123 Lesson learnt

With a newfound hope, Masao loosened his body a little and sat down. But even with his newfound hope, his body was still shaking. His body was telling him to flee from the scene.

Afterall human beings are creature of habits. And the fear of getting beaten and traumatized by Masato and his underlings had already been ingrained deep within Masao’s core. Thus, he was still preparing to run away if anything were to happen to him.

Kitsu then lowered his head and spoke meekly, “I’m sorry for hurting you. Please forgive me if you can.”

Hearing Kitsu’s apology, Masao startlingly rose from his seat. His apology was totally out of his expectations and thus, he was surprised to hear such words coming out from the mouth of Kitsu.

The other guys too lowered their head and apologized to Masao, “‘Please forgive us Masao. We’ll never bother you again.”‘

As surprised as Masao was, the rest of the students present in the classroom were even more surprised.

Although not many students were present in the classroom since there were still some time left for the beginning of the class, the students present in the class all had the same reaction. They all were surprised.

“Those bullies are apologizing?”

“Am I in some kind of dream?”

Some students present in the classroom started to gossip.

Masao was totally speechless. His mind completely blank, he didn’t know what to do in that kind of situation.

The scene happening infront of him was dreamlike. And thus, he was still having trouble discerning between reality and dream.

Turning his gaze towards Hiro, Masao then asked Hiro to pinch him, “Can you pinch me Hiro?”

Hearing his words, Hiro grinned and replied, “Don’t worry. You’re not in a dream. But if you’re still doubting then I’ll comply with your request.”

Saying such, Hiro pinched him.

“Ouch!!”

“This isn’t a dream. But why are they apologizing to me all of a sudden?” Questioned Masao feeling all confused.

For a while, his fear was suppressed by their apology.

‘Not because of some beating.’ Hiro thought to himself after hearing Masao’s question.

But obviously he couldn’t tell him the truth, so he acted as if he didn’t know anything about it.

“May be god made it’s appearance in their dream and guided them.” Hiro grinned. “So I think you should forgive them.”

Although it was really tough for Masao to do so, since he had been getting bullied by them for years and years. And the scars left from enduring years of pain wouldn’t be healed just because of one single apology afterall.

So, Masao was hesitating to forgive them. Even so, none of them rose their head up and all of them continued to bow their head. Obviously not because they were sincerely remorseful but because of fear. They all feared that they would get beaten again my Hanagaki and the rest if they didn’t acquire his forgiveness.

Masato on the other hand was still hesitating to apologize. Although he too feared the beating, his pride wasn’t letting him apologize to Masao infront of the whole class.

Noticing his hesitation, Hiro decided to trigger him, “Enjoying the performance, Masato?”

“You!!” Gnashing his teeths, Masato was about to say something but he paused all of a sudden as if he remembered something.

Flaring his nose, he stood tall glaring at Hiro with his protruding eyes. Just like an active volcano which was ready to errupt, he looked quite furious. But even so, he suppressed his anger, nonetheless.

Witnessing his face full of anger, Masao retracted his step a little. And Masao’s suppressed fear was starting to rise, once again.

Masato then let out a deep breath and bowed his head. Although he was prideful, he was also scared of getting beaten. Giving in to his fear, Masato then reluctantly apologized to Masao while clenching his fist, “I’m sorry Masao. I promise that I won’t bother you again.” 𝐨𝘃𝗹.

Just like Masato and others who were afraid of Undead Crown gang, Masao too was afraid of facing Masato and his gangs. Thus out of fear, he accepted their apology, “It… It’s alright. I… I… Forgive you guys.”

Hearing Masao’s words, they didn’t stay there for even a second more. Quickly lifting their head, they immediately made their way towards their seat.

While on his way, Masato glared at other kids who were looking at him. As if he was warning them to not speak of the things which they witnessed at that moment to anyone else, he was glaring at them with his furious eyes.

“Quick look away. Or else he might target us instead.” Whispered one of the student while turning his gaze away from Masato.

The other students who were looking at Masato did the same thing as well. Out of fear, they shut their mouth and turned their gaze away from him.

However the same couldn’t be said to Hiro, he was still smiling and looking at the embarrassing state of Masato and his underlings.

“I hope you all have learnt your lesson. Otherwise I’ll have to think of something even more ruthless. So get on a good track and live a good life.” Mumbled Hiro under his breath while staring at Masato and his underlings.

“Gosh!! That was terrifying and surprising at the same time.” Akane mumbled while releasing a short sigh of relief.

Masao on the other hand remained completely silent. His heart was still beating as fast as it was before.

But after that apology, there was a subtle smile on his face. Masao was simply happy to hear from them that they wouldn’t bother him again.

Just then Rin too made his appearance.

Casualty walking towards his seat, he said to Akane, “Can you move away from my seat?”

“Tch-” Akane subtly clicked her tongue and sneered, “I’ll go.”

And before she left, she said to Hiro, “So where should I come to see your match Hiro?”

“Huh??” Hiro was puzzled by her words.

Since he hadn’t paid any attention towards her earlier and had nodded to all her statements, he wasn’t aware that he had nodded to her request of inviting her to his game.

“Ahh… About that” Hiro started to hesitate. He had absolutely no idea on how to tell her that there wasn’t even a match to begin with.

“About that, he must have forgot to mention you but outsiders aren’t allowed.” Noticing Hiro’s hesitation, Rin immediately made an excuse and covered him.

“Did you not tell her about that Hiro?”Rin continued.

“Oh yeah!! I forgot to tell you.” Frowning his brows, Hiro made sorrowful face. “I’m sorry I can’t invite you Akane.”

“It’s alright Hiro. I’ll come to your next match.” Akane smiled and expressed her understanding.

“So now can you excuse me?” Rin asked her to leave.

“Fine! I’m going.” Akane sneered.
