(1st Person POV)
"Stephen, stop checking me repeatedly. I told you that I was fine. Nothing happened to me."
I stood in a T-pose to show him that I was fine and did not get injured in yesterday's incident.
He looked at me and said with worry," We should have gone with you. What would have happened if he brought many people with him? How will you be able to fight against that many people?"
I smirked at him and said in a careless tone, " Even if that fool came with 20 people, I would be able to easily fight all of them."
I saw Gray coming towards us without any hurry.
"Hi Gray, you don't wanna ask if I am all right or not?"
He shook his head and said, " I knew you would be all right. Colton won't have the contacts or influence to call many people or really strong people."
"That's all right but Felix sent him to a hospital. Isn't that a bit too cruel?", Stephen said in an apprehensive tone.
"Of course not, Stephen. I didn't hit him to a level that he would have to go to the hospital. He is just overreacting. I twisted his fingers for a bit to make sure he didn't step out of his line again.", I reassured him
Then, he released a sigh after knowing that I was all right and the situation was over.
------------------
I entered the class and suddenly a chatter started between other students and nearly every single conversation was about me.
"What, is he the guy who sent Colton to the hospital? The oh-so-brutal one? The person who destroyed a gangster in one punch?"
I settled on my seat and ignored the other students.
Right then, a person wearing a black mask enters as he said," Everybody, shut up."
Stolen from its rightful place, this narrative is not meant to be on Amazon; report any sightings.
He looked at me as one of his goons brought a chair in front of him. He sat on it in what I assume was meant to be an intimidating pose.
He said while pointing his finger at me, "You".
"Yes? Is this meant to be some sort of Russian Gangster play?"
"The rumours say you beat up Royce Na and Eddie Moore in a single punch and sent Colton Choi to the hospital. That true?"
"What if it's true? You one of their friends who have come to avenge them or something?"
"Hah, I could care less about that idiot Colton. But one of the others you beat is my, Royce, is my cousin. I will just accept your apology and leave it at that. You should know who I am..."
I turned towards Stephen and said with sarcasm oozing from my voice," Hey, Stephen. Do we know some person with pathetic spiked hair and a stupid mask? I can't seem to remember someone like that. If I can't remember him, then he is surely some kind of dumbass totally below me to notice. Isn't that right?"
Stephen chuckled a bit at my blatant insult.
After my response, I could see veins bursting on the masked guy's forehead, " Why you fu-"
"Bwahahaha. Hahahaha", A red-haired guy who seemingly came out of nowhere laughed at my joke.
At least some people in this school have a good sense of humour.
He said while grabbing the shoulder of the masked guy," Imdo Middle School is the weakest out there. No one cares about your status there. I told you to lose that stupid look too, dumbass."
Then, he said with a bit of a threat laced in his voice," And I also told you that I would kill you if you act like you are all that, around here. So, stop trying to act tough with that raggedy mask on in someone's class and go back on your own."
He glared behind at the masked guy's lackeys and said, "And you extras in the back. Get the fuck out."
Then, he moved his hand to the back of his head and said with a slight bow," Oh, sorry for making a scene."
At least, it seemed like a genuine apology.
He left while carrying the masked guy in his hand and said," Now, get back to studying everyone !!!"
'Hmmm...He seems like a strong person in this school. I should know who he is.'
I looked at Gray's seat partner who seemed to recognise both of the people. He could help me tell who that guy is.
"Hey, what is your name?"
He trembled in fear and said with a scared look," E-Eugene G-Gale".
"Ok, so Eugene. Who was that masked guy and the red-haired guy that came here just now ?"
"W-What you don't know Ben Park and Phillip Kim? Ben Park is the red-haired person and is the strongest in this school. P-Phillip Kim is the person with a mask who conquered Imdo Middle School before coming here."
'Hmm...So that's the reason why Phillip Kim was like a docile animal in front of Ben Park. I wonder how will I fare against Ben Park.' I thought with a smile on my face.
"Hey, what is Ben Park known for in terms of fighting?", I asked him again.
"B-Ben Park is known for his strength and brutal punches. He is also resilient to hits and can shake off most of the hits. That's why he is really strong."
'Ah, so if we fight. It will be like Power against Speed. I hope I get a chance soon to fight him.'
Stephen beside me sighed and said," Felix, I won't stop you if you want to fight but just don't let your battle-maniac tendencies out every time at the mention of a fight."
I gape at him and said, "Stephen, how can you say this to me? You wound me. How do you even know that I am planning to fight?"
"I can just see excitement and giddiness radiating from your face."

(Phillip Kim POV)
"Ben, that fu**ing clown. Making me look stupid in front of everyone."
'Damn, if I ever fight against that meathead, I think the results will be pretty obvious. I will get you someday, you fucker'
I go through my contact list and see many different names...
Nathan Kim...
Trevor Rank...
Geralt Baek...
....
Donald Na...
"Nah, this one's a little too intimidating. A hard pass"
.....
Jimmy Bae
"All right, this one. He's got bad blood with Ben too. Fucking Perfect."
'Time to unleash the big hound named Jimmy on that Ben'
I heard him, "What do you want, Phillip?".
"You know I was admitted to Eunjang High, right? And that Ben Park's here too."
"And?"
"Apparently, Ben is scheming to crush you."
"What? What kind of fucking nonsense is that?"
