Chapter 12 : Friend or Foe! [1/3]

"What's his relation with Nejire Sempai?"

As Mahi followed them with keen interest. Mahi followed them until it was almost the end of lunchtime. Mahi lost sight of them, was looking around. Suddenly…..!

Thud-

Someone backhanded Mahi, he fell on his face. One of his teeth slipped out of his lips.

"Gosh! That hurts!" 

The moment he was about to cry…

"Good Morning"

With a smile on his face, putting his hands on the pocket Neji looked at Mahi.

With that silver hair and crystal-like blue eyes, Mahi recognizes it's that boy who was with Nejire.

Before anything else came into Mahi's head, his mind was sure that this boy had a bad intention to his Nejire sempai. ' I need to protect Nejire Sempai! '

He sighed. "You know you should not just charge at people like that. I don't think we have ever met before."

'He's arrogant! Forget it, I need to save Nejire Sempai from this boy.'

Mahi kept glaring at Neji. abruptly, a part of his hair turned ash-gray-almost as if he had just become an old man.

Mahi didn't want to be called a freak this soon.

-An ice spike came out of his hand, flying toward Neji's face. That he dodged swiftly.

"On, Ice quirk.Interesting."

After some silence, he spoke. "Tell me, Mahi-Kun…Mahi. What is it that you need from me? You don't seem like a bully, they usually have lackeys…in fact, you're the opposite."

Mahi seems a bit surprised that he knows his name.

"What is your relation with Nejire sempai?"

He flashed a smile. "Very interesting question."

He made a thinking pose. "Well, we eat together, we shower together…we sleep together…we fu-"

Mahi couldn't control his anger after hearing things about the idol he admired most.

 A punch flew toward Neji, which he evaded by taking a step back.

"You Bastard!"

Mahi got up and rushed toward Neji, this time all of his hair, along with his eyes, turned blue, Glowing blue.

Ice came out of his feet as he skated. Leaped toward Neji, his knuckles covered in spiky ice. His fist rushed toward Neji's.

'Why isn't he moving! If he stands still like that he'd-'

A red flash came out of Neji's earrings - At the same time, Mahi stopped in his tracks, unable to move.

He couldn't move!

"The ice-quirk user 'froze', isn't that ironic?"

Mahi has a confused look on his face. ' Telekinesis?'

Neji was busy with his own business. 

Mahi can feel pressure on his throat. Is he trying to kill him!?

"- Cough…F-free me!"

Mahi kept growling that brought Neji to come back to his senses - Causing Mahi to drop down on the ground.

Mahi glared at Neji while coughing.

"Your quirk…?"

"Kind of." 🙄

He shook his head. "You know, If you had just focused on our names, you would have realized the relation between me and her..."

How would Mahi know his name, when he slept for the whole time.

"What is your name?"

With Neji's deadpanned look. "You mean…you attacked me without knowing my Fucking name…?is this joke?"

This wasn't a joke, Mahi was serious.

"Listen, kid, don't disturb me after this. And here I thought This was serious…?"

The boy was about to leave. Mahi wanted to ask again 'what is his name?' But didn't dare to. He's too powerful for him. Suddenly~

"Neji…?" 

A familiar voice, its Nejire.

Her slightly Surprised expression changed to a frowning one - She yanked his ear hard.

"You brat, fighting on the first day of school? Is this what our parents taught us?"

"Hey! Mom said…"

"I don't want to hear any excuses! Apologize! Now!" Nejire looked strictly at Neji, her hand resting on her waist.

"Can't you hear me ?"

"Fine!"

Neji looked at Mahi, Flashing a smile. "Sorry for…bothering you."

Nejire narrowed her eyes, "Hm…Good." 

Nejire glanced at Mahi, smiled apologetically. "Sorry for my brother. Please go to the nurse's chamber, She will help you get healed." 

"Brother~" 😧

"Okay Neji, Let's go. The bell is about to ring."

Mahi saw them going to the school building. 

Neji asked Nejire. "Hey, do you know that kid? He seemed to know you."

Nejire answered she didn't. That made Mahi make a puppy face.

Neji turned back and saw the sheer shocking face of Mahi…Poor Guy.

Mahi looked into them, entering the school building.

"They don't look like siblings at all…!"
