Chapter 187 The Sword Hero Shinya.
[Earth…Tokyo Japan
Boys high school dorm].
Shinya's classmates had been bullying him for months, but this time they had chosen to corner him in the alley near his hostel. The high school student kicked Shinya in the stomach, causing him to double over in pain.
Shinya felt a mix of fear and anger, but he knew that fighting back would only make things worse. He tried to stand up straight and ignore the pain, but the bullies continued to taunt him.
"What's wrong, Shinya? Can't handle a little roughhousing?" One of them sneered.
Shinya gritted his teeth and tried to stay calm. He knew that he needed to find a way to get out of this situation, but his mind was blank.
The beating had gone on for what seemed like an eternity until they grew tired of the senseless violence and left Shinya lying on the ground, surrounded by discarded trash.
As the bullies retreated, Shinya gradually regained consciousness and struggled to sit upright. He leaned against the grimy trash can, his body throbbing with pain from the relentless barrage of blows, and his face badly swollen and discolored.
Shinya let out a pained groan as he struggled to stand up again, the throbbing ache in his body reminding him of the beating he just received. "When will this ever end?" He muttered to himself, his frustration clear in his voice. "So what if I kissed your girl, just move on already," He continued to vent.
As he attempted to use the trash can for support again, his hand slipped, causing him to fall face-first onto the ground. He winced in pain and closed his eyes, trying to collect himself.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in front of him. It was a fellow student, wearing the same uniform as him, who had run into the alleyway. The student looked exhausted, as if he had been running for a long time.
"What happened to you? Are you okay?" The student asked, concern etched on his face as he helped Shinya to his feet.The student immediately sat down on the ground, panting as if he had been running for hours.
Shinya's mind raced as he tried to make sense of the situation. "He's from my school?" He thought to himself. He took a deep breath and uttered, "I don't have any money on me. The last one took everything."
The student looked at Shinya with a puzzled expression. "What are you talking about?" he asked.
Before Shinya could reply, a voice echoed from outside the alley. "Quick, look for him!"
Panic set in as Shinya realized he was in trouble. The student quickly kneeled down and covered Shinya's mouth to prevent any noise.
Shinya's heart pounded as he waited for the danger to pass. He wondered who was looking for him and why. As he waited in silence, he hoped that he would make it out of the situation unscathed.
Shinya's eyes widened as he realized the seriousness of the situation. He stayed still and quiet, his heart beating fast in his chest as he heard footsteps getting closer.
The voices grew louder and Shinya could hear the sound of someone kicking a trash can in frustration. The student next to him held his breath and tightened his grip on Shinya's mouth.
After a few tense moments, the footsteps started to fade away, and the voices became distant murmurs.
The student finally let go of Shinya's mouth and helped him stand up. "That was a close one." He said, his voice low.
"Are you okay?!" The student asked Shinya, noticing his bruises and swollen face.
Shinya hesitated before nodding his head weakly. "Yeah, I'm fine. Just a little roughed up," He replied, his voice barely above a whisper.
The student offered a hand to help Shinya stand up. "I'm Inugami. I saw what they did to you, and I'm sorry. Nobody deserves to be treated that way," He said.
Shinya stared at Inugami for a moment, surprised by his kindness. He hesitated for a moment before taking Inugami's hand and standing up.
"Why were you running earlier?" Shinya asked.
"I was running away from some guys… so speaking of running, I have to go." Inugami said, before taking to his heels and running out of the alley.
Shinya let out a deep sigh as he retrieved his backpack from the trash can and began walking back to his hotel. It had been a long day, and he was exhausted.
As he walked, he spotted Inugami again. He was talking to a woman who was wearing a stunning white dress that caught Shinya's attention. He paused for a moment, curious to know what was going on.
Shinya observed the conversation, and at some point, the woman began crying. He wondered if she was Inugami's girlfriend or if something else was going on.
Shinya watched as Inugami walked into the hostel, leaving the woman alone outside. He hesitated for a moment, contemplating whether or not to check on her. In the end, he decided to continue following Inugami to see where he lived.
Shinya trailed Inugami, careful not to attract attention. To his surprise, Inugami's room was just one door down from his own. Once Inugami entered his room, Shinya stood outside the door, contemplating what to do next.
In a moment of impulsivity, Shinya decided to peek through the keyhole to see what was happening inside. He took a deep breath and peered through the hole.
The passage was empty and no one seemed up be around, what amazed Shinya even more was the fact that, Inugami's apartment was only two room away from his.
But throughout his years of leaving in the school dorm, he had never laid eyes on Inugami, or maybe he did but was to carefree to notice.
Either way, at that moment, Shinya, felt drawn to what ever Inugami was up to and wanted to know more, but little did he know about the event that was about to happen.
