Pilot Chapter
My name is Takahiro Yuuki, a simple ordinary guy who can be found anywhere, my hair is black with bangs that cover my eyes, I'm not very good at sports and I'm average in studies,I don't have a girlfriend or female friends.
Today my school life in high school begins, I hope everything goes well.
“Who would have thought you would get into the same school as me?”
This handsome guy next to me is Onora Souta. He looks like the charming protagonist of a manga, tall, blond, handsome and intelligent.
Souta has always been a great friend of mine. In elementary school, he helped me with some guys who bullied me.
In my last year of elementary school, Souta moved to a different school than mine.
Even so, we never lost touch. I would always show up to play with him and his sister at his house.
“Yes, all that effort was worth it, and it won’t be that weird going to a new school alone. I just hope we end up in the same class.”
“That’s right, brother. Well, I’m going ahead. I have to take care of something on the way. We’ll meet at school. Bye!” Souta says goodbye and leaves.
I wonder what this “thing to solve” of his is?
Could it be a girlfriend? It wouldn’t be a surprise if he had one.
“I’d like to have a girlfriend too, but it’s a little hard for that to happen with a guy with no qualities whatsoever.”
*Sigh
(With this social status I have, I wouldn’t be able to get one.)
With that in mind, I see that if I don’t hurry up I might be late for the first day of school, so I start walking faster.
Turning a corner I saw something that made me stop immediately.
What I saw seemed to be a hooded guy, forcing a girl against the wall with his hand over her mouth.
(Huh!?)
He seemed to have a black-handled knife in his hand pointing at the girl’s neck.
(What the hell is this?!)
“Okay girl, keep quiet and this will be over soon, hehe.”
“hmm!!"
The girl tries to scream but the hand on her mouth doesn't let her.
(Damn, what do I do? There aren't any guards around here.)
Thinking about what to do to help the girl who was really scared, I see a black trash bag that seemed to be a little heavy.
(I think this might help me.)
“Hey, you there.”
I grab the trash bag and throw it at the hooded guy's face, making him fall to the ground.
I grab the girl, who is free from the wall, by the hand and put myself between her and the attacker, her eyes were a little teary.
“What the hell, kid.”
The hooded guy, who seemed to be getting up with a red face that was probably caused by the blow of the trash bag to his face, spoke angrily.
“Run.”
“What?!”
She asks a little scared, she seemed surprised by what I said.
“Run now!”
Realizing that the guy was advancing towards us, she starts to run.
“You damn brat!!”
The guy advanced towards me with the knife. I was too scared to move, so I did something on instinct.
I used my backpack to block the knife, making it get stuck between my notebooks and textbooks.
Even so, I felt a strong pain on the left side of my abdomen.
“What the fuck!!”
The guy was surprised by the movement I made to stop myself from being fatally stabbed.
I pulled my backpack to the side, making the knife, which was stuck in my backpack, slip out of the man's hand.
Somehow I managed to put him in a chokehold, making him faint. I'm glad Souta taught me this move on vacation.
After the adrenaline wore off, I felt a strong pain on the left side of my abdomen, just like at that moment, only bigger.
Looking down I see that I'm bleeding and feeling dizzy. My legs feel weak, which makes me fall to the ground.
“Oh shit.”
Then I lose consciousness.
