Y/N's PoV :
Right now, I'm standing in front of the protagonist of this story, Takemichi Hanagaki, was it? He was trembling because him and his group of friends have just gotten a beating from some dude named Kiyomasa I guess. I mean, that's what the other bastards in the group called him.
I frowned. This guy left the town or something after this incident, leaving behind his girlfriend and friends. That was the stupidest decision anyone can make to be honest. I mean, when you have so many people by your side, so many people who care about you, shouldn't you work hard enough so that you can face your problems and stay by their sides? Well, I'm glad he had his development.
"Do you know who I am?" I asked grimly. Today wasn't the best for me alright. My father literally tore apart the homework that I worked so hard on. This is my last year at school and I need good grades to get into a good college. It's not like I don't have other ways but I just want to make my mother, grandparents and friends proud. And my sister, uncle and aunt of course.
"You're scaring him, Y/N." Oshiko's voice was soft and gentle as the sea breeze. She had a tensed look on her face as she looked at the wounds on the boys.
Meanwhile, the boys were busy blushing because of the beautiful blond haired girl in front of them. I glared at them and sensing my glare, they finches and looked away. Perverts.
"Oshiko, please go and wait for me. I'll be joining you soon enough." I turned my attention the the group once she was gone. "We need to talk." This made them gulp.
"First things first, you guys better keep it in your pants." They nodded hastily. "And secondly, you guys will con with me to Toman's meeting place." Their eyes widened as I mentioned the infamous Toman.
"A- are you a member of T- Toman?" The one with red hair stuttered. I sighed loudly.
"No, but I'm close with them." Their eyes widened. "And this is a way in which I am giving you protection from that dude."
"B- but how can we-" I stopped the boy with glasses by raising my hand. They went still.
"You guys are pathetic and weak." They flinched at my harsh words. "But I am giving you a choice. Either you join Toman and become strong enough to face your problems or you run away like cowards and ruin your life. It's your choice."
Well, I guess I overdid it because I know their future, the ways in which their stories will end. But whatever. I can think of a different way if this doesn't work out. But considering that Takemichi is the main protagonist of this whole thing, maybe having him by my side can help in the future.
The fact that he isn't from the future calms me and is a reassurance in itself that the future is good. This was my first thought when I saw him. He didn't give any reaction when he saw me, he never looked like he thought about me not being in his future. At least that's what I think right now.
They looked at each other and nodded. "W- we will join." The red haired dude said again.
I smiled in satisfaction. "Good. Well, I'll talk to Mikey then."
Their eyes widened yet again as they heard the name of the invincible Mikey. They opened their mouth to say something yet again but I beat them to it.
"He's like my younger brother. Don't bother to ask any further. I know all the members of Toman and ex-Black Dragons personally." Their mouths opened wide. Why are they so dramatic and comical. I don't know whether I should be amused or annoyed.
"Well, if you are interested, come to the place where the fights take place. You know the place and time." I didn't give them time to respond as I walked away. I will make use of these kids and hone them to be their best. After all, if they become strong enough, they will be useful in the fight with that Filipino guy who is Emma's brother or something.
With my hands in my pocket, I heaved a sigh. I caught a glimpse of Oshiko just a little further, in front of a tea cafe. When she saw me, she waved enthusiastically and called me towards her.
"Y/N, Y/N, let's have some tea." I smiled at her actions. Her enthusiasm is contagious.
"Sure, let's go." I nodded and the two of us walked inside. It's not everyday you get to spend time alone with your best friend who has stayed by your side the longest. The two of us entered and placed our orders. It was a rather beautiful evening.

"If you're going to act like this, might as well give up." I scolded the kids, the Mizo-mid as they call themselves. They have already met Mikey, they are already a part of Toman. So far so well.
I decided to train them myself. With me was Hinari. They called her the queen of Toman for whatever reason. I've not yet seen her fight so I cannoy say anything. But I have questions about her, way too many.
From what I know, she's dead. In all official records, she is claimed dead. I ran a background check on her and came to a realisation. She is living a lie, a delusional life.
I talked with Shinichiro and asked him how he met her. He told me that they have known her since she was quiet young, and I met her when she was maybe seven? However, when he met her on the street, she had acted strangely, as if she didn't knew him at all. That piqued my interest.
I gave her a long stare as she was busy instructing the kids. A wide smirk formed on my lips as a thought came to my mind. I guess all of the pieces were falling into place now.
It's time for her to confront the truth.
I clapped my hands loudly, gaining everyone's attention. "Leave y'all. It's enough for today."
They all sighed in relief and ran away. They were running faster than when I told them to during training.
"I'll also take my leave now, Y/N-nee." Hinari said politely and picked up her water bottle and towels. She had changed since I last saw her. Though she is still quiet short, no, very short, she is strong enough to be known well among many.
"Not so soon Hinari." She turned to look at me with a deep frown resting on her face. I gave her a smirk, not a playful or friendly one but the one that screamed danger. Her eyes widened for whatever reason and she nodded hesitantly.
"You will meet me tomorrow, right here in this warehouse. You can bring Mikey if you want to. I know you feel the safest in his presence." She looked down with a small blush tinted her pale cheeks. She is so hopelessly in love with him and yet pretends like she isn't. Literally everyone knows about her crush on him. And I know for sure that he feels the same. But this isn't the right time for this.
"Okay."
Things might get messy tomorrow. I need to stay prepared.
