Chapter 9: Chapter 9 - Beating up a Gang
At this time, Jake has just arrived at Ousei Academy to formally enroll.
Congratulations on your enrollment Jake," Tsukasa Houjou congratulates Jake.
"There are a great many things I wish to discuss with you today, but sadly, my schedule demands it has to wait till later, so forgive me," Tsukasa apologises.
"But before you head out, I will leave you with this, I want you to enjoy your life here," Tsukasa finished saying.

"Okay everyone, take your seats, once again this is Jake Gojo, and he will be joining our class long term, you already know him from his trial enrollment, but keep playing nice, understood," Ms Sawada said to the class.
Jake looked up and saw Ryou winking at him, Shingo waving at him with a smile, and Yukine slightly smiling at him.
"He's still getting the lay of the land, so help him out if he needs any," Ms Sawada finished saying.

Some time has passed and the class is playing football. Right now Ryou has the ball, and is dribbling it around him, easily weaving through the other teams defense, before shooting the ball amidst the shouts of the other team, with the ball crashing into the net, scoring a goal.
"Ryou's quite talented, Shingo wasn't joking, if Ryou decided to practise only one sport, he would almost certainly become a top athlete," Jake said to himself, before noticing a red haired girl with well endowed assets, and a cute face.
The girl replied to Jake even when he didn't ask her, saying, "I know right, I mean the guys on his side are fine and all, but you can tell the other team is crumbling."
"So are you just going to sit here and watch?"
"Yeah, I would love to play, however my gym clothes haven't arrived yet, and while I would be fine playing just in these clothes, they will probably rip if I flex my muscles a little," Jake replied, as even when he has relaxed his muscles as much as possible, the school uniform is close to it's maximum flex and is extremely close to breaking.
"You are?" Jake asked the girl.
"Sorry, guess we haven't talked yet," The girl apologised while sitting down on the stairs next to Jake.
"My name is Kaede Kazuma, it's nice to meet you" She introduced herself while winking.
"Same here, Kaede, if I can call you that, it's a good game huh," Jake responded to her.
"Yeah, you can just call me Kaede," She replied.
At this time on the field, Ryou has been blocked by the whole opposite team.
"Well Ryou, can't get past all of us," One of the players on the opposite team said to Ryou.
"Your right, but I don't need to," Ryou responded, before dribbling the ball behind his back and passing it to one of his teammates behind him.
The teammate controlled the ball with his chest, before volleying the ball to a handsome boy with average height and yellow hair.
The yellow haired boy dribbled the ball down the pitch, running to the other side. He booted the ball while saying, "You all should feel honoured, for you are about to witness my ultra special move."
The ball went the wrong way, as it started flying to where Jake and Kaede are chatting, aimed right at Kaede's head.
Ryou yelled, "Akira, where are you kicking the ball!"
Jake and Kaede noticed it as Kaede started screaming in fright. Jake leaped up, before belting the ball, kicking it by turning on his side.
The ball zoomed and instantly went from the end of one side of the pitch, into the goal on the other side of the pitch. The ball rapidly spun against the net without falling for about 3 seconds, as a little bit of smoke came from the mesh of the net.
"His moves, they're insane!" Exclaimed Ryou, as Jake fell to the ground, landing steadily on his feet.
Jake turned towards Kaede and asked her, "Are you alright, you're not hurt, are you?"
"Ah, um, yes, I am alive," Kaede answered in a daze and flustered.
"That's good, it wouldn't be good if you hurt your beautiful face," Jake sighed with relief, as he said something easy to be misunderstood without realising it.
Jake stretched his hand out to her, asking, "Can you stand, do you need help to get up?"
"Uh, yeah, I can stand," Kaede replied, while grabbing Jake's outstretched hand.
"I'm sorry a million times over!" Exclaimed the blonde haired boy called Akira, as he prostrated himself before the two.
"My apologies my lovely maiden, I have done you a great disservice!" Akira continued to apologise.
"It's alright, you see I'm not injured at all," Kaede forgave him.
Akira lifted his head while asking, "Then you forgive me?"
He then bowed his head again, saying, "I will serve you to the end of my days!"
"What, I don't think I will like that," Kaede said slightly embarrassed.
"Argh, damn!" Akira exclaimed, as Ryou and Shingo came up to Jake.
Ryou said to Jake, "Take my word for it, he's not a bad guy, but as you can see he's a bit quirky, it might take a while to get used to him, but I hope you'll both be friends, no pressure."
"You there, you saved the both of us, I am grateful," Akira thanked Jake.
"It's alright, no one got hurt," Jake responded.
"You won't have everyone's names memorised yet, so allow me, I'm Akira Ichinose, when they speak of the Young Noble of Ousei, they mean me," Akira introduced himself to Jake.
"Huh, that's the first time I've heard of it," Ryou said to Akira.
"Now you're just being mean Ryou," Akira responded.
"I've never heard of it either," Shingo also said to Akira.
"What, seriously?" Akira said with dismay.
"Yeah," Ryou responded.
Jake started laughing at the fun interaction, with Kaede following soon after.
"Then what about the Ousei Shooting Star?" Akira continued hopeful.
"What about it?" Ryou asked, teasing Akira.
As they continued to go back and forth, Ryou asked Akira in disbelief, "Just how many names do you have?"

Some time has passed, in the girl's changing room, the girls are talking about Jake and his amazing feat.
Kaori came into the changing room saying, "Sounds like Jake did something impressive?"
"Kaori, listen to this, you know that hunk who just transferred here, he saved my life!" Kaede said to Kaori with enthusiasm.
"You should have been there, during the break we were watching the boys play soccer and the ball came flying towards me, and I was like Wow, it's so gonna hit me no question right, but Jake went, pow, saving my face and scoring too!" Kaede explained badly while making large hand movements.
"I'm sorry, one more time?" Kaori asked confused.
Yukine responded to explain, saying, "The ball went heading towards Kaede's head, and Jake kicked it away into the goal, even though it's on the opposite side of the field."
"So that's what happened," Kaori confirmed.
After they chatted for a while longer, a black haired girl with her hair in a ponytail, said, "Any guy that cool most likely has a girlfriend already."
"With his looks, he absolutely does," A random girl continued.
"I wonder who's lucky enough to be his?" Another girl asked.
"We don't know that he has one yet!" Kaori and Kaede exclaimed.
"So, we don't have hard evidence that he's dating, but come on girls let's be real," The girl with her hair in a ponytail said.
"For sure, he's got to be taken," A random girl whined.

Some more time has passed and Jake is in the classroom, during a lesson.
Jake looked outside the window and saw Kaori waving at him. He waved back before noticing many fast approaching figures, aiming straight at the school gate.
The figures barged into the gate, busting it open while continuing to go inside the school. The figures were a bunch of delinquents holding blunt weapons like metal bats, brass knuckles, etc.
The delinquents quickly drove their bikes and surrounded Kaori's class still on the ground.
"Everyone, begin your self study, don't step out of this room," The teacher teaching Jake's class told them, before rushing to the school gate to protect the students.
Jake was calm, however the rest of the class wasn't.
Back at the school gate, the teachers are trying to diffuse the situation and get the delinquents to leave.
"We demand you get off the campus," One of the teachers told the delinquents.
"What are the Red Ogres doing out here?" One of Jake's classmates asked.
"Who are the Red Ogres?" Another of Jake's classmates asked.
The classmate who knew something about the Red Ogres, said, "From what I have heard, they are the most dangerous group of delinquents in the area."
"It doesn't make sense for them to be here though," A girl in Jake's class said.
"Whatever business you have at our academy, state it now, unfortunately our school chairman won't be able to meet you," Kaori told the Red Ogres.
"Hey this has got to be the one you mentioned?" One of the delinquents asked behind him. Behind the delinquent is the group of 3 ruffians that were harassing Kaori when Jake first met her.
"That's right, it's pretty obvious that she's this school's chairman's daughter," One of the ruffians said.
"I know you three," Kaori said.
"Oh, how kind," One of the ruffians replied.
"I would like to know what compelled you to be terrorising our school?" Kaori asked.
"Since you would like to know, we just want to invite you to have a drink, and also kill the person who saved you!" Another of the ruffians replied excitedly.
"The police would arrive shortly, I suggest you all leave immediately," Kaori sternly replied.
"It doesn't matter, it will take time for them to get here even if you called as soon as this happened," The same ruffian replied.
"Let's kidnap the girl and leave," One of the delinquents said.
After Jake heard this, he opened the window and jumped out of the classroom, startling Ryou, Shingo, Kaede, and Yukine. As he quickly reached the ground and landed steadily, he dashed at the closest delinquent, giving them a gut punch, before going to the next one.
At this moment Kaori got grabbed by her arm, as Jake had dispatched 6 delinquents already. Jake picked up one of the delinquents weapons, which was a wooden katana.
Jake dashed at the delinquents, slashing them, piercing them, and cutting them, as he dispatched them extremely quickly, defeating half of them in 30 seconds.
In front of Jake appeared a huge man, Jake threw the katana at another delinquent knocking him out, as he flew up giving the huge delinquent a knee to the jaw, before elbowing him to the side of the face, lifting the huge man off his feet, and knocking him out.
After the rest of the delinquents saw the huge man getting knocked out, they froze in fear of Jake, as his uniform ripped, showing extremely well built muscles, 12 pack abs, and a perfect physique. Jake went up to Kaori, making sure she is safe, as he noticed a delinquent revving his motorcycle up, before trying to run him over.
Jake quickly dodged the motorcycle, before clotheslining him, knocking him out. Jake told the rest of the delinquents to not move, or he would knock them out.
After about 15 minutes, the police came, arresting all the Red Ogres, and the 3 ruffians, with the excitement coming to a close.
"Thank you for saving my life Jake," Kaori thanked Jake for saving her life.
"It's okay, are you not hurt?" Jake asked Kaori concerned.
Kaori began to fall to the ground, as Jake lifted her up before she hit the ground.
"Alright, let's get back to our lessons," One of the teachers told the students, with the other teachers helping to stop the students from coming too close to the area the delinquents are.

At this time, school has ended, and Jake is surrounded by Kaori, Ryou, Shingo, Kaede, Yukine.
Ryou put his arm around Jake's neck, saying, "Man, I knew you were awesome when we first met, but I didn't know that you were this awesome!"
As the crowd kept congratulating Jake, he felt extremely happy, and was very grateful for his choice to go to this school.
