Time passed, and soon the J High Festival arrived.
After Vin Jin was brutally defeated, the news of him being hospitalized spread across the school. Many of the students he had bullied were secretly happy.
At the festival, people were wearing different costumes—some dressed as tigers, some as bears. The atmosphere was lively.

After Auction Daniel Approached Crystal.
Hey Miss I know you. That girl Almost Won.
"So? You think you're that hot?" Crystal said coldly.
"You think I like you? Don't look down on others just because you're handsome."
Wait!! I didn't mean that.
Suddenly, a boy with dark eyes grabbed Daniel's arm.
"That's enough."
"L-Let go—"
He freed himself from Gun's grip?!
"I've never seen that before…" Crystal muttered.
Gun kicked Daniel.
"A kick? Fast… but I can block it."
Hit—
"He changed the direction of his kick… in the blink of an eye."
"He's strong."
"Are your eyes good… or am I getting slow?"
"You have talent."
"Gun, you shouldn't hurt him—"
"I was instructed to protect you."
"Hey, glasses. What do you think you're doing?"
"I saw everything, idiot."
Vasco!
"Vasco?!"
"Who are you? His friend?"
"Yes. I'm his friend."
"If you mess with him, you mess with me."
Punch—
"You want to mess with me?"
"I don't mind."
Then came the iconic words.
"Your glasses. Take them off."
Gun was shocked.
"You're not hurt?"
"This school is interesting."
Gun removed his glasses, revealing his black eyes—
(Reverse Eyes. Ultra Instinct.)
"Oi."
"Huh?"
Gun turned around.
"What do you think you're doing?"
"Who are you?"
"My name is Ryan Lee. And your name is—"
Ryan stepped closer and whispered into his ear.
"Your name is Shiro Oni Yamazaki.
Gun Park."
Gun froze in shock.
"How do you know that?"
"You're that famous.How could I not know?"
"Don't lie. No one outside the Yamazakis knows that name."
"Tell me. How do you know?"
"I just do."
Ryan picked up a metal pole.
Slash. Slash. Slash. Slash.
"Oh… that was unexpected."
"You can use weapons."
Gun said.
"You remind me of him…(" Goo").
"Interesting. Very interesting."
"This school is really interesting."
"For now, I'll leave."
"But I will definitely come back."
Gun walked away, murmuring:
"Ryan Lee… I'll make sure to tell Goo about you."
"Ryan!" Daniel shouted.
"You can fight?"
"Yes. I can."
"Thank you for driving that monster away."
"Don't say that."
"If he wanted to, he could have killed me right there."
"He's extremely strong."
"For now… let's go."
And then, everyone went back to their homes.
