• Thank you for waiting. Here is your order.

• Thank you very much.

I find myself in the central plaza, carrying a tray of food with two hamburgers and two glasses of pember-coke to the table where Siri is sitting.

• Here is the food. Now let's take a bite.

With that said, we began to devour our burgers with gusto. The burger is well cooked and juicy, has just the right amount of salt and despite its size, you don't feel like you're going to fill up on just one. No wonder this little stall was so popular.

While thinking about that, Siri was eating while staring at me as if trying to guess what I was thinking. So, with some curiosity, I start a conversation with her.

• What's wrong? Is your hamburger not good? If you want, I'll exchange mine for yours, even though it's the same hamburger.

• Siri: It's not that. I'm worried about you.

• Worried about me? Do you think I will go crazy and start beating up all the students tomorrow?

• Siri: Yes.

• Wow, you are direct... but don't think that. I still don't have enough power to do whatever I want.

• Siri: And if you get it, will you start hitting everyone who bothers you?

• Well, why do I have to put up with people who treat me badly? Frankly, it's stupid.

• Siri: But then you would be the enemy of almost everyone.

• So what?

• Siri: So what?! Then you wouldn't have anyone on your side.

• As long as I have a love of my life, why should I care about the rest of the world?

• Siri: And do you have it?

• Nope.

• Siri: ...

• What can I say? I have bad luck finding the love of my life.

• Siri: ... and once you find her, what will you do?

• I will stay with her and travel all over AETHER. Still, before that, I will become the strongest adventurer and Kawaii the strongest pet.

• Siri: Is that all?

• Well, what did you expect? That he would try to conquer the world? It's not like Pinky and the Brain.

• Siri: Why do you want to beat the students in class 2B? I know they did wrong, but don't you think it's a little extreme to hit them?

• Let me tell you a story: A long time ago, in an ordinary school, there was a quiet boy who didn't bother anyone, but the others bothered him just because they wanted to, the boy didn't say anything to them because he thought the teachers would help him, but they didn't pay attention.

• Siri: ...

• One day, while the boy was walking, his "classmates", if you can call them that, tripped him. He broke his nose, so he went to the infirmary and then to the teacher's office to ask for help with the mistreatment he was receiving. When they called the students who made him fall, they denied everything, but the boy said the science teacher saw him and could tell him the truth.

• Siri: ...

• However, the teacher argued that he didn't see anything, which was a lie since he was in the hallway, so the group of students went free, and the boy was labelled a liar. What do you think happened next?

• Siri: ...what happened?

• The boy was beaten by that group of classmates and ended up in the hospital for 1 week. Everyone knew who had beaten him, but no one said anything for fear of retaliation. The boy, in desperation, went to the bridge of his city with the intention of jumping and committing suicide. Still, fortunately, a man stopped him in time, convinced him not to do it, and helped him seek justice.

• Siri: and then what?!

• The man gave him some advice: the moment those students started to bother him, he should use whatever he had around him and hit them with it. Hence, the next day, the boy went to class and sat down in the classroom. The moment the teacher left, the group of students started to bother him. Still, this time, the boy burst into a fit of anger and used the wooden chair to hit them, provoking those kids' screams of pain and tears. After the teacher returned, he was met with a scene of horror. In one corner of the room, the students were cornered in fear, while in the other was the group of students molesting the boy smeared with blood, their pants full of urine and their shirts tied up in their own tears. In contrast, the boy stood looking at his abusers as if they were a pair of mangled toys, while in his hand was a wooden chair stained with blood.

• Siri: what happened next?

• ...What do you think happened?

• Siri: The boy was expelled?

• Also, the families of his abusers wanted him to be put in jail. The school was not on his side either, as they preferred to expel him rather than have to deal with several families, not to mention the fact that the boy was an orphan, so he was alone and with no one on his side but then, without warning a person arrived. It was the man who prevented him from committing suicide, he was dressed like a businessman and was carrying a briefcase in his hand, he kicked open the door and looked at all the people in the teacher's room, a physical education teacher wanted to confront him, but the man grabbed him by the neck and lifted him in the air and with a tone full of dignity asked: "Is this the school where they punish the good ones? "His question left everyone in shock, so he threw the teacher out of the classroom and proceeded to open his briefcase. In it were pictures of the boy being harassed by that group of students, videos of them being abusive to the other students and even showed how the teachers ignored their misdeeds.

• Siri: And then?!

• The man looked at the teachers and asked them, "do you really call yourselves teachers? Even a cockroach is more useful than you" The teachers did not know what to say about the situation and before they could say anything the man took out his cell phone and called a number and told him to come to school "x" now. After a few minutes, men in black suits arrived and took the bullying students away along with their parents and even the teachers who did nothing. The man took the bullied boy and enrolled him in another school, taking him away from that place full of bad memories. After a week, the boy saw the news about the disappearance of some students and their parents and teachers from his previous school. The police never went to ask him questions, and the man who helped him never showed up again. The boy went on with his life, but from that moment on, he vowed to treat people as they treated him and return his goodwill to the people who deserved it.

• Siri: Marco... the boy in that story...

• Well, look at the time, it's already very late, and tomorrow we have to work, we should go back to the academy... By the way, is there any room available at the academy so I can sleep there? If there isn't, then I'll sleep outdoors.

• Siri: ...Yes ...there is a free room in the teacher's building, it is next to my room.

• Perfect, shall we go now or do you want to eat another hamburger?

At this question, Siri tells him yes, so Marco buys two more hamburgers, which causes Siri to reveal a small smile.

After receiving their hamburgers, they began to eat them while walking back to the academy. During their return, they talked about several things, especially how he would act tomorrow to take the students of class 2B and the teacher. They did not act to this aggression. It was decided that he would take care of the students. She, the teacher, this is to prevent the other teachers from defending him and getting away with it.

Once they arrived at the academy, they headed to the teacher's building and up the stairs. The available and Siri's rooms were on the fourth floor, so it was a while before they finally reached their destination.

At that, Siri opens the door, takes a key out of her room, and hands it to Marco.

• Siri: Here you go, make sure you return it.

• I will only use it today, tomorrow I will return it to you, anyway, good night.

• Siri: Good evening.

With that said, Marco enters the room and closes the door. When he turns on the light, he sees that the room is well furnished, painted in soothing colours like white marble and sky blue, there is also a small kitchen, bathroom with shower and a mini living room with desk and shelf, if not for the fact that he already has a rented room, he would surely move in here.

• Well, let's take a bath first. Tomorrow will be a very hectic day.

• Kiii! (`▽')

...

The next morning, as soon as the alarm clock goes off, I quickly jump out of bed and start my morning routine.

Once finished, I open the door and go down the stairs at full speed, heading towards the first building to look for classroom 2B, which I don't take long to do. Still, I can't act yet as I have to wait for the students to arrive, so I walk away from the classroom and take out a packet of food for breakfast and wait.

...

Meanwhile, in the students' dormitories.

Everyone was waking up and heading to their classes. Some were meeting their friends, while others were walking alone. Theo was walking out of the building towards his new classroom.

The classroom where he will be now is 4D. This change is known only to Theo, the secretary Siri and the coach Marco, when the classroom teacher would find out today.

While walking to his new classroom, a group of students intercepted him in the middle of the road. These were his former classmates, the same ones who had beaten him yesterday for accepting Coach Marco's class.

When Theo saw them, he stopped and began to observe them carefully. Trainer Marco told him that it was very possible that his former teammates would attack him again and that he should be attentive. He also told him that fighting against other people is not much different from fighting against monsters. The only difference is that people are more unpredictable and that he should be aware of his surroundings and fight with all his strength.

At that, his now-former classmates surrounded him in a circle while looking at him with mocking faces, as if they saw a clown about to do a funny act.

• Boy 2: Just look, he's the class traitor.

• Boy 1: Did you think you wouldn't meet us if you left early?

• Boy 3: He doesn't seem to understand us. Maybe his brain doesn't work anymore because of yesterday's beating?

• Boy 7: We should give him another blow to get his brain working again.

• All: HAHAHAHAHAHA

• Theo: ...

While his former teammates were laughing at Theo, he was watching their movements like a soldier ready for action, if it was the Theo of yesterday, he would be clenching his fists while cowering in fear, but after his confrontation with the fat mice, he now has more confidence in himself.

At that, one of the boys came up behind him, intending to hit the back of his head. Still, Theo was prepared for that, so with a nimble movement, he leans to the left to dodge the blow of his ex-partner, which not only leaves the boy surprised but also his ex-partners.

But that's not all, as he notices that the boy is now in a vulnerable position to an attack, so he pulls out the wooden sword and with it performs an upward slash, which hits his stomach causing him to fall to the ground.

• Boy 5: *ACK* *HA* *ACK

The strong impact caused the boy to kneel down and clutch his stomach with all his strength to endure the pain for the other students who saw the scene. They remained motionless and did not know how to react to this situation.

When he was beaten yesterday, Theo did nothing. He covered his face to avoid the blows, making him look pathetic. Still, he looks like a totally different person, something they can't understand. What happened to make them change so fast? Is he still the same Theo? What's going on?

That was what everyone was wondering. Meanwhile, in Theo's mind, something similar was happening but also different. How come his ex-partners are so weak?

At that, the rest of his boys came to.

• Boy 1: At - attack, don't let him escape!

• Boy 3: Yes, how dare you attack our friend by surprise!

Seeing how his former companions begin to run towards him to hit him, Theo begins to move among them, dodging the blows and kicks that he tries to give him without any difficulty while taking advantage of their every failure to hit them in the stomach with his wooden sword.

...

2 minutes later, his former teammates were lying on the ground as they tried to endure the pain of the blow to their stomachs. Theo was standing in their midst, creating a picture of a victorious warrior.

But in Theo's mind, other thoughts arose: Did I just beat them so easily? Since when did they get so slow? Did I get stronger?

The answer was a yes and a no at the same time. Although Theo defeated 50 fat mice yesterday as part of his training, this does not mean he is now stronger. What happens is that monsters are natural hunters, so they are always in constant fights against other monsters to survive, making them good adversaries. As for his former companions, although they are stronger than the fat mice, they do not have enough combat experience, so Theo, who experienced first-hand multiple ambushes by the fat mice, he unconsciously became accustomed to being alert to his surroundings, which caused him to see the futile attack attempts of his former companions.

Seeing that they were no longer getting up. Theo continued walking to his new classroom, leaving his former classmates on the floor while they held their stomach pains.

Little did they know that this would not be the end of their suffering, for once they reached their classroom, they would be targeted by another person who, so far, is still angry with them and unwilling to let them go.
