Struggle of a Social Outcast

'Nikko, wake up you bastard. How long are you going to sleep?', as soon as Nikko heard the voice he felt fear. He is a high school student and today was his final exam for high school. So he was studying late last night and thus missed the morning alarm.

After waiting for 2 hours at his door, his best friend and cousin, Terumi lost her temper finally and went to wake him from his sleeping. Although Nikko is a good and ideal student, he is shy and thus can't communicate with others. Basically a social outcast. Only Terumi has a friendly relationship with him as she is also his only cousin.

After nearly 16 years living with her, Nikko learns something valuable which is not to anger Terumi. Otherwise even Shinigami will not be able to save him. So as soon as Nikko woke up, he went directly to the washroom to escape her and become ready for the last exam.

After getting ready and apologizing to Terumi, they went to the school and attended their exam. As expected, Nikko again does well in the exam and keeps waiting for Terumi outside the school so that they can go home together.

But after nearly 1 hour of waiting, Terumi didn't come out of the school and Nikko gets tense as she is never late in the school after the class time is over and he began to look for her in the neighborhood thinking that she maybe went home early due to her having a bad exam.

But after searching, he found that Terumi was being bullied by some boys and girls from their rival school and was being physically assaulted. At first Nikko tried to not go there as he has weak mental conviction and always keep distance from troubles. But god knows why, he decided to interrupt the ongoing bullying.

He shouted to those guys, 'You better not touch her again or I don't know what I will do' and went straight to Terumi. Though those people were startled by the sudden entry of Nikko, they quickly found their composure and decided to ignore him and again started bullying. But Nikko again tried to interrupt them and started throwing his hands to stop them.

Getting constantly interrupted by Nikko, those guys threaten him not to stop them and start beating him also. In a sudden moment, Nikko grabs the color of the leader of that gang and bite him in his ear which enrages the leader who also is quite a bodybuilder throws him to the ground and starts beating him black and blue.

Getting continued beating, Nikko's internal organ gets ruptured and he vomits blood which causes fear among the bully and to not get punished and discovered they decided to leave both Terumi and Nikko and throw them both to the river which was near to the side ally.

Sudden touch of water made Nikko startled and he woke up as his mind got freshen. As he sees himself and Terumi in the water, he loses his composure as they both don't know how to swim. But with the last bit of energy he tries to save Terumi who was not only his cousin and only friend, but Nikko also has a crush on her from childhood and keeps struggling in the water to save Terumi even if he dies at the end.

After nearly reaching the bank of the river he saw a fisherman boat and was relieved that someone could help them now and at that moment the consciousness of Nikko suddenly went blank and fell to a deep sleep as he became sure of Terumi's safety.
