Eli looked around the dark house. He went to his room and opened his wardrobe. Eli clothes himself with a shirt. He grabbed his backpack and dumped all his school equipment.
He grabbed some of his clothes and plunged them into the backpack. He grabbed some money. It wasn’t much. It was $50. I need more money… Eli exits the room and sees Jack’s room.
He pushed the door open and entered. He started to look everywhere, and there it was. An envelope was hidden under a pile of clothes. He counted the money inside the envelope. $700 in the 20s and 50s. That should be enough, Eli thought.
He went to the window and threw his backpack onto the patch of grass. He hopped down the window and closed it. He slung the backpack onto his shoulder. Sorry, Jack, I’ll need to borrow this money.
It was turning night already. Eli walked through the empty streets.
“Hey, are you Eli?” a soft voice asked from behind.
Eli turned his head, and his eyes widened.
“I… am? Who are you?” Eli tilts his head.
“I am Jules from Logan Tech, and I am here to take you out,” Jules cracked their knuckles and leaped in the air.
More Logan Tech bastards?
Jules rotates their foot, slamming Eli’s head to the concrete ground.

“Wait… are you a boy or a girl?” Eli raised his eyebrows as he analyzed Jules.
“I’m a BOY! Why does everyone keep asking that, asshole!” Jules’ cheeks turn red.
Eli throws a punch towards Jules’ face, and Jules falls back. Eli’s eyes wandered down as he saw Jules’ leg swinging upwards. Jules’ foot hits Eli’s chin, sending his chin upwards.

Jules’ hand touched the ground before their body hit the concrete ground. They twist their body, swiping Eli’s leg with their leg.
Shit! She’s too fast! Or he!
Eli’s eyes widened as his view was sideways, and Jules’ leg raised. Jules performs an axe kick to Eli’s head, slamming it to the ground.

“W-what?! Why are you blushing!” Jules staggered back as Eli rose to his feet.
“Cause it feels good.”

Eli leaps into the air. Jules’ eyes widened, and their jaw hung loose.
“Wow, that’s so cool!” Jules’ eyes light up just before their head gets slammed on the ground.
Blood danced in the air as Jules’ head snapped back violently, and their eyes rolled back. Jules’ face was marked by the outsole of Eli’s shoes.

After a few minutes, Jules’ eyes fluttered open. They quickly stood up and got into a stance.
“I’m not defeated yet!”
“Join me, Jules,” Eli extends his hand.
“Join you? In what? The Delinquent Council?! I despise them!” Jules clenched their fist, their eyebrows furrowed.
“No… I have a plan. I want to take it down, demolish it. I need your help, Jules,” Eli’s heart thumped. It’s true, he always hated the Delinquent Council, but to destroy it? He could barely beat Jules or anyone who’s remotely strong. He’s in the Delinquent Council, a contrast to him.
“D-demolish the council?! That’s! That’s! That’s absurd! The Delinquent Council has powerful fighters. There’s no way that we could destroy it! And—and aren’t you in the council as well?!” Jules’ eyes widened as they heard the proposal.
“It’s near impossible, but if we could gather other fighters who hate the council. We can destroy it. I am in the Delinquent Council, but that means I have access to other fighters'' strength,” Eli ran his hand through his short, black locks.
“I have nothing to lose, I guess… I know someone who can help us,” Jules twirled their fingers as they looked on the floor.
“Tomorrow, we will find him. I’ll meet you in the nearby park.”
[Few Hours Later]
This is really fucking scary! Sleeping alone in the middle of the night. I might shit myself.
[Next Day]
Eli and Jules walked around the streets looking for the person. They heard some commotion in the alleyway.
“You shouldn’t be smoking. You’re too young.”
The person lets go of the student’s wrist. They scramble and run away.
“There you are! This is Eli, and we want to destroy the Delinquent Council! Join us,” Jules hugged the person.
“I don’t wanna,” the person said as he caressed Jules’ head.
“W-what? But—but Levi! This could be big—!”
“I don’t care. Even if we joined forces. We would get destroyed and potentially die,” Levi looked down, and he met Jules’ puppy eyes.
“Tch, in one condition—“
“You don’t mean—?!”
“Yes, I mean that. Jules, step aside,” Levi pushed Jules to the side as he approached Eli.
“Eli, huh? You want to destroy the council, right? I don’t know how you convinced Jules to join, but recruiting Jules means that you should be strong enough to protect them,” Levi leaned closer.
Eli’s eyes widened as Levi rotated his body, performing a backkick. Eli’s body flew across the alleyway before hitting a light pole.

“You beat me. I’ll join your little stunt. Prove your worth.”
Shit… that knocked the wind out of me. Levi is so strong.

Eli grits his teeth and stands up.

Eli leaps into the air. What the?! That’s my move—!
Levi leaps into the air, mimicking Eli’s movement. The difference was that it was more refined, and he jumped higher. Levi’s foot stomped Eli’s face, hammering it to the asphalt ground.
“What’s wrong? You’re clearly not enough to protect Jules. Give up.”
