Togame straightens up before he runs forwards and kicks Sakura's chest, a crack sounding from it before he is sent backwards, landing harshly onto the tiled floor. Sakura quickly flips over and starts coughing, holding his chest while also trying to get up and recover as fast as he can.
"Bullshit devotee crap?" Togame questions, eerily walking forward, and definitely angry about the words that came out of Sakura's mouth before he was kicked. His geta sandals clack against the ground as he walks towards the fallen Sakura, whose face is pressed against the ground in pain.
"Don't pretend like you know anything... about Shishitoren. Everyone in this has their eyes on the top," The audience cheers "They swore to persevere, to stand for what they believe in, no matter the challenge."

"That's what it means to be a devotee of power."
Togame stops walking when he reaches the struggling freshmen, looking down at him, "compared to you Superhero wannabes..." Togame lifts his foot up.
"THE WEIGHT OF OUR POWER..." he stomps his foot onto the back of Sakura's head, crushing it under him. Sakura grunts loudly, blood spraying as Togame yells, "IS FAR HEAVIER THAN YOURS!!!"
Nirei gasps, looking at the scene in front of them in horror.
"HE WON'T BE ABLE TO STAND UP AFTER THAT"
"THAT'S RIGHT! NOW YOU KNOW HOW STRONG TOGAME-SAN IS!!"

Togame huffs, hands that were clenched in anger now relaxing slightly.
"S-Sakura-san... he..."
"Wait," Suo states "He's not out yet."
Sakura's hand slaps the ground before he pushes against the pressure of Togame's sandal on the back of his head. "Like I said..." He starts "Like ya ain't doin'... what yer preachin'."
"It'd fit better if you change your goddamn name.. To 'Our little bully club'!!" He taunts, a bloody grin .
Togame stares back at him, the shadows making his face look scary, eyes are wide in anger. "Stop... Talking back to me."

Togame states, lifting his leg up, though allowing Sakura to still push himself up slowly.
"I'D NEVER LOSE TO ASSHOLRES WHO'D BEAT UP A GUY WHO'S ALREADY DOWN..."

The image of the Shishitoren member from the other day, bloody and bruised, Togame holding him by his short hair. Nirei turns away, not wanting to watch his friend get his face crushed onto the floor. Suo watches nervously, but his feelings are not shown on his face. Ryuu covers his ears with his hands, looking at the scene playing in front of their group from under his eyelashes.

"Best of luck..." the junior high student bows, hands on his knees as he speaks "On your fight tomorrow!"

"AND I'D NEVER LOSE..." Sakura looks up as he yells "TO ASSHOLES WHO'S SCARE A JUNIOR HIGH KID AND CHASE HIM 'ROUND THE DAMN BLOCK!!"
BOOOM

Everyone watches, nervous as to how the taunting made Togame react. Sakura looks to the side, Togame's foot having landed beside his head unlike what many theorized. The Bofurin member bites his bottom lip, eyebrows furrowed in worry and annoyance.
"What The Hell...?" Togame asks himself " I never heard about this." the two past members of Shishitoren, who are sitting on the ground flinch as Togame turns around.

"Ahh, that makes sense now... That's why you two were there, huh?" Togame walks away from Sakura, who sits up to stare at the taller male's back as he starts walking down the stairs to the two Shishitoren members. "Sorry, give me a second..." he apologizes.
"To be frank, I did find it odd," Togame stands in front of the frightened teens. "Why would Furin trespass on our turf for no reason?"
"What did you two... Do?"
"Answer me."
His voice deepens to a threatening level, lip twitching in anger. The two sitting down shudder and sweat, scared for their lives.
