a help?" Juriko asked.
"Very sure."
Jacky saw that Aruta was a fairly calm child. Even though he had been beaten up this morning, he felt that Aruta and Juriko would not be able to win against this many opponents.
Jacky's subordinates got closer to Aruta. Aruta begin to take a deep breath and charge back at Jacky's subordinates. One of Jacky's subordinates landing a punch that aimed at Aruta's face. Aruta quickly grabbed the boy's fist and gripped it. The boy began to feel pain from Aruta's grip.
Not long after that, another boy charging at Aruta and aimed his punch. Aruta tightened his grip and threw the boy in his grip and threw him towards the boy who charged at him.
Not long after, Aruta quickly jump towards the crowd of Jacky's subordinates. In the middle of them, Aruta quickly kicked, punched, and defeated Jacky's subordinates one by one. Finally, all of Jacky's subordinates fell at Aruta's hands.
Jacky looked at the sight of his subordinates lying helplessly and finally remembered something in his mind.
***
At home, Jacky always learned self-defense with his father. Jacky's father said that they had to be strong people. They were an ordinary family, but Jacky's father equipped Jacky with self-defense skills. Jacky was always battered after training with his father.
"Weak. You'll become a slave if you keep doing this," Jacky's father told him. Jacky's mother had said that it was not good to beat up a child. But Jacky's father slapped his wife instead.
One day, Jacky won second place in the martial arts competition. When he arrived at home, he so hopefully can make his parents happy.
"Dad, I'm home. I managed to become the second place winner in karate championship!" Jacky said excitedly.
"Only second place? This is still a city championship and you're satisfied? You're still very weak!" said Jacky's father not happy at all. Sounds disappointed even.
"Honey, don't be like that. Second place is already great. Our child deserves praise," said Jacky's mother. And as usual, Jacky's father and mother fought again. Jacky, who initially wanted to make his parents happy, could only watch them fight.
One day, Jacky, who was sleeping, was woken up by his mother. His mother told Jacky to get ready. Jacky had no idea what was happening but he could only obey his mother's words.
Jacky was told by his mother to put his clothes and belongings into a bag. After he finished getting ready, Jacky's mother held Jacky's hand tightly and took him away from the house.
"Mom, where are we going?" Jacky asked.
"We're going to start a new, happy life. Just you and me."

Back to the present, Jacky remembered his father's words that he was a weak child.
"No, I'm a strong child. I will definitely beat you!!"
"Owh?" Aruta raised one of his eyebrows.
"Gahh!! Bring it on!" Jacky said. Jacky ran and landed a punch on Aruta. But Aruta managed to dodge quickly.
"You're fast, I've never fought someone this fast," thought Jacky who was at a loss for steps.
"Oi, you've hurt many students in this school. You should know the pain of those you beat." Aruta then hit Jacky right in the face very hard and gave off a strange red energy. Jacky immediately collapsed helplessly.
"It's better to use your power to be a good person. If there are no good people around you, then be the one of the good people around them," Aruta said.
Aruta walked towards Leta and asked, "Are you okay?"
Not long after, Juriko came. "Oy Aruta. What was that strange thing in your hand before?"
"You saw it too? I don't know. It just suddenly appeared. But it's pretty cool, isn't it?" Aruta said. "But how do I use it again?"
"Aruta, Juriko thank you for helping me again," Luna said.
"Don't mention it. By the way, did you see anything strange on my hand earlier?" Aruta asked.
"Hmm... not at all," replied Luna. "Forget it. Let's go home."
"Okay," Juriko replied. "Forget about earlier. Let's go home," said Juriko to Aruta.
"Okay," Aruta just obeyed and went home with Juriko and Luna.
The three of them went home together. In the middle of the journey Aruta asked Juriko, "Juriko, did you see someone at school earlier?"
"A person?" Juriko asked.
"Yeah, did you see that person too?" replied Aruta.
"Yes, I saw that. Weren't there no kids or people at school when we fought with Jacky?" Juriko said.
"Yes. Who is that person?" said Aruta wondering.
"A person with long hair, right?" asked Juriko.
"Yes, that's it," replied Aruta.
"I don't know, but whatever it is, it's better if we don't mess around. Hoamm It's better to sleep at home," said Juriko while yawning in the middle of his sentence.
"Aruta Juriko," Luna replied.
"Yes? What's wrong?" asked Juriko turning to Luna.
"Uh, I left my pencil case in class. Can you guys take me there for a bit?" Luna asked.
"Ahh perfect," Aruta and Juriko thought.
