Today the classroom was much more lively than usual, several students around 16-17 years old were standing and chatting happily, so hugging, others simply laughing as they rembered good tis and there were also those who were shedding so tears.

However, that was to be expected, after all, today was the last day of school, many of them would take different paths in life and so would never encounter again.

"Heh..."

In the midst of all this, a young man suddenly let out a laugh, he had black curly hair along with green eyes and an olive skin, although he wasn't the tallest in the class, he still was taller than most of his classmates.

The reason of his particularly good mood today was because finally, after waiting for so long, today was the day when everything will change for him...

'Now that I have the opportunity to change my life, I must take full advantage of it... The only thing left now is wait for him to arrive!' He thought, excitedly.

"Jay!"

'Just in ti...'

Turning around to see the person that had called him by his na, Jay couldn't help but smile inwardly as he saw a tall young man entering the classroom.

The young man's na was Carl, the typical bully who liked to prove his superiority by abusing others weaker than him, although for so reason, it would seem that his only target was Jay, as he didn't bother anyone else in the entire school.

Carl had white hair which was combed backwards, adding his jade green eyes and his slim build, everything ca together to form the person known as Carl.

Unfortunately, it seems that regardless of his personality, the world had been good to him, because not only was his appearance quite good and his family wealthy, he also was... an esper.

"You are really brave to co here today despite being useless, eh!" He said as he approached Jay's desk.

The 'useless' thing was an insult that Jay had heard several tis in his life, since he had not manifested an ability for any of the three classes since he was a child, most people saw him as soone inferior to them.

Although of course, no one knew that Jay had... changed.

"Haha, no no, brave is coming to school with the grades you have." He answered as he got up of his seat and gave him the brightest smile he could do, "You know, despite this being the last day of school, you were so kind to co and remind them that their grades are not the worst, you really are such a considerate person~"

Although it was true that Carl excelled in several aspects of his life, studying was not one of them.

On the other hand, Jay could boast about his grades all he wanted, after all, as a person with no powers, he had a lot of free ti, ti that he used to study and read all the things he could.

While his grades weren't the best in the class, he ranked nearly to the top.

"You..." Said Carl, a vein popping on his forehead, it seems that Jay had managed to anger him.

This was another bad aspect of Carl... he was short tempered.

*Woosh!*

Suddenly, Carl activated his ability, causing various wind currents to start swirling around him, even though it was only wind, the pressure they were causing was no laughing matter.

Their classmates stopped their conversations and backed away when they saw what was happening, making it clear that they were not going to intervene, which was understandable, as it was not worth antagonizing Carl for Jay's sake.

Moreover, everyone here was aware of Carl's strenght, even if they wanted to help, they only would get beaten up by him.

As for any teacher intervening here, it wasn't probable, since it was the last day of school, they were all in the teacher's lounge, enjoying the last day of school chatting with their peers and giving the students ti for themselves.

"What's happening there?"

At that mont, the loud but clear voice of another young man was heard by everyone in the classroom. Although his tone was calm, it carried a certain authority that made everyone present inevitably pay attention to him.

Fortunately for Jay, if Carl was his personal bully, there was also soone who acted as a hero for him, and in this case, the role fall on this person.

"Jas..." Said Carl as he watched a really tall young man with a military haircut make his way through his classmates to get where Jay and him where.

Since Jay's seat was in the front row of the classroom, all of his classmates had backed away from Carl and him, pushing so people behind, including Jas.

If Carl was tall, then Jas was a giant, if Carl was handso, then Jas looked like a movie actor, adding the great physique he possessed, if both were conquerable characters in a dating simulation ga, Jay didn't think that anyone would complain.

Jas, without a doubt the prince of this school, apart from surpassing anyone of the school when it cos to fitness, his fair personality, combined with his lively golden gaze full of determination and confidence which never wavered even against the delinquents of any school, made him earn the undisputed number one place in the girl's rankings.

The reason he was so fair was because he cos from a long line of pugilists, and not normal pugilists, but those who worked in the army, that's also the reason of why he had a military haircut right now.

"Carl..." Said Jas as he stood in front of Jay, facing Carl face to face.

With both of them facing each other, the atmosphere beca even more tense than before.

"If you're going to beat him up, I also want to join!"

Suddenly, a girl's voice was heard loud and clear in the room, montarily interrupting the tense situation unfolding.

Then, soone else made their way through their classmates.

The person who ca out this ti was a girl with long blue hair that fell like a waterfall all the way to her knees, she was wearing a white blouse which was unbuttoned at the neck and a skirt that reached her thighs, both revealing the girl's gleaming white skin.

Although the girl was quite pretty, her charm went beyond the physical, as she radiated a certain aura that seed to overshadow everything around her, adding her confident and bright attitude, this girl indiately managed to make everyone montarily forget the real conflict that was taking place in the classroom.

As for her height, while it was true that she was short when compared to Carl and Jas, she didn't fall behind too much since she was almos as tall as Jay after all.

"Sarah? I thought you wouldn't co to school today." Said Jas as he looked at the girl who had appeared.

"Well, I suspected sothing like this would happen and I definitely couldn't pass up such a good opportunity to give this idiot a lesson."

"Haha, you really don't like him, do you?" Answered Jas while crossing his arms and laughing.

"I just hate bad guys." Said Sarah, giving Carl a cold gaze before lookint at Jay. "Anyway, are you okay, Jay?"

"Physically I'm better than ever, but the way you're clenching your fists right now are making wonder who the dangerous person is here, if you or Carl." He answered before backing away.

"Indeed, those fists are dangerous even to a pugilist like ." Jas played along with him, laughing a bit louder than before.

"Oi, I ca to school just to help you and you make fun of !" Sarah on the other hand crossed her arms and turned her head to avoid looking at them.

"DON'T IGNORE !!"

*WOOSH*

However, before any of them could finish their conversation, Carl released a strong current of wind into the room while, forcing everyone in the room to take a few steps back, everyone except 3 people.

The first person was obviously...

"He gets angry really quickly." Said Jas, whose pupils were now emitting a golden light giving him a mystical air, and that wasn't all, his body was wrapped in a silver aura which seed to protect him from the wind.

The second person was...

"He's rude too, we were having a conversation here in case you hadn't noticed." Said Sarah, who was also surrounded by sothing, although it wasn't an aura like Jas' but a transparent sphere with a surface similar to that of a soap bubble, which despite appearing weak was quite resistant.

And finally...

Jay, the person behind the two living windbreakers.

"I appreciate the gesture, guys, but you're making look bad..." He said as he walked towards Carl, leaving the security that they both provided.

"Hey! What are you doing? Get back here!" Yelled Sarah when she saw him walk past in front of her.

Jas on the other hand just watched him closely, as if to find out what he had planned.

'...Seriously, your senses are just too good, Jas!' Thought Jay.

"Sohow I feel like you're different today, I hope you know what you're doing." He said, moving aside so Jay could get closer to Carl.

"Of course I do, so for now... leave this to !"

With those words as the trigger, he ran to Carl with everything he had.

Seeing this, Cal didn't even bother to dodge.

"Pfft, maybe it would be different if Jas or Sarah ca, but do you really think that a good-for-nothing like you can take on?!" He shouted, obviously not taking him serious at all.

However, that was understandable, after all, Jay was only a normal human, while Carl was a skilled esper, the difference in power between the too was just too great.

The next mont, Carl moved his arm horizontally, causing a small but incredibly fast moon-shaped wind current to co flying towards Jay.

There was no doubt, if that hit him, Jay definitely would have to stay in the hospital for a good ti, however, that's only if it managed to hit him.

While it was true that it was fast, it was also quite predictable, so Jay indiately jumped to the right, successfully avoiding the wind and getting closer to Carl in the process.

"Ohhh, well done Jay!" Jas shouted from where he was standing, clapping his hands.

"You can do it Jay! Kick that bastard's ass!" Sarah also joined, cheering for him.

'...I really don't know if she's encouraging or just expressing her displeasure for Carl, haha.' Thought Jay.

"...What have I done to you?" Suddenly asked Carl to Sarah.

"I just hate bad guys so shut up and let him beat you up!"

Faced with such a strong and direct statent, Carl could only give up.

'Hm, sothing tells there is a deeper reason than that, but oh well, I'll leave it for later. First things first, now that I'm pretty close to him...'

"Ha!" With a war cry, Jay tried to throw a punch towards Carl's face.

"Heh, in your dreams, idiot!" Shouted Carl, instantly gathering more wind currents, there was no doubt that Jay wouldn't get out of this unscathed if any of them managed to hit him.

Fortunately, he had already thought about what to do in this situation.

*Tap*

"...Eh?"

"..."

'They're pretty quiet, they must be impressed by my surprise move~'

"Why... Why did you throw yourself on the ground, I haven't done anything yet..." Said Carl, taken back for Jay's unexpected move.

However, while this may seem just a desperate attempt to avoid getting hit, this was part of Jay's plan.

"...Take this!" He yelled as he quickly grabbed his ankle.

Unfortunately, even after a few seconds passed, nothing happened.

"...Hahaha, what are you trying to do, tickle ?" Carl didn't seem worried in the least that Jay was touching his ankle, "I'm afraid you're going to need a lot more than-OUCH. Hey, don't pinch !"

'So that's what it feels uh... oh well, better for .'

"All right, I'm tired of this!" Said Carl before releasing the strongest wind current until now.

"Ahh!"

As Jay no longer had the reliable living windbreakers by his side, he was sent flying a few ters.

"Argh! Damn, I landed on my ass, it's definitely going to hurt tomorrow..." He said as he rubbed his buttocks before standing up and looking at Carl again, "You know what... let's call it a draw."

"...What?"

Since he had already achieved his goal, there was no reason why Jay should continue "fighting" with him, so he decided to stop at this mont.

"Well, nevermind, in the end you couldn't even hit , and you even dared to act brave?" He said with an arrogant look on his face.

"But I could touch your ankles! So you better watch them because next ti I'm not just going to grab them, you heard !"

A good line of intimidation never hurts... at least that's what Jay thought.

"...What?" Carl said with a confused look on his face.

"I said that next ti I won't just touch your ankles, I'll bit-Ugh!"

However, before Jay could finish repeating his weird threat, a pair of long and strong arms lifted him up against his will.

"All right, that's it, this fight ends in a draw, then, see you later!" Said Jas as he headed towards the classroom door with Jay on his shoulder.

Although it definitely wasn't the most glorious form of retreat, Jay didn't have a say on this.

"Next ti I see you I'll kick your ass myself Carl!" Added Sarah while making a "You're going down!" expression with her hands as she also headed towards the door.

"Hey, why can she threaten but not ?" Jay protested.

"Because your threats are weird!" She answered.

That way, the three of them quickly left the classroom leaving behind an entire classroom full of confused people, what's more, when they were outside of the classroom, Jay heard Carl's say: "What did just happen?!"

It was to be expected that he was confused, as everything had happened too fast, however, Jay couldn't care less about how Carl was feeling right now.

After all, the ssage he had been expecting all this ti finally appeared before his eyes.
