It was a calm winter night.
The occasional barking of faraway dogs was breaking the silence of the surroundings.
A girl came out to take a walk. She was unfamiliar with the surrounding area. Knowing martial arts, coupled with a Swiss knife in her pocket, she decided to choose a quiet road. Although it was cold outside, her white-colored hoodie was enough to keep her warm. She was walking quietly until she heard the sound of footsteps…
She looked everywhere but found nothing. "I am sure there is someone," she whispered. Even if it was a faint sound, she heard it. When she was passing by a construction site, once again, she heard that sound. This time it was a sound as if someone was carefully taking steps, like the ninja fighters in the action movies.
To save herself from the intruder, she went inside the building to hide. Her white hoodie was shining because of the moonlight, making it difficult to hide. Thus, taking benefit of her short height, she hid behind the big wooden plank.
Once again there was the sound of footsteps but now it was not of one person but a group. She guessed that these people must be here to find that one person.
From a small peephole in the plank, the girl saw the gang caught the person. Soon a fight started between them. The person was holding a gun and that group had weapons like knives and rods. That person didn't use the gun, as if it wasn't necessary to win this fight.
Her eyes widened as she witnessed the whole fight. The tall man with the gun was standing straight, pressing his foot on the man's hand who was lying on the ground. That tall man was wearing a silver mask. Even if having a tall physique, he was a bit thin and his aura was enough to scare the opponent to their wits. His eyes were cold as ice.
He stared at them and said, "Still want to fight?" The leader of that gang said, "Child, don't mess with us. I promise if you cooperate with us, I will leave you. Don't you want to prepare for your entrance exam?"
What?
Entrance exam?
That masked man is a high school student?
How can a senior high school student have such an aura!
The girl was shocked by the realization.
"None of your business," the tall man replied as if the gang leader was like a small bug. The gang leader smirked and soon the fight started, this time all the gang members attacked him. To their dismay, he knocked out those remaining four people.
Looking at the people on the ground, he smirked, "Useless creatures," and looked at the dark passage which was probably the secret exit in that place.
He stopped abruptly when he was leaving.
The girl jerked back and held her breath, afraid of getting discovered.
But the scene was different. He stopped and was about to fall, but held the pillar and sat down, clutching his leg tightly. Blood was oozing out from the wound as the cloth that was tied loosened.
Something inside the girl was telling her to help him... Without further ado, she came out to help him.
He was startled by a girl's sudden appearance. The girl in front of him was in a white hoodie, looking like a white plushie. She was short, her shoulder-length brown hair, milky white skin, and spectacle on her nose were the perfect match for the look.
Suppressing her fear, she squatted down and gave him her handkerchief hesitantly, "H-Here, take this and tie. Also..." the girl stopped and wondered if it was appropriate to tell him, "Don't go to that side. There is a black car hidden behind the parking area. It may be dangerous."
He was still looking at her without blinking. For some reason, she found him handsome and a bit familiar although he was wearing a mask. He was looking at her as if she caught him red-handed.
When she was about to leave that place, he said quickly, "Thank you".
Those words were enough to make her blush. She ran from that place with light footsteps, without looking back.
Coming out of that place, she went further to check about that car. It was still there and there were people still inside the car. She was about to return, to tell him about that car and to see if he was ok or not, suddenly a boy caught her, "What are you doing here?"
"Brother Lufan!" the girl exclaimed.
The boy had a tall thin physique and sharp eyes. He held her hand and they both came out of that building. Meanwhile, they saw the people in the black car come out and rush inside the building. The boy named Brother Lufan stopped as if contemplating whether to go inside or not.
After going at a certain distance, the girl noticed, "What happened brother Lufan? And why are you limping? Are you hurt somewhere?". He was startled, "Nothing, I just fell while coming here because of darkness. Let's go home. Your parents are waiting for you." Even if he smiled at her, she saw that something was bothering him. There was sadness, fear, and uncertainty in his eyes.
She was thinking about these incidents, suddenly a man came in front of them. He was 6' ft tall and had the aura of a leader. His face was hidden behind the tall upward collars of his overcoat...
"And rest we will continue in the next lecture, that's it for today."
Huh?????
