It was a standoff.
All boys in a girl's restroom.
Door locked.
Just all 6 of them stared back at each the black haired boy.
The boy stared at them back.
With two unconscious on the floor, clearly things weren't so friendly and smooth as one would hope.
Mayeda stood there with an expressionless face, a small calm smile would be plastered however.
He had a missing shoe on one of his foot from earlier, his school shoe was on the floor, right next to one of the unconscious men he knocked down earlier.
Silence.
The faint smell of soap and toilet paper filled the bathroom, much more cleaner and cozier than a men's restroom.
Kamamura would speak up.
"Why go so far to get in our way? We've done this before and now you're deciding to butt in for once?" He questioned him with his black eyes hardening.
…
"Well I suppose you could I had a change in heart. Rather having enough of you having your way with everyone without worries." Mayeda responded with a calm voice.
His hands slid into his pockets, feeling calm and composed at the moment.
The group of boys looked around at each other.
With Yoshikawa thinking Usui is the one who was helping her from the shadows, I suppose that'll be implemented into her mind.
Good thing I had memorized Usui's glasses and prescription onto it just in case, so it would make it more realistic.
Yoshikawa is definitely going to try to "return" them to him, so things seem to be set in motion for now.
For my part, all I need to do is…
"Do you guys give up? Clearly I've outdone all of you despite the numbers you have." Mayeda added.
Okana is pissed, well in fact, all of them were getting more pissed.
"I suppose quantity couldn't ever beat quality, hm?" Mayeda added more salt to the wound.
Even worse in such a casual tone as if it was the most obvious thing in the room.
Suddenly as if time had stopped for a moment.
A large fist swooshed over, reflecting from his clear crystal eyes, seeing it so clearly and perfectly.
Huh?
Mayeda sees a fist in front of him as if a pause button was on.
It was Kamamura.
Enraged.
Swinging a fast punch way faster than the blink of an eye despite how many meters away he was from him.
The tall boy's black bangs slicked back from the force of the punch.
Clearly it was covered with a lot of power and speed that any normal person would've been hit and not know what hit them.
However.
POW!
The fist connects.
With the wall.
The other boys were shocked, but not Okana.
He had seen everything.
Especially seeing Mayeda dodging his head to the left of the punch.
A huge crater in the wall was visible after the impact, a loud sound vibrates through the thick walls.
If it hadn't been for the wall's size and thickness, it would've been heard from the outside.
Mayeda retaliated that punch with a knee to their arm.
BAM!
A sharp gasp of pain escaped the brown haired boy's mouth before being met with a punch in the stomach, sending him back to the group behind him.
CRASH!
The boy crashed back into the group of men behind him, catching him before he could crash into the wall.
Kamamura was shocked.
How is that possible? I ran and threw that punch with everything I had at him!? And he just avoided it?!
Tch.
He stood back up and shrugs the others off to look tough.
"How?"
Was all that he could say to Mayeda.
The black haired boy puts his hands back in his pockets and thinks for a moment.
"I don't know, I guess that's what you call dodging or someth-"
"DON'T YOU FUCKING LIE TO ME, YOU LITTLE SHIT!"
Mayeda was rudely interrupted by the man's outburst again.
"No normal person could've dodged and attacked that quickly. How did you learn how to fight?!" Okana also demanded, also unable to comprehend what the hell just happened.
Man… why're they so shocked about that? What's so special about him and his punch anyways?
Mayeda sighs and shook his head.
"How I learned to fight…?"
He thinks.
"I watch a bit of anime I suppose."
The man with clear crystal eyes responded.
…
"Is he fucking joking?" The group of guys said in unison.
"Hehe."
Mayeda chuckles a little and takes a hand out of his pocket.
"Come on, I thought you were gonna get back at me. Is this your sign of saying I get away scott free?" He mocks them again.
Tch.
"Why're you helping Yoshikawa? Are you two dating? You say you felt like it, but there's more to it. I know it." One of the boys from the back questioned his motives.
Why is Mayeda really helping Yoshikawa?
Does he like her?
Or perhaps…
"No, we're not dating yet. We're simply just… eh…"
Mayeda was answering until he was stuck.
What're we…?
Friends?
I don't know if she's comfortable enough to be called that in front of others.
Accomplices?
Nah that doesn't sound right…
The boy was still thinking before he eventually found the right word.
"I guess you could say we're both educated learners with a wish together."
He finally said it.
Everyone was stunned.
The fuck does that mean?
Every boy was thinking at the same time.
"That doesn't answer shit! Why're you helping her if you barely know her or not together?" Okana demanded with his fist clenched, still as confused as frustrated.
"Look man, I don't have time for boy talk in the bathroom, I'm going back to class." Mayeda sighs again and dismisses them before turning around to see the door.
"Oh no you don't!" One of the boy's exclaimed again before running at him.
Their fist raised up and ready to swing.
"Wait! Don't! It's a trap!"
Okana yelled out to his friend.
But it was too late.
Mayeda, with a smirk, swiftly grabbed Kamamura out in front of him, taking the punch for him instead.
POW!
The brown haired boy gets socked in the face with a hard punch.
Kamamura slumps to the ground, rubbing his face to try and soothe the pain.
In less than a split second, Mayeda kicks a soap dispenser out of the wall towards the boy.
BAM!
Striked hard into the side, the boy instantly gets knocked out and falls to the ground.
Now leaves just four left.
The soap dispenser fell to the floor next to the unconscious body.
Everyone was taken aback from what was happening.
How is this man able to act so quickly?
How is he able to hit somebody this hard?!
He cannot be human!
HE CAN'T!!!
Without a word, Mayeda runs up before anybody in the bathroom could react and chops the back of two other boy's neck from behind.
I've always wanted to feel like I'm in an anime fight. This is somewhat like a dream come true when I was young.
Clearly Mayeda was having a bit more fun than he should deep inside.
THUMP!
THUMP!
The two bodies fell to the sides, now leaving Okana and Kamamura, both on opposite sides of the room to each other.
Okana's eyes widened, sweat was already beginning to fall down his face.
Looking up at the taller boy in front of him.
The crystal eyes stared back at him.
…
A stare off.
"Oh yeah… you asked earlier on why I was as helping Yoshikawa. I never got to answer why."
His hand slithered onto the blonde boy's shoulder.
"A man doesn't need any reason to help a woman in need. But those who do what they want with woman without any reasons…"
His hand gripped his shoulder tighter.
A wince of pain was brought onto him.
"Will also be finding no reasons for me not to show what it means to feel powerless as well." He states with a condescending tone before chopping the back of Okana's neck, making him unconscious next.
THUMP!
His body fell onto the floor and now on another boy's unconscious body.
The floor looked like a murder has just taken place.
Bodies scattered around the room.
Nothing but silence in the air.
Now it just leaves one.
Mayeda turns around to look back at the injured Kamamura.
His eyes full of condescension and stoicism.
Not the same for the smaller boy however, his eyes reflected of fear and nervousness.
"W-wait! Please don't!"
Kamamura began to beg.
The scene looked terrifying.
Just minutes ago everyone was conscious and had their plan nearly perfectly executed to take Yoshikawa for themselves.
If it hadn't been for him…
Mayeda walked up to the man whose on his knees and looked down on him with the same gaze.
Now everyone was unconscious and Yoshikawa had escaped.
The school cameras were being taken in for repair, so today was the only day that they could've taken it to their advantage of taking Yoshikawa, the beauty they had longed for.
Therefore, no witnesses other than anybody here would know what happened.
"Anything else before you end up like your friends?" Mayeda asks in a cold voice.
…
"You won't get away with this, you know? Once we all get up from this, you'll get suspended or possibly expelled from commiting battery against seven students! And we'll always have more chances to violate her no matter if it's in school or outside!"
He growls out, he was scared but also heated with anger.
Kamamura will remember this for the rest of his life.
"Hm…" The tall boy hummed before lowering himself down to their level.
"So if you plan to tell what happened here. Will you be able to say how badly you've been destroyed right now? The embarrassment of your power over students being crushed so easily?" He responded with an expressionless gaze.
It was scary. Sending the boy over the edge of fear.
Kamamura tries to retaliate.
"It doesn't matter! As long as you go down in the end, it'll all be worth it! You fucking bitch!" He tells out.
"Shhh…" Mayeda shushed with a finger pressed against his lips before tilting their chin up to look up at him.
The boy was taken aback as his eyes met his.
"Me? Going down? Sure I've never been the confident or kind person but… when it comes to defending others…"
Mayeda tilts his head, his eyes still hypnotizingly cold yet beautifulz
"I'd never imagine losing to some random guy filled with insecurities."
STAB!
A mental stab to the chest hits Kamamura.
Never did someone's words hurt so deep yet so hard at the same time.
He had heard all kind of different insults before but one where he had no control or power in felt different.
His popularity meant nothing at this moment.
Relations with women?
Countless nights?
His friends?
They all amounted to nothing from the very start of high school for this.
He always imagined himself as someone that was strong, but his image of his own self was destroyed by this guy.
"Aww, are you hurt? Well, you won't be able to think about this pain for awhile..." Mayeda added on before finishing it off.
He lightly chopped the back of Kamamura's neck, making his consciousness slowly fade.
"So why don't you feel it instead?" He finally said and stood up.
Mayeda looks around the room.
Unconscious bodies everywhere.
In the fucking girl's restroom.
Sigh.
Mayeda takes his phone out of his pocket and pressed a button before closing it again into his pocket.
Welp, that was fun. I felt like I was in an anime episode today for a bit.
He takes out a cookie and began to walk out the room and ignoring the bodies.
Nom nom nom.
He noms and eats his cookie.
Good thing I made it out on time, took care of everything at a reasonable time that a normal guy would be using the bathroom for.
Mayeda finished his cookie and opens the bathroom door, scanning around the hallway.
It'd look really bad if the school cameras caught me coming in and out of the girl's bathroom.
God, I'd be put on some list made by the girls of who to avoid.
Mayeda swiftly exits the bathroom after seeing body was outside and fixed his clothes in the hallway.
"Mayeda?"
He was scared shitless deep inside, but his body remain still and calm.
The black haired boy quickly regained his inner composure before turning around.
Matsui Miki.
She stood there in her black school uniform in a long black ponytail, looking as cute as ever today.
Oh, it's just her.
She clutched the bathroom passed to her chest, coming to conclusions.
Oh… I see… she must've immediately gotten the bathroom pass after Yoshikawa was done with hers since there's only one…
Good thing she didn't see me just minute ago leave the girl's bathroom, or else that'd be hard to explain that I had to beat the stuffing out of a group of guys in there.
He closes his eyes.
If she plans to go to the bathroom, she'll see everything…
So I need to convince her somehow to not go in…
His eyes opened again.
That's when he noticed something.
…
