"Fight me next!"
The dust cloud dispersed, revealing a boy with bright red, messy hair and equally bright red eyes.
He wore the same academy uniform as Adrian, though his blazer hung over his shoulders, as if he couldn't be bothered to wear it properly.
Which he couldn't.
The red haired boy was pointing at Adrian with a large grin on his face, after he had issued the challenge.
Adrian immediately recognized him, and couldn't help but sigh. He had been hoping to avoid unnecessary interactions with this particular idiot, after all, he was a troublesome one.
Unfortunately, fate, or perhaps just bad luck, had other plans.
"No," Adrian simply replied, causing a confused look to appear on Darius's face, but a second later, he hit his palm with his fist as a realization seem to dawn on him.
"That's right," he started, "you can't just accept a challenge from a stranger without reason."
