Tokyo | 2010

The sky is painted a vibrant orange with red shading, the clouds are a tantrum red. Still a mesmerising sight to steady us into the afternoon.

'The System graciously blessed me with 5 percentiles for all my stats.' I internally mused.

Tenzo looks at his balance of a thousand SP, he could double each stat and be left with 200 SP.

——————————————————––

"Great...this is going to be a long journey. " Tenzo rubs the wrinkles on his forehead.

He found himself back in High School just like his previous life but in this world his reincarnation could care less about school.

"Have mercy. " A painful groan nudges Tenzo out of his thoughts.

"Oh-yeah. I forgot you guys are still here." Tenzo scratches the back of his scalp.

The Coco-skinned delinquent, stood over 3 battered second years who thought they could beat him in a fight, luckily for them, Tenzo spared them from a humiliating beating by bashing them after school where theres barely people around.

"This is boring. " Tenzo sighs, lifting his foot off one of the juniors back, making his way off the school premises.

Not even sparing them a second glance he walks off.

The cold wind kisses his skin as the afternoon cold settles in, the slow rhythm of Tokyo's Southern region keeps him calm.

Lingering memories of Castro, hit him like nostalgia at any remembrance of her.

"I miss you." He whispers into the passing wind.

Entering a local park, he roams for a bench to brood on.

"There she is." Tenzo's eyes land on a lonely bench by the other gate of the park, just out of reach from the main playground and joggers, perfect spot for a loner.

"Where do you think your going Honey? You just go walk past us like that?" A deep voice chuckles.

"Leave me alone. " A feminine voice responded, frost in her tone.

"What you say b#tch?" A second guy steps in front of her.

"You shouldn't be rude to your elders, little girl. " The former growls.

Tenzo observes the scene of two grown men, surrounding a short pink-haired girl,with emerald eyes and prominent eyebrows. She's wearing a school uniform similar to Sailor moon attire, but the girl wasn't afraid of the men invading her space, she is oddly calm.

"I'm going to ask you to step back one more time." She warns, glaring at the taller man with no issue at all.

"You think you a tough b#tch huh?" He grabs at her uniform top, digging his dirty fingers at her chest region.

Whoosh

The girl lifted her left leg in an impressive display of flexibility, a resounding roundhouse kick, connecting with the man's skull.

Bang

The assaulted eyes rolled to the back of his head, body slumping to the ground.

"What the!?"

Bang

The girl didn't hesitate with a spinning heel kick to the guy on her blindside, the heel of her school shoes rocks his jaw clean, his off the ground before she can balance herself.

Thud

He crumbles to the ground, unconscious like his partner in crime.

"Bastards. " The girl spat out.

"Were you ever going to intervene?" She calls me out, a visible vein pulsing on her forehead.

"What?" I was genuinely caught off gaurd.

"You heard me. You just watched these sickos harass me in broad daylight and stood there like a freak!" She barks out.

'This is bad."

"Look lady, I didn't think–"

Whoosh

Before I could finish my sentence, the girl charged at me, in a few leaps she reached me, her finally leap was reminiscent of a hurdles athlete, stretching her foot out to aim a kick at my head.

"F#ck!" I cross my arms over my head.

Crack

The pressure of her kick, causes a mini tear on my Radius, pushing me to the ground.

"Ouff–" I gasped out, back hitting the ground hard, my eyes widen in shock as she gracefully lands on my crossed arms, her weight pressing down my chest.

"Give me one good reason on why I shouldn't kill you?" She scowls, putting more weight on my chest.

"I-I...can't breathe –"

" Not a good reason!"

—–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

"What!" Tenzo yells out loud at the new mission penalties, pushing through the pain he risks breaking his bones to get her off his body.

"What?!" Senju hops off him, landing a few feet away, she takes a Taekwondo stance.

"I'm still going to kill you."

"Do your worst." Tenzo growls.

They charge at each other, Senju aims for a high kick, while Tenzo bends his knees low.

Her straight leg kick cuts the air as Tenzo ducks at the last moment, grabbing her anchor leg.

"Eeep!" She squeals out.

"I'm sorry. " Tenzo apologies for the shameless fighting tactic.

He lifts her anchor leg, balancing her on his left shoulder.

"You perv!" She wraps her free leg over his neck, her hands holding the bottom of his chin.

"Hell, no! He resorts to desperate measures by falling face front to the waiting grass.

"Aaahhhh!" Senju screams.

Bang

Both bodies slam hard to the earth, the impact more severe on the white-haired woman.

"Ughhh..." Tenzo groans, rubbing at his sore neck, Senju pulled his neck before they landed, he swears he almost died.

"Hey, you alright –"

Crack

The sole of her foot connects with his face, snapping it back.

Senju growls as she stands up over him, lifting her foot, ready to stomp him out.

Bang

The first stomp rocks his cranium.

Bang

The second is a nauseating crunch.

Bang

The third connects but Tenzo pushes back against her attack.

"How?" She trails off in disbelief at him still being conscious.

Tenzo stood up abruptly, ruining her balance as he counters.

Bang

Her shock wipes away as he sends a right hook to her exposed jaw.

"Argghh..." She gasps.

Tenzo followed up the hook with an uppercut to ger vulnerable jaw, putting all his strength into the hit.

She lifted slightly off the ground.

Thud

Senju crashes to the floor, back first, staring at the clouds.
