1. Silver Masked Man

It was a calm winter night…

The occasional barking of faraway dogs was breaking the silence of the night…

A girl came out to take a walk. She was unfamiliar with the surrounding area. Knowing martial arts, coupled with a Swiss knife in her pocket, she decided to choose a quiet road. Although it was cold outside, her white-colored hood was enough to keep her warm.

She was walking quietly until she heard the sound of footsteps…

She looked everywhere but found nothing. "I am 100% sure that there is someone," she whispered. Even if it was a faint sound, she heard it.

While passing by a construction site, she once again heard that sound. This time it was a sound as if someone was carefully taking steps, like those ninja fighters in the action movies.

To save herself from the intruder, she went inside the building to hide. Her white hoodie was shining because of moonlight, which was disadvantageous in that situation. Thus, taking benefit of her short height, she hid behind a big wooden plank.

Once again there was the sound of footsteps but now it was not of one person, but of a group. She guessed that these people must be here to find the previous person.

Unfortunately, that person was caught by that gang and soon a fight started between a group and one person. The person was holding a gun and that group was holding some weapons like knives and rods. He was avoiding the use of the gun, as if it will not be necessary to win this fight.

She peeped out again and saw a shocking scene! A tall man, who was likely holding the gun was standing straight, pressing his foot on one of the gangster's hand who was lying on the ground. That tall man was wearing a silver mask. Even if having a tall physique, he was a bit thin. His deathly cold eyes and aura were enough to scare the opponent to their wits.

He stared at them and smirked, "Still want to fight?". A person of that gang, who must be the leader said, "Child, don't mess with us. I promise if you cooperate, I will leave you. Don't you want to prepare for your entrance exam?"

What? Entrance exam?

That masked man is a high school student?

Oh my goodness! How can a senior high school student have such aura!

"None of your business," the tall man replied as if the gang leader was like a small bug for him. The gang leader smirked and soon the fight started, this time all the gang members attacked him.

To their dismay, he successfully knocked out those remaining four people.

He looked at the people on the ground and smirked, "Useless creatures" and looked at the dark passage which was probably the secret exit in that place.

While leaving, he stopped abruptly within few steps.

The girl held her breath, afraid of getting discovered, but the scene was different.

He stopped and was about to fall, but held the pillar and sat down. He held his leg tightly. Blood was oozing out from the wound as the cloth which was tied to cover the wound loosened.

Something inside the girl was telling her to help him. Without further ado, she came out to help him.

He was startled by a girl's sudden appearance, who was wearing a white hoodie looking like a white soft toy. She was short, her shoulder-length brown hair, milky white skin, and spectacle on her nose were the perfect match for the look. He was looking at her as if she caught him red-handed.

She squatted down and gave him her handkerchief hesitantly, "Here, take this and tie. Also…" The girl stopped and pondered if it is appropriate to tell him or not, "D-Don't go to th-that side. There is a black car hidden behind the parking area. It may be dangerous."

He was still looking at her without blinking. For some reason, she found him handsome and a bit familiar although he was wearing a mask.

When she was about to leave that place, he quickly said, "Thank you".

Boom!

Those words were enough to make her blush. She ran from that place with light footsteps, without looking back.

After coming out from that place, she went further to check about that car. It was still there and there were people still inside the car. She was about to return and tell him about that car and also to look if he is ok or not, suddenly a boy caught her, "What are you doing here?"

"Brother Lufan!" the girl exclaimed.

The boy was tall, had a thin physique and sharp eyes. He held her hand and they both came out of that building, without being noticed. They saw that people in the black car came out and rushed inside the building. The boy named Brother Lufan stopped as if contemplating whether to go inside or not.

She asked, "What happened brother Lufan? And why are you limping? Are you hurt somewhere?". He was startled and said, "Nothing, I just fell because of darkness while coming here. Let's go home. Your parents are waiting for you." He smiled at her and they both went home.

Even if he smiled at her, she noticed that something was bothering him. There was sadness, fear, and uncertainty in his eyes.

She was thinking about these incidents and suddenly a man came in front of them. He was 6' ft tall, had an aura of a leader, and his face was hidden behind the tall upward collars of his overcoat...

"And rest we will continue in the next lecture, that's it for today"

Huh?????
