Chapter 4: Day Of Decision

In my room a bag of clothing hung from a small hook on my wall, I was currently using that as a punching bag. And as I hit it, loud popping sounds could be heard. I was also using some cheap gloves I bought from some junkie down the street, but I didn't mind much.

  I executed my boxing moves perfectly on the makeshift bag, my father then burst in the room to see me hitting my bag of clothes.

"The hell are you doin'?! I'm tryna get some rest in here!"

"Sorry...I'll quiet down.."

I decided to stop hitting the bag and take a break.

Since yesterday I had already made up my mind, I was sure that I was strong enough. That I could finally take on Riko and his friends.

With my boxing technique and pretty well-defined body, I was sure of it. And now I just had to get to school and make it happen.

I went through nearly a month of bullying and nearly killed myself over it, now it was my time to make those bastards pay. At school, the bullying was already starting but I just smiled, waiting for Riko to show up and touch me.

And fortunately, there he was, walking into the classroom. He smacked me on my head and I stood up quickly. He stepped back a bit after seeing the look in my eyes, full of hatred and pure rage.

"What? you gonna hit me?...h-haha!" He laughed nervously.

'What's with this guy? What is this scary feeling I'm getting from him...' Different thoughts ran through Riko's mind as I glared at him.

I dashed at him and gripped his neck tightly, he gasped for air before I stuck his face with a fast jab. He was stuck in a daze, confused about what was happening.

All the students turn to see me beating on Riko, some snicker and laugh at him.

"Haha...look at that, damned bastard."

"That's what you get..."

"That's karma you bitch..!"

The students in the class mumbled to themselves about what was happening to Riko, and luckily the teachers weren't there yet so I had enough time to kick his ass, along with his friends.

I continued to hurl multiple punches at his face, his blood getting all over my hands. But I just kept going as he was slowly falling unconscious.

(Riko POV)

'Why can't I fight back?....damnit! his hits hurt so much!'

'Damnit! Stop hitting me! I get it!....ow! ow! ow!!!!'

'I'm missing a tooth....my mouth is bleeding and my nose is even broken...I'm pretty sure that my jaw will be as well...

I look over at Mia, she frequently bullies Yama as well. I recall her bumping into him on the streets, was he working out? is that what he was doing? Is that why he didn't care about us hitting and bullying him? Was he planning this since the beginning?

Mia stares at me with fear and concern, she would have never thought I would get beat this bad, especially not by Yama. She covers her mouth in horror at the bloody scene.

'No...don't look at me Mia...turn your head-'

(BACK TO YAMA POV)

I slam my fist down into his face, sending him to the floor. He was out cold and wasn't gonna get back up anytime soon.

His lackeys didn't take long to charge at me, but I swiftly dodged each of their swings. I touch the ground and sweep my feet at their ankles, they both fall over.

'Wow...that really worked?'

I didn't think about it long but I just went with it and started to rapidly punch one of them in the face, the other ran over to drag me off of him but it was too late as he was already knocked out.

I turned my head toward the last one standing, my blood-lusted glare made his knees weak, he had never felt such killing intent from a person ever. I walk toward him slowly, and as he looks up at me with terror he begs.

"P-Please let us go...w-we're sorry! It won't ever happen again..! please!"

His words meant nothing to me, and I sent a heavy kick to his neck. He falls to the ground and I am victorious. Small claps are heard around the room.

"Yeah! finally! I always hated those bastards.."

"Same man! same!"

Those people clapping are the worst as well. They saw me getting bullied for months and chose to do nothing about it, yet they cheered as I nearly beat my bullies to death.

I look over my shoulder at Mia and her friend, they get scared and flinch at just my glare.

I walked over slowly and now I stood before them.

"W-What?...you can't hit me...I-Im...a girl..."

A cold sweat ran down her cheek as I looked down at her, she knew there was no way out of this.

I raised my hand and slapped her, a red mark left on her face. But I wasn't done yet because I started to slap her back to back with very powerful strikes. Her face was now swollen and tears tracked down her face. All of her makeup washes away and her true face is revealed. An ugly ogre-looking brat, everyone gasps and starts to laugh at her.

"No...NO!!" she runs out of the classroom, and her friend follows but I make sure to trip her as she does. I slap her once as well and send her on her way.

...

I rested before the bathroom sink and made sure to wash my hands and face off. Removed all blood and after I walked back into class.

The principal stood in front of the classroom and ordered a boy named Yama, and Riko to come to his office.

Riko who still had a look of fear on his face jumped at just the principal's voice alone.

I grabbed my stuff and followed the principal to his office, along with the now-traumatized Riko.

A cocky smirk was now evident on my face as I looked at Riko shaking in fear. My revenge was now complete but I also had another idea about how to use Riko and his friends for my own plans.
