(3rd Person POV)

In the hospital,

Felix asked, "Hey Gray, so you are getting discharged this weekend aren't you?".

Gray said while smiling," Yeah, I will be discharged on Sunday morning. The doctors told me."

Stephen exclaimed with a delighted face," Awesome, now we can meet you on Monday."

All of us chatted together and joked around. Though, Ben was not present here currently. He had already visited Gray in the afternoon.

When we left all of us were in a good mood. As soon as we came out of the hospital, Alex said, "Hey, don't you guys feel like something sweet?"

Gerard then offered an option, "Hey, I will go buy some ice cream. You guys wait here."

Though Eugene and Rowan said in unison, "We will go too!"

"Nah, I am faster on my own."

When Gerard went to buy ice cream, Eugene and Rowan felt touched and had an appreciation for him deeply.

While Gerard was not present, the rest of us were sitting near the bench and chatting together.

However, a person interrupted our conversation.

"Huh? Alex Go?"

Alex turned his face back on hearing someone calling his name.

The person who had interrupted said with a creepy smile on his face," Oh, it is you. Long time no see, man."

He glanced at us and made a very disgusted and arrogant expression. He turned towards Alex and said, "What happened to the fighter Alex Go I used to know? Did he die or something? Why are you with such losers? Wait, are they your minions?"

He scoffed and said, "Right, they must be. You beat them up and they became your-"

*Pow*

His monologue got halted with a punch by Alex on his face.

Alex's eyes dimmed and his expression turned a lot more serious, "I don't recall us being close enough to say hi to each other."

"Ha...You sure are something. Can't believe you have the nerve to talk to me... Do you have to say anything more? 'Cause I don't."

This sudden change in the behaviour of Alex felt very surprising to his friends.

While that person left clutching his bloody nose, Felix inquisitively asked, "Alex, are you ok? Was he someone you knew?"

Alex had an expression full of sorrow when he said," Yeah, I just don't want to remember my old days. I think I should go now. I will meet you guys later."

Felix grabbed his shoulders and then said understanding," I won't force you to go out of your space and tell me but one thing I can analyze is that you don't like him because of some incident in the past, correct?"

"Correct..."

"Then did you take revenge on him?"

"No, due to so many things happening all of a sudden. I just wanted to not be included in those things so I thought it to be better to ignore them."

"So, you didn't... Anyway, you can go now. We will meet you tomorrow. Bye!!"

"Bye guys....."

When Alex had left, Gerard came and asked where did Alex go. (A/N: Does this classify as a pun or not?)

When I informed him of the situation, he wanted to go and talk to him about it but I stopped him...

I gestured all of them to come in closer and whispered a plan to cheer him up.

All of them had a smile on their face except Eugene who was scared of that plan but caved in when he remembered Alex's sad face.

Half an hour later, Alex Go received a message from Felix.

It was a group selfie that had Eugene, Rowan, Gerard, Stephen, and Felix in it. It also had a beaten-up person whose name they found was Sean Shin.

The caption was 'Cheer Up Alex !!😁😊'.

Alex Go laughed at that and said to himself," You bastards..."

-----------------

In Donald Na's office,

Donald Na was sitting on a sofa and thinking about how to deal with the problem of Eunjang.

Eunjang has grown out of his expectations. It has two main power hitters like Felix Shin and Ben Park.

Two other Eunjang students are on the rankings like Gray Yeon and Gerard Jin. Reports are also telling him about some fighters like The Red Kangaroo, Stephen Ahn and Hyper Elbow, Rowan Im. These people alone are not a problem but together make them tricky to defeat.

The serious problem is Felix Shin, The Falcon. Records about him are non-existent besides the bare minimum documents. He was just transferred into Byuksan Middle School last year and went into Eunjang school because of some incident which is difficult to get hold of.

From the talk with Wolf Keum, Donald knew that he had extremely fast punches but his strength is not noteworthy at all. The terror of Felix Shin has submerged the Wolf Keum and he flinched every time the name of Felix was mentioned.

The question about if Donald is stronger than Felix was also not answered incidentally by Wolf which was a very eccentric opinion.

The flow of thought process of Donald Na was stopped when he heard a knock at the door.

"It's Jake."

Donald Na smiled knowingly and said, "Come in..."

Jake entered the room and settled on the seat opposite to Donald.

Donald said, "I heard about what happened two days ago. Did Kenny's reoperation go well?"

"Yeah, he is recovering right now, and he will be getting discharged soon. It's all thanks to you..."

"That's good to hear. I know it's been rough for the both of you..."

Jake was silent for a bit and then he said, "You can just cut to the chase. There's no need to beat around the bush..."

Donald nodded and said," Right, okay. I like how quick you are. You probably already know what's going on, so I won't waste time explaining details to you."

"Jake, I want you to take down Eunjang's Felix Shin."

Jake stood up and said while he turned back," All right. I won't bother you asking for reasons. I owe you and now... It's about time to pay you back."

When Jake closed the door behind, he was trembling with fear when he remembered the monster Felix Shin was..... But he had to fulfil his dues, so he clenched his hands and filled himself with determination.

(End of the Chapter)

For some reason, the first part of the chapter was really fun for me to write.

Anyway, I consider Donald as a mixture of the strength and stamina of Ben Park and the observational skills and quick judging of Gray Yeon. Just they are upgraded at a slightly higher level.
