NonononoNONONONO!!!

Billy silently opened the door and found his teacher having fun as he binded Martha's arms with a rope an slammed his genitals inside her while holding her waist. Billy used this chance for sneaking behind him.

As Hank was distracted with Martha and the sound of meat slapping meat and muffled moans sounded everywhere in the classroom, Billy went undiscovered. He can't risk for Hank to react, so he immediately slammed his arm under his legs and on his balls.

The pain and the surprise from being hit there without any preparations made him twist his body in the ground while he held his balls in pain, tears were slowly coming out from his eyes as he looked to see what hit him.

Hank: ...B-Billy… W-What… the f-fuck… are you doing…

Billy: Shut up!

Billy stomped Hank's side, the foot was already really hard due to its skin, and if you add his own weight and the force it carried, it actually made really damage. Martha was surprised when Hank stopped pounding her and yelled in pain, so she tried to move around to see the situation.

However, her lower body was really sore and her arms couldn't be moved now because they didn't moved for a long time. But when she heard Billy's voice, she was shocked, did he really come here to save her?

Billy continued to attack him for a bit, then, before Hank recovered from the pain, he grabbed Martha and untied her ropes, before using them to tie Hank's wrists as hard as he could.

After that, he brought a chair near the window and then dragged Hank over there, before he used both of his hands to lift his head enough for him to face the window, and then he slammed his head on the window until it broke.

Shards of glass entered in his head, but Billy just slammed his head down, where there was another glass that pierced his throat, he let Hank there and then got towards Martha, who seemed scared about what is happening.

He grabbed Hank's coat and covered Martha, before carrying her in a princess style away from the school.

Martha was really scared and was crying, then she slowly said.

Martha: W… W-What will happen now…?

Billy: You will not be forced to do that anymore.

When Martha heard that, she started to explode in tears. Out from the school, there was Run and Alice waiting for him. When they saw Martha yelling, crying and hugging Billy, they smiled as they reached for them.

Alice: You did it!

Billy: Yeah, yeah. Hey Alice, take care of her for now, she will need some support from a girl like her.

Alice nodded as Billy laid down Martha, meanwhile, Run asked.

Run: What happened to our teacher?

Billy just took out a thumb and dragged it across his neck, which sent a clear message, and it was coincidentally true since his throat got cut. Run and Alice gulped, knowing that Billy just killed the teacher, but they let it go, he already broke bones of some random people, so it didn't gave them that much of an effect.

Then Alice took Martha a bit away while Billy and Run watched them.

Run: ...Are you sure nothing would happen?

Billy: Hahahaha! We are children, do you really think someone would think it's me doing the mess?

Run: ...Good point…

After Alice talked to Martha a bit, they reached Martha's house, where a single mother was waiting for her, and was surprised when she saw Billy, Run and Alice together with her.

Mother: Uhh… Are you perhaps my daughter's friends?

Billy: No lady, we just wanted to help your daughter with something, we will take our leave, she will explain to you. Oh right, send her to the doctor after the explanation is over, you will understand what I meant.

The mother raised an eyebrow before she saw Billy, Run and Alice taking their leave. 

[Tomorrow]

When Billy reached the school, he didn't see Martha anywhere, and saw a message in front of the door of his classroom.

"Go to classroom 2-H for lessons, this classroom is currently under inspection."

Billy shrugged and reached the classroom indicated, where he saw everyone of his class sitting there, teacher included.

Teacher: Oh, hey Billy. Finally we are all here… Almost…

Billy: Almost? Who isn't here?

The teacher's face turned sad as he looked down in sorrow.

Teacher: For now you go to your seat, there are some things that need to be explained about Martha.

Billy could feel that something was wrong, but the others were curious, so Billy sat on his seat and waited for the teacher. Soon, the teacher spoke.

Teacher: About Martha… She won't be coming anymore to school.

Billy's eyes widened a bit, he had an idea about where would the conversation go…

Student 1: Why?

Teacher: She is in a better place…

Billy: 'So she was pregnant… *Sigh*'

Run and Alice understood a bit about what the teacher meant due to the informations they knew about Martha. Lessons started, and soon they ended.

Run asked for Billy and Alice to go to Martha's house, which both of them agreed. They reached the place and saw that her mother was crying.

Mother: Oh… It's *Sob* You… Thanks for helping my daughter by the way.

Billy: Yes… Thanks. Did she… "Left"?

Mother: ...Yes, once we found out she was pregnant from the doctor like you said, she just couldn't take it anymore…

Billy: ...I see… Is there any chance I could go to her funeral?

Mother: *Hic* Y-Yes… It will be tomorrow at the nearby cemetery…

Billy nodded and then the group of children left her house. 

Run: Hey, can I go too?

Alice: I… I want to go too.

Billy nodded as they walked back to their houses, with Bora accompanying him back at home. He continued to keep what happened to school as a secret and continued his training, and then, he received a news from his father…

Bora: Billy, I want to talk to you about something… I hired someone strong from the Revolutionary Army to help me with taking care of the village.

Billy: Huh? Why?

Bora: Billy, if you want to get stronger, normal training won't work anymore, and you need experience. So I will give you a choice… Come with me for 4 years around the continent, or stay here and train like before.

Billy: ...I don't need to think much, I will follow you. But can you give me 1 day for everything?

Bora nodded and said as he patted Billy's back.

Bora: Go to sleep now, maybe try to confess to Alice now, heh?

Indeed, Alice wasn't the only one that was trying to confess, but he was just too timid on this thing, he may look like someone that does things straight, but romance wasn't his forte, it was Gabriel's, and he was in literally another world and universe… And probably taking out condoms from his girlfriend's tongue like magic...

Billy: Y-Yeah, it will be the first thing I will do tomorrow… 'Well, better now than never…'

[Tomorrow]

Billy, Run, and Alice were again playing together since there wasn't school that day and Bora took him there anyway.

Alice: Hey Billy, can you show us some other trick?

Billy laughed and took out a deck of cards, before he pinched the opposite ends of the deck, sending the cards flying around, the cards were flying around as soon they fell down back on Billy's hand, surprising Run and Alice again.

Alice: Hey Billy, can you teach me?

Billy: Sorry, but these tricks can't be easily taught, besides, there are a few of things I want to talk about…

Run: About what?

Billy: Well, tomorrow I will need to leave this place.

The sudden news caught Run and Alice off guard.

Billy: I will go with my father to train, and I will be away for 4 years…

Run was a bit sad from this, but Alice… She was horrified.

Alice: 4… 4 years…?

Billy: Yeah… But…

Billy's hands curled in fists and tightened as he gritted his teeth, he took a deep breath as he hugged Alice and kissed her, surprising both Alice and Run. Alice was froze on her place as she looked at Billy with wide eyes.

Was he saying that he loves her? Well, she didn't know what he means if it isn't love, so with a blush on her checks she hugged Billy back as she continued to kiss him back. Meanwhile Run watched everything with a stunned look on his face, before he calmed down and smiled.

Run: '...Maybe I should get more friends, since Billy will leave and Alice will be the only person I have… Besides, I turned 14 years old some months ago, I need to act more mature when Billy is even stronger than me…'

Run sat somewhere waiting for Alice and Billy to have their private time.

Billy: ...So, do you promise you will wait for me in these 4 years?

Alice cried in happiness as she smiled.

Alice: Yes... 

Billy chosen to pass only 1 ay with them because he didn't want anything to be difficult if he stays with them longer. And when Bora came, Alice and Billy gave their last kiss, which made both Run and Bora smile…

[͠4 ͢Y̧͟e̸̕͟ą̕r҉s͞ ̵͟L̛at̕e҉̴r]̵̀

This wasn't supposed to happen…

Alice

…

1004 - 1018

Those numbers were inscribed in a stone, they were the years between her birth and her Ḑ̧͜E̛͞A̶̴T̴̢́͞H̸.

Billy: ...How…

He was kneeling in front of a grave with a letter on his hands, he just returned after 4 years of training with Bora… 4 years… He reached the Joyou town, and asked Run about Alice, but he just said to go to Yowa Village with a sorrowful face.

And Alice is dead, since 1 year… His hands trembled as he read through the old letter.

"Hey Billy… If you are reading this letter… I'm glad that you came back, I met some friends while you were away, they were nice. Then I encountered your sister, she was a nice woman, but then some bad guys came in, they said that the new Emperor of the Empire wanted your village gone… And I tried to help Sarah...

Sorry… I wasn't able to… And I broke my promise… I couldn't wait for 4 years…"

Billy's hands tightened as he gritted his teeth and held the only thing about Alice close to himself, hugging the letter like it was the most important thing he had…

*Drip*... *Drip*...

His tears were wetting the soil near the gravestone… The earth didn't seemed to be digged and filled back, probably no one could even find her corpse… 

Billy: ...Alice… Is this another prank…? This isn't funny! ALICE!! COME OUT! WHEREVER YOU ARE!! PLEASE!! ...Please…! *Hic*...This isn't funny anymore… Where are you… Alice…? Alice!? ALICE!? WHERE ARE YOU?! ALICE!!!

Soon, drops of water filled the entire ground… It was raining, but his flames were turned off much time before than the arrival of the rain.
