6. Strange Combi

The next day, i limping my way to the school. Just kidding. Its not that bad. My leg just still a little bit hurt from the kick. But my condition is a bit weird. From from the power of the kick yesterday, the oldman doesnt seem to be holding back at all.

Well, he wasn't using his full strength either. I mean, his only ordinary kick should be enough to any non-trained body to get nursed for day. But weirdly, my body, this body, only need a goodnight sleep to heal. Thought my leg still a bit sore now.

I need to find out more about this body before continuing my training regime. I will think about it later when the school end.

"Morning Ron!"

"Oh, hai Gray"

"Whats with your walking" Gray asked.

My leg still hurting. Damn it.

"Nothing. I just fell yesterday on my way back home after my afternoon run." I tell him.

"What a luck. You should be more careful. Hahaha!" he laughed.

I just ignored his teasing and keep walking to my class.

The class going peacefully for me. Oh, and i remember. Yesterday after i got home, i checked the card that the oldman give me. There are only a name written on the card. A black card with 'MAXIMILLIAN' written on it with gold color.

No phone number.

No adresses.

How can i ask you to treat me if you dont even leave me a way to contact you, you damn oldman!

"Hey Dumbo. Lets grab a food"

"Go without me, Ron. I need to finish this first" He said as he did his homework.

"C'mon man. You can do it later"

"Nope. I have something to do after school end. Better finish this soon."

"Fine then" as i walked alone to cafetaria.

Why did the cafetaria so crowded today?

Where should i sit huh? Oh, found one. Huh? Why did this table is so free? Other student seem to avoid sitting here.

The moment i sat there, i know the cause of it.

Across my same table is him. Adam Jordan. What a luck. It just yesterday that we had a friendly greetings and now we sit at the same table.

Did he not have any friend at all?

What a lone wolf.

"You didn't mind that i sit here right?" I said to him.

He just look at me once before he resume his eat. Well, not that i really care about what he think tho.

I'm not regreting my decision to eat at the same table with him. Why? Because other student dont dare to pick trouble with us. Uhuk* I mean Adam. Its nice when you can eat a good food in peace. Yeah, its blissful.

Then another guy coming toward our table. He was as tall as Gray but have a lean body with a black short hair and green eyes that seem to shine in the dark. He just sit beside Adam easily. Is he a second year too?

"Sit somewhere else you sloth." Adam said to the guy.

"Dont be so fierce Adam" he said with his loose smile.

"I know that you always eat alone. So i will accompany you once in awhile so that you dont feel lonely." he said jokingly.

"Who is lonely!?" he answer grumpily.

"Haha" he laughed as he looked at me "And who might this be? Adam's new friend?"

"Who is my friend!?" Adam rebuking.

"Ah, where is my manner. I'm Alexander. You can call me Alex. And thanks for eating with Adam. He may be look rough but he is good guy." he introduced himself.

What are you? His mom? i shouted in my mind.

"If you're still continue to talk rubbish, believe me that i will beat you!" Adam roared.

I laughed my ass off seeing this two's banter.

"Whats so funny!?" he roared to me.

"Haha. I just thought that both of you would make a great comedy duo." I laughed.

"Thats some interesting idea" Alex said as he pretend to think about it.

"Oh, and i'm Ronald. Just call me Ron"

"Okay Ron. Come on introduce yourself. Knowing you for a long time, i'm sure you're not even care to introduce yourself." He said to Adam. Adam looks mad that he just ignored Alex.

"Fine. I will do it in your stead. Well, he is Adam Jordan. Just call him Adam". He said to me.

Looking at both of them, i was wondering how did the two of them become friend? Their personality are clearly the opposite of each other.

Now that they sit side by side, they looks so contrasting. Alex with his loose smile and carefree attitude and Adam with his strict and disciplined bearing. Their looks also the same. Alex have pale skin and Adam have tan skin with his crew cut brown hair with golden eyes.

My looks? Now that i think about it, i never care how i really look now or in my old life. Before reincarnating, I have brown hair and blue eyes. My face is on the cool and masculine side but not sweet on the eyes if you know what i mean. But now, I have black shor hair with pale blue eyes and a fair skin. Thankfully my face are on the pleasing-to-eyes side. And thank god that this predecessor of mine doesnt really have any troublesome background or story.

"So are you a first-year Ron? because i think i never seen your face around before" Alex asked me.

"Yeah. I'm first year."

"I see. So how did you know Adam?" he ask curiously.

I told him about what happened yesterday between me and Adam. After ive dons telling him, he laughed so hard.

"I'm hundred percent sure that he was angry because of different reason than what you think" he laughed as he looked at Adam.

Huh? I dont understand. Anyway i'm done eating. Lets back to my class.

"Well, i'm done guys. I'll go first. And its nice meeting you Alex" I said.

"Me too, Ron" he responded while Adam just ignored me.

"See you later" I said as leaving them.

***

"So why did you let him eat with you? You usually drive away anyone that try to eat with you at the same table."

"He is a bit interesting." Adam said to Alex.

"Interesting?"

"You have heard from him that i almost punch him yesterday right?"

"Yeah, what about it?"

"He told you that he almost got punched by me. Its 'almost' because he can withstand my punch."

"You're joking. Are you gettin weak these day?"

"Of course not. I'm holding back my strength after all. Also, instead of withstanding, it should be he can block my punch. With one hand at that." Adam explained.

"No way. Even if you're holding back, your punch its not a joke. Everybody only know that you're a Judo champion, but i know that you train another style too to join mixed-martial arts league later."

"Thats why i said he was interesting. I plan to fight him later before i join the league."

"He looks ordinary to me. Anyway, tell me later when you decide when to have a fight with him. Who knows maybe he can beat your ass later" Alex teased.

"Get lost you sloth!" Adam shouted.
