"*Huff*Huff* H-How durable are you, bastard...!?"
While gasping to fill his lungs with the required air, it lost during the physical activity Ryuuta was engaged in for ten minutes, the brownish black-haired boy cursed Kei once again as he intended to launch another punch at the latter.
"R-Ryuu-kun wait!"
This time Aoi didn't stand back and bolted forward before grabbing Ryuuta by his wrist and encircling her left arm around his waist to pull him from hitting Kei for the nth time. She allowed Ryuuta to hit his friend initially since she felt it was the banter between pals where Aoi shouldn't interfere.
On the sidelines, Hana and Sayaka had their lips slightly parted at the scene they just witnessed. Not because Ryuuta was using his brute strength which could have put any normal or even some awakeners into hospital. It was just that, the other party—Kei—was taking all the hits from Ryuuta head-on without even flinching even a bit, and the most fascinating and horrifying part. He has yet to get a single bruise or even scratch. He was entirely harmless.
"When did you awaken your S-rank traits?"
Hana asked. She was amazed to realize that before identifying this person as a former classmate, Kei introduced himself as their teacher who was evaluated with the highest rank. It was certain from the endurance he showed and also the zero mana presence he had, that Kei was a high ranking.
But, it was baffling to know that someone whom they considered nothing more than an acquaintance or more like a friend, would awaken with S-rank. Mainly people unlock their mana chambers at the age of ten or before. For Kei who was seventeen this year...it was definitely perplexing.
Kei rubbed the back of his head in embarrassment, as he heard Hana's query before he answered something which triggered a certain someone.
"Actually... I have been an awakener since the start-...Khak!"
This time a small groan left Kei's throat as he felt a massive blow connecting his belly and Ryuuta dangerously glimmering eyes staring from just some inches apart.
Ryuuta enhanced his fist with mana before pushing Kei off his balance with that punch.
"You not only disappeared without telling anyone but also knew about each one of us being superhuman since the start, right?! How many lies you have yet to reveal, you asshole!"
Ryuuta launched forward to land another decent blow on his dear friend and this time Aoi was not able to hold him since she was too shocked to realize that Kei has been aware of all of them since the start yet he behaved oblivion all those times in the past.
Indeed he deserved to get punched...
"Ryuuta."
Suddenly a figure emerged in between Ryuuta and Kei, making the prior mentioned halt in his steps as his feet skid slightly before with a frown he glared at the person who interfered during this special 'reunion'.
The three girls standing at the back suddenly jerked at their place before straightening their backs and walking to stand beside Ryuuta. Simultaneously they knelt on the floor with their left fist crossed across their chests as they greeted the person who unexpectedly arrived at the scene.
"Greetings to General Fujiwara."
They spoke in a rhythm to greet the general and sister of Ryuuta, Kaori Fujiwara who was not someone who should be currently present around at this time. Heck, even Ryuuta has not seen his sister past few weeks due to the chaos ensuing throughout the planet.
Aoi and the other two do not have to lift their faces to see that currently, the General didn't have a great mood considering the fact that she didn't reply to them and also the heavy intent releasing out of the lady was making the three slightly suffocated.
Thankfully she was suppressing her aura otherwise the three kneeling girls would have fainted already, considering what kind of a monster the General was, even among the S-rank.
"Don't try to interfere Nee-san."
Ryuuta growled under his breath as his own aura shot out, colliding with Kaori's but to no avail since he was no match for her. At the moment, his rage was controlling his actions, and he was far from backing down just now.
"Hoh~So you have grown balls to even order me around?"
Kaori narrowed her gaze, as she pushed her intent on her brother for his second mistake of the day. It was already a lot daring of him to hurt Kei when he decided to return human domain after so long and now her brother was even threatening her?
Both sides were not ready to settle back at all, even though one of them seemed to be getting suppressed by the other one but the said person was not ready to surrender just like that. Not until he doesn't beat Kei into a pulp for lying all those years.
***SNAP***
"That would be enough, for now."
With a snap of his fingers, all the weighing intent from the surroundings just vanished. It seemed like there was nothing in the first place to get worked up about. The three girls lifted their heads only to see Kei standing by Kaori's side and still being glared at by Ryuuta.
From what it seems, it was Kei who dissipated their enraged auras just like that without using any spell or artifact, right? Isn't that absurdly strong?
"While I know you are concerned about me Kaori, you have to see things from Ryuuta's side as well. If I have been put in his place, forget about just punches, I have thrown him to the sky before axe-kicking him back to the surface."
Hearing Kei's words Kaori realized that indeed she was thinking one-dimensionally but it was not like she was regretting her decision of stopping her brother.
On the other side, Ryuuta narrowed his gaze at Kei, upon hearing the casual way he was chatting with Kaori. Kei seemed a lot...intimate with the way he stood near his sister as well....that means...
"Great. You guys are even dating and didn't let the wingman know about it."
Ryuuta threw his arms in the air, making Kei and Kaori smile wryly in guilt since it was true that despite being in a relationship for a while now they haven't told anyone about it.
The other three, who have long gotten on their feet, had varying expressions regarding the matter. Aoi had a congratulatory smile. Hana was blank as ever. Sayaka was patting herself since in her diary she has played a vital role in helping the General to make room in Kei's heart.
Kaori was about to say something harshly once again to make her whining brother quit it for now, but suddenly Kei walked forward and bowed in front of Ryuuta startling everyone around.
"For whatever I have done, I apologize Ryuuta. But for now please calm down and listen to what I have to say."
Ryuuta clicked his tongue seeing the bastard playing it foul to get himself off the beating he deserves. But Ryuuta was also curious about a lot of things related to the mysterious past and surprising present, that was why he compromised for now and replied in a dry tone.
"Fine."
