I was in class listening to Yamagishi's lecture on Valhalla and about their histories.

"Hanma Shuji, before he was president of Moebius. Now number 2 of Valhalla. Before this, he was known as the Reaper of Kibujitsu. He goes around beating people when he's bored."

Takuya and Makoto both shuddered, Akkun said, "What a scary guy."

Yamagishi continued, "Chonbo and Chome are their unit Captains. They are essentially cannon fodder. They serve under Kazutora Hanemiya, former vice-captain, Toman First Divison. Choji is one of the newly joined Divison Captains. Other than them, it is the Former 1st Divison Captain of Toman, Keisuke Baji, you need to watch out for."

Takuya asked, "Baji couldn't beat Ryusei Sato, Takemichi did. Does that meanTakemichi is stronger than him?"

I just shrugged, but Akkun pulled me into a headlock, I let him, and he pulled me, saying, "Oh, stop acting so humble, we heard from Chifuyu, you soloed the Boss and Number 2, even after taking out so many of their members. You finished them even with an iron pipe to your head. A bloody iron pipe. You're just badass."

Takuya agreed, "I know, right? Where did that strength come from?"

I just stood there listening to them, until a voice cried out, "Hey, we are here too, ya'know! He won by a fluke. There was something in my eye." Kojiro pouted dramatically.

Ryusei pulled him back down, "Oh shut up. Even then, we agreed on it. He won fair and square, so shut up, you big baby."

Kojiro just posted like a child.

I had brought them along with me. There was nothing to be done with them. Temporarily, the remaining members of Yotsuya Kaidan, around thirty, are part of the 2nd division now, making them the second largest Divison, with the 5th having the largest.

Also, Kojiro is just a big baby with emotional issues. Classic Tsundere behavior.

Today was a vital day, as in the last timeline, today was the day Kazutora came to Mizo Middle. I could just beat him up. But it would lose me the chance to save Chifuyu from Baji and earn points with the over excited blonde. Maybe, even measure against Baji.

All I had to do was wait while watching Kojiro argue with Yamagishi.

Towards the end of the break, there was a commotion in the hallway. The words I was sure I heard were tattoos, blonde, delinquent, and arrest.

Kazutora is here.

The door opened, and Ryusei was alert, Kojiro looked lazily to the newcomer.

Same as last time. Black school uniform, blonde dyed streaks in the hair. Smile, too.

He came at me with a run. Kojiro stepped up and punched Kazutora, square in the face, giving enough time for Ryusei to move to the front of the classroom, right behind Kazutora to spartan kick him in the back.

Kazutora landed on his back on the class floor near the door. He shouted at me, "Hey! What the hell! I just wanted to greet a new Toman buddy! You didn't have to do that, you know?"

I just looked blankly at him, "Really? You wanted to 'just' greet me? Then don't run at me like that. These two don't like it."

I would have continued if two bumbling gorillas did not charge into the room. They came in screaming, one arm in sling each of them, only to have their necks grabbed by our actually strong gorilla, Hachiouzi, who had gone on a snack run.

He picked them up and threw them at my feet. I am just surprised by the timing. I mean, this was perfect power play. Last time, the Mizo Middle Five could not do shit, and I was dragged off by the apes and the psychopath.

This time, I can defend myself, and I have powerful allies and clear goals ahead of me.

I walked up to him and looked down on him (badass), "I will assume you had something to do, cause this is a long way from home. Not that Toman is you home anymore. Isn't that right, Kazutora Hanemiya?"

He got up and dusted himself off, "So you know about me, Hanagaki? Well, this could have gone better. I guess I'm going to have to crush you and then take you to meet the boss."

I stared at him blankly, and so did the rest of my friends, I spoke to him like he was a child, "Look, you are outnumbered, which means, we have more people on our sides than you do on yours. Two of your teammates already have broken arms. None of the guys on my side have even so much as a scratch. How do you hope to crush us again?"

His response was to smile, which confused me.

What happened next, I couldn't comprehend. In a second, Kazutora had managed to knock Kojiro down, flip Ryusei upwards, and charge at me with his fist raised.

Now, look, Kojiro and Rysuei being taken down was their fault. It still didn't Kazutora the dominance. His punch was strong, but strong enough to down, Ryusei or Kojiro

So when I say took the punch to my face unflinching, I mean it. My response was instinctive, I pulled his after it made contact and had him bent and his side in front of me, my knee launched upwards like missile, knocking the air out of his lungs, which was extremely, sadisticaly satisfying.

He dropped down onto the floor in a crouch, clenching his abdomen tight.

I watched as Kojiro draped him back up by his hair.

I leaned down to his height and said, "Take me to Valhalla's number 1."

His response was to spit blood and nod grudgingly with hate in his eyes.

Ryusei stood up, looking like he hadn't just been flipped upwards onto a desk, smile. Kojiro, still holding Kazutora's hair, also copied Ryusei. The rest of the Mizo Middle Five looked excited at the prospect of a fight.

I grabbed my jacket and moved to the door, I was followed in tow by Akkun on my right, followed by the Mizo Middle Five, and Rysuei and Kojiro on my left with Kazutora dragged behind us.

Hachiouzi followed at the back with Chonbo and Choji in front of him, clutching their arms.

This is going to be very fun.
