Chapter 2 - Stylish Ruffian Slayer?

The moon was drifting high in the sky. It was probably an ungodly hour to be out, the hour of witches maybe even later. This was not bothersome to me since I am already used to it. I didn't have much time though. I had to swoop in deal with the thugs and vanish from sight all before the police arrived. From what I can tell from my the reflection on my phone screen which I was using to spy into the warehouse, there were two men. One was probably of average height and had a slender build while the other one was big,buff and had a muscular build. I could tell that he had trained his body through relentless effort. I could not exactly hear what they were saying but it appears the slim guy was the one in charge.

I mentally named him thug 1 and his friend thug 2. They seemed to be armed so walking through the front door was not an option."Come to think of it aren't warehouses supposed to have skylights?". A bright idea manifested inside my ever brilliant mind as I began changing into my costume. It was not really something fancy just a ski mask and tracksuit. I found a ladder near the warehouse and used it to climb onto the roof.

Thud noises could be heard as I carefully walked looking for the skylight. "Ooh, here it is." Without much thought I jumped through it and landed gracefully. I purposely landed on my hands and knees to distribute the impact to avoid getting injured. Thug 1 though surprised was the first one to act he aimed his gun at me. I was already anticipating this and picked up a glass fragment and threw it aiming for his had. Thug 1 grunted in pain as the glass pierced his arm forcing him to drop his gun. Quickly I ran towards and tackled him and hit him with enough force to knock him out. But something felt off. Thug 2 had not moved if anything he seemed excited.

He took out his gun and dropped it onto the floor. Unlike the original Cid I honestly don't have the tolerance to listen to villan monologue. I took out my crowbars and got it my fighting stance I was gonna go all out from the beginning. Thug 2 seemed to still be monologuing so I didn't hesitate to attack. Though caught off guard he managed to dodge my attack. "An impatient one I see,well let's get on with it" he said as he took out a knife. I guess that's his weapon of choice. Akane was still on the floor conscious but confused she didn't know if this new individual was an ally or foe.

I as an individual blessed with sense decided to use it I picked up the gun and aimed it at my opponent. Thug 2 was shocked as he didn't expect that. "Fight me like a man!!! Stop hiding behind cowardly means" he shouted. Me being me I didn't hesitate to fire the gun. I aimed at his limbs specifically with the objective of immobilizing him. I tied them up. Now what was I to do with Akane. I purposely chose not to talk so that she would not recognize my voice. Looking at her the girl seemed petrified. She looked like she was about to have a stroke. I knocked her out and untied her. I left the scene immediately, since gunshots were fired the police would come to investigate. That I was certain of. However I did things differently from the novel; would this affect anything like in the movies. "Well I guess will cross the bridge when we get there."

Well after that day everything returned back to normal. The incident was covered up I'm guessing Akane's family did not want a scandal. My next goal was to triumph over an opponent who is the most difficult in my two lives. That is mathematics. I am terrible at it. It is not because of an attitude it's just that maths requires one to follow rules and unfortunately I am rebellious by nature. I have been spending the past few months trying to at least get an average grade but I think I have hit a stump. I decided to take a break by training in the forest.

"Maths " I said to myself over and over as i bunched a tree. I feel like I am losing it. After hitting the tree over and over again I suddenly felt elated. The feeling was comparable to achieving enlightenment. A bright light shone behind me. Was this it the success I was looking for ?.I began chasing the light, running like a mad man. Maths is one of the greatest mysteries to me comparable to women. I reached out as I was running and leaped to finally attain the light. Just when I was about to reach for the light my vision was engulfed by darkness."What happened?" .Is light meant to be dark or can I was I meant to never understand maths. Wait! I couldn't feel my body. Oooh I realized what happened I fell for it. Truck kun had got me.
