The two of them were entangled in combat once again.
They really are incredibly arrogant, actually ignoring this huge person right beside them. Sawada Tsunayoshi wasn't asking for anything else; he just simply wanted to get a good night's sleep!
It's bad enough not being able to sleep outside the Police Academy, but this is the Police Academy!
Give me back my sleep.
An unnamed fury soared into the sky.
He just wanted to have a good night's sleep; it wasn't as if he was asking for the moon, so why couldn't that be granted?
Sawada Tsunayoshi rushed between the two, blocking one fist with his hand. Compared to their muscular physiques, he appeared somewhat slight, but his strength was undeniable, as was his true power.
"Stop." Sawada Tsunayoshi said with a cold expression, blocking one person on each side.
Matsuda Jinpei: "You've got some skill, kid, but this is a conflict between him and me. Once I've finished dealing with him, I'll trade a few moves with you."
A flash of joy flickered in Furuya Rei's eyes, but he still kept his focus on the current fight.
They really are never-ending.
Sawada Tsunayoshi said coldly, "If you want to fight, I'm ready whenever you are. You can all come at me at once."
This was a blatant insult; it was simply because he felt their strength was too weak. Matsuda Jinpei and Furuya Rei were as volatile as firecrackers.
The three of them were locked in a struggle; more often than not, Sawada Tsunayoshi had to fend off the attacks of both opponents by himself, but he remained as steady as a mountain, using the techniques Reborn had taught him to force them back.
In an instant, he actually held the upper hand, fighting two opponents at once.
The more the fight progressed, the calmer Sawada Tsunayoshi became. He knew clearly that his moves would only become increasingly ruthless; his enemies were all those famous figures from the Hidden World, in the process of fighting them, he was learning frantically.
He was learning nothing but lethal, devastating moves.
Finally, Sawada Tsunayoshi held them both by the neck, one in each hand, said with a cold gaze, "Can you be quiet now?"
Matsuda Jinpei looked at Sawada Tsunayoshi with surprise: "Hey, you're a completely different person than you are during the day."
A little white rabbit by day, a little lion by night.
This is because you two were banging and fighting all night, making it impossible for him to sleep.
Furuya Rei was the first to stop, frowning. "What happened tonight was our fault. I should have used a more formal way to resolve the issue. I'm sorry for disturbing your rest."
Matsuda Jinpei's eye twitched violently as he glared at him. "As if you're a good person."
He rubbed his hair irritably: "Forget it. Out of respect for this kid, I won't argue with you. Just remember not to spout any grand principles in my ear; it makes me sick."
Forget it for tonight, but I won't give up next time. Just keep your neck clean and wait for me.
Furuya Rei also gave a cold laugh: "Fine, I'll be waiting."
After saying that, the two glared at each other, nodded to Sawada Tsunayoshi individually, then walked away.
Then the three of them stopped together at the entrance of the dormitory stairs.
Sawada Tsunayoshi took the lead, while the other two were squeezed together, neither giving way to the other, both trying to rush forward.
The sounds of their bodies colliding, their teeth gritting, their mutual cursing continued to drift from behind them.
Sawada Tsunayoshi turned his head slowly, his large eyes shimmering in the dark night, looking as melancholy and dark as Miss Sadako on a rainy night.

Try saying that again and see what happens.
The two immediately quieted down, returning to normal in a second, as if no fight had occurred just now.
Sawada Tsunayoshi let out a silent sigh, as if he were watching Lambo and Gokudera Hayato arguing; it was likely a hallucination caused by lack of sleep, yet he actually managed to flash a smile that was a mixture of exhaustion and affectionate helplessness. "We are all good friends and great partners, so can you all please be quiet? Everyone else is sleeping right now. If you all behave, will I buy everyone cake tomorrow?"
He turned around, missing the looks of pure terror on the faces of the two behind him, as if they had seen a ghost.
Matsuda Jinpei's hair was practically being teased into a bird's nest, his face was pale. "What's wrong with him? Why is he speaking so.." He couldn't quite find the words to describe it, but he had goosebumps all over.
Furuya Rei is an upright person, he said, "I've heard that some people just need plenty of good sleep, otherwise their mental state will be very poor; this student is probably that kind of person. It is my fault; I shouldn't have acted on impulse."
You'd better apologize properly tomorrow.
A question mark appeared in Matsuda Jinpei's mind.
What was wrong with all these people? Could it be that he was the one who was abnormal?
Because Sawada Tsunayoshi and Matsuda Jinpei were neighbors, Matsuda Jinpei hurried forward to catch him.
Wait for me for a moment, just half a minute.
Tsunayoshi's head was spinning, so he stood where he was, behaving obediently.
As soon as half a minute had passed, Matsuda Jinpei walked out holding a package, saying quite unnaturally, "Um, about what happened tonight, I'm sorry. This is a steam eye mask I often use; if you wear it while you sleep, your eyes will feel more comfortable tomorrow."
Sawada Tsunayoshi took the item blankly, the person opposite him breathed a sigh of relief instantly. "It's getting late, you should go to sleep quickly."
The door closed.
Sawada Tsunayoshi's vision began to spin; this was what happened after several consecutive days of poor sleep. He obediently put on the eye mask; it felt warm against his eyes, a fresh, delicate floral scent drifted from his nose. He soon drifted into a deep sleep.
This time, no one disturbed him.
He slept until dawn.
Classes started quite late on the second morning of the new semester, giving the students some time to adjust. They only had about half a day of classes, even those weren't formal lessons; it was mostly just moving textbooks, arranging seats, students introducing themselves to one another.
Most of the freshmen were sleeping in today.
While everyone was lost in their dreams, a sudden, loud scream startled them all awake.
That shout was loud, it sounded so tragic and desolate, as if the person had been utterly humiliated.
Who is it? It's early morning, stop shouting and let us sleep!
If you've been dumped, then you've been dumped, just don't disturb our sleep.
If you want to shout, go outside; this is a place for sleeping.
But there were too many people here, everyone was fast asleep, making it impossible to tell which direction the sound was coming from. After a few muttered curses, he returned to his room.
Sawada Tsunayoshi sat on the bed clutching his quilt, his eyes lifeless, revealing a faint sense of death.
I can't go on living; there's no point in living anymore. Maybe I should just drop out of school today.
He felt incredibly embarrassed whenever he thought about the words he had said during his moment of confusion; how could he have treated two grown men like the bickering Lambo and Gokudera Hayato, used that kind of tone with them.
No, no, I can't think about it anymore. I have to forget it quickly, yes, forget it quickly.
Sawada Tsunayoshi held his head and chanted, brainwashing himself.
It would be better to finish washing up before heading out, so I can avoid Matsuda Jinpei next door. Once I'm in the classroom, it'll be fine; with so many people at the Police Academy, they definitely won't run into each other again.
Right, I'll go sit in the classroom first.
The police academy is so large; it wouldn't possibly be just one class.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly tidied his quilt, leaving it wrinkled, then put on his shoes, washed up, headed out.
He first went to the cafeteria to buy breakfast; the cafeteria's sign was very obvious, so he found it immediately.
A glass of milk with fried eggs for breakfast, plus a sandwich; the sandwich machine also has eggs, but he still wanted a separate one.
As he turned to walk back while carrying his tray, a group of noisy people burst in. They didn't care that someone was in front of them and walked straight over, pushing and shouting amidst their playfulness. Sawada Tsunayoshi tried to dodge them, but the person leading the group crashed straight into him during the commotion, though Sawada Tsunayoshi moved nimbly to evade the impact.
That person fell straight to the ground, crashing against the table.
"Who the hell doesn't have eyes? How dare you try to ambush me!" After falling, the man clutched the spot where he was hit and began cursing.
Are you blind? You didn't see me coming, you didn't see that I was about to fall, yet you still dared to dodge? Watch yourself, or I'll make sure you leave here in a body bag.
Sawada Tsunayoshi was wondering if he was being scolded, or not.
It shouldn't be him, because the reason the other person fell to the ground had nothing to do with him.
Sawada Tsunayoshi chose to walk away.
Several men with unfriendly expressions approached him, surrounding him with their tall, large builds and blocking his line of sight.
Kid, didn't you hear our boss's voice? Get down on your knees and apologize to him, or don't blame us for being merciless.
Several people hoisted the person on the ground up, cursing and swearing. The boss had a narrow, pointed face that looked incredibly sleazy. His hair was styled in a mohawk, shaved on the sides with the middle standing upright; he bared his teeth and hissed, rubbing the red swelling on his head.
He looked at Sawada Tsunayoshi with eyes that could not hide his malice and rage: "I'll give you two choices: either kneel down and lick my shoes, or let us give you a beating and throw you out of the Police Academy."
Chapter 46: Side Story
The 14-year-old Sawada Tsunayoshi was just an unpopular loser.
His grades were always failing, his physical fitness was always substandard, he could never do his homework, his popularity was always quite poor.
Hey, hey, hey, Feichai Gang, you only got 27 on math again this time? That's so embarrassing. If I were you, I'd drop out immediately. How can you be so thick-skinned to keep staying at this school?
He didn't know why teenagers went through such intense hostility; Sawada Tsunayoshi hadn't done anything wrong. He was just struggling with his studies and was just a bit uncoordinated; he had never done anything bad to anyone.
On the contrary, he was very kind; even though he was always being chased and bitten by dogs, he never said he would throw big rocks at them.
The classmates in his class bullied him, making him do duties that weren't even his, but he did them every single time.
He thought that this would allow him to fit in, that this would allow him to find a friend; as long as he did enough, as long as he endured enough hardship, they would surely become his friends because he was useful to them.
This idea came from the fantasy of a poor child who had never had a close friend since childhood.
But is that really the case?
Yesterday, he had only just finished his duty with this man wearing glasses, but today, this math representative was already circling around Sawada Tsunayoshi with the exam papers the teacher hadn't even distributed yet, promoting them wildly.
Hahaha, I could do better than this even with my eyes closed! Are you a pig? How can you not even know how to do this? Hahaha, even a pig would know more than you!
As expected of Feichai Gang, you certainly live up to your reputation.
Everyone around was laughing, with only a few people frowning, looking down on the behavior of the glasses, but they were not close to him or Sawada Tsunayoshi, nor did they want to stand up for a stranger.
The widely recognized good guy has gone away for a competition and won't be back for another three to five days.
Glasses opened the test paper and began loudly boasting about every single question on it, causing Sawada Tsunayoshi to lower his head in shame, whispering, "Give it back."
The glasses didn't hear him and continued to comment with great self-satisfaction.
Sawada Tsunayoshi raised his voice slightly: "Give it back to me."
