Chapter 28: No style (1/2)

As Novis turned around, he could see what looked like a girl in a school uniform charging at him. The girl was currently holding a wooden sword. Unlike Novis stick, this was a real wooden sword used for sporting events.

”Huh, is she coming at me?”

”I'll teach you never to bully people again!” the girl shouted as she brought her sword down on Novis's head.

Novis had been through similar situations with Arthur many times, he acted on pure instinct. As the blade came down Novis parried it away throwing the charging girl off balance. Then Novis went for a strike of his own. Now releasing what his body was doing Novis managed to stop at the last second with the stick inches away from the girl's face.

The businessman got up and came in between the two of them.

”Wait, wait this is a misunderstanding.”

”Wait a minute don't I know you from somewhere.” The girl said.

The man then bowed down to the girl, ”Yes miss Ashley, we met a while back at your father's place.”

As the man was bowing down talking to the girl. Novis finally managed to get a good look at her. She was a bit shorter than himself and had brown hair in the shape of pigtails. She was currently wearing the same school uniform as Novis.

”That's odd, I don't think I've ever seen her before.” Novis thought to himself. Novis was right, Ashley was currently in the year below Novis so the two of them had never interacted with each other before this day.

As the man finished explaining what happened to the girl, she quickly ran over to Novis and started bowing down to him.

”I'm so sorry for what happened,” Ashley said, her face was a little red from the embarrassment.

”Don't worry about it.” Novis too was a little red thinking the girl looked a little cute.

After the girl left them be the police had come over and arrested the four men. The men screamed saying that Novis had injured them like this but the police couldn't believe a mere fifteen-year-old could do this sort of thing. The men also had a past record so they were quickly cuffed and sent away.

The businessman then handed Novis a business card ”The name is Tom Dane, I wish to repay you for this favour. If you send me your address perhaps, I could return the favour to you somehow.” Tom said with a smile.

As Novis looked at the business card he noticed the VSW logo on it. It also stated that this man was a developer.

”You work for VSW!” Novis shouted.

”So, you know of us, well it's hard to find a kid who hasn't.”

Novis quickly handed the man his parents address. And the man smiled. As the two of them were about to part ways from each other. They realised that they were both heading off in the same direction.

”Do you live this way?” Tom asked

”No, but I'm heading to my Grandfathers dojo which is just up ahead.”
