Hyunda's words bore heavy weight in the back of my mind.

In order for this plan to work, I would need to form a team of 5 people. I'm assuming I only need to gather 4 more people since I'm included.

Still, I would like to know Hyunda's reasoning for this '5 man team'.

It's scary how Hyunda, the supposed bored guy comes up with this stuff without giving a second thought.

Is this what you call natural?

Man, what the hell.

Bored individuals are to be feared and respected.

I'm starting to believe that this guy has the skills to rule Japan or something.

Am I glorifying him too much?

I am, aren't I?

It can't be helped. Anyone that sits in the back of the class right next to the window has all the flags to become overpowered.

I might be starting to fear his whole existence.

........

Why are eyes so scary?

"Hey."

Perhaps the scariest 'Hey.' I've ever heard in my entire life.

Either way, King George, who was, by the way, staring into my soul, said such words with dead eyes.

"Sorry, I was thinking."

"Oh, okay then. If you were thinking about how to solve the current situation, then that's excusable."

"Sorry, I lied. I was reflecting my inner thoughts about Hyunda's suspicious existence! I will, however, work right away!"

It was time to get working.

First, I needed to gather people that I knew would work with me. I had two people in mind from the get-go. Sagasuga and Tsudo. I'm sure they would agree with me. However, I needed a fourth person... Kan came to my mind, but the dude was nowhere to be found.

He's probably fucking smoking weed in a bush or something. His weed must be his food, I bet.

Unfortunately, this is the limit of my competence. In fact, I am currently only competent because I happened to meet Tsudo and Sagasuga today.

Wait.

Why did I happen to meet them both yesterday?

Hold on. This is really interesting.

I'm about to theory craft this mother down.

Let's suppose that Hyunda, the bored individual just so happened to have foreseen this event and made it so that I would be the key to solving this matter.

What if, assuming that this all works, this was all just part of Hyunda's plan just because he happened to seek entertainment?

Wait. Wouldn't that mean that Kuzan, stealing all the food, earlier, was just a part of his plan?!

Then, what about the meeting today? I feel like it wasn't a pure coincidence, but instead, it was all part of someone's plan. Or was it just a coincidence?

Man, am I overthinking this? I can't get these thoughts out of my head.

I've watched too many animes and have read too many mangas and so, I strongly believe that Hyunda is a main character from an anime/manga incarnated.

Well, I'll think about this later.

For now, I had to re-direct myself towards Sagasuga. It would be way more reasonable to go to him instead of Tsudo. I have not forgotten about his past and how horrifying dangerous he is when provoked, but when he is not in that killer mood of his, he is incredibly reasonable.

Sagasuga went in the direction of the gymnasium. Why though? Isn't it locked? What sense does it make to go there?

After dashing for a grand total of 30 seconds, I arrived at the gymnasium.

As I entered the gymnasium block, also known as block E, I heard two echoing voices.

By the sound of their voices, they were somewhat distant.

I got curious and decided to check what was up. However, I proceeded with caution.

"...Seriously, why do we have to meet up here at 4 am? Couldn't you pick a better moment or time to invite me out?"

"...Sorry... I just wanted to see you so badly."

Huh? Are my ears failing me or something!?

Why am I hearing Sagasuga's voice!?

Why the fuck is my blood boiling?!

"Geez..."

They both stopped talking. Out of instinct, I merely glanced at them from far away.

I then cried.

Make no mistake, these tears were not shed out of sadness nor out of joy.

These were tears of blood.

That fucking traitor!! How dare he betray the code!

No, wait! I haven't issued the code yet! Damn it! I was waiting until we become full-fledged bros for that!

What's more is, the girl he's kissing is Tateyama from our girl!

Damn it, I will not forgive this guy!

Out of spite, I take my leave.

However---

"Sorry Tateyama. I just really wanted to see you. But right now, I need to take care of something first. I promise to make it up to you later."

I decided to stay.

It can't be helped.

"Why? What's something that's more important than me?"

This is bad. Is Sagasuga a man enough to tell her the truth?

"The truth is, the male dorm's supervisor begged me on his knees for something. Only I could do it!"

Fucking beta.

"W-What is it? What is the one thing you could only do!?"

"You seeeeee. He can't sleep at night unless I watch over the dorm for him. So, I have to watch the dorm for him while he sleeps. I am sacrificing my own sleep to watch over the dorm. Everyone is a lost cause who is always making noise, even after midnight. I'm sorry..."

My guy, you have a lot of fucking nerve. I will remember those words. Even if I have to cut myself while writing a full essay all over my damn body!

However, losing sight of my original goal would be crucial right now. The fact stands, I need his help.

After breaking ways with Tateyana, whose long dark blue hair shone through the moonlight, I was free to make my move.

Although I had to wait like a few seconds in order to come out from hiding, it was time.

"Yo, man! You found him yet?!"

"H-Huh!? Daniel? Man, what a coincidence! N-Nah, not at all."

Coincidence my ass, you bloomer. Oh no. Such a sad life! To have a girlfriend already one week in. Seeing your sight makes me want to slash my own wrists right now, I swear.

"Listen, I know where he is at!"

"What!? Where?"

"The girls' dorm, actually."

"Wait, are you serious? What makes you think that?"

"Hyunda said the following: 'Daniel, you alone stand no chance of infiltrating the girls' dorm. However, I want you, to create a team of 5 people who are down to this.'"

"That does not explain why we should suspect the girls' dorm in the first place."

Oi, you fucking white knight, stop protecting your girlfriend.

"Hyunda additionally said Kuzan does not have anywhere else to go other than the girls' dorm. Plus, it would be a good idea to infiltrate the girls' dorms since all the girls are sleeping right now. I hate to admit but, Kuzan is a bit smart for a rat."

"That's still just an assumption. There is no guarantee that he is in the girls' dorm."

I'm sorry, I just can't. No more.

"Boi, are you fucking serious now? Of course, there is no evidence! We have to play guess to find this fucking rat or else we ain't getting breakfast in the morning and most certainly, not later on when the dinner comes! Oh fucking right, it won't come because we won't have food to eat! Man up and agree with me!"

I might've partially forgotten the fact that this guy, who I'm lashing my rage at right now, has killed more than 1 person. I even used the 'boi' word. That just goes to show how serious I am.

"Alright! I get it... I'm with you. Can't stand another damn morning without food..."

Eventually, the white knight drops his bullshit and mans up.

It must be hard when you're literally swimming in pussy that you forgot your own damn brothers who are suffering in hell while you're not!

"Now, we have to get another 3 people to team up."

"Just what exactly is the plan!?"

I did give some thought about this on the way here.

"First of all, we should explore the parameter. Furthermore, we should not make noise, at all."

"Bro, they have vigilance cameras, this plan is utter shit."

"I fucking know it is! But it can't be helped! We don't have an option! We're at that rat's existence's mercy!"

My bloodlust for Kuzan is tremendous as we speak.

"Plan aside, how do you plan to gather 3 more people?"

"Tsudo should accept this. I was thinking about adding in Akihiko. But what about the last?"

"What about Hyunda though? He's the one who came up with the infiltration idea."

"No, he can't. He made sure to check other areas where he thought that Kuzan might be hiding. In other words, he is making sure that there aren't any flaws here."

"How come he is so reliable yet unreliable? It's weird. I can't really decipher his character."

If you come across this story on Amazon, it's taken without permission from the author. Report it.

I see that Sagasuga also shares the same thoughts as me.

Coincidentally, we met up with Tsudo. Without wasting time, I informed him.

"Broooooooo. Infiltrating the girls' dorm!? Are you nuts!? I'm fucking in."

Somehow, I expected this exact reply.

However, I really believe that it will not go as he expects.

For instance, instead of 'Kyaas' we will most likely get knives in our abdomens.

"Tsudo, I need 2 more people to infiltrate the girls' dorm. Who do you think would be the best suggestion here?"

"If this is a team, then Akihiko for sure. I mean, the dude literally proposed teams. It wouldn't make any sense for him to refuse."

I'm glad for his assistance. However, the real problem has arrived.

"What about the fifth though?"

......

I decided to hold my breath on that.

Firstly, why 5 people, Hyunda?

I could not possibly understand his reasoning.

Is his logic beyond human comprehension!? Is he a god masked in human disguise!?

I-It can't be...

"Wait, why don't we get George to do it?"

Sagasuga asked a question that had a reply so obvious that both Tsudo and I remained silent.

Eventually, Sagasuga realized the stupidity in his own question and retried.

"Okay so... Rayazaki?"

Hearing that proposing, we three, simultaneously gazed at the radiant yellow moon.

I have no problem with Rayazaki. Except for one thing. Just a little thing.

He has a god complex.

Now... How do you convince someone with a god complex to join your team?

"I'm down to try. I thought about something that might just work."

Confidently, I delivered my opinion.

"Let's hope it works. Also, I saw Rayazaki heading towards the football stadium. On the other hand, Akihiko headed towards the main gate."

I see. It indeed makes sense to head towards the main gate. By jumping the gate, all he has to do is hold out a few hours and he will be free.

Also, this makes it easier.

"Sagasuga, Tsudo, please leave Rayazaki to me."

"Aight. Where do we meet up?"

"In front of the girls' dorm. I might be a bit late, but I will be there."

"Oki. Well then. Godspeed."

Says Sagasuga as we depart ways.

I was oddly confident. But it was for one reason.

This wasn't my first time dealing with someone who had a god complex.

Football Stadium.

I thought that much. As I arrived at the stadium, I already knew that there was no way that Rayazaki was here to search for Kuzan. In fact, he couldn't care less about Kuzan.

Although he doesn't show this behavior, I know he possesses it. The behavior of someone who only dominates.

It was useless to search for him. He is nowhere to be seen among the long green grass that covers the whole field. Not even the lights are up. It feels as if I'm blind.

Think.

Where could he be?

If he's not here, then could he be in the locker rooms?

Regardless of the distance, I walked to see it.

To only take and never to give. I wonder what's his creed.

The male locker room had the door all destroyed.

It's not hard to imagine yet with a kick of decent potency backed up with physical force, breaking through this door wouldn't be a pipe dream. Ultimately, it's very much possible.

As I walked in, my footsteps' sound grew higher.

By the time I am in front of him, he should have noticed that someone was here.

I have to say, his position is the mixture of arrogance and calamity.

He stands on his seat with his closed fist right on his right cheek. He was doing a thinker's pose, without a doubt.

I wanted to start the conversation, but it seems that even then, he was still ahead.

"Get out."

"No."

"Why not?"

"I need a favor from you. That's why."

"Go and ask someone else. There are other people who can do that favor for you. Leave."

He's certainly not wrong.

But-

"Hey."

"What?"

"Fight me."

"..."

He is shocked. However, he is no demonstrating an attitude of such. He is calmly analyzing the situation.

"I will kill you. You know that, right?"

"You can't kill me. I am better than you at this."

"...Fuck off, you piece of shit. Don't make me lose my mood..."

It seems that this wasn't enough. I had to go deeper.

If he reacts to this, then it will most likely happen in a flash.

"Damn, I didn't know you were arrested for being a pussy. How does it fe-"

Leaping straight away from his seat, he launches a crushing fist straight at me.

I have to dodge this though. If this hits me, then I will most likely be in a state of confusion.

By dodging to my right, I avoid the direct confrontation, however---

"It doesn't end there."

"Kuh--"

This time, I could not dodge his attack. I, therefore, fended it instead. Not exactly the same as dodging but it holds a similar purpose.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!! What's wrong, huh!?"

Unfortunately, I was in a position where I could only fend his attacks by reacting supremely fast to his attacks.

I am under the impression that he went through some sort of martial arts training regime.

I say this because, usually, after someone strikes you, they create openings which then permits counterattacks. However, this guy did not stop.

Not for once, did he create a rupture in his stance. If I recall correctly, that's a Krav Maga stance.

It's not hard for someone who knows Krav Maga to kill someone. As a matter of fact, it is by all means, easy.

I have to break away from this loop though. His physical resistance could very well match mine but I can't continue this forever.

I must make progress before it's too late.

It seems that I have to apply the necessary measures to end this fight.

"Come on! You're making this boring! What's wrong!?"

"Sorry about that. Now, it's my turn, right?"

Although I said that, this isn't a scene where I suddenly turn around this whole fight.

My plan was to make sure that he suffers a penalty from that stance.

That stance has a major weakness. Once it goes forward, it cannot retract.

This stance fits a fighter like him. An impulsive radical individual like Rayazaki was truly fit for this stance.

Nonetheless, it ends here.

I'm prepared to get hurt a little, but it will most likely hurt like hell.

Finally, the preparations were all set. With a wall on my back, he will for sure take this bait and attack me.

In the past 2 minutes as our fight prolonged, we were only fighting in an open space. I could freely dodge and rotate thanks to that.

That applies to this scenario no more.

I am locked.

Without a way out.

"Kah---!!"

I receive his brutal punch right in my face.

With that said, it was finally created.

That's right, an opening could be seen.

As soon as I received the punch, his whole right shoulder and forearm were completely exposed.

This would not have worked if I hadn't received the attack. By receiving the attack, I allowed myself to get pierced by it.

Ultimately, I took a grab on his shoulder and immediately reversed our positions.

Right now, Rayazaki was against the wall with his shoulder under my total control.

Alas, I seemed to have turned the tides.

Now then, let's get to work.

"I will break your shoulder if you don't do me the favor I want to do."

When confronting someone with a god complex, most people would think that going along with their wishes is one way to solve it. However, that's wrong. That's not solving at all, that's delaying it. The correct measure to apply is to completely defeat someone with a god complex in their domain.

Even so, that's only the primary step. They always believe that there is a second chance to make things up.

"Break it! I don't fucking care! Heh... I bet you're confident as fuck right now. Think you won? Well, think again. I will hunt you down, moron. Can you truly be safe? You can't. You will never know when I will attack again. What if I attack you in your sleep huh?! What then? While you're taking a shit! In the middle of a crowd! There are infinite possibilities, you are so screwwwwwwweeeeeeeeeeeed!!"

"Attack again? Don't worry..."

Rapidly asserting my main point, I pushed my lips close to his right ear.

"There won't be another time."

Crack.

"Gahhhhhhhhh!!!----"

"But, that's not enough, right? You have an untamable spirit. You will strike back regardless, right? But, you need your whole body to counterattack, right? So, I'm going to break all of it."

The second step is to make them conscious about the consequences that are to be followed. They never care about the consequences, they just want the aftermath.

"How about both of your legs? You won't be able to walk. Hey. Imagine, you, crawling on the ground, asking for help. Hahaha, man that's fucking hilarious. Don't you think so? Hey, you do, right?"

"Kuhhh... Let me go..."

"Hm? Can't hear you."

"I said let me go, you bitch!"

Still acting spiteful, huh?

"Have you ever tasted blood in your mouth for a very long period of time? It tastes like iron and it just sucks so much. However, I do believe in opinions. Tell me yours, please."

Krawk.

"Uhmm!!!---"

And I broke his jaw.

However, I didn't break it to the point where he couldn't talk. I just alerted him of my true intentions.

That I would do anything to get his favor.

"What do you want?"

His eyes show no spirit. They are completely dead.

The third and final step is to completely shatter their spirit.

There is no such thing as an untamable spirit in the face of stronger adversity. I simply said that earlier to provoke him even further.

Therefore, I've won.

"I need your assistance. This is regarding Kuzan. Do you have any idea where he might be?"

Might as well ask.

"No way he isn't hidden in the girls' dorm."

He probably shares a reasoning similar to Hyunda's.

"I think so too. Either way, what I want you to help me with is, infiltrating the girls' dorm. It's 5 am right now. This is urgent. If we don't get the food back then we won't be able to eat by the morning."

"Shit... That's bad... Alright..."

"Great. Here, need a hand?"

"Don't fucking wanna. I can walk just fine."

"I see."

"Also, what the fuck man. Why didn't you just ask me that you needed help to infiltrate the girls' dorm straight up? You literally broke my shoulder and jaw over such a trifling matter! What the fuck!"

I was also screaming inside.

Girls' dorm entrance.

"My God, what in the fuck happened?"

"Don't ask."

Perhaps he was still salty over the fact that he lost but Rayazaki couldn't help but rebook Akihiko's aggressive question.

Seeing Akihiko on their side confirmed that Tsudo and Sagasuga were successful with their persuasion. Or maybe there was simply no persuasion at all. After all, Akihiko probably just said 'Yes!' straight up.

Just as I was about to question the location of his existence, the man in my mind appears unraveled in the darkness of the night.

"Hyunda, how was it? Did you find him?"

"I'm afraid not. I checked every possible space that he might be hiding but didn't find anything. The rest is up to you guys. Also, good work Daniel. Assembling a team like that should give you an upper edge while looking for him."

"Wait, man. Why don't you come with us? Wouldn't that make it easier?"

"I know this might sound crazy but imagine the following scenario: I go along with you guys and attempt to find Kuzan. Then, randomly out of nowhere, Ikkiri just so happens to be awake. What would her reaction be when she sees me?"

It's not hard to imagine but to think that he was already that far ahead. As I thought this guy...

"Yeah, she would go nuts over you. Does she have a crush on you?"

"Haha, no way, no way. She just wants someone to talk to."

I also then realized something.

Hyunda just roasted us.

Midst such realization, Rayazaki, Tsudo, Akihiko and Sagasuga couldn't realize it!

Damn it!

Hyunda basically just said that a girl would go crazy over him because she wanted to talk to him and that no girl would go crazy for us because none of the girls would go crazy for us!

"Also, Sagasuga. Be careful to not encounter any familiar faces. Avoid causing a ruckus at all costs."

"Um, okay?"

Pretending he doesn't know what Hyunda is talking about, Sagasuga shrugs it off.

Could it be that Hyunda knows about the fact that Sagasuga and Tateyana have hooked in secret?

What the fuck, how!?

Am I misunderstanding something here?

Why would Hyunda say those words especially to Sagasuga and not, for example, me, who has a 1000 years to fulfill in jail?

"Well, I'm off. I'll try to enjoy my 3 hours of sleep if possible. I've told everyone that the problem has been solved. Even King George is sleeping as we speak. Good luck, my guys!"

"My guys my ass!! Hyunda, you bastard, you're just passing us the torch of responsibility!! Man the fuck up and come with us right now! If that annoying bitch dares to appear I will knock her out to the motherfucking ninth realm!"

"Rayazaki, you've misunderstood my intention. My true intention is that I've put extreme faith in you guys. I know that you can do it. You have no way to fail this, right? If not you, then who? The people who are sleeping right now? Most certainly not, right? Get this, the boys that are already sleeping are expecting a warm breakfast to eat in the morning. You wouldn't ruin everyone's expectations out of spite, would you?"

"You manipulating trickster! I am not your toy, you damned..."

For a second, Rayazaki then stopped and reflected on something.

Then, he slowly began to form an extremely smug expression.

"Oh... That's right... No one but me huh... Can't be helped! What would you all be without me, the supreme being! Onwards, lads!"

Who uses the word 'lads' at 5 am...

By the way, Hyunda was already gone. It's official, this guy is either coincidentally making this easier for all of us or we are simply puppets to him.

Furthermore, Hyunda just tossed all the responsibility back to us. He made sure that we could not leave that dorm with an L on our foreheads. Instead, we had to come out with a W in our foreheads.

This scenario is making me flustered.

My sleep was shit. I want to eat. And for some reason...

I really want to have revenge against that bitch.

Against her will, I still had to do something malicious to the point where she would regret mocking me.

I really want to drop a bucket of cold water on her while she sleeps, but priorities are priorities.

In conclusion, we had to make this work. Therefore, we needed to make sure that we cannot fail no matter what.

And for that to happen, the words I am about to say must represent justice and law within my brethren.

Out of necessity, I took a step back and asserted some distance.

"D-Daniel? What are you doing?"

Akihiko, out of curiosity asks. Not to worry. You are about to find out.

"Men! Listen up and listen up well! Life is difficult! Although we were created by chance, our purpose and motivation throughout life are not by chance! It is created by our own wills which were given birth due to our powerful intersections with the outside and inside world that we live in!"

"The fuck? Did he turn philosopher or something?"

"Right now, we are on a mission! To secure our food, we must capture and then torture the living fucking shit out of a rat that goes by the name of Kuzan Takeshi!"

"Ohh!! That's more like it, Daniel! Nice, keep it going!"

Rayazaki's bursts of excitement aside, I needed to lay it out.

"In order to achieve such, we have to infiltrate this cursed fortress also known as girls' dorm! While our main reason for doing so will be to collect a certain's individual's body, we must not forget! Our enemies are not distant! In fact, they will fight us! Should we encounter them!"

"Hehehe, but think about it. You get to sneak a peek at the girls in her sleep. Hey, I wonder if Mayabashi sleeps with her pajama on? Can you imagine seeing those Himalayas exposed!?"

"Yoooooo, you're speaking some true shit, Tsudo."

"For real, for real. Just imagining it is making me droll.

"Huh?"

While Rayazaki's confusion was both comprehensible and not comprehensible, I would like to smack Sagasuga for saying such erotic comments when he already has a damn girlfriend!!

No!!

I must not get swayed.

They are fools.

They no nothing about the truth!

"You damn fools! There is no time such childish activities! We will act on the premise of peace! However! Should any member from the opposite gender fight back, you must fight back! Any man who refuses to lay a hand on a girl just because she is a girl is naive! We fight for multiple purposes! One of them being, gender equality! No, we will not highlight our gender yet we will not allow them to highlight theirs! Punch their boobs! Kick their bosoms! Knee her vaginas! Do anything you must do to fight back! That which is in the back of your mind which is considering an evil-doing must be applied! Are we fucking clear!?

"I have no idea why but my body is telling me, no, but my mind, my mind is telling me yes!"

"You just earned a severe portion of my respect. Onwards with the thot-slaying."

I didn't mean that there would be any thots but Rayazaki seems oddly motivated now. The only problem was those two. In the odd chance that their thoughts are conflicted, I gazed at them.

Then, Tsudo, comes over in my direction and raises his arm up, as if to make a treatment. He then shouts:

"For gender equality!"

"For gender equality!"

I lift my arm up as well.

Now...

"Sorry, I can't really agree with you on this... Sure, I can take them on but I will not brutalize them."

I was not in the mood for another speech since it was almost 5:30 am. It really drains my soul to do this but I had no other option.

I need to reform this pussy.

"Sagasuga, come closer, I need to tell you a secret."

"Hm? What now?"

Putting a devilish grin that took quick resemblance to Basara-sensei's devilish grin, I murmur to his ear.

"You and Tateyana, when did it start?"

"We shall march forward for a brighter tomorrow! Eliminate anything that comes your way. Bring me Kuzan's head!"

I'm surprised that he got what I said immediately.
