Chapter 22

"So, what are we going to do now?" Masao asked as they strolled around the academy.

"Hmm, I actually expected to meet Tatsuo here, guess not everything goes with the plot, tsk," Ryu clicked his tongue.

"What plot? Don't spout nonsense," Masao said with his usual smile.

"Well, anyways, want to go eat?" Ryu asked.

"Sure," Masao replied.

"Also when is the duel again?" Ryu asked.

"She said it would be a week later, at the academy battle ground," Masao read the paper that was given to them earlier.

"Hmm, we could use this chance to get information, one plate of curry please," Ryu ordered to the lady in charge.

"I'm not really good at gathering information, I'll get a Salmon," Masao ordered.

"Then I'll take care of the information, what will you do?" Ryu asked.

"I don't know, maybe I'll look around the academy or something," Masao said.

"Here you go," the lady gave them their orders.

"We can't get you lost now in the academy now and go reach another kingdom," Ryu said as he paid the lady and picked up his plate.

"That's over exaggerated, I'm not that bad at directions, I just got lost sometimes," Masao said as he also picked up his.

"Anyways, we have to regroup with Tatsuo first and find the strongest man in the world, he may be the 4th member of the chat group, the system was talking about," Ryu said.

"Are you sure?" Masao asked as he sat down on the empty seat they found.

"Not really, but I know it's somehow connected with him," Ryu said as he took a bite from his curry, "Oh this tastes good," he exclaimed.

Masao also took a piece of his food and tasted it, it was very good, a little less tastier from the chefs in his world but it still tasted good, they continued talking while eating, planning of what they will do and their plans on going adventure after all, they don't know where and when the foreign demons would attack.

While they were talking a certain group was walking towards them, one was a familiar girl who had a blonde hair, "Well, well, if it isn't the two mongrels," Aika was about to put her feet on the table when she suddenly felt a chill, she immediately retracted her feet and looked at the one who sent her chills.

Masao still had his usual smile and looked at them, "Please don't do anything disrespecting," Masao said.

"H-how dare you mongrel! Beat these two up!" Aika commanded her lackeys who immediately followed her command, they first acted intimidating by cracking their knuckles and tilting their heads side by side, "Pfft," Ryu tried to hold his laugh as he looked at them.

"What are you laughing at? Huuuh?" one of the lackeys said in an intimidating tone.

"M-Masao, I can't take it anymore, they … they hahaha," Ryu was laughing hard.

"Ryu, at least appreciate their efforts," Masao said.

"You f*cker!" one of the lackeys roared as he raised his fist up, and swung it towards Ryu.

*Boom!

A figure was seen sent flying away and crashing into the wall, leaving a deep webs of cracks, he then fell in the ground not moving anymore, this was the lackey that was about to punch Ryu earlier, Ryu was still laughing his ass of while Masao had the hilt of his sword shoved forward from where the lackey was last time.

Aika and the lackeys froze from their position as they weren't even able to see how Masao moved, Masao put his sword back again and continued eating, he then turned his head to Ryu who just finished laughing, "Are you done?" he asked.

"Yeah, I haven't laughed that hard in a long time, thanks to you guys," Ryu said to them and continued eating.

"Wha-What are you doing servants! Beat them up now!" Aika yelled.

The lackeys looked at each other and nodded, then two lackeys charged towards Ryu, "Die!" one of the lackeys said and sent a punch towards Ryu.

Ryu just tilted his head a little bit then the hand of the lackey passed by his shoulders he then raised his shoulder a little bit and it hit the elbow of the lackey.

*Crack!

"Arghh!!!" the lackey yelled from pain as his elbow bent in the wrong way, he kneeled on the ground while groaning in pain, the other lackey reached Tanaka and sent a kick towards his face, Ryu only extended his hands and elbowed the knee of the lackey.

*Bam!

The leg was sent flying away along with his body and crashed into one of the tables, destroying it, "Argh!" The lackey groaned from pain as a huge swollen lump appeared on his knee that was elbowed by Ryu, "Thank you for the food," both Ryu and Masao said at the same time as they picked up their plates. What was left were the frozen Aika and her remaining lackeys.
