The remaining three thugs were left stunned,their minds still reeling from the sudden turn of events.Before they could even register what was happening,Vsa's assault came raining down on them like a tempest.
With agile and ruthless movements,he targeted their eyes,necks,and groins—each strike precise and unforgiving.His foot lashed out like a dragon emerging from the sea,connecting sharply with the knee of one thug.
The man erupted into a scream of agony,losing his balance and crashing to the ground,his hands desperately clutching his injured knee as he writhed in pain.Next,Vsa's fists pounded like hailstones onto the abdomen of another thug.
The man,caught off guard and unable to resist,turned pale instantly.A trickle of blood escaped the corner of his mouth as he curled into a fetal position,voiceless and trembling.
The last thug,sensing the danger,attempted to flee.However,Vsa's speed was unparalleled.In an instant,he caught up and delivered a swift chop to the back of the man's neck.
The thug felt a numbness shoot through his spine,followed by a blinding darkness.His body collapsed to the ground,unconscious and motionless.
Within mere seconds,the once-arrogant thugs were all reduced to a heap on the ground—some wailing in pain,others lying silently unconscious.
The once-peaceful grove was now shattered by screams and the sounds of combat,the air thick with tension and the stench of blood.
Seizing the opportunity,Vsa quickly grabbed Mia's hand and without a backward glance,sprinted away.Mia,her mind still reeling from the shock,followed instinctively,her legs moving in a blur as they fled the scene.Thanks to Vsa's well-honed physique from prolonged exercise,his strides were steady and powerful,his speed astonishing.
To Mia,it felt as though she was being pulled along by a ray of light,guiding her out of the terrifying grove.The wind roared past their ears as they ran,until finally,after what seemed like an eternity,they emerged near a teaching building,their figures disappearing into the campus's embrace.
Once they came to a stop,Mia's legs gave way beneath her,and she collapsed onto the ground,panting heavily as she sucked in lungfuls of fresh air,trying to calm her racing heart.Her mind was still ensnared in the horrors of the encounter,her body trembling uncontrollably.
The fear from moments ago lingered like a nightmare,vivid and haunting.After a few moments,as her breathing gradually steadied,she looked up at Vsa,her eyes a complex mix of gratitude and lingering fear.Her voice,still unsteady,quivered as she spoke:"Th-thank you...If you hadn't been here,I might have...fallen victim to those men..."The images of the thugs cornering her kept flashing through her mind.
Had Vsa not arrived in time,she couldn't bear to think of the consequences.
At that moment,Vsa seemed to recall something,a mischievous smile playing on his lips as he leaned in closer to Mia.His warm breath brushed against her ear as he whispered,"How can you be sure that you're safe with me now?"Mia's body froze instantly,her face flushing a deep red as confusion and astonishment filled her eyes.
She had never expected such a question from him,especially in this situation—it shattered the heroic image she had just begun to construct of him in her mind.
For a moment,she was utterly at a loss for words,simply staring at him in disbelief.Meanwhile,Vsa's eyes held a hint of anticipation,as if awaiting her response.
"Why can't I be a ruffian?I saved you from those guys just so I can have you all to myself!"
Mia's mind was racing,her thoughts a jumbled mess.She wasn't sure what to make of Vsa's bold statement.He had just rescued her,but now his words were confusing and a little intimidating."But you brought me near this busy teaching building.Why would someone with bad intentions bring me to a place with so many people?"she questioned,trying to make sense of the situation.
"The more people there are,the more thrilling it is,don't you think?Hehe"Vsa replied with a mischievous grin,his eyes sparkling with amusement.
Mia was taken aback.She looked at him,her face a picture of confusion."What...what are you talking about?"she stammered.
"I'm not your average ruffian.Here's the deal:close your eyes and let me have a kiss,and then I'll leave,"Vsa said,his tone casual yet firm.
Mia stared at him,her mind whirling.She glanced at his handsome face and recalled the heroic figure he had cut when he saved her.Slowly,she nodded."O...kay,"she agreed hesitantly.
Taking a deep breath,she closed her eyes,her heart pounding in her chest.She didn't know what to expect,but she trusted him,just a little.
But she waited for almost half a minute, and Vsa didn't kiss her either. Occasionally, she vaguely heard Vsa's voice, as if she was a bit distant from her?
Mia opened her eyes strangely, only to see Vsa. He had already walked more than ten meters away and waved at her, saying, "Goodbye, I was just joking
Mia watched Vsa's figure slowly fade away, feeling inexplicable loss in her heart for some reason.
This person is really amazing! Didn't he promise to give me a kiss? Hmph, he doesn't keep his word ...（＃￣～￣＃）
Vsa ran wildly all the way towards another teaching building. Although he is already late, running over is better for writing, indicating that he did not intentionally be late.
On the way, he saw many new students and senior students like himself. Except for the new students who were as anxious as Vsa, the senior students appeared calm and composed.
A few minutes later, Vsa arrived at the classroom door, listened to the sounds coming from inside, paused a few times, took a deep breath, and started knocking on the door!
Dong dong dong dong!!!
