The morning sun filtered through the classroom windows, illuminating rows of idle students. Daniel entered, each step measured, silent, carrying the quiet presence of a predator. His face was an unreadable mask, cold and expressionless, betraying nothing of the fire simmering within.
His classmates laughed and chatted, oblivious to the storm approaching. Daniel's eyes scanned the room and settled on his bullies at the last bench.
Fox-faced: dark hair, same height as Daniel, sly, cunning—the main culprit.
Bulldog-faced: fat, menacing, slightly taller than Daniel.
Frog-faced: small, wiry, always twitchy.
Daniel's body had transformed over the past months—leaner, stronger, faster—but he kept it hidden. Let them think he was weak. When the moment came, he would strike like a panther—precise, ruthless, unstoppable.
The fox-faced bully smirked. "Well, well… look who's here. Think you've grown up a bit, loser?"
Daniel's lips curved into a faint, predatory smile. Patience… observation… timing… strike precisely.
The bullies ignored him as usual, confident in their dominance.

The First Strike
Class ended. The teacher left. The three bullies circled Daniel, grinning arrogantly, ready to assert dominance. Some classmates watched pitifully, some froze in fear, others snickered nervously.
The fox-faced main culprit leaned in. "Ready for another lesson in pain?"
Daniel's voice was calm, chilling. "Oh… you mean the lesson you forgot last time?"
Shock flashed across the bully's face, quickly masked with arrogance. "Hah! You think you—"
Before the punch could land, Daniel moved with lightning speed. He grabbed the fox-faced bully from behind and slammed his head onto the desk with bone-crushing force. Silence fell over the classroom like a heavy shadow.
The fox-faced bully groaned, blood streaming from his nose and bruises forming on his forehead.
Next, Daniel turned to the bulldog-faced bully. With precise calculation, he threw a punch, staggering him, then followed with a roundhouse kick that sent him sprawling.
The frog-faced bully froze in shock, wide-eyed, unable to react. Before he could recover, Daniel was already in front of him. In one fluid motion, he lifted the boy and slammed him to the floor with a wrestling throw.

The Main Culprit's Downfall
The fox-faced bully, trembling and battered, tried to plead, "Stop… please… my family—"
Daniel's eyes narrowed, cold as steel. Like a hunter stalking prey… no mercy for those who humiliate family.
The bully threatened powerful family connections, but Daniel did not flinch. He grabbed his hair and unleashed a relentless, calculated series of punches. Blood mixed with sweat as the boy's face twisted in pain.
Finally, Daniel knee-struck him, sending him crashing to the floor. Silence engulfed the classroom.

Shock & Fear
The classroom door opened abruptly, revealing teachers and school committee members. Their faces were pale with disbelief. Their eyes widened at the sight of the beaten bullies.
Students trembled in fear, frozen, whispers running silently through the room. Daniel's cold, ruthless presence dominated everything. No one dared approach. No one dared speak.
Daniel's eyes scanned the room calmly. A faint, cruel smile curved his lips. "You're late."
The bullies lay battered, broken. Daniel had executed his first strike with flawless precision. The game had begun. Every pawn, every shadow, every move was now under his control.
