You struggled in Gaku’s grip as he currently had you in a full nelson, blood from your head dripping down into your mouth.

He was panting. Panting too close to your ear. The fight you two had was brutal, but now you felt stuck in his grasp, only you had to stay silent as not to alarm the rest of the JCC.

“Stop struggling. It’s annoying.”

Gaku grunted, totally over the way you thought you could get out of his grasp.

“If you just worked for Slur this would be so much easier.”

Gaku had been trying to recruit you for a while. Well, Slur was using Gaku to recruit you, although, he wouldn’t mind having someone as hot as you in his clique—for once not some freak like the ones Slur usually hired. Plus, he thought you were kind of cool. You always managed to be on par with him in fights, making them interesting for once.

In a way, Gaku admired you. Someone confident and well put-together. Not like the usual NPCs of society. If only you didn’t work for the enemy, maybe he could actually play video games with you—not that he hadn’t tried, you just rejected the offer every time.

“Or tell me something useful for once.”
