Chapter 17: Fight With Another School (2)
"Face me, damn it!" Claire shouted at the five Alphas who surrounded him.
They started attacking Claire one by one, Claire used his legs to beat them up. He knew his hands weren't that strong to beat someone up, so he relied more on his legs to fight them. One by one, he could deal with them, but they were too strong and numerous to fight.
Claire was overwhelmed fighting them alone. That was when his best friend came to rescue. "I'll help you!"
"Sure, help me Dior!" With their combined strength, they beat the five Alphas.
Dior's strength was above Claire's, his way of fighting was also quite fast. Claire was quite amazed to see Dior's way of fighting which he thought was very cool. Both of them guarded each other's backs so that no one would get hit from behind.
Even so, their opponents were also quite tough. They managed to beat Claire up until his lips were cut.
"Are you okay?" Dior asked Claire.
Actually Claire already felt incapable, he admitted that his energy was not as big as the Alphas. But he couldn't just give up.
"I'm fine," he replied while wiping the blood on his lips.
After fighting them with all their might, they were finally paralyzed. As for the other Alphas, their school managed to defeat Gracelya's school.
"I hereby announce that Keintheart High School is the winner of this battle!!!"
Everyone cheered triumphantly.
Claire collapsed on the grass with his breathing ragged, his vision began to blur but he tried to stay conscious and calm himself down.
'I can't faint here. I have to stay conscious,' he thought.
While he was trying to catch his breath, Joan got up and walked over to Claire. He used that opportunity to beat Claire up.
Claire reflexively turned his head to the man, but he was too late as he was kicked in the head first and fell down.
THUD!
"CLAIRE!" Dior who saw his best friend being kicked just like that, didn't accept it. He approached the man and knocked him down.
"How dare you play dirty, the fight is over and you!" Dior grabbed the man by the collar and beat him up once more.
Luckily, many people restrained Dior from going any further. The green-haired man let out a rough breath and went straight to the unconscious Claire.
"Damn, he fainted," he said.
"Then you take him home. Do you know where his house is?" asked one of their seniors.
"I know, I've been there before," Dior replied carrying Claire on his back.
At the same time, Joan noticed Claire being carried away. He took out his cell phone and called Fein.
Piip
"Hello?"
"Hello boss, I did it. The person you're referring to is here too," he reported to Fein.
"Really? Good, then how is he?"
"He's already passed out, boss. I managed to knock him unconscious!"
"...." Fein was speechless upon hearing the report. He didn't think that his men would do that to Claire.
"Hello boss? Why the silence? You're proud of me for doing it, aren't you? Me and the other boys also beat him up together earlier."
"You... Tch, until he gets seriously injured, I'll beat you up until you pass out," Fein snapped and then turned off the phone.
The man felt confused by Fein's words, why was Fein so angry about it? Did he do something wrong?
"What did the boss say?" another member asked.
"Looks like we made a mistake--"

Dior drove Claire back to his house on foot. He carried Claire on his back while carrying her bag as well. He did not expect Claire to feel light on his back. He knew that Claire's body was not too big, maybe that's why he felt quite light.
"Oi Claire, you still not awake yet?" called Dior.
There was no response from Claire, which was enough to worry him. He wondered if he should just take him to the hospital?
On the way, Dior sensed something different from Claire. He could smell the man's sweet scent. It was an scent that an Alpha would not normally have but rather another being like an Omega. However, Dior didn't think much of it, thinking that maybe he was just mistaken.
Or there was an Omega who had just passed by them.
'There's no way he's an Omega, right? No Omega is as strong as him...' he thought.
But there was still a feeling where he started to doubt that Claire was an Alpha, he didn't even feel Claire's Alpha pheromones when they fought earlier. Everything felt vague. Moreover, Claire had a smaller body than most Alphas. He even smelled quite sweet.
After about 30 minutes of walking, Dior arrived at Claire's house. When the door was knocked, a black-haired woman opened the door. She looked so surprised to see an unconscious Claire with a face full of wounds.
"C-Claire?! What happened?!" she asked worriedly.
"Just now... Some unknown person hit him. So... Claire fainted," Dior replied looking for an excuse. He knew Claire didn't want his parents to know that he had just fought with another school.
"Oh my... How could it be like that? Come in, please help me take Claire to his room, okay?" Claire's mother pleaded with Dior.
Dior nodded and took Claire to his room. In Claire's room, he laid him down on the bed. Claire's mother came in carrying a medicine box to treat her son. She looked so worried about her son. Seeing that, Dior immediately said goodbye because it was already afternoon.
"Sure, thanks for bringing Claire home."
"You're welcome. If you'll excuse me," Dior said, walking out of Claire's room in a bit of a hurry. He began to notice something in Claire's room.
The next day at school, Claire went to school as usual with a face full of treated wounds. He walked into his class and the first thing he saw was Fein who seemed to have been waiting for his to arrive.
They stared at each other for a moment before Claire finally turned his face away and went to his seat.
'That bad?' Fein thought.
At his seat, he was greeted by Dior who had arrived first. "How are you doing?" asked Dior.
"Pretty good, it's just a small wound," Claire replied placing his bag on the table.
"Good then. Oh right... I have something to ask you. Can we go outside for a moment?"
Claire was confused as to why Dior would suddenly ask him to talk outside. But he didn't bother and followed Dior to the roof of the school.
"So what did you want to ask me?" Claire asked.
The man walked up to Claire and looked at him intently. The two of them stared at each other quite closely. Claire didn't know what was going on with his friend that they had to talk that close. However, he didn't protest or say anything, he waited for Dior to speak.
"Claire... Are you actually An Omega?"
