Suddenly his phone abruptly starts ringing on the side, Kimura hears his ringtone as he looks over and walks over. Kimura looks at the name, it was a number he didn't know but he couldn't give up the opportunity to hang up without pranking them.
"Hello?" Kimura answers nonchalantly.
"K-Kimura…?" A feminine voice comes through.
"Asuka??" He replies.
"G-Good…I need you to listen c-carefully…" her voice was a little shaky on the other side.
"Asuka what's going on over there." Kimura's tone suddenly shifts.
"D-Do you know M-Ms. Takashi's F-Flower shop…?"
"I know the general location." Kimura began heading down from the rooftop into the dormitories.
"I-I'll m-meet you there…" she abruptly hangs up.
"Asuka?! Asuka!!" He looked at his phone as he slid it into his pocket.
"God damn it…"
Kimura ran down the stairs and out of the dorms as he ran towards the front gate. He wasted no time as his eye began to glow its purplish-blue hue. Don't overdo it… He mutters as sparks of lightning begin to appear, moments later Kimura begins running at breakneck speeds.
Meanwhile, Asuka was holding her own against other Kyoushou Academy students as she lowered her guard for a second. Her left leg gives out as she winces, suddenly a fist slams into her right abdomen as she fully buckled, falling to her knees as she writhed in pain.
She clenched her hand into a fist as she held her abdomen, the other students then lifted her up as two of them held one arm each. A third student, a male student with a scar over their right eye, pats her cheek before backhanding her.
"You had one job nutcase." He tells Asuka.
"That one job was to hand the student the red siphon, how did you fuck it up so bad!" he punches her stomach out of anger.
"I…I was j-just…doing what I w-was told…" Asuka managed to get her words out, her body swelling from the mana filled punches.
"Oh? And how did you think that went!" Another backhand came from the male student.
"The boss isn't happy with the results! Do you know how many strings he pulled just to get that stuff?!"
"Clearly…n-not enough…" she sighs as she feels another punch straight to her right shoulder.
Asuka cried in pain as her shoulder swelled up, suddenly another punch came smashing into her abdomen again, the two students holding her let go as they let her drop to the floor and curl up in pain.
"Why can't you just get shit done like the rest of us, why are you the one fucking up so much." The male student scolds her as he puts his hands in his pockets.
"P…Please…" she utters out.
"I just…just wanna leave Kyoushou…" tears form in her eyes.
The three students began to break out into laughter at her comment. Laughing at how outrageous her desire was as one began walking up to her getting ready to kick her in the face. However, the lampposts nearby suddenly began to flicker as they caught their attention. The three of them began looking around like a bolt of electricity; one of the boys went flying down the street. This caught them all off guard except Asuka, recovering as she just lay there instead of getting up.
"Huh?!"
The male student looks back as a blur goes past him as the second student suddenly goes flying back down the same street, going slightly farther than the first. The scared student was full of fear of what was happening all around him as he was wasting no time getting into a full fighting stance as he squared his stance.
"W-Where are you!!" he shouts.
Nothing answered back as Kimura taps his shoulder from behind. Out of fear and reflex, the student spun around throwing a punch. Kimura slips to the outside as it was moving in slow motion for him.
TOO SLOW!!
After slipping out to the outside he throws an angled hook from below smashing his fist up against the student's chin. The student began falling back as their fall was abruptly stopped as they looked to see Kimura holding onto their wrist.
"…"
"W…Wha—"
Without a word Kimura suddenly pulls him in as he slams his fist straight onto the man's face, the back of their head smashing into the street as it cracks the ground up towards the sidewalk. The street caved in slightly from the punch as the student was left on the ground with a slight outline of his body.
Kimura looks and spots Asuka as he runs over to see her curled up. He moves her shoulder seeing she's passed out as he picks her up like a princess. "I got you Asuka." He mutters as he leaves the scene with her.
***
The sun rises as Asuka groans a bit, shifting in a bed as a sudden pat was felt on her head. This head pat woke her up a bit as she looked up, seeing Ayameko standing over her with her arms crossed and dressed rather casually.
"Wake up sleeping beauty. You okay or not, if you are, get the fuck out of my bed…"
Her glaring eyes made Asuka sit up awake as she looked around at her room, it was clearly significantly darker than any room she'd been in. The windows were blocked out with the curtain and nailed up by two layers of foam. A small and thin black layer absorbed heat and light while a thicker dark gray foam was only above the window portion only.
There was little to no light as her ceiling light was unscrewed out with the light bulbs taken out as her light switch had been tinkered with, doing nothing but acting as a fidgeting tool for her. For as dark as her room was, the only light source was her triple monitor setup, a Nodorora Limited Edition Night Lamp, and a desk lamp.
"H-How…"
"Kimura told me. Because of our rules he's not allowed in, so the bastard called me." She sighs.
