In the bright school corridor, Shinichi had just walked out of the classroom when he was stopped by a male classmate.
"Hey, Izumi Shinichi, I heard that you dared to take action against someone from North High School," the classmate said, looking at Shinichi with a mixture of surprise and caution.
Shinichi wrinkled his brow and retorted, "I'm not Counterattack, I'm the one being attacked, okay?"
"Those guys from North High School have been hanging around our school a lot lately," the male classmate continued, looking somewhat nervous.
"They often clash with some idiots from our school. Nagai is one of them," the male classmate added, then walked away without looking back.
At the other end of the corridor, Rimi stood there, her gaze falling on Shinichi.
His face was covered in scars and bruises, which made her heart tighten. The bell for the end of class had just rung, and the students scattered to their respective activities, but Rimi quickly walked over to Shinichi.
"Shinichi, what's going on with you?" Rimi asked, her eyes filled with worry and confusion. "Not only did you not gain the upper hand in the fight, but you were also beaten so badly. Why didn't you let Right help you?"
Shinichi felt a little awkward. He wiped his forehead with the back of his hand and said, "I want to see if I can solve the problem just by relying on myself."
Rimi looked at him, her worried eyes seeming to pierce his soul.
Shinichi felt the indescribable concern from Rimi, which made him feel warm inside, but also a little guilty.
Rimi: Well, I'll have to rely on you then. It's not good to always depend on the power of "Right".
After school, the sky was bathed in a golden glow as Shinichi and Rimi walked together on the tree-lined path on campus.
"Oh, so you have a girlfriend." Suddenly, a girl quickly walked over, wearing a curious expression.
Rimi glanced at the girl's school badge, then furrowed her brows slightly and said, "She's a student from North High School."
Shinichi recalled and finally remembered the girl. He replied, "Ah, you're the one from this morning. Is there something else?" His tone revealed some impatience.
After the girl introduced herself as Kanae, she seemed somewhat displeased with Shinichi and asked, "Hey, why didn't you run away at that time?" Her eyes were filled with confusion and disbelief.
Shinichi felt this was really inexplicable, he frowned and responded, "I don't understand what you're talking about."
Seeing Shinichi ignoring her, Kanae turned to Rimi and said in a provocative tone, "Hey, don't you think this person is weird? Definitely not normal."
Rimi couldn't help but sneer after listening, and retorted, "What I find strange is you. What is a student from North High School doing at our school gate?"
Seeing this, Shinichi felt impatient and took Rimi's hand, saying, "Let's go, Rimi, we don't need to waste our time with her."
Kanae looked at their backs and sneered, "Hmph, putting on a show at this time. They pretend to be righteous on the surface, but secretly engage in some illegal activities behind the scenes."
Rimi suddenly frowned slightly and asked, "Is she a bit strange, Shinichi?"
Shinichi shook his head, tightly holding Rimi's hand, and said, "Let's not bother with her, let's go." His expression was resolute, indicating that he didn't want to spend any more time on this topic.
Kanae stood at the other end of the corridor, watching the backs of the two people gradually moving away. A hint of displeasure hung on her face.
At that moment, a tall male classmate walked over and broke the silence, saying, "Hey, Kanae, what's the deal with you looking for that guy?" He had a curious expression on his face.
Kanae didn't respond, just turned her head and ignored him.
The male classmate, named Koufu, had a slight smile on his lips as he said, "Kanae, have your preferences changed? Haven't you always said you hate guys who pretend to be good boys?"
Kanae turned around at this moment and said with a firm gaze, "Koufu, I really do hate that kind of person. But boys, they must have a kind of wildness, you know?" There was a hint of emotion in her tone.
Kanae suddenly remembered the look she had seen on Shinichi before: a kind of inhuman, wild scent. This made her heart restless.
She then continued with a smile, "Are you jealous?"
Kanae replied defensively, "Who would be jealous of him."
The next day after school, Kanae appeared again at the school gate where Shinichi and Rimi attended. She stood under a distant tree, with only her eyes flashing cold light in the shadows.
"Sigh, it's really a headache. That kid Koufu is actually getting jealous, there's no hope for him." Kanae thought to herself, while at the same time seeing Shinichi and Rimi walking out of the school gate.
"Oh, it looks like those two always go home together." Kanae sneered in her heart, following behind them, thinking, "Isn't this just like kids playing house?"
At that moment, she suddenly saw a boy wearing the North High School uniform, accompanied by two followers, leading Shinichi and Rimi into a secluded alley.
In the dimness of the alley, Koufu and his two henchmen cornered Rimi. Koufu glanced at the visibly nervous Shinichi and smugly said, "I actually have no business with you. You can leave."
"Shinichi." Rimi bit her lower lip tightly, wanting to kick these guys away with one foot.
Shinichi stared with wide eyes and shouted, "Let her go!"
Koufu smiled and replied, "That won't do, but you can go first."
Shinichi didn't back down and bravely stepped forward to fight Koufu. However, without Right's assistance, he was just an ordinary person and no match for Koufu.
Rimi was very anxious on the side, but also helpless. Because now the Japanese government has noticed this matter, they cannot let "Mi" and "Right" be exposed in public at will, otherwise they will both be taken away for experiments.
"Go away, you've shown off enough as a hero," Koufu said with a sneer.
Despite this, Shinichi still did not back down, leading Koufu to beat him even more mercilessly.
"Stop it, you tall jerk!" Rimi shouted angrily, but she was tightly held back by Koufu's henchmen, and her insults seemed to be of no use.
At that moment, Right suddenly said to Shinichi: "Shinichi,"
Shinichi immediately responded to Right: "You don't need to take action, you should rest first."
Right said without any worries: "But you have to understand, the opponents here are far superior to you..."
"Don't worry," Shinichi said firmly, with a slight smile on his lips, even in the face of Koufu's violence.
Suddenly, Koufu's fist flew at him again, and Shinichi fell to the ground, which was covered with pebbles and broken glass, in pain.
"Shinichi, if your combat power is measured at ten, then this tall man is an eighteen. As for the two men holding Rimi, one is thirteen, and the other is fourteen," Right analyzed in a calm tone.
"Why are you telling me this?" Shinichi asked in confusion, his gaze still firm.
"Because in the animal kingdom, we don't pick fights we can't win." Right explained seriously, hoping to convince Shinichi.
"Oh, is that so?" Shinichi stood up with difficulty, a determined glint in his eyes. "But for humans, sometimes we just can't back down. That's what sets us apart from you."
Shinichi threw another punch, but failed to hit Koufu, and instead was tightly grabbed by Koufu. "What are you muttering in your mouth?" Koufu sneered, followed by a flurry of punches.
"Shinichi, stop trying to tough it out! You're putting your life in danger this way!" Rimi shouted anxiously, her voice filled with helplessness and worry.
Shinichi was almost unable to stand after being beaten, coughing incessantly, and leaning against the dusty brick wall. "Let her go, or else—" Shinichi gasped, at the same time, his Right hand transformed, revealing three shining blades.
Seeing this, Shinichi hurriedly said, "Wait, idiot, I didn't ask you to intervene!"
"What else can I do? Go home and tell your mom?" Koufu sneered.
At this tense moment, Kanae finally appeared, stepping out of the shadow of the alley. She said sternly, "Koufu, you've gone too far."
"Kanae!" Koufu showed a surprised expression on his face.
Suddenly, a group of people surged into the alley, and the leader shouted, "So it's you, Koufu. Why would you treat these two innocent people like this?"
"And daring to cause trouble near West High, you North High School students are really bold!" The leading student said sternly, with a face full of dissatisfaction.
Kanae felt the situation was not good, so she quickly seized the opportunity to turn and escape. Her hurried steps revealed her anxiety.
"Kanae!" Koufu watched as Kanae's figure receded into the distance, his expression changed, and he called out.
"That girl is not worth pursuing. The culture at our West High is different from your North High School. We don't lay hands on girls," the leader of the students said proudly, as if expressing a noble principle.
At that moment, a student walked up to Shinichi and said, "This time, it's to repay you for saving me last time." Shinichi looked and saw that it was Longwell. Longwell was someone he had saved before, and this time he had brought people to help when he saw Shinichi and Rimi in trouble.
Shinichi looked at him and said with a smile, "Thank you, Nagai."
Then came an overwhelming turnaround, Koufu and his men were surrounded by many students, and the situation suddenly became very unfavorable.
Right Looking at all this, I can't help but admire and say, "Attacking the few with numerical superiority, from an animal's perspective, they are much smarter than you."
Shinichi responded, "Stop babbling, I am human."
Right continued, "They are also human beings, this has nothing to do with species, it's a matter of intelligence."
Rimi rushed to Shinichi's side and asked with concern, "Are you okay, Shinichi?"
Nagai suggested, "You guys go first, I will handle this. Hurry and bandage your wounds."
