'Too easy. Why did monkey's even play this game back in the city.'
"24 to 3. Have you given up?"
"Man shut up! It's beginners luck! That or you were lying! I can't belive you actually never played basketball before!" A steam engine would describe the red haired boy's emotions right now. If steam could be seen spewing through a person's ear's like a cartoon character then you would see it from Sudo. He was getting destroyed by Fushiguro on a game of basketball.
"I just enjoy making you angry." Grinning Toji threw the basketball at him before flipping him off and laughing.
"Fuck you! Oi join the basketball team by the way. You'd be a good pick. I'll even talk to my seniors about putting you in right away!"
"Not my type of game, it's boring."
"Alright, whatever you say! I'll make you join one day!" Taking a drink of his water the red haired boy known as Sudo sat down watching Toji leave the court. While not explicitly being friends at all, they recently bet with private points on who would win more after a run in at the store.
Toji scrolled through his phone trying to learn more about it. He was still new to this sort of technology for phones. You could bet on it without needing a computer which surprised him the most. He already spent half of his balance losing it all.
Point conversion to yen was self explanatory but the most complicated part was trying to find a way to access a parlay website. He could kill a teenager at any given moment for a few bucks, but by god was he struggling with the navigation. Parlay booths didn't have this much struggle back in the day for him. Now it was littered with ads. He would have to find a good website soon. While Toji wasn't illiterate in technology use, his phone handling was different.
He wasn't used to the idea of how slim they were. It already fell out of his pocket enough to break the screen partially. He went to the tech store to get it patched up but the man there said it would be some time before he could get an appointment. He would say it's understandable with how advanced phones are now, but a girl behind him got her camera fixed right away.
Now Toji turning the corner of the mall's outskirts after walking a considerable distance, was investigating a distant voice he heard. Locating the source, he saw what was occurring.
"Let me go! Stop it!"
A young girls voice was heard faintly from an alleyway, two teenagers stood nearby hidden recording the incident while an older man harassed the younger girl whom was getting recorded. What these teenagers didn't know was the fact Toji Fushiguro stood behind them.
"Whatcha guys recording."
"Ahhhh!" The strawberry haired girl recording the incident screamed out of surprise spinning around and almost slapping Toji across the face but ultimately stopping once she regained her composure. Her companion who was a boy Toji recognized, turned around without any emotion plastered on his face before tilting his head to the slightest degree.
"Who's there!?" The older man who was getting recording snarled out from the screaming of the strawberry pinning his victim against a wall.
"Ah! Help me!" Her cries were heard again, and both the teenagers with enough evidence, turned the corner and started to confront the elder man.
Toji followed in suit, inspecting the man then the women.
'I think I remember his face.... Oh the tech store. He didn't repair my phone. Oh I also remember her face. She's the one who got her camera fixed.'
"W-Who are you guys!" The man clearly startled yelled out.
"Let go of her, you creep! We recorded everything!" The strawberry haired girl yelled showing her phone screen to the man taunting him.
"W-What do you mean! She was just confessing her love to me! She told me she loved me! Right Sizuku-Chan?!" Stammering the man looked behind at Sizuku for any assurance. It would not be found.
"W-W-What do you mean, no! P-Please h-help me!" The girl known as Sizuku-Chan apparently was the one who was being assaulted.
"I already called security! They'll be here any moment! This is a citizens arrest! Let her go!" Pointing to the man, strawberry stepped ahead.
"W-What the fuck! N-No, that won't happen! Sizuku-Chan loves me! She's just denying it! How dare you insult my love for her!" Quite slowly, the man in a fit of anger ran towards the strawberry haired girl but the brown haired boy that was with her originally stepped forward.
"I got him." Instead of the brown haired boy taking stead, Toji took the initiative walking in front of him, pushing him back before the boy could say anything further. Now face to face, the raging pig pulled out a pocket knife intending to stab Toji.
"Watch out, he has a knife!" The strawberry haired girl yelled out but Toji was too fast to react.
Fushiguro grabbed the collar of the man before he could attack, hoisting him up with one hand making him dangle his feet in the air. Stunned by this momentarily the pig's eyes widened in fear.
"I thought you were going to fix my phone, pig. I guess you'll have to go back to the pen." In an attempt to stab Toji the man thrusted his knife to his side but the stab wouldn't connect. Instead Toji deflected the attack and slammed the man on the ground. The man was instantly knocked out the moment his body hit the concrete. His spine was broken. Underneath him, the concrete broke away leaving a small crater.
'Tch, thought that would be more exhilarating.'
"T-Thank y-you." Sizuki-Chan the sputtering mess thanked the trio of people looking at the ground still a mess crying away.
"Sakura! Are you okay? Did he harm you?" The strawberry hair colored girl ran to Sakura comforting her, and the boy besides Toji looked at the man on the ground indifferently before speaking out.
"You're strong."
"Nah, he was just weak."
"Fair enough. I've seen you before. The library."
"That's why you were looking at me weirdly? Were you in that little study group? The one with the haraguroi hito?"
"What do you mean, haraguroi hito? Ayanokoji is the name by the way." Feigning ignorance Ayanokoji looked at Toji.
"You're funny kid. Fushiguro. I'll be leaving then. The pig owed me." Nodding Ayanokoji looked at his phone before approaching the strawberry haired girl hearing the sound of security rushing behind.
"Ichinose, security are here. Let's get Sakura to them." Ichinose nodded helping direct Sakura out of the alleyway, allowing the unconscious man to be apprehended. Since he was knocked out cold, he was no danger and thrown out. The police started to talk to Sakura whom was still panicking but stood in silence.
"Officers she's still shook up, so can we continue this in a couple minutes?"
"Of course, we'll ask your friend here the questions in the meantime." Looking at Ayanokoji, he walked forward answering any questions the officers asked. Ichinose tilted her head and looked around for Toji but there would be no luck as he already vanished.
'Where'd he go? Did he leave already? I need to thank him later. Let's help Sakura'
Instead of staying, Fushiguro had other plans. He dialed a phone number he recently attained the number of.
"Fushiguro, why are you calling me this late? Is there an emergency?" A mature womans voice was on the other end.
"Cut to the chase and stop acting sensei. You got the info we agreed upon?"
An audible sigh was heard on the other line, before a few clicks of a keyboard took place and a mouse click.
"You should receive it soon. Why did you use me for this? Not your own homeroom teacher? While we as teachers do wish best for our students and will help get anything they need it's advised you stick to your homeroom teacher for such occasions and not a subject instructor. We have our own priorities. "
"I already told you sensei. We're both monkey's. And, yea I just got it."
Refreshing the messages, Toji saw the the file.
"What." Audibly confused, Toji stared at the screen inspecting it. Closing and opening the messages again he opened the file.
"Fushiguro, are you happy? Do you need anything else?"
.

'How does he not exist? He should exist. I knew something was wrong with this place once that monk said something about the weak world but not to this extent.'
"Bye." Ending the call, Fushiguro pocketed his phone and looked at the sky.
