Chapter 39 - EPISODE 39: “A Fist That Shattered Silence”

Tension in the Air

The sun rises over Shino High School, and the campus buzzes with a mixture of tension and excitement. The long-awaited school tournament is about to begin. But in the middle of the crowd, Sang walks quietly, a storm hidden beneath calm eyes.

Sang (thinking):

"Why does it always have to be me? I'm trying to hide who I am… but even fate drags me into the spotlight like this ."

He pauses, watching students from Branch 2 step off their buses—rowdy, muscular, loud.

"Why do they even here? This is our ground..."

Bhuvaen and Abdhar came and join him, lightening the mood.

Abdhar:

"Yo, Sang. Do you sign up for anything?"

Sang (shrugging):

"Nope. I don't like duels like this. Or yoga, either. What do you signed up for ?"

Bhuvaen (grinning):

"We signed up for yoga. Time to find peace, my friend."

But peace was the last thing the day had in store.

Twisted FateA loudspeaker crackles:

"All students report to the school grounds!"

The campus has transformed — dueling rings, yoga mats, food stalls… all set beneath the open sky. The energy shifts when the Branch 2 students arrive, rough . The teacher begins calling names and assigning students to their respective activities.

Suddenly:

Teacher:

"Sang Jaey — duel category!"

Sang (shocked):

"What?! I didn't sign up…"

Bhuvaen see's the sang as cheat buster .

From across the field, Neeran smirks.

Flashback – the night before:

Neeran scribbles Sang's name under the duel list.

Then zoick and Rakhad who sees that sang is getting bullied by neeran. They both came to sang and says,

Zoick (smiling):

"Looks like it's time to prove something."

Rakhad (serious):

"He signed you up for humiliation. Don't let him walk away with it."

Duel of Strength – Sang vs GoliathThe matches begin. Neeran shows off first, easily defeating his opponent with flashy hand combat. His fan girls erupt in applause.

Sang (muttering):

"Not bad."

Everyone turned arrived and there show there skills and sometimes branch 1 wins and sometimes branch 2 wins . And then …

Sang's turn arrives. His opponent is a towering beast, 6'2", built like a truck. The crowd goes silent as they face off.

Teacher:

"Begin!"

Sang barely reacts before a massive punch knocks him to the ground. The crowd gasps.

Neeran (mocking):

"Hah. A kid like you wants to fight?"

The tall student grabs Sang by the neck, lifting him. Murmurs ripple across the crowd.

Spectator:

"Didn't he once kill someone in a match?!"

Rakhad (in pride):

"This is no longer a match..."

The Awakening of PowerSang's eyes close as he starts to lose air. But in a flash, his hand moves — WHAM! The giant is hurled across the ring.

Gasps echo.

Sang opens his eyes. For a split second, they flicker with an unnatural blue glow.

Giant (shaking):

"Wh-what was that… his eyes…?"

Before anyone can process it, Sang blitzes across the ring, lands a clean strike to the man's face, and finishes with a devastating kick—launching the hulking opponent out of the ring, dragging the ring posts along with him.

Spectators:

"NO WAY!!"

The Final Duel – Neeran vs SangWith the ring destroyed, the sang and neeran were only remains, then final duel between them takes place on open ground. The crowd circles around them, the air tight with anticipation.

Neeran opens with flashy attacks, but Sang dodges effortlessly. Each of Sang's steps forces Neeran backward.

Neeran (nervous):

"Tch…"

Sang punches him hard in the gut, causing Neeran to stumble. As Neeran lunges forward, Sang grabs his face mid-air and slams him to the ground.

Memories of bullying flash through Sang's mind. His fist glows faintly with a mysterious energy—one only Neeran can see.

Neeran (terrified, trembling):

"What… what is this pressure…?"

Sang raises his arm—ready to strike.

The Wall Breaker

BOOM!

The air explodes.

Dust floods the field. Screams of shock fill the silence.

As the dust settles, Neeran opens his eyes—his body intact. But behind him...

The school wall has shattered like glass.

Sang stands before him, hand down, eyes cold.

Sang (voice low, sharp as a blade):

"Don't interfere with me."

Silence. No one dares speak.
