I heard someone was ignoring the rules in the relaxation rooms"
"Rina, Rina, Rina, what the hell. Are you all trying to learn my name today or something?"
Peter heard Rina complaining on the upstairs stairs and the next moment 3 different gang members started coming down the stairs.
Although the first person to land looked like a completely ordinary boy, Peter instinctively realized that he was also a leader.
The second person to land was an overweight man almost 7.3" tall
The third person was the girl Peter was looking for, but there was something strange that Rina tied her shirt above her navel, revealing the rose tattoo on her stomach, and her entire style resembled the girl Peter used to know as the steel rose. Rina even had a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire, like the steel rose she knew.
While Rina was at the top of the stairs, she froze in place as she saw Peter surrounded by a few people watching her.
When the boy in the front saw Rina's reaction, he narrowed his eyes at Peter and started speaking.
"Miss 4, is this boy your boyfriend? Don't get me wrong, you know I don't stick my nose in other people's business. If he's not your boyfriend, I'm wondering why he's here looking for you."
Rina came to her senses when she heard what the walking boy said in the first place.
"Peter, explain to me in one short sentence why you are here."
"I came to see if you were safe."
"What a GREAT move"
"He really looks like the boyfriend of a steel rose. I thought a person with a steel rose couldn't have a boyfriend."
Hearing Peter's normally romantic words, Rina was able to guess what was going on because she knew Peter, unlike everyone else, but now, as the 9th generation of the steel rose, she had to explain to everyone that Peter was not her boyfriend.
"Number four, don't you need to give us an explanation?"
Rina looked angrily at the black-haired boy who called her by her number, even though he had a formal attitude, but she couldn't get out of her command.
"He is nothing but an alcoholic who lives in the building where I live. He probably came here on my grandfather's orders. Also, why did you let him in, rat? He is 22-23 years old."
When the guy named Rat suddenly heard that he was the accused person, he hurriedly explained what happened to him.
"As soon as he arrived, he injured the little boss for no reason and went in. After crippling the little boss, I just walked around him so he wouldn't run away."
When Rina heard that Peter injured the little boss, she cursed and tried to run between the overweight guy and Peter, but she was too late. When the giant pile of meat heard that his brother, nicknamed Little Boss, was injured, he started running towards Peter.
Peter looked at the giant who calmly rushed towards him and used all his momentum to swing his fist, and he raised his hand and held the man's fist in the air.
Even the man was stunned for a moment when he saw Peter stop number three's attack with one hand.
Peter grabbed the man who was still trying to attack him by his arm with the only fighting move he knew, lifted him over his shoulder and slammed him to the ground. Because of Peter's inability to use the technique, the overweight man fell on his ass, but for someone his weight, that was enough to break his hip bones and leave him disabled.
*Applause*
"What an incredible power. If you learn some martial arts, you can definitely have one of the best positions in the top three gangs and enjoy your life."
Ignoring the man's chatter, Peter glanced at Rina once more to make sure she was okay, then moved to leave the school.
After waking up from her daze, Rina saw Peter walking to the door and wanted to run after him and tell him not to tell her grandfather about what happened here, but she was afraid that the man next to her would see this action as disrespect. Rina spent a lot of time to get to where she is now.
The leading man smiled at Peter's self-ignorant behavior and then noticed Rina's small movements.
"Number four, as you can see, seat number 3 is currently empty. You know what it means to sit in one of the first three seats, right?"
Rina looked at the man with wide eyes when she heard the man's words. Rina had already challenged the man in the 3rd place many times, but she had never been able to win against him due to the weight difference. When she heard that she now had the opportunity to sit in the 3rd place, she immediately became attentive.
"I want that man. I don't care how you do it. He doesn't have to be completely at my disposal. All you have to do is convince him to help me when I need it. Do you understand?"
Rina couldn't resist the temptation of being number three even for a short while because there was a secret that Rina was hiding from everyone. Rina's dream was to prevent the increase of girls who became drug addicts in high school and had to sell their bodies for drugs in the future, and someone sitting in the first 3 seats would have the authority to make this happen.
"What are you waiting for, go after him and do whatever it takes to convince him."
While Rina quickly followed Peter out of the school gate, she heard the leader's voice and turned around and saw the smiling leader.
" Rina,do what-e-ver it takes to make it happen "
He called me by my name. For the first time, he didn't call me number 4. Maybe I can actually achieve this. Sakura-chan , maybe our dream can come true, even though you're not here anymore
When the leader saw Rina leave the stick in her hand on the corner of the wall and run after Peter, he smiled slightly, squinted his eyes and went upstairs.
While the leader was going upstairs, the green-haired boy nicknamed number seven approached the leader.
"Are you really going to let that girl be number three?"
"Do you think I'm the kind of person who doesn't keep my promises? He's a trickster."
The green-haired boy waved his hands in alarm and denied
"That's not what I mean. If that girl gets into the top three, she definitely won't be comfortable. You know what she really wants, right? She doesn't care about money or fame, and she's too compassionate for a gang leader."
" Who am I "
"You are the king, sir"
"A king must be ready to make a sacrifice to grow his kingdom, number seven. I'm not the type of person to be content with being king of this neighborhood, I want the whole city and I need that boy to be my trump card at the next big meeting. Peter...what an interesting name."
"But drug dealing is our biggest source of income and we earn good income thanks to high school girls."
"Didn't you listen to me, he got tricked. I just said it was a sacrifice. I will give him a choice, drugs or the freedom of the girls. And he will choose to free the girls."
"If he chooses girls it really won't be a problem but what if he chooses drugs"
"I know him better than you, number seven. The conversation is over."
The short boy with green hair did not dare to speak any more when he heard the leader's words.

"Plsssss I'll do whatever you want Peter"
" Impossible "
"Don't you think this girl is so cute when she begs?"
Peter looked at Uzume who was watching Rina with a smile as she stood on her shoulder.
" No "
"Just listen to me before you keep rejecting"
Peter saw that he was close to home and warned Rina.
"We will be home soon, is it okay if your grandfather sees you like this?"
Peter pointed to Rina's school uniform, which she had folded inwards to turn into a super miniskirt.
When Rina realized that Peter had almost arrived at their house with his words, she immediately changed her skirt and shirt back to their previous state, took out a small pack of wet wipes from her skirt and began to wipe off the make-up on her face.
Peter took the opportunity to avoid being bothered by Rina any longer with this nonsense and started running home.
While Rina was trying to wipe her face, she heard footsteps and looked up and saw Peter running away.
"You animal, stupid freak. What's the point of running away from a girl, you rude ox!"
Naturally, since Rina was not as free from social anxiety as Peter, she could not ignore the workers working on the side of the street and chase Peter.
Before entering his own apartment, Peter made sure he wasn't being chased and told the old man he didn't need to worry about his grandson.
Of course, Peter wouldn't say what kind of environment Rina was in. As someone who once hung out in such environments, he saw that Rina had risen to the same level as the people she had to bow her head to. Technically, when Rina was in such a position, the old man did not need to worry about Rina. From what Peter remembered, even being the leader of a school made everyone become your slave, and Rina was at the neighborhood level.
The reason why Uzume remained silent the whole time and watched the events was because Uzume was quite new to such matters. Since Uzume did not want to make a mistake by comparing the worlds in her memory with this world, she chose to silently watch everything that happened. According to Uzume, Rina could be in danger, but considering the information she obtained from Peter's memories, she became confused and used her right to remain silent.
As soon as Peter entered his house, the first thing he asked was when he would go to a different world again.
"The door will be available at this time tomorrow"
"I understand. What kind of world will we go to?"
"I know we've talked about this before, but are you sure you want to trust me with the choice?"
"You chose well last time, besides, I can't have knowledge about a world without entering that world."
Uzume looked at Peter, who was sitting in his armchair, opening a bottle of beer, with the veins on his forehead showing, and entered Peter's spiritual space to think about the next world.
While Peter continued watching television, an idea came to his mind and he immediately went online on his new phone and called the technology store to buy a new television and computer for himself.
Peter talked on the phone for a while and said that he wanted to buy the best television and the best computer. When the salesman learned where Peter lived, he said without hesitation that they only delivered orders to the city center and hung up the phone.
"What was this? It said it could be ordered anywhere on the internet. I wonder if I said something wrong."
*Door knocking sound*
When Peter stood up and saw that the person coming through the doorway was Rina, he went back to his seat as if nothing had happened.
"I know you're there, Peter!!! Open the door, I'll say something!!"
Peter ignored Rina and started watching the 20 year old TV series
"Come on, open the door! If you don't open the door, I'll stand here and keep screaming all night!!!"
Peter was about to continue watching TV and ignoring Rina when a question came to his mind and he went and opened the door.
"You finally opened up. Why did you run away from me like I was sick? I was disgraced because of you."
Peter didn't want to listen to Rina's words and walked past Rina and entered Rina's house.
When Rina saw Peter going to her house, she guessed what he was thinking and let him go, entered Peter's house and started waiting for Peter.
