Chapter 3

Next Morning…..

Garou looked at the slightly bruised Daniel, who was scratching his head.

"Umm… Last night I f-"

"Shut it. I swear to god. That is not how you fall down stairs…." Garou growled, as Daniel unconsciously gulped."Your excuses were all trash…. Tell me who beat you up before I finish the job…." Garou grinned, but to Daniel, it looked like the maw of the devil….

Few Minutes Later…..

Garou slid open the door, walking into the classroom. As normal, the few actually normal students sat in their seats, doodling away or whispering to each other. The classroom was pretty bright, having a good view of the outside, but it was ruined by the few delinquents sitting in the corner of the classroom.

There was virtually no one sitting near them, as the group of losers laughed and played around, waving their phones around. They were all your cliche, high school manhwa delinquents. Weird haircuts, mostly ugly faces, and of course, that one girl who would also hang out with them, which was in this context, Zoe, the girl who was hitting on Daniel previously.

Garou patted the tense still timid Daniel on the shoulder. In this body, he was a lot taller, only a few inches shorter than Garou.

As the two walked into the classroom, Daniel quickly returned to his seat, while Garou approached the delinquents, his massive figure looming over them. The delinquents looked up before their eyes widened.

"Hey." The delinquents looked up, a guy with an extremely pointy chin stood up, as Garou spoke slowly. "Did you happen to strip and take a photo of a fat wimp the other day?"

"Y y-yes…." Doo Lee looked up, trying to act competently as Garou towered over him.

"Kay! Guess I'll beat you up!." Garou spoke again, cheerfully speaking loudly.

"....."

"..."

"....!"

Silence reigned over the classroom, as all of the student's jaws dropped. Daniel shrunk into his seat, wishing he could just go and dig a hole. His friend was a certified battle-maniac. All those years ago, for no apparent reason, Garou decided to challenge the entirety of their school's delinquent population, who, not taking the provocation very well, angrily agreed.

In the end, eighty-six students were hospitalized, but somehow, Garou was not expelled…

Most of the delinquents were trembling, unsure as to what to do, but they didn't know about the incident as that was years ago.

"Hey." A clear voice spoke out, as Zack Lee cracked his neck, standing up. He was a pretty tall guy, not as tall as Garou, but still quite tall for his age. He had black earrings and a nasty expression on his face. Zack's hair was done back in a miniature pompadour of sorts and his eyes were glaring murderously. "You're f-ing funny. You know that? Get up you f-ing worm." Zack spoke bitterly, obviously in a horrible mood.

"Oh? But I'm already up…." Garou replied, pointing at himself, who had been standing the whole time. "Plus, I just wanna beat up those guys….." He added on, blowing a lock of silver hair out of his face.

"A fight?"

"Fashion department?"

"Dang… Zack Lee and a new guy."

"The new guy is pretty hot…"

"Zack will win right?"

Zack got out of his seat, veins popping on his forehead.

"You are done!" Zack thrust his fist forwards, punching out directly towards Garou's face, the students in the classroom gasping.

"BAM!" The fist connected, but not with Garous face, but with a hand. Garou caught Zack's fist, smiling. "Nice punch…." That was all he said before he yanked Zack down, and drilled a fist into his solar plexus.

"Eagh!" Zack spat, gasping for air as he flew, smashing into the opposing wall, crashing with a harsh thud. He trembled, attempting to get back up, but collapsed to the ground.

Garou turned, looking at Doo Lee before he mercilessly punched out, there was no technique or skill to it. None of those were needed, it was just a straight powerful punch that smashed into the terrified Doo Lee, who, like Zack, was sent flying, before hitting the ground. Before Doo Lee could run, Garou grabbed him by the head and smashed Doo into the wall. Everyone flinched, as Doo Lee was rammed, hard, leaving an indent in the poor wall.

Garou made sure not to give the guy a concussion, but took the phone and deleted the photo of naked Daniel.

"Anyone mess with the fat wimp, I'll beat the crap out of em….." Garou proclaimed, going back to his seat as their teacher walked in unhurriedly, class starting.

The teachers at this school…. Besides the less irritating delinquents, were mostly scared of them, wimping out or not doing their job properly.

Garou sat there, bored, as he listened as their teacher ranted on about career choices and whatnot.

Zack sat in his chair, slouched over, and extremely pissed off. The guy had humiliated him in front of Mira! And…. what would Mira think? He was crying internally, Daniel sitting next to him awkwardly.

A few hours later….

Garou took his stray, walking out of the cafeteria past the majority of the students, and onto the roof. Though it was a little cliche, there wouldn't be many people up there… He walked up the stairs and opened the door.

It was slightly windy up there, with no one around. The roof was quite wide, with a few solar panels and air turbines humming away, but otherwise, the rest was all just fence and floor.

Sitting on the side of the roof, Garou watched the busy Seoul Cityline in the distance, eating some beef and rice. The chefs and lunch-ladies here were on another level indeed. The savory taste of the meat combined with the subtle, warm rice made for an excellent combination.

The wind ruffled through his long exploding hair as Garou hunched over, eating lettuce. After a while, behind him, he heard the roof's metallic door open with a clang. Another student walked over, also carrying a tray.

The guy was tall, looking sort of like a supermodel with his long legs and healthy complexion. He looked straight out of a K-drama, with his smooth blue and pink hair and two clear, almond-like eyes, which would make most girls dreamy.

Eli Jang.

"...."

"....."

"Hi," Eli said uncertainly as he looked at Garoue, who was crouching down, staring at him.

"Hey," Garou replied, moodily eating some rice..

"Am I bothering you?" Scratching his weird blue hair, Eli asked.

"Does it really matter?" Garou said, looking at Eli, his eyes glimmering. He could tell, that this guy was good, probably the best in this school… It didn't seem like he was an expert martial artist or anything, but the feral dangerous aura that radiated out of Eli seemed a lot like a few people he had met in his life….

Chewing on the last of his beef, Garou looked up at Eli Jang, who sat down nearby, eating some fish and rice.

There was some silence, as Garou cleaned up, wiping his mouth with a tissue, before looking down at Eli, who stared back at him. Clearing his throat, Garou spoke once more. "You're pretty strong.."

Eli's eyes widened for a fraction of a second, before he scratched his head once more, smiling up at him. "I have no idea what you are talking about…." That was what he said.

Shaking his head, Garou knew better than to push on, not really caring. He waved to Eli, who nodded back, as Garou took the tray, descending down the stairs, and back to the bustling cafeteria.

That wouldn't be the last time Garou and Eli would face each other…

Plopping down in a chair next to Daniel, he sighed, thinking of some other random things.
