Oh my god.
He wasn't lying.
There was no way for the weak to survive in this place without giving up their butt to someone stronger.
I sat at a table in the corner of the dining hall, staring blankly at the mess in front of me. Dai was sitting beside me… or at least his body was. He didn't look fully present. Whatever Yuzuru had done to him had scrambled his head badly—he just drooled at his tray, eyes unfocused, staring into nothing holding a spoon...Yuzuru sat at the far end of the chair, quietly chuckling at my reaction
The two inmates i came with ,the bald snitch and the poor dwarf was now sitting on the lap of some huge bald guy.
One of them was kissing him.
And the dwarf was licking his nipple.
The table they were in was filled with bad , hard looking guys they were staring at the giant bald guy who probably their leader intently
my god…are they waiting for their turns ?!!
I screamed in my head as
Fear crawled up my spine, and for once, it was completely justified.
If I didn't have Yuzuru nearby—
No he wasn't very near… if I didn't even have the broken, half-conscious Dai sitting next to me—
They would've already come for me.
As if he'd noticed me stare, the bald guy glanced at me.
For a brief second, his eyes lingered
then he winked.
My entire body jolted in reflex, a sharp shiver running down my spine, like something cold had crawled beneath my skin.
Yuzuru whistled, resting his head on his hand. A shit-eating grin spread across his face.
"So? You're not going to him?" he said mockingly. "This is your chance. Today's Thursday, and the karate guy didn't show up."
He chuckled.
"If you go to him after I leave, he might think you're a whore. Hah."
What was wrong with this guy?
I frowned at him.
That reaction only made his grin widen.
"If I weren't here," he said, casually pointing at the two of them, completely ignoring the hostile glares from the guys he's pointing at, "where do you think you'd be ? Between those two?"
He let out a crude laugh. "Maybe on your knees."
…Yeah. This was getting disgusting.
Tang. Tang. Tang.
The sharp clang of something hard striking metal echoed through the entire hall, snapping every head toward the source.
At the entrance stood two officers. One had his baton pressed against the iron door, the metal still vibrating from the impact, while the other stood beside him with arms crossed.
"Alright, everyone," one of them barked. "Lunch time's over. Weekly exercises everyone move...come on come on"he said tapping his baton on the door
The other officer stepped forward, his face twisted with rage as he saw the bald guy act with his harem "If I find even a trace of semen or shit on the properties " he roared at the top of his lungs, "I'll personally castrate every last one of you worthless fags!!!!"
"Well, you do look like someone who enjoys touching men's balls hahah."
"W-what?! Who said that?!"
Thank God they came.
I let out a breath I hadn't realized I was holding. I couldn't stand being in this… suffocating homosexual space a second longer.
Relief washed over me as I exhaled.
…Wait.
Wasn't the schedule strange? Eating, then immediately heading straight into training?
Meh i dont care
_____________
I sat on the thin, foamy mat, legs crossed.
Dai was behind me, sitting far too close, his chin resting on top of my head. Warm drool seeped down onto my forehead. I grimaced and wiped it away with the back of my hand.
Yuzuru stood nearby, his back against the wall, posture relaxed.
"I still don't get it," I said, flicking my fingers to get rid of Dai's saliva. "What's so special about this karate master? Japan's filled with karate schools as far as i know"
Yuzuru swept his hair back with his right hand, his left buried in his pocket. His expression didn't change.
"Because I'm banned from the only two schools that actually teach real karate," he said flatly. "And I heard the techniques this one uses were designed to kill."
He glanced at me from the corner of his eye.
"That suits me just fine."
Then the hall gate swung open, pushed aside by that narrow-eyed officer, followed closely by a man wearing tight gym clothes that clung to his frame.
"Yang-chan, I need to pee," Dai said as he stood up, clutching himself and tapping his feet on the floor.
"It's fine," I replied, giving his back a light slap. "You can just piss yourself."
" b-but everyone is gonna laugh at me " he whined
"Alright! Everyone, get into position!" the narrow-eyed officer barked. "Line up in two rows!"His gaze then dropped to Dai, who was standing right in front of Yang.
His eyes showed a hint of confusion then changed back immediately
_____________
Everyone stood in two rows.
Yuzuru was on Yang's right.
On his left stood the hollow-eyed dwarf.
Behind Yang was Dai, still clutching his crotch, tears pooling in his eyes.
"Dai, please don't pee. Try to hold it," Yang said, glancing back at him.
"But you said it was okay?" Dai whimpered.
"I said it was okay when you weren't standing behind me," Yang replied flatly.
"You're the one who chose to hold it."
"Ooooh, Yang-chan, you're so mean…"
As if feeling a twinge of guilt, Yang turned his head back to him.
"Listen… just bear with it a little longer, okay?"
"Mhm."
Dai nodded quietly.
"He's here."
Yuzuru nudged Yang with his elbow, then pointed toward the door.
Yang turned his head to where he was pointing.
"Pfft…"
There stood a short, bald guy—his head barely reaching the officer's shoulder. His hands were shackled, and his eyes were crossed
I clamped a hand over my mouth, stopping myself from laughing and getting into trouble, then turned my head down my left side to the hollow-eyed dwarf sitting beside me.
Poor guy.
Getting his ass taken probably scrambled his brain.
"Is that your dad?" I whispered, trying to lighten the mood.
He didn't answer.
He only turned his head—slowly—until his eyes locked onto mine.
I immediately raised both hands. "My bad. Just joking."
The officer released the karate guy from his shackles.
Then he stepped in front of us, yawning, stretching his arms
"Alright, alright. Let's begin. Sanchin-dachi," he said.
Sanchin… what?
" ousss ! "The moment the words left his mouth, everyone moved as one.
Fists clenched tight and drawn in close, elbows pinned near their ribs. Toes angled slightly inward, knees bent and pushed outward, bodies rooted to the floor
The master glanced at me
"Ah—new ones. Just copy the others. Now, chūdan seiken tsuki."
Everyone threw a straight punch to mid-torso height.
The fist shot forward in a clean, direct line, knuckles leading. The shoulder stayed relaxed as the other hand snapped back hard to the hip
" O–oss?" I tried to mimic them as best I could.
I thought I was doing fine—until I bent my knees.
My legs tangled, my toes twisted, and a sharp, blinding pain shot up from my lower body, dropping me flat on the ground.
"What… the—?"
Laughter erupted around me.
"Ooh, princess forgot how to use her legs!"
"Someone died to this guy? what a joke "
" lets rape him "
Everyone turned their gaze toward whoever said that
It was Yuzuru
" what ? "He shrugged
" tsk "
I forced myself back up—only to stop halfway when I found the master standing right in front of me.
"What's wrong?" he asked. "Why aren't you following the others?"
"You talking to me?" I pointed at myself. His eyes were crossed enough that I honestly couldn't tell.
"No. Him." He pointed past me, at Dai, who was doubled over, clutching himself.
"Why isn't he following the others?"
I tilted my head. "You talking to me?"
The master frowned. "Not you."
Then—
" aaaaaah ~ " dai moaned followed by a sound Similar to the roar of a waterfall—
A sudden burst of liquid sprayed from Dai's lower body, tearing his pants and splashing straight onto the master's face.
For half a minute it kept goin
Every mouth dropped open.
The room froze.
The master slowly wiped his face with his sleeve, his expression unreadable. Then, calmly, he turned and walked toward the officer by the door—who looked just as stunned as the rest of us.
"Lesson cancelled," the master said evenly.
"Same time next week."
Then their gazes shifted to the body on the floor.
Yang was lying there, face pressed against the ground yellow liquid dripping from his hair
"Is he alive?" one of them asked.
There was a brief pause.
No im not
To the next life we go, I guess.
