Upon noticing the scene of Shotaro bowing infront of Hiro and Rin, students who were passing by them misunderstood the whole scene happening at that moment.
Trying to avoid them, some students even impetuously ran away as they witnessed the scene of Shotaro bowing infront of Hiro and Rin.
Analysing their facial expressions and body language, Hiro could tell exactly what they were thinking; Are they bullying that meek looking four eyed guy?
“It’s my pleasure to help you. But you should raise your head now. Or else some people will think I’m some kind of bully.” Hastily appreciating Shotaro’s gratitude, Hiro tried to lift Shotaro’s head up.
“Yeah!! You’ll make us look like bullies instead.” Added Rin with an awkward smile on his face.
“Sorry about that!! That was not my attention.”
Apologising to Hiro and Rin, Shotaro again tried to bow his head. However Hiro quickly caught him and stopped him from lowering his head further more.
“Why do you always bow your head? Please don’t do that again.” Requested Hiro sounding somewhat helpless.
“And before you bow your head again. I’m telling you, don’t do it.” Hiro continued.
After that the three of them started to head out of the main building while conversing with each other.
“Ahh right!! You told us that you weren’t friends with Masao. So how will you reach him? Like do you even know the way to his house?” Curiously questioned Hiro while walking towards the main gate.
“Well although I wasn’t friends with him. I do know where he lives. In the past I wanted to thank him countless times for standing up for me. So I often followed him to thank him. And sometimes I even followed him to his home. But I could never muster my courage.” Shotaro mumbled meekly.
Hearing Shotaro’s sentence, a shiver ran down Rin’s spine.
While frowning his brows, Rin then joked, “Damn!! Are you some kind of stalker?”
“Obviously not!!” Shotaro intoned with a flustered face.
“Chill dude!! I’m only joking.” Rin replied.
“Okay guys this is where we part.” Mumbled Hiro while pointing at the bus infront of the main gate. “It was nice meeting you Shotaro. Although we’re not from the same class, if you want to hang out with us, you can come to the football ground. May be we can play some football together.”
Saying such Hiro then rushed towards the bus parked infront of the main gate.
Because of the earlier incident with the girls in his classroom and Shotaro, that day he was the last one to board the bus.
Shun, Yuya, Shunta and others had already boarded the bus. And the bus was only waiting for his arrival.
Quickly taking a seat beside Shun, Hiro avoided the confrontation with the driver. And just as he boarded the bus, the driver asked, “Has everyone boarded the bus?”
The players in the bus replied in unison, “‘Yes Sir”‘
The bus then started moving.

To implement his earlier idea, Hiro required the help of Shun and several other players from the club.
Specially Shun, since he was the most friendly guy out of all his friends and his friend circle was big compared to others.
“Shun!! Do you have any tough friends?” Casually asked Hiro.
“Tough?? What do you mean by tough??” Asked Shun with a dumbfounded look on his face.
“Like someone who looks strong or someone who knows how to fight.”
“I do know few guys who are learning Karate, Judo and Kendo. But why do you want to know about them?” Shun questioned with a confused look on his face.
And all of sudden he abruptly turned his head towards Hiro.
“Did you get into a fight?” Shun inquired with a flustered face.
“Ahh no!! You know how much I hate fighting. So why would I fight with others.” Hiro replied calmly while trying to reassure Shun that he was worrying over nothing.
Leaning his back against the seat, Shun heaved a sigh of relief, “Sigh!!!”
“Then why are you asking such questions?” Asked Shun.
“Well I learned few things about Masao today during lunch time. So I wanted to help him.”
“What kind of things?” Curiously questioned Shun.
Hiro then revealed him about the past experiences of Masao and Shotaro. From the start to finish, without missing a single point, he revealed everything.
Yuya and Shunta who were just infront of them silently joined in on the conversation. Without speaking anything, they kept on listening Hiro’s elaboration.
“So I wanted to teach those bullies a lesson. And for that I’ve got a perfect plan in my head. But to implement that plan, I’ll need your help.” Finally after elaborating everything, Hiro finished his sentence.
“I see.” Murmured Shun.
“I’ll definitely help you, but are you going to beat them up? If you’re thinking of doing such then I’d have to decline.” Continued Shun with a serious look on his face.
“No!! No!! Don’t worry about it. I’m not going to involve myself in any way.” Hiro replied.
“If so then I can introduce you to some of my friends. Although I’m not sure what you’re going to do. But I trust you Hiro. So don’t break my trust.”
Finally aftet hearing Hiro’s response, Shun agreed to help him.
“Don’t worry. I won’t.” Nodded Hiro with a grin on his face.
‘Although I believe that violence shouldn’t be used to educate someone, but to teach those bastards some lesson, a little violence is needed. So I’m sorry my friend.’ Hiro mumbled to himself.
Even though Shun wasn’t asking him about his intentions, Yuya and Shunta both of them were extremely curious about his plan.
With his eyes gleaming with curiosity, Yuya was as curious as a fish. Unable to wait, he eagerly inquired Hiro right away, “Hiro!! How will you punish them??”
“Yeah will you threaten them?” Shunta joined.
However Hiro refused to reveal his plans. Although his plan was quite simple, he still refused to reveal his intentions.
He was simply going to make use of the power of those strong guys to educate Masato and his gangs. Just like how they behaved with Masao, he was going to make them taste the feeling of getting beaten, threatened and mocked for no reason.
As there’s a saying; Karma is a bitch. Hiro was going to make them believe in Karma. He was going to show them that Karma is actually a bitch.
Yuya and Shunta kept on complaining all along the way because of Hiro’s unresponsiveness. However Hiro still kept his lips tightly sealed. 𝘰𝑣𝘭.𝗇𝓔t
Although he got help from Shun, he wasn’t still done. He also asked help from the players of U-18 team as well.
