Haru awkwardly made his way to the top of the stairs and sat where Erasa pointed. He quickly got Videl's and Sharpner's attention.
The professor started rambling about something and left the classroom.
"Hey, you're the one who beat Hercule six years ago." Erasa laughed in her cute voice.
"Oh, I was kind of hoping everyone would just forget about that." replied Haru shyly.
"And why's that?" Videl glared.
"Videl is Hercule's daughter." Erasa explained, gesturing towards her.
"Well, I sort of don't want all the attention if it can be helped," said Haru.
"Why?" asked Sharpner.
"I just don't like it, that's all." Haru said, dipping down in his seat a bit.
Videl continued glaring.
"Oooh a shy boy." Erasa teased as she blushed.
Nearby students were talking about the golden fighter, but Videl was more interested in Haru.
"So you beat my dad huh? Was it your strength, or was it just dumb luck?" she sounded angry and slammed her hands on her desk.
"Whatever helps you sleep at night." Haru replied darkly, sending a glare of his own. The dark personality of his SSJ2 personality came out for a second. He wasn't about to be bullied by some weakling's pushy daughter.
"Ooooooh." the class yelled in response to Haru's comeback to Videl.
Erasa and Sharpner smiled, but for different reasons. Erasa liked the bad boy image resonating from Haru, Sharpner smiled because he was expecting Videl to attack. He knew she was strong.
Videl stood up and made her way over to Haru.
As she closed in, the professor barged back in with some text books.
"Ms. Videl! Please have a seat." he called to her and the surrounding students giggled.
Videl stopped and continued glaring at Haru.
Haru looked like he didn't really care, but he did smile. He had become popular on his first day.
The class continued without confrontation; as Haru made his way out for lunch, he unfortunately ran into Videl, who waited for him by his locker.
Haru tried to go around her without incident, but she moved in front of him. She tried to push him back to keep him from leaving, but she had a hard time doing so.
"What are you doing?" Haru asked, somewhat annoyed.
"Did you really think you could get out of fighting me, just because the professor came in to save your hide? Hah! You look like a coward! How could someone as stupid as you defeat my father! You don't look tough at all!" Videl started screaming.
"Looks can be deceiving," said Haru with a nervous smile.
Videl threw a punch, and Haru effortlessly dodged it.
"Stop, please. I don't want to fight you." said Haru.
"Well I want to fight you!" Videl yelled. As she was yelling this some of the students began to gather in the hall. Erasa and Sharpner were there too.
"I don't want people to think I'm some kind of chick beater." Haru sighed out loud.
"You're fine, I'm tougher than any guy here!" Videl exclaimed.
"What's going on here!" yelled some teachers as they cut in through the crowd.
"Uh… nothing really." said Haru with a shy laugh.
"After school, you're dead." spoke Videl coldly, as she disappeared into the gathered students.
"Why does she hate Haru so much?" asked a student in the crowd.
"It's because he beat her dad." replied Erasa.
The rest of school continued without incident. But for the third time today, Haru knew he would have to face Videl.
Erasa walked with him because she had developed a crush on him. Sharpner stayed behind for practice.
"So, you live around here?" Erasa asked coyly and flirtatiously. Haru could tell she liked him. He recognized her body language, having lived with Zangya the last six years.
"I got my own place with the prize money I got the year I thrashed Videl's dad." Haru replied smugly.
Videl had been trailing them and that line was the last straw.
"Huuuu-Ah!" she yelled as she tried to land a flying kick on Haru from behind. He sensed her oncoming attack and turned around. He blocked her boot with his pinky finger. Shocking everyone watching in the vicinity.
Oh no, I forgot where I was… Haru thought to himself. This gesture shocked Erasa, but intrigued her as well.
"Will you please give it a rest!" Haru yelled, fully annoyed.
"Let's fight! Here and now! No excuses! No holding back! I'm about to prove you're a cheater or a fraud!" yelled Videl as she took her fighting stance.
A crowd formed quickly; likely due to the fact that Videl was something of a celebrity herself, being the local crime fighter and all.
Haru motioned for Erasa to release his arm. "Hold this for me." he said as he handed her his backpack.
"Wait, before I fight, will it make you not like me anymore?" Haru asked Erasa. He kind of knew the two were best friends.
"Videl's tougher than most men around here; so if you do manage to win, you'll be alright in my eyes." she giggled. It seemed Haru valued her opinion of him, which made her blush.
Haru smiled and got into position.
Videl wasted no time and lunged toward him in a flurry of punches and kicks.
Haru dodged and blocked, then took his opening. A pinch to her pressure point near her neck. Just enough strength to knock her out in one move, but not enough to endanger her life.
Erasa and the other people watching were shocked. Haru grabbed her and set her down gently. "I'm sorry." he said to her softly.
"Wow Haru, that was insane!" Erasa yelled as she embraced him. "Can I come over?" she asked flirtatiously.
"Sure." Haru smiled and he took her to his place.
The crowd of people gathered around Videl. Some did so to take her to a hospital. The stories behind this fight would spread throughout the town.
