"Kids should focus more on studying instead of fawning over others." Daniel grumbled with a hand on his chin as he looked at James sitting beside another blonde Ikemen. The two boys were nervous at first but soon hit it off after cooperatively trying to save each other's backs from horny girls.

"I agree." The boy sitting beside Daniel responded in an irritated tone while chewing on his sweater as he looked at James chatting with Mira, his crush.

"Fuck! I can't stand this." Zack Lee cursed out and stood up to intervene in this rosy atmosphere, but stopped when he felt a hand tugging his sleeve.

"Let go you pig, otherwise I'll carve your face in."

"You're pretty rude, but I'll ignore it. What are you planning to do once you go there." Daniel asked him with a strained face, still holding on. "If you forcefully drag her out, she'll start hating you. If you interrupt their conversation, she'll be annoyed and then start hating you. If you try joining try to steal his limelight, you'll come off as obnoxious, and she'll start hating you."

"…Shit you're right!" Zack was taken aback by the insight displayed by the class clown. Daniel didn't look pleasing to the eyes, nor did he look intelligent. Could it be that his intellect is stored in his stomach? Zack looked intently at Daniel while thinking so.

This however served to irritate Daniel more than he already was. "At least hide your thoughts you bastard." Cursing at the school's talented boxer would've resulted in him getting beaten up by now, but zack now held a deep respect for Daniel.

He felt that Daniel might be able to help him get closer to Mira. "So what should I do…" He asked with an anticipatory tone.

"Why should I tell you?"

"T..that…is…..umm…I'll help you in any way you want, as long as it doesn't cross my line."

"Hmm…..you look like you can fight decently" Daniel commented after seeing his calloused hands.

"Heh….I'm a pretty strong boxer." Zack responded with his chest puffed out. It was a given that he'd be proud of his strength since he was one of the strongest in this school. He however didn't realize that he had started to talk with Daniel as an equal.

"Well then!" Clapping his hands, Daniel looked at Zack once more. "I'll help you break them off if you agree to teach me boxing."

The two friends now shook hands and went to a corner to discuss their strategy. "You don't need to distract Mira, just greet James and tell him you want to show him around the school. Mira might also have a good impression of you if you act friendly with him. It's a win-win scenario."

"….Woah…" Zack looked at Daniel wide-eyed as if he'd grown a second head. "I knew asking for your help was a good choice." He once again reaffirmed his decision and thanked Daniel before heading towards James and Mira.

"Yo" Unfortunately, there was something Daniel overlooked. He forgot to take into account of Zack's social skills. His menacing look coupled with a stiff greeting resulted in intimidation.

"H..Hi." James however fell into the same rank in communication.

"Let's head outside."

"I'd….rather not."

Daniel no longer wanted to see this pitiful scene and thus decided to look for Vin at the music department.

He didn't have to look around for long as he saw the arrogant prick heading out with a lollipop in his mouth.

The two boys looked at each other in silence for a few seconds before Daniel went for the first hit by tackling Vin….or at least tried to.

"I'll make you regret bullying me, you bastard" Daniel said with languid eyes as he tripped on his own feet after failing on the tackle.

"Heh…you think you can tackle me? Do you even know who I am?" Vin Jin asked while fixing his shades after they almost fell off from his dodge. Although Daniel was slow, his strength was not to be underestimated. The excess fat around his body not only served as a shield but also as means of heavy offense.

"Why should I know about you? Do you think the world revolves around you?"

*Slam*

A huge force slammed onto him making him fall yet again, but this time with his arm locked in an armbar. He found it frustrating. The ability to see his attacks coming, but being unable to respond to them in time was truly frustrating him.

"Try moving your arm and I'll break it, just admit it. You're weak." Vin said flatly as if commenting on the weather. Martial artists never feel deterred by a challenge afterall.

Especially Vin Jin, a fighter specializing in Judo. His strength was enough to easily take down ghouls as long as he got close enough At this point, it was normal for an inexperienced competitor to feel frightened, however, Daniel was never inexperienced.

"AAAGH!"

Daniel lacked skill, but he never lacked spirit. His fighting style was something no one could ever get used to.

Suicidal.

An eye for an eye was no longer metaphorical when it came to Daniel. He stretched his free arm to hold the leg tight and bit it.

A small amount of blood seeped out and as Vin cried out in pain. Humiliated by the injury, he lost his temper and twisted the arm.

*Snap!*

A small sound echoed, which brought back clarity to Vin's eyes.

'This isn't good.'

He had lost control and broken a transfer student's arm.

'Whatever, it's not like he can do anything about it.' Thinking the fight was over, he loosened his hold only to realize that his opponent was still holding onto his leg.

"What's the point of holding on? You lost j—

He couldn't finish his sentence as a fist welcomed his face,

*BAM!*

It was a punch from Daniel's unbroken arm. "You think a broken arm is enough?" Saying so, Daniel charged ahead trying to tackle him once again. He knew kicks would not help due to his short stature, so close-quarter combat was the only option.

"Huh?...now that's interesting."

He charged ahead as usual, but his stance was different, it was exactly like Vin jin's. Deciding to satiate his curiosity, he tried the armbar…something he had never attempted before.

Vin was staring at him with wide eyes behind the dark glasses.

'This pig….copied my moves?' Although Daniel was unable to execute it properly, his form was undoubtedly the same as Vin's. If not for his broken left arm, he would've pulled it off exactly how Vin did.

"Is this some path to the transparent world Yoriichi talked about?" He questioned as he looked at his right hand. "Feels like I'm cheating…but it's technically a pass since It's not one of my techniques." He said after looking at Vin who was gaping like a fish.

*BAM!*

He charged again but sent a straight jab directed at Vin's genitals.

"Choo Choo motherfucker."

As you would expect, Vin once again easily blocked it.
