The Academy Zone

Surrender!

How long has it been? It feels like a long time. My hands parried his fists, and my feet held back the movement of his foot attacks. His stamina is very strong. I wouldn't have been able to survive if it wasn't for my agility and skillful positioning, where I was outside his optimal attack spot.

Didn't Ares say he wouldn't attack me?

It's nonsense.

I pushed myself too much. It's been a long time since I last fought in extra mode.

It's really annoying, thrilling, fun too.

I grinned widely, our eyes meeting each other.

“Fucking Mad Dog..!! ha. ha..” I said softly, almost like a whisper. My breath is getting stifled.

I could see his sweat, and was tired in the look in his eyes. Just like I felt. But he also grinned broadly.

As if we were, enjoying it..

“Ha.. ha.. Really, beautiful... and fascinating, you know?”

Degs..

I immediately retreated and dodged.

I was fooled and lost my balance. Good I can step back soon.

Huh uh?? I just realized, has he stopped attacking now?

Our breath roared at each other. But it seems Ares still has stamina left. And I'm on the edge of the horn. He fought King and Kings Killer. Actually, how good is his skill?

Should I give up?

“I give up.”

“What..?” I looked up, seeing Ares raising both hands. Are my ears broken? Shouldn't I be the one giving up?

“I give up..” said Ares again, in between his breath.

I'm staring. Obviously he will win if he continues. But he gave up? Well, that's good for me in every way. I'm tired, my body hurts, and it's also good for my reputation.

All right then.

I backed off and approached Feli. This way, the problem is solved, right?

“Feli, please contact ACC and have them help the injured students. Please bring the academy-provided emergency change of clothes and bruising medicine to the kings killer boardroom. Instruct all students back to class and wait for return.” I said giving directions while picking up the skirt and wearing it to wipe off the sweat.

My special kings killer suit just sling. I stared at the other Kings Killer members, including the male members who had just been fighting. They're not much hurt.

"Sorry to get you guys hit by my problems. You can help with the rest, right?" ask me. After all, they will still get ACC treatment, or Academy Care Center.

"Okey itts." The Major replied casually.

"This is the consequence." Jero.

The others just nodded. They are too lazy to respond because they are tired.

“Ha... once I say give up, you just ignore me? So cruel..” said Ares later.

I'm staring.

“Follow me..” answer me briefly. People are still gathering to see us.

“Give way and quickly disperse!!” I cried out with the rest of my energy.

The students who were still enthusiastic and excited also stepped aside to give way. I passed by while looking back for a moment, making sure Ares was following me. We headed to the Kings Killer room together. Another injured child was taken to the ACC, and other king and king killer members were busy taking care of the rest.

I closed the meeting room door, then lay down on the sofa.

“Haah.. Sit anywhere, or you can also collapse for a while.” Say me, sit on the couch and lean back, tired.

“You really are. very highly exceed my expectations.” Ares said with a grin, sitting on the sofa opposite. He took off his top clothes.

It's just the two of us now. You fucking asshole. He took off his clothes? Where is his attitude.

Ugh. forget it, I'm not interested. Ignore.

“Why did you give up?” ask me then, break the silence.

“Many reasons. First, I broke a promise. Not holding back and instead getting obsessed with knowing and scraping away your abilities.”

Obsessing? My ability? Is he a psychopath?

“Both, i.. Forget it, the point is that's it.”

Chequek.. Feli came in, brought a P3K box, a plastic bag filled with ice, and a t-shirt belonging to the school inventory and handed it to me.

“Thanks. Please take care and monitor the injured children.” My speech.

“Alright..” the answer is short. Feli came out of the room.

I watched him for a moment, then refocused on the mad dog in front of me. My hand started to move open the P3K box, took out the bruised medicine, then stood up, approaching the Demon King.

“You must have been hurt, right? Treat it later at home. Now use this ice first to cool.”

“Why don't you just treat me now?” The Demon King revealed a clear face.

Ck, he's just been fighting!

“Your body is still full of sweat. It's good to apply the medicine after the shower. Now, wear this shirt first.” I give you a T-shirt belonging to the inventory.

“How about you? You must also be injured and very sweaty.”

“Tak what.. To be honest, I'm even grateful. This will be a memorable moment for me. In this country, only school academies allow fights. Restricted, but where there is a school that is this brutal. Surprisingly, many are interested in school here from all over the country.

You know why? Because it's a fun place with quality guaranteed graduates. And also, this might be the only school that doesn't care about reputation. There is no doubt at all if you have to do the DO. And here, it is commonplace if there are students who do not graduate. Ah, forget..!!”

I just realized that I had been blabbing unnecessarily at length. And again, Ares only heard and noticed.

“Better, prepare yourself for tomorrow's board session.” I said finally, changing the topic.

“HAH?? Si.. council? Not that you said it would make it easier..

“MSP!!" cut me.

"Is that not a sure thing?. Cases of fights, theft, bullying, destruction of property, blurring, it will only be handled by King or Kings killer. But, interrupting class lesson hours includes gross misconduct. Can reduce points for class or graduation. And you just interrupted the school's one-hour lesson.

There is no way that there will be a council meeting!! You know this is the academy, right? The problem this time is the same as search die.”

“Haha.. then what does the best solution mean?? You promised to help me too. You said so before."

Ares looked at me with a little frustration. It seems he just realized the consequences of his actions. But, he seemed quite calm. If from his personality, it seems like DO is not something he is very afraid of.

I looked at him, sighing.

“Em, I mean settlement between 'us'.

If you refuse, we will become enemies and I will make sure you get as much punishment as possible in the council. But, since you accepted my offer, we can be friends. I'm being kind won't trouble you tomorrow.” Reply relax.

“Haha. once devious. You mean you won't help?” Ares said, raising one eyebrow.

Really thorough. It's not hard to say that I'll help.

“H.. At least I'll help you not in DO.

Uh. By the way, did you not have much heart to do something like this when you were in a relationship with 2 women?”

“Ah, dammit. That's not the context now. Anyway, of course now I've broken up.”

“Now? Really... You must have just decided on them right?

When did you break up? Just now??

Ck.. Where might I want to date a person who. obviously.. will only play tricks on me.” I stand, other children seem to have gone home. The atmosphere is deserted. I'm going home too.

“You still think I'm messing around after something this big? Well, I don't know.. I think it's the first time I've done something this serious.” said Ares, smiling wryly

Uh..

E.hems. O.blank. It's just bullshit..

Haa. I sighed. Shit, I unconsciously flinch speechless instead. Been already. Really, he's so smart to get me cornered. I feel a little guilty.

Chequek.. I left Ares, it's time to go home. My body hurts, I'm tired and I still have to think about the council tomorrow. I walked down the corridor to my class, my bag there.

But why, am I smiling??

I haven't fought like this in a long time.. Ah, yes, fighting is fun. I must be smiling because of that, right?

Again I took a long breath.

Eh. by the way.how many times have I sighed?!

...***...

(POV Address)

I enjoyed this short time while looking at him. Enjoying shitty chat in a kings killer room. Enjoying her uncaring yet somehow adorable attitude.

But, I felt like maybe I should give up on going out with her. He's so staunch.

Unfortunately, she was an unexpected girl..

“You must have been hurt, right? Treat it later at home. Now use this ice first to cool.” Her speech.

He gave me medicine. Just once looked at me. This one school knows I'm the strongest student. So, they're not very sensitive to the wounds I've received. Seeing the condition of the people I beat up, it was only natural that they would ignore me a little.

I wasn't hurt much anyway. I didn't lose even against the king or the kings killer. Against too.

“Why don't you just treat me now?” I said, still wanting to tease her.

“Your body is still full of sweat. It is better to apply the medicine later after bathing. Now, just wear these shirts.”

Did she not realize that her body was soaking wet with sweat more than me?

“How about you? You must have been hurt too. You were also very sweaty.”

“Tak what.. Well, I'm even grateful. This will be a memorable moment for me. In this country, only academies allow fights. Restricted anyway, but. bla bla..”

I looked at him who looked enthusiastic. Though he is a person who is called a loner and dark.

I became more interested. Don't blame me. Your own fault caught my attention.

That's why, I don't know myself.

“Yah, I don't know.. But I think it's the first time I've done something this serious.”.

I mean, I seriously want to play with you.

Must be pretty cool, right?

Because it's you.

And so again I was ignored, and he just left.

At that time, I thought my problem would be solved just like that. Either with DO or move schools. And the story of my life with this girl will end here.

I didn't expect at all. As it turned out, this curiosity and interest in the unimportant you, led me to more interesting and unexpected things. Fun things at once sucks. And also, heartwarming and stifling things.

Until maybe, I was one of the antagonists in your life story.
