(CHAPTER 40: SCHOOLFIGHT)

The key jiggles as I push it into the keyhole and twisted, opening the door. I entered the room, it is quite late, and the ramen is getting cold. "Wh-what happened to you?" The moment I entered the room, Seiden immediately asked. He is leaning against the head of his bed as he tries to cover his entire body with the blanket, hiding something beneath it. I didn't care though, as I toss his share of ramen towards him alongside a pair of chopsticks.

"You, you okay?" He asked, I didn't expect him to care about me. "Nothing." I let out an exhausted smile. "Just got into a fist fight." With that I grab a towel and covered my wound, bandaging it simply before sitting on my bed and enjoying the cold, soggy ramen. That is one hell of a fight, fighting in the school compound. What will I got, detention, booted out or public humiliation? I had no idea. As I slurps on the noodles, my mind recalled back what just happened moments ago…

"Get out of my way! Bitch!"

Before I could realise, I was pushed onto the floor, I could hear a slight giggle coming out from the crowds. I lifted my head and stood back as I glare at the figure standing behind me in the anger. "Oho, look at you. Angry?" It is an armadillo monster. "You think you even got the temper to be angry!? Halfbreed! We are the one who saved your ungrateful asses!" He laughed, the followers behind me followed. I realised, racism, it isn't a type of being, or a skin colour, or a nation, it is a person. No matter where we are, it will always exist. "Look at him!" He pointed right at my face, his disgusting long tube like tongue dangling out of his jaw. "He is angry! He is angry-"

Before he could laugh more, a punch connected hard onto his jaw. He was flung back as he clashes right into his followers behind him. "Mai tang! Mai tang!!" He screamed, he must've bit his tongue from that uppercut. I stare at his clown like action, my fist still in fire. I jiggling sound of the crowd was instantly silenced before I turn my back towards him. And right when I thought this shit is done, something hit me right in the back. I felt like I was hit square in the back by a cannonball as I was tossed into the wooden wall of the shop, shattering it.

"How is that! Bitch!" He laughed, watching me getting myself in the ruins. "Think twice before hitting someone's face! Especially me! Class A, rank ninety eight, Andy Armadillo!!" He let out a victory pose, his follower cheers, more and more people started to gather around. " Andy Armadillo? More like Asshole Armadillo?" I taunted as I cracked my fist, a fight it is then. "You are still able to stand! Well not after this!!" He curled his body into a ball, before raising his scale and began accelerating, forming a spiked ball of death.

"Take this!!" with that he burst out with amazing speed. I raised my arm as it hit me hard, the armadillo scale dug into my flesh like hooks, creating deep wounds all around me. "How's that! Bitch!? How's that!!?" He laughed menacingly, his body bounces like a pinball, striking me from all corners and from all angles. I raised my arm and wrap it around my head, letting the hit rains on me.

Bitch I got a temper.

"Take t-" He was about to assume victory, before he found out that he couldn't even move, or spin. "Wha-" Before he could react, he curled up body was forcefully pull open. An through it, he could see the face of the devil. "Get away! Wait!! No!!" Too late, he was fully pulled open, all his weakness wide open. With one hand, I pin him against the floor while with the other… "Crimson Gatling!!" My fist rained down onto him, pounding onto him. And it was moment later before I stop, and by that time he is completely out cold, his face beaten up like a pulp, lying unconscious within the crater filled with the puddle of his own blood.

"Fsshhhhh-" I calmed myself down and return back to my form while my body sizzles. "Boss! You alright boss?" His followers rushed towards him, before carrying him to the medic. "That mark…" "He defeated him?" "Is he still alive?" I ignore the commotion of the crowd and entered the shop, taking my Ramen and return back. Looks like I am in real trouble right now. I placed the empty bowl aside and let out a sigh. Surely I will be called by the headmaster, Bitch Kiss, get kicked out from the academy. Fei will be disappointed, so do Aiko. I will be unable to join the raid, my dad will be angry too for all of this commotion. So nine out of ten, I am real screwed.

"Your shirt."

I turn my head back towards Seidon.

"It is pretty rigged. Wanted me to fix it for you?"

I stare at him, what is this shit. He is offering me help? What on earth? Am I mistaken?

"Fine if you didn't wanted." Upon seeing my reaction he immediately take back what he offered. "Wait, wait, wait" Upon seeing his reaction, I immediately take off my uniform and handed towards him. He took out a container from his backpack with the shape of a starfish. He pushed the button in the centre and it opened with a click. Within it were some thread and needles, alongside some decorative fabrics. He took out a needle alongside a pure white thread and started to sew off the openings on my uniform. His moves, his expression, his focus, I would mistaken him as a girl for sure, if I didn't saw him naked at the bathroom before. I lean against my bed and worked on my wounds while he took care of my uniform.

The moment I finish tending to my wound, he snip off the thread and hand me back the uniform. "Thanks." I take a quick look at it. Good as new, if it wasn't mine, I would thought it had been used before. "You got really nice hands." I praised, that's a goddamn truth. If not for me, I would've prick my fingers for at least twenty seven times. "That's nothing." He immediately turn around to the other side. "Best get to sleep." I stare at him, facing his back towards me, maybe he wasn't that bad after all.

"Good night."

"Em, good night too."
