Chapter 7: #7 - Street Fight
The boy, who I'm going to call white hair, was getting beaten up by three people, A boy younger than me, one around my age, and one older than me. So 10, 12 and 14 years old
And unfortunately Hamon isn't like magic, I can't just have a mental breakdown and summon a really powerful magic that makes them dissappear. This is not a fantasy world.
I think I could take either the 2 young boys, or the older one.
Hmm, There's not much time, so I should think about that later.
Using all the power of my stealth and a bit of assasination i hit the back of the neck of the middle boy as hard as i could.
He fell down Inmediatly, but so did my stealth.
"What?!"
"Dude, what's wro-?!, Who goes there?!"
I was spotted, but now it was a 2v1 instead of a 3v1.
I try to back off.
But my coat was grabbed by the oldest, and to my left, the youngest tried to kick me in the stomach.
I block it with my left arm, but the impact almost took my breath out.
With my right leg I kick the side of his face, almost missing since i was getting tugged by the oldest.
I make some distance, and as I do...
*Smack*
I take a punch to my neck.
'Shit!'
I think my breath is escaping.
Pushing through the pain and the incredible discomfort.
I realize that it actually wasn't that painful, more like a middle bother, like biting your tongue.
It's just something you can push through, getting punched by Dio was way worse.
He tries to do a roundhouse to my leg, but i retreat before he can.
"What's wrong?, Rethinking your actions now?"
Instead of answering, I take my time to breath in and out.
He said that but i can see how he's getting nervous, two of his friends got quickly defeated and a hit to the neck, everyone's weak point, didn't really do anything.
I take a deep breath...
*Inhale*
...and i lunge in, too quickly for he to react.
He puts his hand to his torso, but that's not where i was aiming at.
He left his most important part open.
That's right.
I spin a little, and i kick him direclty on the balls.
To my surprise, in his face there's a wicked smile.
Oh, a trap.
A clasp-like sound ringes out.
*catch*
Oh man.
He easily lifts me by the leg and...
"Hragh!"
Grunts as i knee him in the face with my other leg.
Still he doesn't let go and...
*Crash*
He throws me to the ground...
And...
Inmediately falls on his butt, his legs trembling, his eyes wavering and finally...
*thud*
...falls on his back.
"Hell yeah"
Apparently that grab took more of him than i thought, plus a direct knee to the face isn't just something you can just disregard like that.
You know what you can't diregard either?
Getting thrown to the ground by someone 2 years older than me
"Ughhh..."
Age usually doesn't play a factor in fights, but 12 years old is pre-growth spurt, 14 is after that, or at least, during.
Still, Burning spirit isn't there for nothing.
I get up, my back burning and in pain, to look around for the purpose of my crusade.
"Wait, did he left?"
No way, after all of that...
Oh wait, he's just hiding behind the boxes.
'Boxes?, Again?, Seriously where do this things come from?'
Dumb thoughts aside, I go to talk to him, with all the elegance that i can. I ask him.
"Are you fine?"
"..."
Is he mute?, That wouldn't be weird, getting bullied for a disability isn't out of the question.
"...yes"
He isn't, great.
"Good, what's your name?, Shouldn't you be going to your house?"
He stares at me, with a bit of fear, awe, and...
Hmm, that's weird, It's something I can't really put a finger on
Anxiousness?, Anger?, Hatred?...
Whatever. I should just help him.
"...i should get going" he mumbles, almost inaudibly.
"Ok, let me tag along"
"it's not really necessary..."
"I'm not doing it because it's necessary, I'm doing it because i want to"
He stares at me, a little bewildered. I continue:
"If you don't want me following you, then run faster than me"
"..."
He doesn't answer, but just walks along with me.
I don't try to make conversation because he might get more uncomfortable.
But as we get close to his house (A nice house, coming from someone who now lives in a mansion)
I stop briefly and i ask him.
"Hey, what's your name?"
He hestitates but he decides quickly. A bit of determination on his eyes.
"...my name is...."
"What's that?"
"...jack"
"Alright Jack, it was nice meeting you, take care"
"..you too"
I see him enter and I finally leave.
'Alright, that was my nice action of the day'

Woooooooooo.
Not bad, not bad at all.
While i probably won't be able to use this tickets to claim something usefull yet, if i pile them up, maybe i could eventually get the saint's corpse parts with this.
Even more, the red stone of aja, the stand arrow, the requiem arrow, and even other things.
Hell, if they pile up i could just wish for dumb stuff, like a...
Wait, can I summon things from other universes?
Can i summon... I don't know an infinity stone?
Probably not.
But i could summon... interesting stuff.
Like those infinite storage pouches people have in magic fantasy.
Hmm, more on that later.
Anyways i should examine this after getting to the mansion.
Is Jojo searching for me? Or is he still with Erina?
Either way it doesn't seem like there is nothing to do around here.
Whatever, I'll go back to the mansion and do anything else...
...What do kids do in this Era?
