Stealing Spree

When that supposed leader of theirs exclaimed like that, the other two who were still standing went to those knocked down by us and dragged them back.

These six weren’t the only ones who actually followed us.

From behind them, I could see some of those who hid in a corner to watch things unfold. Perhaps their plan would be to become the ‘knight in shining armor’ for the girls as soon as they were surrounded by these six.

By doing that, they would have more manly points to the girls rather than be hated because of a forceful method.

However, that plan of theirs would remain a plan. Either way, even if they decide to join up with these six. I would never let them get near my girls.

At least the others earlier were straightforward with their intention to get to know them, unlike these people who would resort to force or any other things that would leave the girls no choice.

It’s also a good thing that I decided to come to them first. It’s too dangerous if they gathered like this because of how good-looking they all are. They would always attract men’s attention.

“Will you scram for us or not? Ah no. You don’t have to scram. Let me use you to conduct a lesson. And girls, watch this, alright? This will be one of the things I’m gonna teach you.”

After saying that, I took a step forward and arrived in front of the eyebrow piercing guy.

He was still confused as to how fast things happened. In his mind, he probably thought that we would be scared or at least, the girls would be intimidated by them and they would ask me to stop in case I get hurt.

But seeing two women knocking those two down. Moreover, it wasn’t a light kick or punch. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be knocked unconscious.

Sena was training almost everyday. Although she looked lean on the outside, her muscles were firm enough because of her continued practice in boxing, be it on her arms or her legs. As for Akane, she’s always exercising with me and… she was trained by her mother to deal with annoying flies like these. She already knew a lot of self-defense techniques.

“Did you gulp down your tongue? Or are you about to piss your pants?” I mockingly said which made the eyebrow piercing guy to gather his wits.

However, what left his mouth was another typical reply from guys like him. “Shut up!”

With his drool flying out of his mouth, the guy lifted his fist to throw a punch at me. He’s too agitated that he’s already full of openings. Even if by chance that he’s a lot better than the other five, irritating someone could open up their flaws.

Well, I didn’t know if he’s great or not. He’s just standing since earlier after all. But with this… it’s too clear that… he’s just the same as them.

I did a little step to the side letting him pass by me and his fist hit nothing. At this point, I began my lesson for the girls. “You see this? You have to agitate them first. But naturally, you have to keep your distance. When they become agitated enough to throw a punch or anything they would be come up with, always prepare yourself to dodge to the side or backwards.”

The other two who were dragging their companions back stopped in place and watched, with their jaws dropped, what’s happening. They were already on the verge to curse because I was using them to teach a lesson. A lesson for the women that they thought would be easy to pick up because they all looked delicate.

With the guy’s back exposed to me. I skillfully grabbed the back of his head, swept my leg on his feet to make him lose his balance before mercilessly smashing his face down the ground.

Following that, I stepped on his back and crouched before getting a hold of his hair to raise his head. “Moreover, if you managed to knock them down like this. Don’t stop immediately. Do it twice or thrice more.”

Following my own words, I smashed his face on the ground again and again until he stopped twitching.

He won’t die with just that. In fact, he would be up in a few minutes. Just that, he would find his nose and forehead blown up.

After letting go of his hair, I shifted my gaze to the other two who froze from where they were.

I intentionally narrowed my eyes to a slit before I gradually straightened my body, acting as if I was about to use them next as my tool for another lesson.

Before I could even make the first step towards them, the two tumbled back before hurriedly kneeling down in front of me.

“I’m sorry, please don’t hit me!” The two simultaneously shouted.

“Do I look like I need your apology?”

“N-no…” They answered and as if they got a flash of inspiration, they turned their kneeling figures towards the direction of the girls. “We’re sorry for thinking of hitting on you. We… have no excuse!”

BANG!

After shouting that, the two voluntarily smash their foreheads on the ground.

With blood dripping down their foreheads, the two then shifted back to me, waiting for my judgement.

“Alright. Scram. You can try calling for more but know that… the next time. I will not be merciful.” After saying this, I crouched down and whispered something to them. “And you better hope not to run into me when I’m alone. I bet you’ve heard about the rumor about the Ghost.”

Along with a sinister smile that I made sure to cover from my girls’ eyesight, I tapped their shoulders gently.

However, when they heard about that nickname, the two visibly shivered in fear.

The Ghost.

Well, it’s a nickname that someone brought up before. He’s a notorious fighter who was supposed to be agile and harder to catch. Most of the time, he wouldn’t be hit in a fight. Moreover, no one actually knew his true identity.

But that nickname pertained to me. I had no idea how it became that exaggerated when I only did that one time. I covered my face with a face mask and I wore a cap when I dealt with that group of delinquents in my previous school for the second time. I only chanced upon them planning something vicious along with the local gangsters or those drop-outs that were always in the arcade.

Due to that, I ambushed them one by one, beating them up enough for them to be bedridden for days. They had no idea who did that to them so when they returned to school, they began talking about the similar incident they experienced. And that’s when that nickname began spreading.

Fortunately, they already stopped what they were planning or else I would do it again. It included Akane so… I couldn’t help myself when I heard her name leaving their vile mouths.

While they were still shivering from where they were kneeling, I returned to Akane and Sena’s side. Although I got the urge to grab both of them from their waists, I restricted myself to only reaching for Akane. We’re still in public and we still had to keep this act.

I knew it would be more dangerous for the girls this time since these guys would be able to recognize them. That’s why I had to put more precaution in this kind of situation. And if the need arose… resurrecting that rumored ‘Ghost’ wouldn’t be bad.

“Let’s go. We’re running late.” I said as I began guiding them out of the alley.

I already ignored those watching from afar. From what they witnessed, they had to think twice if they would still show themselves.
