Martial Arts System
Chapter 29: I will handle it.

(Ichiro POV)

"Hey." I greeted Slych once I arrived outside of the stadium.

"Yo." Slych greeted with a wave and asked. "Where is Lucas?"

I shrugged my shoulders and said. "I don't know." Probably still at the changing room, but Slych doesn't need to know about it, I want to find out if Lucas gets caught and then laugh at his face.

"You sent me a text about the proof?" Slych asked, I looked at him with a more serious look and I said. "Yes.."

"It feels like that there is 'but' coming," Slych said worriedly.

I nodded and said. "But this will be way more dangerous than I first thought."

Slych looked now serious and asked. "So what will we do now?"

"Let's not do anything today, let's return to the hotel and talk there," I said and Slych nodded.

"Should we call Lucas? Is he lost or something?" Slych asked.

"Hey, Ichiro!" I heard a voice behind me, I turned around and saw the club advisor and the rest of the students from Irio coming.

"Hey." I waved.

"How come I don't see Lucas with you two?" He asked.

"He is at the stadium somewhere," I told vaguely.

"I will call him." Club advisor said, I smirked and nodded.

I saw the club advisor talking on his phone, but his face turned grimmer with each passing second.

He closed the phone and looked at me. "It was one of the referees on the phone, it seems Lucas got himself in a trouble.." Club advisor said while I tried holding back laughter.

"What did the referee say?" I asked the club advisor said. "Told us to come to meet them." I nodded and then we left towards back to the stadium with Slych following with a confused face.

We walked for around 5 minutes and we arrived at the place they told us to come to.

There we saw Lucas sitting at the chair with his head down, while referees were looking at him with disgust.

"What happened?" The club advisor asked with worry.

"Well, this captain of yours is a world-class pervert." one of the referees said with a face that looked like he ate shit.

"What?!" The club advisor roared.

*Pff..* I almost let out a huge laugh, but I tried to reign it with difficulty. "Well let me tell you what happened." one of referees said.

They at first heard some sound coming from one of the metallic closets and one of them went to check it out. After they opened it, they saw Lucas there standing with pale face and phone in open, with some recording program on his phone.

"..What the fuck.. LUCAS!" Club advisor roared.

"I-I can explain!" Lucas said with a pale face, then he looked at me hopefully and said. "Ichiro can explain it!"

Then all of the referees and club advisors looked at me and asked. "Can you explain it?"

*Sob* *Sob* I started making fake crying noises.

"W-what happened! Ichiro?" The club advisor asked with worry.

"I-I-I didn't know that Lucas had that preference, who knows how many times he has seen me naked in the shower and maybe even recorded those times! I feel so violated!" I cried, I fell down to the floor dramatically.

Referees then looked at Lucas with even more disgust, while Lucas was red in anger, with his teeth grinding and his hands clenched as fists.

"Are you alright?" Slych asked from me with worry while he crouched to meet my eyes.

I looked at Slych with teary eyes and hugged him. "He might have even masturbated on those videos of me! I can't get married anymore!"

Slych looked at me with worry, he patted my back and reassured me. "No worries, that bad man can't do anything to you anymore."

"LUCAS, WHAT THE FUCK, NOW LOOK, ICHIRO IS TRAUMATIZED." Club advisor roared, then said. "Keep your sick fetishes to yourself!"

"I-I am innocent!" Lucas yelled while almost crying.

'Ok, now I feel bad, I guess I need to save his reputation.' I thought to myself, then stood up.

I looked at Lucas, while all referees and club advisors looked at me in worry.

"L-Lucas." I asked while "stuttering"

"..Yes?" Lucas asked with hate.

"C-can you show your phone so that there aren't any v-videos of me." I asked with "fear"

"..YES!" Lucas roared, I "flinched" and referees and club advisors stood in front of me with protection.

Then one of the referees took his phone while taking a last glance of disgust towards him.

He then looked through everything in his phone and saw nothing there.

He nodded and said to others. "No videos of any kind, he didn't leave any traces behind, smart one this is."

All referees looked at Lucas with disgust and said. "So he decided to remove all videos when he knew he would get caught, so decided not to leave any traces."

Then one of the referees said. "At least no videos are remaining, so he can't fulfill his sick desires."

All of them nodded, then one of them looked at me with pity and sympathy and patted me on the shoulder, and said. "No worries, that bad man won't be able to do anything to you anymore, but I suggest you stay away from him."

I nodded with gratitude.

"Lucas! We will go back to the hotel NOW! And we will talk about your behavior there!" Club advisor roared and dragged Lucas away forcefully.

I saw Lucas passing me while taking a glance towards me with a face filled with hate, I looked at him with 'fear', which made him even angrier.

I know he won't hate me for this.

He will probably make a huge prank, which will lessen his anger.

But I will only focus on the present. I will deal with it when we get there.

Slych then got closer to my ear and whispered ."He wasn't actually there to video them right, only to record if Ledorman will be there right?"

I looked at him and nodded. "Indeed."

Slych grinned and we started walking behind the club advisor while being 10 meters behind that "evil" man Lucas.

Since Hotel is only 10 minutes from the stadium, we decided to walk.

After arriving at the hotel, the club advisor took Lucas to his room to have a talk, while the rest of Irio's students were looking at them with confused faces because they weren't at the meeting with the referees.

I and Slych decided to have our meeting at mine and Lucas' room

We arrived there and I sat at my bed, while Slych took one of the chairs and dragged it to sit close to my bed.

"So what's up?" Slych asked with a serious face.

"Let me show you," I said and took my phone to show the footage.

Slych looked at the video in silence, but when it came to the scene, where they decided to cripple him, he looked extremely angry.

"..They are truly disgusting." Slych spat angrily.

I sighed and nodded.

"Weren't we planning to leak the footage to news stations?" He asked.

I looked with a serious face at him and said. "They will never show this footage, even if they want hot gossip, they will never leak this footage, otherwise, they would be dead." Then I told him some things regarding Ramu higher-up's situation.

Slych looked grim and nodded. "Understandable, but it won't be only Ramu officials who would be after you." I looked at him in confusion.

Slych continued."It won't be only Ramu's reputation which would be destroyed, also Hiena's."

I realized that this situation was even more dangerous than I thought.

"This is playing with fire." Slych looked at me with a serious face.

"I know.." I clenched my fists and I looked down with a hopeless expression.

"I won't let them cripple you," Slych said suddenly, I looked towards him and then he continued. "Unless they invite Martial Captain to help them, they can't defeat us three, not with their capabilities, I can defeat that referee since he is only Peak Martial Leader." I nodded.

"But.." Slych suddenly said and took a deep breath and said."I don't know what to do with your disqualification, referee has a lot of power in it, if they decide to disqualify someone, higher-ups won't take off that disqualification, because it would look bad for them."

"So.. are you saying that I should just let them be?" I asked Slych.

Slych looked serious and said. "This is a dangerous situation, we can't leak the footage, because they obviously targeted you in that video, so you will be their primary suspect." I nodded with a cold face while grinding my teeth in hate.

"But.." Slych said and smirked."There are few things we can do."

I looked at him with hope, Slych then looked at me with a smile and said. "We can make it so that Ledorman will be unable to disqualify you."

"How?" I asked with a small smile, having a small hunch where this is going.

Slych stood up and patted my shoulder. "Leave it to me, I will handle it." I nodded with a smile.

'I can't let my friends get hurt by these flies.' Slych grinned viciously and then walked out of the hotel room and continued towards the elevator, going towards the lounge area.

And from there he walked out of the hotel, going to find someone…
