"What on earth do you two think you're doing?" Todoka demanded, his voice seething with anger.
Hanae and Hisashi stood frozen, their eyes wide with disbelief as they stared at Todoka.
Todoka, his anger palpable, began advancing towards them with determined strides. In response, Hisashi instinctively took a step back, his face etched with fear. As Todoka closed the distance, Hanae swiftly stepped in front of Hisashi, positioning herself as a protective barrier.
"What the fuk do you think you're doing?" Todoka demanded again, his voice laced with fury.
"Stay back; it's none of your concern," Hanae retorted, her tone resolute as she stood firm between Todoka and Hisashi.
"Not my concern?" Todoka roared. "You know I love you, and you love me too!" he shouted, his voice filled with desperation.
Hisashi's eyes widened in shock at the revelation, while Hanae's expression darkened with anger.
With frustration in her voice, Hanae began to shout, "I nev—" but was abruptly cut off by a stinging slap across her face from Todoka.
Hanae fell to the ground, visibly hurt. As Hisashi rushed to her side, Todoka intercepted him, grabbing him by the collar and halting his advance.
Todoka's gaze burned with intense anger as he stared down at Hisashi. Meanwhile, Hisashi stood frozen, his face a mixture of confusion and fear.
"You bastard!" Todoka snarled through gritted teeth. "Prepare yourself, because I'm about to rip you piece by piece." With a furious motion, Todoka delivered a vicious headbutt to Hisashi's nose. Blood sprayed from the impact as Hisashi staggered backward, collapsing onto the ground and clutching his face. Blood seeped through his fingers as he struggled to contain the pain.
Todoka, consumed by rage, assumed a fighting stance, his eyes blazing with fury as he fixed his gaze on Hisashi.
With a note of urgency in his voice, Hisashi began, “Listen, Todoka, it’s not what you think. She was just—”
“Shut it!” Todoka screamed, advancing menacingly towards Hisashi. “Get up and fight me like a man!” he roared. Meanwhile, Hisashi began to crawl backward, his face a portrait of fear.
Todoka swung his foot in a vicious kick aimed at stomping Hisashi, but Hisashi narrowly evaded the blow by moving aside, quickly rising to his feet. "I'm sorry, Todoka, please believe me, it's not what you think," he pleaded desperately, his voice filled with anguish.
"Shut your mouth!" Todoka roared in rage, swinging a powerful punch that landed brutally on Hisashi's face who goes staggering backward, his nose shattered and with blood streaming down it.
With a swift motion, Todoka delivered a devastating punch to Hisashi’s abdomen, causing him to gasp and blood to spill from his mouth. Todoka continued to rain blows down on Hisashi's face, who could only endure the relentless assault, helpless and battered.
Hanae slowly opened her eyes, and as she glanced over, her gaze widened in horror at the sight of Todoka mercilessly assaulting Hisashi.
Hanae sprang to her feet and rushed toward them, grasping Todoka's arm in a desperate attempt to halt the assault. However, Todoka wrenched his arm free and he pivoted to face Hanae, delivering a vicious punch that struck her squarely in the face. Blood splattered from her mouth as she crumpled to the ground, motionless.
Hisashi's eyes widened in shock as he saw Hanae being punched. His own bloodied and bruised face was etched with stunned silence as he stared at her in disbelief.
Hanae lay on the ground, blood seeping from her mouth and a bruise swelling on her cheek. Todoka stared at her motionless form with unrestrained fury. "I'm going to finish you, you bitch" he declared, his voice dripping with malice as he began to advance toward her.
Suddenly, Hisashi unleashed a roar of fury. As Todoka turned to face him, he saw Hisashi rushing toward him. Hisashi crashed his shoulder into Todoka's abdomen, driving him backward and away from Hanae with a powerful shove.
Todoka roared in response and began unleashing a flurry of brutal elbow strikes to the back of Hisashi.
Hisashi, though determined, felt his grip and strength waning. Todoka yanked him up by the hair, forcing him to stand upright. He then unleashed a rapid series of devastating punches to Hisashi's face, who could only endure the assault helplessly. Blood splattered wildly around them with each brutal blow.
Hanae regained consciousness and, upon witnessing Todoka's brutal assault on Hisashi, her concern deepened, and she began to cry. Summoning her remaining strength, she staggered to her feet and sprinted toward Todoka’s friends. Without hesitation, she dropped to her knees at the feet of the closest one.
“Please, stop him!” Hanae begged through her sobs. “He’ll kill him! Please, I’m begging you, stop him!” Her desperate cries echoed through the area, but the boys remained unmoved, smiling.
Todoka, undeterred, swung a ruthless punch to Hisashi’s ribs, eliciting a pained cry from him.
With flawless precision, Todoka leaped and delivered a devastating kick straight to Hisashi's face, the reverberation echoing throughout the arena.
Hisashi slammed headfirst into the ground, blood spraying from his mouth, ears, and eyes, sending a chill down the spines of Hanae and Todoka's friends
Hisashi, now numb to the pain, showed no emotion. Todoka, seething with rage, turned his fierce gaze toward Hanae. "It's your turn now," he declared, his voice cold and menacing, as he began advancing toward her.
Hanae, terrified, stared at Todoka in disbelief, her fear evident. Todoka's friends, who had been smiling, suddenly shifted to expressions of shock and disbelief. Hanae's own eyes widened in astonishment.
Todoka looked bewildered as he turned around to see Hisashi defiantly standing on his feet.
Despite clutching his abdomen with one arm, blood staining his mouth and ears, and his eyes partially closed, Hisashi staggered forward with a determined step. “Don’t you dare go near Hanae,” he declared, his voice strained but resolute.
Todoka’s rage surged to its peak as he lunged toward Hisashi with murderous intent. Hanae watched in stunned silence, her face etched with deep concern.
Upon nearing, Todoka leaped into the air and delivered a crushing kick directly to Hisashi's skull.
Hisashi's head slammed brutally into the ground upon impact, causing more blood to spray from his mouth and his eyes to roll upwards in agony.
Everyone stood in stunned silence, their eyes fixed on Hisashi's motionless form. Todoka remained in his fighting stance, his anger still palpable. He then straightened up, spat on Hisashi, and sneered, “This is what you deserve.” Smiling triumphantly, he turned away, only to hear something fall to the ground behind him.
With a look of confusion, Todoka turned back to see the same beggar standing there. The beggar’s bag had fallen to the ground, spilling a few scattered coins, some dust-covered bread, and a few apples.
