Meeting Meina and reward.

[Would Host like to open Silver-tri Package.]

[Yes :: No]

"Yes!" Itsuki, perched on the swing, was giddy with anticipation as he read the quest tab and realized that if a quest was completed more than once, the reward would be greater and more impressive. Plus, he was able to defeat those three idiots with just one package.

However, this was largely due to his good fortune at the time, as defeating three of them might have been difficult if he were to be surrounded by them.

'That is why, please let me have an attack skill or something that boosts my strength.' Helmet was a nasty guy, and Itsuki was certain that he would cause him trouble in the future.

However, this time, they will be better prepared, making it much more difficult to use the uncanny attack than it was in the past.

[Host has acquired triple link skills: Jab (Boxing), sidestep (Boxing), Right Hook (Boxing).]

[Using triple link skill in serial order will inflict greater damage on enemy.]

Though it did not improve his fundamental abilities like strength or agility, Itsuki felt his muscles aching, but he did not experience any pain.

Instead, he noticed a total change in his body.

He was having trouble believing that anything had changed within him at this point, but as soon as he assumed a silent stance, his left hand made an astonishing sound by delivering a straightforward jab that was both simple and quick, like that of a true professional.

Using these three linked active skills, he realized he had mastered the so-called profession of boxing.

He felt strength in his legs as he moved his body, changing the direction of his body from one position to another with ease, making him look dumb.

Nevertheless, he moved very lightly, and he could accelerate quickly whenever he needed to. His left jab also left only a faint trail before it smashed into whatever he was aiming for.

Even the falling leaf from the tree was not missed; as Itsuki fast jabbed, the falling leaf would end blowing and tearing at the center of the leaf.

'Awesome!' Itsuki's eyes turned blurry as he felt like crying, thinking how much he had suffered before, but having these skills, Itsuki was sure of one thing.

'It is now my time to hunt them down, as long as they disturb my life. I will never hesitate to destroy their life for good.'

With his rise to power, Itsuki's good personality did not change much, as he still did not consider bullying those weak guys but thought that if he were to be given those protection fees by their own accord, he would not mind getting money from those guys.

After all, only an idiot would turn down easy cash.

'Oh right, those other two class did not give their protection fees today, right?' Itsuki smiled and shook his head; after all, he was not thinking of creating problems for them either, plus, if Helmet would trouble them, there would be no reason for him to act against them.

"Hello! Umm, hello!" Itsuki, preoccupied with thoughts of how little money he had made today and how nice it would be to buy dinner, did not notice a boy calling him weakly from the side of the swing.

"Huh! Yeah, hello!" When Itsuki greeted the boy, the boy nearly leaped with surprise, but based on his composed demeanor and scrawny appearance, the boy did not feel intimidated, unlike other delinquents he had met.

"The safety fee from the two other classes." Itsuki felt a little strange holding the $10,000 cash in his hands, but he also understood that the class behind them came from a small, powerful family, so leaving out $5,000 would mean nothing to them.

"Then I will be leaving!" After saying that, the man left the area quickly, leaving Itsuki speechless as he stared at the large sum of money in his hand and considered throwing a big celebration in the restaurant to celebrate receiving his first paycheck.

'Although I am alone to enjoy that celebration,' Itsuki muttered.

After having a big bowl of ramen and some other dishes on the way,.

After he was satisfied, Itsuki turned to face the starry sky and wondered if he would be able to find a girl with his talents and if these kinds of days would last for a long time.

After a long time of thinking about those things, Itsuki arrived at the building where his father had purchased an apartment for his family.

But he did not even get the chance to live within it, even for once.

"Oh, if it isn't wolfy-kun." As Itsuki opened the door, he saw the Madonna of their class—a girl with blonde hair and sparkling eyes—whom he knew well. After all, they had shared a room and been neighbors for a while.

However, when they started middle school, the girl in front of him began to change.

She became more attractive, and after hooking up with that guy, she turned into an untouched gem in their class, even in the other sections.

"Ayano-san." After giving Itsuki a serious glance, Ayano Meina's lips tipped slightly, revealing a bright smile, and she patted Itsuki on the shoulder.

"I heard you gave those three idiots a vicious beating. I must say, Itsuki-kun has hidden that kind of side of yours quite well, but what happened to make you outburst like that?"

Itsuki came to the realization that she must have been waiting for him because, despite their lack of conversation, they are neighbors.

However, he still remembered her occasionally rescuing him from the other troublemaker, and she refrained from approaching him because she might put Itsuki in even greater danger.

"Yeah, those guys..." Meina appeared somewhat irate when Itsuki revealed all the details of the marble and other things that were hidden from her, as she acknowledged that Itsuki had retaliated and had never shown his hand.

"Yeah, keep them safe for now! I will see if I can get to know something about the true mind behind this all." She spoke as two of them entered the lift.

"Hmm, but don't ask him about it. I don't want to put you in a bad position." Meina knew what Itsuki meant when he talked about the guy she was infatuated with, so she answered him sarcastically with a wry smile and took a moment to think before taking Itsuki's hand.

"You know what?" Saying that she stood on her toes and kissed his cheeks, "As long as you can also grow strong enough to beat that guy, I will be yours; after all, what I need from him is just a sense of security."

Stating that, Meina turned to give Itsuki a look before she walked out of the lift and entered her apartment.

'She had yet to change much!' Looking at her leaving figure, Itsuki's mind was filled with the soft sensation that he had never felt before; a trace of redness appeared on his face as he silently walked back to his apartment and looked to the side door before entering inside.

"What was I even thinking, right now?" At the same moment, Meina, who was sitting on the floor beside the door, muttered.

A smile appeared on her face, while her feelings became more complicated, before she entered her room with a hazy look.
