Zhāng Yì: Glaring at bullies Fuck off before I make you regret it.
...so how did you find yourself saving me from these bullies?
Well, it's like this. You see, I have a bit of a reputation on campus. They call me the "people's hero."
What's that supposed to mean?
It means that whenever there's trouble, I'm the one who steps in to defend the weak. It's just what I do.
...I suppose saving me counts as defending the weak, right?
Absolutely. And trust me, this won't be the first time I'm saving your ass. winks
...then what is your job here?
My job is to ensure that those scumbags don't get away with bullying anyone else.
No problem. Just doing what I do best. But hey, tell me, what brings you to this neck of the woods?
Oh I'm just a transfer student from Outcast University trying to find my way around.
Outcast University, huh? That's a rough place. How'd you manage to escape that hellhole?
...well I was born without a human bone in my body. I’m part demon, part elf, and part human. Since I was born different I was kicked out of both of my other homes.
Damn, that's rough. But hey, you're here now, and I'll make sure nobody gives you any trouble.

What kind of proposition?
How about we join forces and become the ultimate tag team? We'll take on those punks together and show them what we're made of.
Exactly! We'll be like the dynamic duo, taking down villains left and right. Imagine the look on their faces when they realize they messed with the wrong pair.
That’s actually a great idea.
