I am the Strongest Man - CH001 - A trapped boy and a girl

*Small commotion sound

Bunch of fallen branches are being broken and muffled screaming. MC slowly walked to the bushes to check where the noise was coming from.

MC: (What's going on there? I can't exactly see what they are doing.)

Again, MC walked over to the other bush hoping he could have a better view.

MC: (Okay, there we go!) *Peeks

Teen1 (orange hair): "Hey, just tie Jin to that tree over there, so he can't retaliate.",

Teen2 (bland black curly hair): "I'm doing it already! Just focus on what you're doing, don't let her go or even scream."

Teen1: "Yeah, I know! Arrrgh!", screams out of frustration.

MC: *sneaks through the bush to the tree

MC: *grabs the arm of Teen2 and quickly strikes the back of his neck

Teen2: "Pwwoo.."

Teen2 faints and falls to the ground, small bump to Jin and a very small thud

MC: *crawls onto the bushes again, grabs a small rock, got near, this time to the Teen1's back and throws him the rock

*A sudden thud on Teen1's head

Teen1: (without turning back as he's busy tying a towel to the girl's mouth) "Hey, cut it out."

MC: *taps Teen1 on his shoulder and…

*BAM

Teen1 loses his grip on the girl and falls to the ground. He shakes his head because of the shock to what happened.

MC shoved Teen1 hard using his shoulder.

MC: *grins

The girl suddenly crawl out

MC: "What's going on here? Why are you tying them?"

Teen1: "Where's Jayson?" (Oh, shit, where is he?) *Clearly looked panicking

MC: "Who's Jayson?", he asked.

Teen1: "T-the one I'm with… The one wit---", interrupted

MC: "Ahhh, that guy? He's tied to the tree over there. He'll be out for at least half a day.", he said and pointed to the tree using his lips.

Teen1 gets up quickly and prepares to run as…

MC: "Not so fast, my guy!"

MC grabs, pulls him by the arm, strikes an elbow to his cheek and send flying to the ground. Teen1 manages to get up immediately and uses his arms to cover his face as MC sends another kick, but the kick was to the body and was able to hurt him severely.

Teen1 plummets to the ground, shaking violently because of the pain. Clearly in pain, he manages to stand up, taking a fighting stance. A boxing stance.

Teen1 now understands that there is no way he can get out without fighting back. He raises his right arm forward, a southpaw stance. His posture is very good, no one in the amateur scene can claim that he's a joke in boxing, he's a prodigy after all.

Teen1 quickly warms up by jumping ever so slightly at a rhythmic pace.

MC sees this and becomes interested. He put on a slight smile, just enough to see a glimmer of his tooth. He assumed a boxing stance as well.

Then Teen1 noticed MC'S stance. He shouted…

Teen1: "What the heck is with that stance?! Don't be funny.", mocking the MC.

MC: "What's wrong? You won't get past me if you just stare at me and talk smack!", he exclaims.

Teen1: (Ugh.. Fuck! I just noticed that he's blocking my exit. What the heck this is crazy!!!) *the angry look on his face is so visible now, he's red as a tomato.

MC: "Come on.", he calmly says while smiling.

Teen1 finishes his warm up, he darts to MC and quickly throws his right jab firmly to graze MC's left shoulder. He pulls back, slides to MC's left and darts back to MC, then throws his snapping jab.

MC seeing that a jab coming from his left, he immediately ready his legs and feet to form a pull back. He anticipated Teen1's moves, prepared for Teen1's jab to over-extend and quickly fired one of his own to his face. Then MC slides front, but Teen1 quickly raises his guard but MC slightly delays his second punch and baits Teen1 to lower his guard a bit; when he sees the slight motion of him lowering his guard, he launches a semi-left-hook-uppercut.

As Teen1 over-extends his right hand to reach a pulling back MC. He quickly felt the sharp punch that landed to his nose and felt heavy to breathe. His nose is bleeding.

Teen1: (I'm bleeding… just from a jab? Let alone I only received one of them.)

Teen1 saw another one coming and put his guard up to his face. In a split second…

Teen1: (No punch came. He didn't follow through. Amateur!)

Teen1 decided to answer back on his own. But the moment he moved his arms a small bit, another punch came flying up from an odd position, his neck and face completely thrown to the air and was exposed.

Teen1: "pfffoooo", spits saliva as his face and mouth are completely blown away by MC's second punch.

MC nearly completing his combo, he quickly cocks back his right to land a perfectly timed straight to Teen1's face.

Teen1 spits out some blood from his mouth while he is sent flying to the ground.

MC: "Okay, that was a job well done! That's a nice "post-run-warm-up"! That would be it for now." (You know, self-praising and appreciation is a thing) *taps himself on his shoulder

The girl runs to him and stumbles flat to the ground

MC: "Hahahahaha! No way!", laughing hysterically

Girl: "Why don't you help me up, instead of laughing?" *very embarrassed but managed to yell her thoughts

MC: "Ugh, alright-alright. Jeez, so serious."

MC helps Girl to stand up.

MC: (Ohhh…), he thinks to himself when he sees Ceres' face clearly.

Girl: "Thanks for saving us. By the way, my name is Ceres. You can call me Ces."

Ceres wears a blue dress and looks like someone from a rich family. Obviously, she looks good. Especially her purple but shiny eyes with her light purple long hair.

MC: "Ahh, I'm Perseus. Nice to meet you."

Girl: "Nice to meet y--", gets interrupted by Perseus

Perseus: "Before these guys wake up, we gotta tie this one up also. And let's wake your companion there."

Girl: "Yeah, you're totally right!"

As they tied Teen1...

*Jin wakes up groggy and seems confused asf

Jin: "Where am I, why am I here?", very confused, like hella confused

Ceres: "We were ambushed by the kids from Rockwell High School!", shouts again, but directly at Jin

Jin: "Ughh… I can't really remember… Damn, my head hurts~~!", still groggy from being ambushed

Ceres helps Jin to get up

Perseus: "Ahhh… guys do you need help to carry these guys?"

Jin: "Oh, oh yeah… Can you help us carry them to the city?"

Perseus: "Alright."

Perseus carries two high school students on his broad shoulder.

Perseus: "Fwooo, hiyaah~~!"

Jin: "Oh, hot damn!", very surprised with how Perseus easily carried the two students.

Meanwhile, Ceres is looking at Perseus with blushy cheeks. Then...

Perseus: "Hey, snap out of it. Let's go!"

Ceres: "Ahh, sorry.", shyly nodded

They traversed out of the forest by the end of the day.

The three went out of the forest, with them are the two high school students that were knocked out.

As they are walking in the park near the forest.

Jin: "Hey, Perseus. Why did you help us?"

Perseus: "You didn't want me to?", jokingly asked.

Jin: "No! I am so grateful that you came for our rescue. If not, things might get ugly for us.", horrified reply.

Ceres: "Ye-yeah, t-thank goodness you came to save us!!!", cannot look at Perseus straight.

Jin catches up on what Ceres is feeling.

Jin: "Speak clearly, geez! You're so obvious! Hahahaha!"

Ceres: "Ahhhh~~! Jin, stoooop it!", very shy and blushing profusely.

Perseus: "Hehe, stop teasing her.", he-he, bothered and shy but doesn't show.

Jin: "Haha! Fine, man."

-- --

They eventually arrived at the police station.

Policeman1: "Hey! What's that?! Who's that?! What happened?! Drop him immediately!", confused and angrily shouts at Perseus, halted eating his donuts.

Jin and Ceres were completely shocked because of the policeman's sudden yelling.

Perseus stops immediately and drops the two high school boys.

*Plop *plop

Teen1 wakes up from being unconscious.

Teen1: "Ughhh… Where am I?"

Teen1 seemingly confused as to what had happened. Moves his body but…

Teen1: "What the heck?! Why am I all tied up?", shocked and nervous, he yells.

Teen1 looks to his surroundings and finds Perseus.

Teen1: "Waaaaaaahhhh~!!! What are you doing here? D-d-did you do this to me?!", now as he panics, he shouted.

Policeman1: "Hey, kid. Are you okay?", he calmly asked.

Teen1: "Waaahhh! W-w-who are you?!", jumps out of shock and clearly panicked, he asked.

Policeman1: "I am a police officer, Greg. I will untie you now and the other guy over there."

Policeman2 walks to the commotion.

Policeman2: "Hey, are you guys with them? Don't go anywhere else, I need your statement."

Ceres: "Officer Greg, actually, they are our abductors, and this guy Perseus is the one who saved us from these two guys.", calmly speaks and points to Perseus.

Policeman2: "But why are they the one who were all tied up?", suspiciously asked and prepared to jot down details.

Ceres: "Because this guy, this guy saved us two from those guys from Rockwell High. They ambushed us and got Jin knocked out, they almost tied him up.", sobbing as she told the story.

Policeman2: "Okay, let me finish this note… Done."

Policeman2: "Okay, let's go inside the station first, we'll contact your guardians. By the way, I'm Officer Larry."

Ceres: "I am Ceres, a high school student from Schneider Industrial High School. This is Jin, and this is Perseus, we just met him when he saved us.", proceeds to introduce their group.

Jin: "Good evening, Mr. Officer, pleased to meet you!", very energetic as he wants to become a police officer as well, so he's quite excited.

Perseus: "Ah, My name is Perseus Escaleta, I am from Farming Vocational School from the next city."

Ceres: "What!!? Then why were you there?! How come that far?!"

Perseus: "Well, I lived with my uncle inside the forest. I was on my way back from running and chopping our firewoods."

Jin: "Oh, man, that's why. I noticed your body is quite broad for a high schooler! You're jacked!", amazed by Perseus.

O. Larry: "Okay, guys, let's head to the station then."

Then Officer Larry checks with Officer Greg.

O. Larry: "Hey, bud. What's up? Are you done yet? Let's bring them to the station."

O. Greg: "Yeah, help me restrain the other kid, he's scared asf."

O. Larry: "Okay. Hey you! What's your name and where's the ID?!"

Teen1: "Rico"

O. Larry: "Get your ass over here!"

That time, they walked to the police station.

Ceres: "Hey Perseus, do you have a phone?"

Jin: "Damn, you don't let go, huh?"

Ceres: "Shut up!"

Perseus: "You two are so close, what's your relationship?"

Jin: "We're si…~~ umppfh umpph!", he said but was interrupted by Ceres as she covers his mouth.

Ceres: "W-w-we're classmates!"

Perseus: "Ahh… You look more than, tho."

As Ceres pulled her hands from Jin's mouth…

Jin: "WE ARE SIBLINGS! WE ARE TWINS!", he shouted.

Ceres plops to the ground and sobs.
