“Yeah, he would go around picking on the weaker students and would extort money from them everyday”

I gritted my teeth and tightly gripped the bags I was holding in anger

“THAT BASTARD! If I had known that, I wouldn't have shown mercy and would've just revealed the whole suicide attempt matter to everyone in class!”

That fucker! Not only did he insult me, he also bullied others. The next time I see him try anything like that again, I'll personally go and slit his hands for him. But this time I'll make sure it's deep enough for it be an actual suicide and not just an attempt

She noticed I was really angry, so she told

”Well there's no use regretting it now and I don't think he'll be showing up to school anytime soon“

She gave a small smile and told

”But the victims must have been so satisfied seeing the person they feared and despised, on the ground like a pig”

I thought it was weird when I saw some of the boys smiling when Takahashi was on my feet but now it all makes sense. They must have been Takahashi's victims. Anyone would be happy seeing the person they despised in such a sorry state

Akatsuki-san stopped walking for some reason when we were in front of a huge black gate that led to a large brick pathway with multiple oval shaped bushes aligned on both sides it. There were also some lamp posts on the sides of the pathway. Other than that I could only see a bunch of trees around the pathway. I couldn't see anything else because it was too dark. It was probably the main entrance of the park

She then went in front of me with her hands behind her back and told

“I learnt 2 important things about you today”

Two things?

“The first thing is that I should never make an enemy of you. If anyone goes against you or hurts your loved ones, you will completely destroy them without even showing a tiny bit of mercy”

She makes it sound like I'm some kind of villain

She then smiled and told

“And the second thing I know about you is that you will always protect and care for anyone on your side. Be it family, friends or even strangers. You will try to help them any way possible. You showed that when you started chasing me for that lady you've never met before and when you risked your life to save mine”

Is that the reason why she told I couldn't be a bad guy when I asked her?

“You're a scary, dangerous and crazy guy but that's only to people who are against you. To people like your family and me your friend, you’re a kind, protective, self sacrificing individual who will do anything to help his loved ones”

She put her hand on her chest and boasted

”I only associate myself with interesting people like you. All the other boring and normal people out there don't stand a chance with me“

She then pointed her finger at me

”Only the scary and dangerous you could've become friend with me. So don't doubt it, but be proud you've managed to become friends with the one and only Akatsuki Rena”

So she accepted me because I wasn't like everyone else but an entirely different person that she was interested in. This is the first time in my life that I've been happy about being different from others. I responded saying

“I'll take this conquest of becoming your friend as one of the biggest achievements in my life”

She nodded her head while smiling proudly

“I'm glad you understand the value of becoming friends with me. Now my bags please”

She reached out her hands for the bags

“But I said I'll carry it till your house”

“But we are at my house”

“Huh?”

I looked around to see if there were any houses nearby but there were none in sight. The only thing I could see was the park and a wall separating the neighbourhood on the other side

“Where? I don't see one. Do you live on the road or something?”

She looked pretty offended

“What?! Are you blind?! Can't you see it when it's right in front of you!”

“But there's only a park here”

She narrowed her eyes and said

“What are you talking about?”

She then pointed towards the park and exclaimed

“That's not a park, that's my family estate! My house is inside of it!”

NANI!!!!!
