Weird Trio

''What is Slych doing this time?'' Rawal asked his teammate Evol.

Evol looked at Irio's team stand and saw Slych and Ichiro talking and laughing.''Slych is actually laughing?'' Evol widened his eyes.

''That is a rare sight indeed.'' Rawal nodded.

''It's our turn soon, shouldn't we ask him to return?'' Evol asked.

''Let him be, he has been bored for so long, and finally, he is having fun so don't interrupt him,'' Rawal said and Evol nodded.

(Ichiro POV)

''Yeah that is true, what would harem protagonists do without their manhood, good question.'' I nodded towards Slych's question.

''It would probably be a fate worse than death for them.'' Slych nodded like sage.

''Yeah, they would get depressed and get suicidal tendencies,'' I told and Slych also agreed and said. ''But those women who actually join their harems are in my opinion the ones with the real problem, like aren't they aware that usually harem seeking protagonist is only after their body?''

''That is true!'' I said loudly and said afterward. ''Like how can they even think that harem protagonist can feel the love with 30 different women at the same time, it would be fine if it's like 5, then I might believe, but above 10 is big no.''

''Maybe it's just bad writing?''

''Yeah, fuck plot, who needs that shit.''

Lucas looked at us said.''What the fuck are you talking about and how did you end up talking about harem protagonists?''

Slych and I looked at each other and started thinking about what we were talking about previously.

A lightbulb appeared above my head and I said. ''We were talking about landscape belonging to Armya, because I have never seen anything about that place, but I don't know what happened, we slightly got derailed from our conversation.''

''What do you mean slightly? You were talking about landscapes then suddenly about harem protagonists, it's not slightly.'' Lucas said with annoyance on his face.

I shrugged my shoulders and Slych said with a grin. ''Polygamy is allowed in the continent of Marq.''

I raised my eyebrows and asked. ''Really?'' Slych nodded and told. ''It's because Marq is continent ruled by Royal Family and since Emperor has his own harem, he decided to approve polygamy in that continent.''

''That Emperor seems quite eccentric,'' I said and Slych nodded.

Lucas said with a grin. ''Well, good luck for both of you to even get one girlfriend.''

I snorted and said. ''Well, I will be satisfied with just one woman and then spend the rest of my life with her.''

''A-actually I have a girlfriend already,'' Slych said while blushing slightly.

I and Lucas looked at him with shock.

''..What?'' I asked with widened eyes.

Slych scratched the back of his head and nodded.

''H-how far have you gone,'' Lucas asked quietly and I looked at him in disgust and muttered. ''Pervert.'' Lucas slightly flinched but ignored me.

''K-K-kissing and all that..'' Slych whispered quietly while fidgeting.

''So you are still part of Virgin Trio, nice!'' I said while giving thumbs up.

''I don't want to be part of this trio, fuck this.'' Lucas cursed while looking at me in anger.

''A-actually, she has been getting quite p-physical with me.'' Slych stuttered.

I and Lucas looked at him sharply and asked. ''What do you mean?!''

''W-well.. she has been touching me.. around the groin area.'' Slych stuttered while slightly blushing.

I and Lucas at each other and nodded, then we said in unison. ''Let's burn this heretic!''

''W-what!'' Slych yelled in shock.

''We are single men and we don't need you to flex about your sex life here!'' I yelled and pulled Slych into chokehold.

''Lucas, bring the fire torch and wood!'' I yelled and Lucas nodded

''W-wait, I am still a virgin! We haven't done anything yet!'' Slych yelled in panic.

Lucas and I looked at him without believing anything he said and asked him with narrowed eyes .''Are you sure?''

''Yes!'' Slych yelled anxiously.

I stopped chokeholding Slych and patted his shoulder. ''Good, wait at least until you are 18 or wait until I have a girlfriend so I don't have to be jealous, alright?'' Slych nodded with a wry smile and thought. 'You are letting out your true thoughts!'

''So who is your girlfriend?'' Lucas asked in curiosity.

Slych said with a smile. ''She is my childhood friend, I have known her since I was 6, and we were together a lot and feelings just started blossoming.'' Lucas and I nodded.

''What about you two, anyone you fancy?'' Slych asked with a grin.

Lucas started fidgeting, I looked at him with widened eyes and said with a grin. ''Lucas likes someone~'' Slych also grinned.

''Y-yeah, but you don't know her.. she is a high school student,'' Lucas said shyly.

Slych and I grinned widely and teased Lucas. ''So Lucas likes older girls~'' I elbowed his waist while grinning

''What about you Ichiro?'' Slych asked and Lucas also looked at me in curiosity.

I thought for a moment and then shrugged my shoulders and said. ''No one special yet I guess.''

''Dude, you have like half of the school now fawning over you,'' Lucas said with slight annoyance.

''Don't care, no one yet has made my heartthrob,'' I said.

''Ichiro is so innocent~'' Slych teased.

I snorted to him and said.''Fuck off.''

Lucas and Slych grinned widely.

Sitting close to them, the club advisor of Irio thought anxiously. 'Their conversation topic changes way too often! Those three are so weird!'

...

(Slych POV)

After 30 minutes of waiting, I saw that my team's match is about to start.

''Alright, my team is up next, see you guys later,'' I told.

Ichiro looked at me with his black eyes and asked. ''If you aren't fighting, why are you going there?''

''Well, I am going to fight.'' I grinned towards Ichiro and he widened his eyes and asked. ''Why?''

''I was itching for a fight after seeing your match.'' I grinned.

Ichiro also grinned and put his fist towards me.''Good luck. ''I nodded and did fist bump with him and started walking towards my team.

''Good luck.'' Lucas also said and I gave him thumbs up.

While I was walking towards my team, I saw numerous eyes locked on me, which I should be familiar with by now, but it still feels uncomfortable.

Even my own teammates are quite reserved with me.

Usual Middle School and High School is going to be spent with friends while joking around them.

But my school life wasn't like that.

Since my Junior Year in middle school, people already saw me as a little monster, a genius with no rivals.

No one dares to joke around me or speak freely, they all act very stiffly and formally around me, which I hated.

My girlfriend on other hand has always been sweet with me and doesn't care if I am the greatest genius in Gensa.

I am an ordinary normal boy with her because she grew with me and she is the only one who has treated me the way I am as a person.

She was only one until today that is.

I saw Ichiro first time when he walked with his team towards his team stands.

I only had slight memory of Lucas from last year but didn't think of them as any kind of threat.

That was until I saw Ichiro doing his time attack, which was very shocking to me.

Ichiro doesn't have great speed like I do, so a time attack should be very disadvantageous for him.

But I was very wrong, his attack strength places him on top 3 in the entire middle school division.

At first, after I did my time attack, I looked around me to see who is worth fighting.

Even though many tried to act like they weren't impressed, they couldn't fool my eyes.

Even Team Captain of Taryn who is also Peak of Martial Leader and might be my greatest rival in this tournament, even his fighting intent went down by a great margin.

But only one didn't lessen his fighting intent, it even increased.

It was Ichiro, that's why I got quite curious about him.

Then I looked at his fight in Round of 128, but I wasn't very impressed about it.

Until finally, he fought against Hiena, he showed a little bit of his true strength and I greatly underestimated his speed.

His speed was great too, he didn't go all out in time attack!

Then I decided to talk with him, to see what kind of person he is.

I am greatly surprised, in a good way.

He was fun to talk with and he was the only one alongside my girlfriend who talked with me casually.

Ichiro is quite eccentric.

Well to phrase it better.

He is fucking weird dude.

But that was fun about him.

I feel like we got closer while talking and I can feel that we will be great friends.

Then there was Lucas.

I could see in his eyes that there was slight fear in them.

But it lessened by a lot while we were joking around.

He started talking with me casually too and I got a second friend with who I can talk freely without being formal.

I planned to fight because I wanted for them to see, what it takes to defeat me.

I know they won't get depressed about it, they aren't like that.

It feels nice to finally have friends to talk with.

and tonight we were planning to get evidence of that referee favoring the other, I joined because it felt like a fun and I can see what kind of personality Ichiro truly has.

But I was also quite unhappy about that referee's actions, that kind of action doesn't belong here.

Many top fighters around the world have one common thing they hate.

And that is people rigging the fights.

Everyone wants to have a fair fight, even the fighters who are getting favored on.

Not sure why Hiena didn't care about the favoritism or they simply didn't notice it.

But doesn't matter, for now, but we will find out.

But now it is time for my match.

I am gonna show them something special~
