2 Riyku Von Rosario The Unranked (1/2)
”Witless One...” Riyku muttered as he stepped to the side when Jack threw a sudden straight for the gut. It was then followed up with a right hook that Riyku seemed to dodge effortlessly as well. This wasn't the end though since Jack seemed to quickly strut upon his heel and twist himself from Riyku's line of sight in order to bring his left elbow to Riyku's temple. Riyku wasn't falling for this slow course of action. Although, Jack wasn't movingly sluggish either. To say it was a slow course of action was to say that Riyku perceived it in such a manner. The male was simply moving at the speed of a tortoise in his eyes. He would invade the male's space the moment Jack moved from his line of sight which caused Jack to miss; as well as broke Jack's view upon him. Jack was caught off guard with a dumbfounded expression. Since Riyku was just before him moments ago he had yet to comprehend that Riyku had brought his hand to the male's throat and cupped his fingers around the flesh before lifting him off the ground swiftly and slamming him into the roof-top. The concrete seemed to have been damaged from the force, but it wasn't much. Just a few cracks here and there. Though Riyku lifted the male again and slammed him back down again; repeating this process several times before releasing the male who had formed a slight crater around him. Everyone was a bit shocked; that this male did what he did to Jack. Though it wasn't over since Jack who coughed up blood would begin to rise steadily in a struggle.
”Do you concede?” Riyku inquired. Jack shook his head as he continued to struggle; attempting to push his aching muscles up. ”Then suffer...” The male muttered as he picked the male's head up by his hair and slammed his knee right into Jack's face which pushed the male back; upon his backside. He would then move to stomp upon the male's chest repeatedly which caused Jack to continuously choke out blood. After a moment Riyku would remove himself from the male and glance over Jack who was still twitching. ”Hmm... Do you concede now?” Riyku inquired. ”Just give up Jack! Please!” Bell who was off to the side began to have tears running down her face as she cried out to him. Jack would steadily begin to struggle to stand up on both feet firmly. His muscles clearly telling him to stay down though. ”No... I can't... Lose in front of you... Bell.” Jack stated, as noble as he sounded even though he seemed like a prick from earlier. Riyku would sigh before approaching the male yet again. ”Stop! Don't hurt him!” Bell shouted though Riyku wouldn't stop approaching the male. ”Then have him concede, or he may end up dying,” Riyku stated bluntly; with a coldness to his words. ”You'll be punished if you kill him!” Rick shouted which caused Riyku to snicker.
Reaching out to Jack he would push aside an oncoming weak fist only to retaliate with a throat grasp. Lifting the male off the ground he would begin to apply pressure to the male's throat. ”Concede now,” Riyku stated firmly. ”Give up Jack! This isn't worth it!” Bell shouted. ”That's enough man!” Rick shouted from the sidelines as well. ”I... I... Give.” Jack finally coughed out after several moments of struggling. Riyku would drop the male onto the ground and turn away. A blaring horn sounded off; which signaled the end of the Game. Jack's icon faded black with a red X and Riyku's icon brightened with bright text 'WINNER' over it. ”As stated in the conditions you will leave their group alone now,” Riyku stated as he looked at his ID Wristband.
”Fuck you asshole! You nearly killed him!” Bell shouted at Riyku from Jack's side since she had raced to Jack's side and knelt down beside him once the Game ended. ”But I didn't,” Riyku stated which caused the teary-eyed woman to growl and shake in anger. ”I'll get you back for this... I'll make you regret this!” Bell shouted in anger at him. Sophia approached Bell and placed a hand upon her shoulder. ”Let's get Jack to a nurse. He is in critical condition.” Sophia stated in which Bell looked up at her and nodded lightly. Sophia and Bell would aid Jack in standing up. ”Indeed you should. Though I'd be careful several ribs are probably fractured. Don't want him to die of hemorrhage now do you?” Riyku added which caused Bell to curse under her breath while they carried Jack off.
”You knew you would get punished if you killed him, right?” Rick questioned as he approached Riyku slowly. Riyku looked up from his ID Wristband which had displayed a score of one-thousand-seven-hundred-fifteen points. His glance shifting back to Rick. ”I did. I wasn't going to kill him though. That grip would only have caused him to pass out. Though the broken ribs could cause internal damage if not treated properly.” Riyku stated to Rick who seemed a bit surprised. ”But... that was brutal.” The pink-haired woman came forth. ”You need to strike fear in your enemies if you want them to stay away. That should keep him away.” Riyku responded. ”Yeah, but now you'll probably have more powerful guys on your ass.” The redhead perked up. ”Unless that is what you were after.” The black-haired male finally spoke; his voice not as youthful as the others, but still held something of the sorts to it. ”It is,” Riyku replied.
This caused the four of them to become shocked. ”I mean, you are unranked, but should you really be making enemies? Wait, forget that, being unranked at this point in your life is rare as all hell!” Rick exclaimed. ”Is it?” Riyku shifted his head to the side curiously. ”Duh!” Rick shouted. ”Well, it doesn't matter now. Who are you people, since you already know my name.” Riyku stated bluntly as he folded his arms across his chest. ”Oh yeah! My name is Rick Lofty. This pink-haired shy girl is Mel Melanie. The feisty redhead over there is Jessica Volz, and our silent guy there is Eden Ions.” As Rick introduced each one of their group; they gave some form of gesture be it cheerful or rude. ”I see. Well then, pleased to make your acquaintance.” Riyku stated before looking towards the door. ”Say, are you new, Riyku?” Mel seemed to have questioned softly. ”I am. Though I've seem to have gotten lost on my way to the office.” Riyku stated which caused Rick to raise a brow and Jessica to laugh. ”What are you stupid or something!? How do you get lost on a roof-top?” Jessica added with her laughter. ”Just thought maybe I could find something from this view. Guess not.” Riyku stated with a shrug.
”We can show you around since you are new,” Rick stated warmly. ”Indeed.” Mel agreed. ”Wait, what!?” Jessica called out. ”He did help us out big time. Now Jack won't bother us anymore since that was the condition.” Rick stated. ”Well yeah... but.” Jessica tried to debate. ”Let it be Jessica. Rick has a point, besides there is no harm in helping a fellow student.” Eden stated as he placed a hand upon her shoulder. ”Ugh fine...” Jessica finally gave in. ”It is settled then. Let us take Riyku to the main office; might as well go ahead and show him around while we are on our way there.” Rick added with a smile. ”Yeah, yeah. Though we have club activities to do today. Don't forget.” Jessica seemed to pitch in. ”Oh yeah. Thanks for reminding me. We should probably pick up Nora while we are at it.” Rick added which caused Mel to sigh softly yet smile lightly afterward. ”You are supposed to be our club Leader. Don't go shoving things off onto Nora, now.” She added; the playful banter seemed to have caused the four of them to chuckle lightly.
”I don't mind a tour; though, shouldn't you four be heading to class or something? You look like students to me.” Riyku tuned in which caused Rick to shake his head. ”You really are new here. This isn't a normal school. Classes here are divided among the Divisions. For example; all of us in the scrub division only partake of two to three classes a day. The remainder of our time is supposed to be used to gather points and wins in Games. Of course, it would take forever for a single student to do such. So they create clubs. Clubs get specific activities, ranging from dailies to monthlies. Once an activity is completed the rewards are divided amongst the group. Though the activities given depend on the club you join.” Rick would explain to him which caused his brow to raise. ”And what is our club based around?” Riyku inquired.
”We are the Card Club. We specialize in Card Games. Jessica handles the poker games, Mel handles the games like goldfish and old-maid. Then Eden handles the games of memory. As for me, I can do all of them.” Rick elaborated for Riyku but seemed to have got punched in the shoulder. ”You mean sit on the sidelines while Nora does all the work for you,” Jessica added which caused Rick to groan. ”Hey that was rude, and that hurt,” Rick complained which caused Eden to react. ”Oh quit being such a baby.” This remark caused the four of them to chuckle ever so lightly which made Riyku shake his head lightly. 'I'm not fit for this world...' He thought internally as he watched the four of them. ”Let's get going. We need to get you to the main office.” Rick stated in which Riyku made a simple nod of his head before following Rick and company through the door. ”Say, where are you from Riyku?” Mel asked while they made their way down the flight of stairs. ”Yeah, I am curious too. We haven't seen anyone like you around here before.” Jessica added.
”A town a few days walk from here,” Riyku stated as he stuffed his hands into his pockets. ”A town? Is there one?” Rick inquired. ”There is. It's run by the Countess of Desires.” Eden replied which caught the girl's attention. ”You mean?” Mel gasped. ”Riyku... you aren't anyone's property are you?” Jessica called out in which Riyku shook his head. ”No. I don't know who my Father is, but my Mother died from illness several years after my birth. Afterward, I've just been living on my own.” Riyku stated fairly bluntly, and even though his mono-expression didn't give off anything, but his eyes showed the suffering in them. ”I am sorry...” Mel stated softly. ”Yeah, I didn't mean to pry,” Jessica added in which Riyku shook his head. ”It was a long time ago.” While he did state the truth of his parents' and his living, the place was entirely different. In fact, it was an entirely different time-span to. ”Umm... Did you, or have you well ya'know...” Rick stumbled as he asked softly. ”Have sex?” Riyku was rather blunt about it but wanted to confirm the man's suspicions. ”Rick!” Mel exclaimed and Jessica punched his shoulder which almost made him trip down the base of the stairs. Though the male would catch himself pretty well and turn on his heel to look back up at Riyku. ”Look I was just curious. Because they say that the town is filled with such things.” Rick attempted to defend himself yet only earned scornful looks from his peers. A soft sigh escaped Riyku's lips. ”Yes. I have. Plenty of times.” The male answered; which caused the girl's faces to fluster and Rick to bink for a moment. ”Well, I do not doubt it. After all, that is what that town is all about.” Eden stated.
”I don't know what is all the fluster. It's just an intimate act between two people.” Eden would add upon seeing their reactions. ”Wait, so does that mean you've done it to Eden!?” Rick exclaimed to which Eden shook his head. ”No. I've thought about it several times though.” Eden added in. ”T-thought about it?” Jessica asked with an even more flustered face. It was clear to Riyku that Jessica had a thing for Eden, and Mel was probably in love with Rick. Though he could only assume that the two males were oblivious to their affections. This caused Riyku to sigh ever so softly before shaking his head. ”You'll find out one day for yourselves. No one stays a virgin forever.” The male remarked which caused the four of them to flush, the girls turning even brighter than before. ”C-come, let's just get you to the main office.” Rick stumbled as he pressed onward, the other three agreed in silences as they followed him. Riyku couldn't help but release a soft chuckle as he soon followed the four of them from the rear-side.
The four of them seemed to have begun to converse about different activities; what they would do for that day and even classes. All the while Riyku had been glancing around and about. Taking note of the luxuries looking hallways with fancy looking lights dangling from the ceiling. There had been doors every so meters spread out with signs above them stating a single digit number followed up with a letter. It went from Three A to Three E; or so it would seem from what the male could gather before they went down another flight of stairs that had been in the middle of the Three C and Three D., Of course, there was a fork in the hallway it seemed with another hall-way that had branched in the opposite direction of the flight of stairs they were going down. Riyku had taken a quick peek but didn't get much from it. In the meantime, it seemed as if they had passed up several other students who bore the same checkered white and black shirt and black slacks as the rest of them. He simply thought of it as a School Uniform at this point. Of course, the women were wearing skirts and some of them choose to wear stockings of either black or white coloration to match.
Instead of parting upon the next floor down; they circled around the flight of stairs and headed down again to the base floor it would seem. Taking a moment to look left and right as the four proceeded on. Riyku would notice the signs having the number one instead of three, but the lettering was the same. He instantly grasped that it was the year of each student here. Was this a high school department though? ”I wonder...” The male mused lightly before noticing Rick calling back to him. ”Yo Riyku, let's go. The Main Office is right down this hallway.” Riyku saw that Rick was pointing down the fork a little way down in which he would proceed after them to follow them. Looking around a bit more, the male noticed that the eatery was on the base floor as well as a gymnasium and even club rooms. There was even a Game's Hall; that the male took a look through from one of the windows. It wasn't long before they reached the Main Office though. ”Here we are,” Rick stated with a warm smile along with the rest of them. Riyku blinked though in confusion as to why they were still here. ”Thanks.” He stated as he began to make his way inside. ”You don't have to wait for me, you know that right.” He would remark in which the four shook their heads almost in unison. ”Nope. We want to see what class you are and what your Altitude test looks like.” Rick stated in which the other three nodded rapidly. 'Altitude test?' Riyku thought internally.
”Oh. That's right. An Altitude test will test your intelligence, fitness, and mentality to best determine what your classes should be.” Coco seemed to perk through inside of the male's mind. 'I see...' Riyku added into his internal thought before chuckling lightly. ”Alright, but it isn't anything fancy.” The male stated before moving off to the main desk. ”Hello, I am here to pick up my schedule and take my Altitude test.” The male stated to the beautiful black haired young woman. ”Of course, I'll just need to be seeing....” As the woman looked up from her papers she slowly fell silent as she noticed the devilishly handsome male before her. Her face began to flush ever so slightly. ”Umm...” The male tilted his head to the side, adding to the brightness upon her cheeks as he attempted to get her attention. ”Ahem!” Her co-worker next to her attempted to get her under composure which caused her to shake her head. ”Oh yes. I am terribly sorry. I do not know what came over me. I'll need to be seeing your ID wristband.” The woman stated as she slowly regained her composure after a few moments. ”Of course.” The male offered up his ID wristband to her in which she placed some kind of device over it. Locking it around the ID wristband. ”Just keep steady and breath normally. We are going to do the Altitude test now and then provide you with your core classes.” The woman stated softly in which the male nodded lightly.
